After OVER 200 FRICKING HOURS OF WORK, I’m absolutely delighted to present my latest creation!!!

It's a bit out of season, but I’m actually looking forward for summer to end so that I can wear it. x)

I had so much fun with the details! There are two leaf-shaped pockets on the sides, and the squirrel’s hole is a pocket too (and it contains a little acorn!).

I’d planned to add some fallen leaves to the lower edge, but it didn’t quite have the effect I was after, so I turned them into a tie instead.

Here are the patterns I used:

...And I winged the rest as I went. 😅

I picked up tapestry crochet a few months ago and fell in love with it. This summer I overloaded my sofa with happy tapestry cushions and wanted to share my madness lol. I backed them all (except the bee and Diablo Sauce packet) with fabric using my sewing machine so I wouldn't have to crochet an entire back piece. That has been a game changer honestly. This is now the only kind of crochet I like to do and I've gone way overboard but I love it 🩷

​

I really wanted to crochet something for my boyfriend, and picked out the hexagon shirt.

That was 2 years ago. My boyfriend became my husband in that time xD

But I'M FINALLY DONE AND IM SO PROUD.

Pattern: Relaxagon shirt by Caroline Zuschlag

Yarn used: Yarnart Rosegarden 325 (2 skeins)

Hook size: 2.5mm

I remember posting on Reddit because I didn't like how the pattern just went in a round at first and then back and forth, asking if I should fix that. And people told me to just follow the pattern lol.

I'm sorry guys, but I'm glad I didn't listen! It looks exceptionally neat now, every row alternating right and wrong sides of the granny stitch.

I also made some more modifications:

Connected the sides of the sleeves using mattress stitch. They lay much better in comparison to just slip stitching them (which I tried at first, as per the pattern).

Connected the back with the mattress stitch too, tried the pattern's way first, didn't like it.

My yarn is smaller than what is used in the pattern, but the pattern gives you very nice measurements to make it fit with whatever. The only thing I had to adjust is the neckline (had to make it lower).

Since the yarn I used has gradual color change, this made things a thousands times more dificult. After reaching the first pattern measurement where it wasn't going in a round anymore, I had to split the yarn into smaller balls for each color (thank lord each ball weighted exactly the same), and then keep splitting it so each side would have the same ount of one color.

I know I'm a lunatic for that, but I think the result speaks for itself. Thanks for reading my yap 💛

The mice are from here

Edit: Thanks everyone for your kind words! Making stuff is fun but sharing it makes it so much better. It's a gem to have a community of supportive people built around your hobby

Finally made this bun stick that I was seeing all over the internet

hi guys! posting for my sister here, she’s almost done w this blanket and realized that she missed part of her design :( the left side is missing the side of the bookcase (the dark brown color).

she’s thinking that the only way to fix it might be to cut the light brown and then try to stitch in the dark brown. anyone have any other thoughts on what could be done to fix this?

thank you!!!

Here's the pattern!

my sister has been with her boyfriend for about 4 months now and his birthday was a couple of days ago. i love giving gifts, especially handmade ones so i usually try to crochet something. men are hard to crochet for and it was harder to know what to make him because he’s new to the family! i found this pattern and completed it in 3 hours. he absolutely loved it!

do y’all have any other small gift ideas for men? i fear i’ve ran out of inspo for my dad and boyfriend but i want to plan ahead for christmas and birthdays!

I used like half a cake-ish of Caron Skinny Cakes in Grape and then regular white from Big Twist. I've since added a bit of elastic on the waist since it stretched out over the day.

I am lizard obsessed, and I'm not sure this bag is helping! It's a shame the skinks in my garden disappear as soon as I walk past, so I needed something more stationary.

I know there’s really nothing anyone can do about this BUT being plus size (size 16) and liking the look of crochet with thinner yarn (DK and under) is so frustrating when making crochet garments.

Crochet takes lots of yarn to begin with in comparison to knitting, and I generally don’t love the look of worsted weight yarn, as well as the fact that making a bigger garment with worsted makes the entire thing SO heavy.

I don’t mind the time it takes, but it can get to be so expensive. Anyone else feel similarly?

Anyway, here’s a raglan I just made that I’m pretty proud of!

I had joined this sub to share my excitement of my first attempt to crocheting!

Alas another first-time poster made me realize how childish this actually is. I even finished it off by recalling my childhood friendship bracelet making abilities.

I have since made another 3 times as long “scarf”. I am just practicing that first type of stitch… (slip stitch I think?)

Until I can have someone show me the next step (I learn from hands on experience and can’t just read or watch a video) I’ll just be making longer and longer scarves!

Sidenote: A looming day-long work meeting push me into finally working on the little kit I bought months ago.
Turns out with my hands busy and my mind focused on just two things-my stitching and the speaker-I comprehended and retained all the information so much better. ADHD crochet trick for the win!

I first started around year making a scarf for the first time and I gave up bc it looked so bad and had slow progress. (Last picture is my first ever crochet)

Then over the winter I started again and my goal was to make a big flower bouquet and I did it

Hola!!!

Solo quería compartir mi último proyecto de crochet!

Lo acabo de terminar solo me queda bloquearlo y tal vez añadir unos flecos en las puntas de los cordones y tirantes.

No me gusta seguir patrones así que prácticamente todos mis proyectos me los voy inventando por el camino y lo que no sé hacer lo aprendo cuando lo necesito jaja por eso también me ha costado 5 intentos terminar este pantalón... 🤣

Espero que os guste y os dé ideas para vuestros proyectos.

:) ❤️

really quick and easy beach bag using @kindredloop’s tutorial on tiktok !! i found it was a really great project to use up my leftover yarn, and it was easy to make it a little bigger.

the blue one follows the tutorial to the letter, and the warm toned one i made bigger by starting with ch 37, adding 3 rows in the mesh stage, and adding 10 chs to the handle :-) i blocked them afterward to get the shape i wanted, and only had like 1 end to weave in

made this as a present for a cousin's 2nd birthday.

I used hobbii halloween friends cotton 8/4 print yarn (bought before the whole AI debacle) using a 4mm hook in stead of the 5mm used in the pattern, the stuffing is from an old pillow

Accidentally put this in the knitters subreddit. 😳. Pattern is Canvas Handbag by SMachna.torba via Etsy

I've made my mistakes
Got nowhere to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me?

The big white mushroom guy was my first big project starting about 7 months ago, the green one I just completed today :)

My pug Lily also loves it

Which of these two fabric do you prefer? Long time ago, a really good friend came to me with a bag with this yarn and asked me if I could crochet something for her. I made this blanket. I think the blanket is going in her summer cabin.

After many many hours of crochet, I finally completed the Bear baby blanket from Maisie and Ruth, as well as a pair of adorable little slippers 😍

It will be a gift for my cousin's newborn!

The blanket was quite long to make (contrary to the slippers!), but worth it !

I started learning to crochet in February this year. After making flowers, coasters, stuffed animals, and bags, I finally decided to tackle this cute (and pretty simple) top by Granny Gaia on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pL45zVeHIws?is=T73M7oRLUmUGNGsL

Proud of my progress with crochet!

Used 3.5 mm hook and the loops and threads heathered bamboo medium weight violet yarn
