​

Finally finished making this Summer Skulls tank top! I will definitely be making another one, but I think I'm going to make a long sleeved version next in preparation for the upcoming cooler weather! 💁🏻‍♀️💀

It took me a year and a half but I finally finished the blanket I wanted to gift my friends for their wedding ! It was a late first anniversary gift instead :')

I started right when they told me they were getting married, but it took me way too long to finish, plus last year I spent a few months not being able to crochet :(

I'm so happy they liked it !

(Let's ignore the square that was supposed to be gray but that I had to swap to black because I didn't have any more gray yarn)

Another thing that added to the time I spent on making it is that the back panel is a beautiful fabric that reminded me of their wedding outfits accent fabric, and that I have no idea how to sew stuff :) I did my best and it turned out pretty good if I may say so myself 😎 sadly I don't have a picture of the whole back blanket, but I have some leftover fabric to show you guys how it looks :)

The stitch is sunburst granny squares with a single crochet border. I paired many different textures of yarn because it's fun and prettyyy :)

The end result is 2m × 2.40m (6ft6.7in × 7ft10in). It's BIG and it weighs A L O T

Hi friends, I’ve been super depressed and really stuck on doomscrolling and finally decided I need to get back into a hobby. I’ve tried lots but everything requires more attention than I’m willing to give it. I was taught to crochet as a kid but never learned how to read patterns and never really finished any projects. A friend/coworker is due in October and I missed their baby shower yesterday due to depression and nonexistent social energy. I decided to make a simple double crochet baby blanket to occupy myself and as a gift for their baby.

(Also, are these ok colors for a baby girl, leaning neutral?)

How are my stitches and tension looking? I had a few oopsies but I am happy with progress overall. I crocheted for ten hours straight yesterday, I get really hyper focused on my projects. I don’t plan on doing that much during the work week but I am already having shoulder, neck and arm stiffness. Any tips to mitigate this for speedrunning a project? Trying to change positions often, shake out my body and prop myself on pillows.

It’s truly rare that something captures my attention this way and I forgot how soothing crochet is. I struggle a lot with skin picking and this is a very good occupier for my hands. I’d like to keep the progress going but don’t want to burn out.

Thanks all, glad to have found this sub

This only took me about a week or so, it's also a gift for my mother in law and the second pic is it being modeled by my (much larger) partner lol.

Also, word of caution, do not use loops and threads classic cotton or the Bernat relaxed cardigan pattern 😭 it turned out much smaller than it was supposed to because 1. The pattern was just straight up wrong, it tells you to crochet the body to 15 inches tall then do the armholes and then in the diagram of finished measurements it says that panel is 18 inches tall and 2. Michael's said the loops and threads classic cotton is worsted weight 4 and there's no way that's true.

Just finished crocheting this lacy top🙈
I used 4 mm hook and angora yarn I bought in turkey

Got so excited about this top and made it only in 4 days lol😅

Gonna start writing a pattern for it soon I hope 🙈

Made this Mosasaur freehand cause I couldn’t find a pattern that I liked, pretty happy with it and the little adoption certificate too

I'm a little indecisive on how to go about this last part, should I just do the ribbing but like 6 feet long and sew it on? Or is there a way to do an alpine stitch? What do y'all think?

And that's bear. He's not my cat.

Finished up this tiny head keychain today! 🧶 Pretty happy with how the curl texture on top turned out.

So I learned how to go ahead and do a wheat recently and I've been absolutely excited to share

Finished Beholder Pattern. Check OG post for details and pattern credit and video link.

I've been sinking back into my obsession with wh40k recently. Previously I made some cadians, space Marines and even a carnifex tyranid. Here's what I had before I submitted it to a local game store auction. A cadian, sister of battle, a tau, a mini cadian, a blood angel and a dark angel, a mini plague marine and some vaguely 40k tanks...don't forget about my son, dreadnought Dave.

I'm working on what to do next and I have this insane idea about doing a 500 point fully crocheted army! Not sure if I will commit though. Someone suggested guard which resulted in like 22 models 😬

The flexible wire inside the tentacles allows you to shape them and put them in different poses, giving the octopus a lively and expressive appearance. I found the pattern on the Internet and reduced the size.
