I finally got the cake I needed to finish my sweater!!! I'm actually really proud of myself for how this came out, it's much better quality than I thought I was capable of tbh... I'm never touching the Caron Big Cakes toffee brickle yarn again lol!

I found this yarn in my stash and decided to make a floor length skirt out of it. I've never made a wearable before without a pattern or a bottom at all and I'm very proud of myself. 🥰 I have a crochet book with different stitches and patterns in it and I just picked ones i liked and went with that! The yarn used is Loops and Threads Facets in sweet raspberry and spectrum. The waistband is Loops and Threads Luxe merino in Sedona.

When my second niece was expected, my first niece was going to stay with my MIL while her parents were in the hospital. MIL asked SIL and me to keep our eyes open at Goodwill/yard sales for little toys that Niece1 hadn't seen before, to help her stay busy.

I happened to see one of those turtle memory games, and decided I could make it myself. So I raided my stash and made it for her. She kept it for Niece1's stay (Niece1 was too young to really play memory with it, but she enjoyed putting the baby turtles in and out and looking at the colors), but then gave it back to me. She very awkwardly told me that she really didn't like the look of crocheted things, so she'd rather I have it for my own littles to play with.

Honestly, I'm so glad she told me. I would definitely have crocheted some other thing for her down the line, and I would have wasted all that time on something she wouldn't even like. Now I can spend my time cross-stitching or something, making something she'll ACTUALLY like! I know that a lot of "I don't like this" conversations go very differently, but I wanted to point out a way that that conversation CAN go well. :)

EDIT for clarity: the toy was for my MIL's toy stash, not to belong to my niece. Niece was the first child to play with it, but after that anyone who went to Grammy's house would get to play with it.

I made this too by making square motifs
I joined them together and got this beautiful top🥺

Pattern is called Bloom top

It’s not perfect by any means! (I’m still a baby crocheter, only been 5 months for me!) but I’m so happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to use it while out and about!

It's definitely not perfect but made with a lot of love.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice! I am absolutely unreasonably anxious about this so please be gentle, and I'm asking in this sub because you all know the work that goes into crochet. I am a crocheter as well.

So, I have a little problem. My SIL came up with the idea to crochet my 7 year old son a hat, mittens, and a scarf in his favorite sports team's colors. Not exactly the most exciting gift for a child, but he does LOOOOVE this sport team and the items are useful.

The problem is that she chose one of the colors wrong, think green and white instead of green and gold for the Packers (not the real team bc I'm paranoid). So like wrong enough to not be recognizable by my kid as representing the beloved team.

My child is incredibly sweet and kind, but very blunt and literal. I promise I'm working hard on teaching him politeness, but it's a work in progress. I am very, very worried about what he will say upon receiving this gift that he will likely be displeased with.

My SIL sent me a picture of the first few rounds of the hat, that's when I realized she'd purchased the wrong colors, and I DID tactfully point out that one of the colors isn't right. Only like 15 minutes of work will have been wasted and I know the yarn can still be easily exchanged, but she wants to proceed anyway.

So, what should I do here to prep my kid to gracefully receive this present?

I have some ends to weave in on the back but I was too jazzed to wait to take pictures. This is the Lilliana blanket by Hooked on Sunshine! 🧶☀️

the original intent of this project was to make a king(ish) size blanket with the skeins i snached up from a joanns sale. I've been sitting on 12 skeins of this color for a year now.

finally started the blanket and 2 skeins in i realized i horribly miscalculated something. aside from the stitch making it much shorter than expected, i accidentally made the chain 110inches, not the 90 i was aiming for(i even pulled it like 10 chains shorter). i must have had 0 braincells working when i first measured it. after 2 skeins being only 5 inches wide, that meant with all skeins it was gonna be a grand 30 inches wide 😂😂 i dont have the money to buy like 24 more skeins to get a reasonable width.

so i called it quits at 2.5ish skeins, connected the ends of this long scarf and stitched the edges together. now he has a cat donut and is in love with it.

may or may not add a bottom to it. will have to wait anyway since he's snoozin 😂

This took me like 12 days, i wasn't working the entire day on this. Just a few hours.

The scarf is whole 72x9 inches. I'd say this is a really good length and width.

I really like working on big projects.

I intentionally sized up the design because I wanted to make it big, I even made a gauge to test the size, but I'm still surprised how big it is lol, just the head is 400g of yarn

I am however still pleased that I'm gonna have a huge bulbasaur

this is my first time crochetinng a scarf and i loOoOoOove how they turned out hehe

The other day, I bought the purple edition crochet bouquet kit from Action. I quickly realized the instructions weren’t really beginner-friendly, so I decided to use the yarn to make some easier flowers instead!

Here are pictures of how they turned out, along with the Boo Basket I made for my boyfriend 💜

Has anyone used her patterns?

I used to knit years back but picked up crochet a couple weeks ago thanks to a woobles kit! Got hooked immediately and I’ve been playing around with some bigger, more complex patterns. I found this one in the Amigurumi Friends book (through the library on Libby). It ended up much bigger than I realized before starting 😂

Love this pattern it worked up so fast! Made some matching placemats earlier! Off to the post office to mail this beauty

This is the first piece of clothing I've ever made! There was no pattern for what I had in mind, so I designed it myself and figured it out as I went.

It took a lot of fixing and changing along the way (I redid the cuffs more times than I want to admit 🙃), but I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Would you crochet something like this?

Hi! I'm fairly new to crochet and have been building up my skills with small little scraps and such but this year I finally set out to do a full project, a pumpkin garland for Halloween. I'm so happy I saw it through to the end! It's not perfect but it's mine (also my cat enjoyed the quality time and chewing on the yarn)

Went to Okadaya in Shinjuku (Japan) and saw this lil fella! I normally dont buy patterns because i like to freehand my stuff but this one I just HAD to buy!!

Pattern was all in japanese but it was also mostly just a chart so it was easy follow, I only gave up on the legs and free handed them because I just could not understand what the pattern wanted me to do haha!

I love him

My attempt at an intermediate pattern. The letters was supposed to be crochet ransom like but it was too hard for me 😔 Tried many times and it never looked right so I just got some adhesive letters instead.
