Crochet

y'all have probably all long known this, but it's kinda blowing my mind right now so I wanted to share 🤯 the way they drape is also worlds apart:

the yarn used:

Right now, I'm working on a witch costume for Little Bitty. I'm about to make a bunch of little yellow stars to attach

Update:

He is really into Lego Rock Raiders so I wanted to make something that kinda references it, but is still subtle enough to wear to work :D

This was my first time steam blocking Acrylic Yarn, it makes such a difference!!! The finished scarf got super soft and flowy, none of that creaky stiff crochet feeling left haha

I'm still working on this bat lace bag using a much bigger thread and hook than recommended. I'd love to see what everyone else is working on!

How do I tell her it's going to be a bag?

Husband sent me this pic that he found on the site formerly known as Twitter. I'm impressed that they either found sock yarn/#10 thread in dayglo yellow, or that they used basic cotton thread and found dayglo yellow fabric dye.

my first amigurumi with color switching! there are a lot of small mistakes on this one, but i think the overall quality is an improvement over my previous amigurumi.

maybe its because the shape is more complex than i've tried before, but it baffles me that i made this with my hands from nothing but yarn, stuffing, and safety eyes.

Finally finished Gengar, it's my first stuffie and was a gift to my sil.

Now on the next, I think I found a new addiction

ok the title is a little bit of a lie, i made a tiny jellyfish before this but the that was like 10 tiny rows so it doesn't count.

i love this guy! i learned a lot about how to improve my technique while making him, and i'm just really stoked with how he ended up. his eyes are a little wonky and the tension in the tentacles is all over the place, but i can write that off as personality lol. i was also pleasantly surprised with how the variegated yarn looks in a finished piece.

My first project, I love it so much but I did something wrong with the magic rings as they keep unraveling 🙈

i just learned how to crochet and made these lil guys because the plastic/vinyl/whatever stuff on them was cracking and falling off. they're held taut by a drawstring which i just noticed is perfectly hidden by the angle of this picture, but i just used some extra yarn and tied it like shoelaces.

really simple and easy as a first project! i'm not sure if it is visible in the picture but i made the blue one second and i think it came out much better.

i got the idea from this video and used it as a general reference.

Playing around with a practice bag and found a cool strap that I thought should be shared. :-) Sorry the picture is sort of washed out, hope you can still see the fun detail on the strap.

Took me some time and struggled with choosing the right colors at first, but I'm super happy with how it turned out!

I used this pattern from etsy!

I had the idea a while back that making a crochet nudibranch with a frilled edge would be lots of fun. And I was thinking of making a scarf. So I made a nudibranch scarf.
