This took me 2 weeks cuz i wanted it to be perfect and it is 🥹

I wanted to make something nice for my mother-in-laws birthday! Im super happy with how it came out

Final dimensions: 97"W x 92"L

I was sure I was going to be so over this long before I was done, but the opposite actually happened. I kinda never wanted it to be over. I did come to a couple potential stopping points and was happy to decide those times to continue. 😁 I worked on this on and off for about six months, lots of off. It worked up super fast.

I'm very excited to make some afghans now and each row is going to feel super fast. 😄

I used this Play Hookie With Me pattern, BLO only on first row of each color change, not every row.

I used I Love This Yarn in Linen, Spa (light blue), Graphite (dark purple), and Blue Spruce (dark blue) and Yarn Bee low pilling in Bruschetta (dark orange).

I made my first wearable!! Yay! I loved making this and I know there are so many things I could make better but gonna pat myself for this nevertheless.

This was my very first time using an alpha pattern (inspo is from Pinterest! pls dont mind my markups lolol) and also my first time using a bobble stitch for that matter. It was also my first time making something like a tapestry. Needless to say because of this, it’s definitely NOT perfect… you can clearly see where I messed up in early rows, but I dont really like frogging because I’m learning to enjoy my mistakes and like to think they make my crochet projects more human, more ME. I only got back into the hobby a year ago (im 19 now) so I’m still very amateur when it comes to crocheting :,)
This was made super last minute as an extra gift for my boyfriend because our anniversary is coming up, but tbh I think I underestimated how chaotic grid patterns could be. And of course as my FIRST try, I chose something pretty big. Simple yet somehow I didn’t expect it to be such a feat, idk why lol. 💔

Also we will NOT be discussing the back.. its better this way XD
Just wanted to share! ^ ̳ට ̫ ට ̳^

Its a bit see through though. Gotta get some underclothes to wear under it. But plan to wear it at the beach.

I have been crocheting for almost seven years and I have finally done what I haven’t thought possible and after 21,400 stitches and over 150 hours of work I have finished it.

Just finished this corner of to corner granny square blanket using I Love This Yarn in the color “Instant Classic” and white. Finished it with a round of half double crochet.
No particular reason to make it, but the colors inspired me and it’s super cheery and cozy.

I started crocheting last month and have only made a few basic things so far. I’ve always wanted crochet sunflower curtain ties though, and I finally made one for myself ☺️ I’m from India btw.

But now that I’m thinking about making the second one… I’m like I’ll use the one to tie both my curtains together lol

Crochet is SUCH a time consuming yet satisfying process. Best hobby I’ve picked up. Also , I finally understand the pricing behind handmade crochet products now. The amount of time, effort, patience, and repetition that goes into even one small project is honestly crazy.

And genuinely, I don’t think I could ever do this as a business 😭 I’d happily make things for loved ones friends and family, but making and selling for strangers who may or may not appreciate the work behind it sounds so tough. Especially with the market being so saturated and so many people selling crochet items for unbelievably cheap prices I seriously don’t get it how cheap crochet products even there on the market. I saw a comment on the tutorial I followed that such wireless sunflower crochet curtain ties can be sold for Rs1500-1700 ($15-$17) a pair which is justifiable but then I do a google search and found one on amazon for Rs350 ($3.6) a piece - Seriously??

All crochet small businesses deserve so much respect honestly. And please start overcharging lol!!!

P.S. Here are some of the smaller beginner projects I made initially! The sunflower curtain tie took me around 3 days on and off 🌻 Hope you guys like it.

My new favorite blanket!

i freehanded this pieces. i got inspiered by pictures i found on pinterest. the top is originaly from madga butrym and went viral a few years ago. i made the charts by myself on procreate. i am so proud of the fit. because I frogged it sooooo many times until it fittet almost perfectly. i made buttons on the backside.
than i made the sword wall hanging and from the leftover yarn the bag. i am just so in love with the finished pieces. why didn‘t i try it earlyer?

and should i sew the black bag inside my bag?
(sorry for my english and the strocke you had while reading it)

First two photos are Day 1 which failed honestly but Ive also just started to learn.

Last photo is today! Like a little like a fish now that I’m looking at it again but it’s quite cute! I learned a lil basics and will probably get it down better. Will def try again later.

Ps. Does the little pain go away as you crochet?

Yarn from hobbii 💙

After years of admiring all of the beautiful pieces shared to this sub I finally decided to give crochet a go myself. Made a blanket for my son and another for my MIL. Lot's of YouTube tutorials. Not perfect in the slightest, but every stitch taught me something new. I'm obsessed. Already planning two more projects so I can learn even more stitches and patterns.

I didnt really know what to tag this under, but it has officially been 2 years since I picked up a hook for the first time. I started thinking I would only ever do amigrumi, and then slowly realized I actually really like making clothes and other long projects. Here are some pictures of my progress through time :)))

Anniversary gift for my husband. I ended up using round bead tacks/pushpins and an old canvas that I cut the fabric off of to mount it. I wanted it to have some room behind it because it's intended for him to be able to hang his earrings on it while it hangs on the bedroom wall. Here's hoping he likes it because my fingers HURT from pushing in all those pins

This is my first ever finished blanket! My mom taught me the super basics like single and double crochet 25 years ago but it never really clicked for me back then. I think I wasn't willing to make mistakes and learn from them. I just wanted to be automatically good at it. Anyway, in January I was having a Very Bad Day™ so I decided to learn to crochet a granny square out of rage and spite because it's something I always wanted to know how to do. I was immediately obsessed. It was like I was waking up, a crochet sleeper agent, if you will. Since then I've made a bunch of different things and have a few works in progress but this is my first ever finished blanket! I started on April 13th and sewed in my last end this morning. It's about 60x70. I used Impeccable by Loops and Threads yarn. I made up the pattern because I saw a picture I liked and it didn't have a pattern attached so I just Leroy Jenkins-ed it 🤷🏼‍♀️
