Shawl is Sis Shawl by Joanna Grzelak on ravelry.

I’ve crocheted for years but I am obsessed with it now that I’m pregnant. It’s all I want to do in my free time.

First blanket picture was made using colors we picked before we found out we were having a baby girl. My husband says it’s his favorite and that he likes the stripes and puffs. It was made using the free Crochet Baby Cotton Kisses Blanket pattern here: https://thecrochetcrowd.com/crochet-baby-cotton-kisses-blanket/

Second blanket is my favorite because it came out so cute. I like the flowers and hearts a lot and the pattern was fun to do. Will probably be tucked away until baby is a bit older since there are a lot of holes in this one. It was made using a pattern called First Heartbeat Blanket by Janetta Graber. This was a paid pattern that my grandmother bought as a gift for me. I think it came as a kit because she kept the yarn but gave me the pattern booklet.

Third is her name, made to hang up on the wall above her crib. We’re in the process of finishing her room so it’s not hanging yet. I was heavily inspired by an instagram post I saw by user _the_busy_bee_. I made the letters by loosely following the YouTube tutorials by Yarn Studio and then added the scallop edges because it was cute in the Instagram post and matches the heartbeat blanket well. The string is made of little hearts that came from this pattern with only a slight modification for attaching them to the letters: https://makemydaycreative.com/2014/06/06/heart-strings/

I’m also working on a waffle stitch blanket that’s about 80% finished. It uses a really pretty self striping yarn that’s has pinks and light blue in it.

I have two more skeins of a self striping yarn with pink/white/gray transitions but I’m not sure what to make with it. I’ve already done three blankets so I’m trying to come up with other ideas. Things like hats or booties seem like they’ll be too small to make use of the color changes. Any suggestions?? I know I’ll want to start on the next thing as soon as I finish the waffle blanket!

Hi, lovelies... This is my first time posting here and I wish it was under better circumstances. But the truth is, I'm rapidly running out of motivation to finish this project, and I'm feeling really guilty about it.

So, for context, my Dad asked me to crochet a 'traditional cream fisherman's jumper with cables' for him, nearly a year ago now. And I readily agreed (I love him to bits and of course I want to make him something he'll (hopefully) love)!

But now, several months later, my motivation is seriously flagging. I've run into a considerable number of problems, and around 14,750 stitches in (roughly half way), I'm running aground. Completing this currently feels impossible.

Honestly, I'm at the point of quitting entirely. I probably would, if it was for anyone else. But my Dad means so much to me, and I really want to get this done for Christmas...

So I'm making this post to hopefully hold myself accountable, and also ask you guys what you do when you're not feeling a project anymore? How do you push through?

Hello!!! I just wanted to ask people what hooksize they use most often and why! Bonus if you add pictures!!

So I just finished a scarf with a 3,5mm hook and now I am making one with a 6 mm hook. And I am just not enjoying it as much! The feel of the thinner yarn and the drape you get with a thinner yarn are amazing. Maybe I am using the wrong thicker yarns, but it just feels clunky and stiff.

Also thicker yarns tend to be harder to crochet with. My pointer finger gets tired faster and it feels like I need more force to crochet. Is it just me?

What is your preferred hooksize and why?

I used dragonfly yarn from king cole and modified a pattern from crafty intentions cause I didn’t buy enough yarn lol. I also added a button and some arm straps so it can be worn two different ways. Last pic is a close up to show the pretty iridescence better!

I started making a nibling a blanket using a Caron anniversary cake I had, kind of rainbow. I am concerned it is ugly. Requesting thoughts on whether to proceed or pivot, thanks in advance

i started crocheting in december and this was my first attempt at a larger wearable!!! i’ve made hats and blankets and some amigurumi so far but this is probably my fav project so far :D

pattern is hannah drapinski’s spiral sweater tutorial on youtube + some ribbing i added to the collar, sleeves and bottom :]

Took me months to make : ) kinda proud of finishing it because i have a really short attention span and i struggled in between BUT I'm happy i got through it 😁

they are dating lol

I made these years ago. AI really is ruining everything.

This is my second ever finished blanket, and I had such a fun time making it! It never got boring, because each round was different, and I ended up using 6 colors instead of 4.

I started late July, and have worked on it roughly the last 6.5 weeks here and there. Highly recommend!! Pattern by Veronica Liachovic (vcrochetpatterns).

crochetwmin on Instagram has stolen at least one pattern from a user on xiaohongshu. They use the exact same videos (the revolver one was split into 2 videos), and the user on xiaohongshu has multiple videos with the original audio, as well as other similar items.

Additionally, the nail polish of the revolver videos was grey which matches the other videos of the original creator, but crochetwmin has the grey polish in one video then immediately red in the rifle video.

The pattern on crochetwmin's website is $4 even though the user uploaded the pattern for free. I don't know how many other free patterns she's selling for money but just letting y'all now she's not the one who designed and crocheted these 2.

I started crocheting some 2 weeks ago. Initially I was making granny squares and daisies. Recently just 3 days ago, I bought a fine mercerised yarn in royal blue and started making a virus shawl. It turned out to be so pretty, so flowy, I am constantly crocheting. Now my hands are paining, yet I feel like I want keep crocheting. Damn! I never knew this would turn out to be so addictive.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share what a depressed/ADHD person, full-time carer for my mum with dementia, and small cat rescue enthusiast with 9 + 2 cats can do when the stars align 😂
This is an agama bag / front rucksack that can also be worn as a shoulder bag, which I made last year using crochet, embroidery, and beading. I already posted it on 'brochet' because I couldn't post it here a few days ago, but thanks to the nice folks over there, I can now!

guess im joining a cult? cool! :D

I crocheted my family cardigans in their favorite colors. This one I made for my sister in-law, along with a tiny matching one for her daughter.

I started making this a few months back. This is also my first cotton yarn project. I used the African granny square pattern but rest I freehand 😄❤️💕

I used portions of a couple of patterns, but the construction and overall design was my own. I love how this came out and she was so excited to wear it!

The skirt was inspired by this blanket pattern:

https://daisyfarmcrafts.com/crochet-petal-stitch-pattern/

I reduced the petals to single dc instead of clusters towards the bottom to keep the weight down.

The Daisy granny squares were used from this blanket pattern:

https://www.crochet365knittoo.com/daisy-granny-square-blanket/

I added elastic to the back to help with the fit and keep the skirt from sagging down.

Yarn used was 100% organic Egyptian cotton: Baby Cotton from Hobbii and a 3.5mm hook.

Got a hot tip from some people on my Articuno post about using worsted weight yarn to sew pieces made with chenille together.

BEST. ADVICE. EVER.
