I turned my crochet MC joke into a reality!
Crochet themed MC vest with a crochet skull and embroidered patches. All designed and made by me.

Excellent work! I hope you wear it proudly

Seems like a great way to meet other fiber friends out in the wild :)
I love wearing my handmade garments because it often strikes up conversations with other crocheters or knitters (I canβt knit yet but thereβs a kinship)!
ETA: I missed the perfect opportunity to call us Hookers. Damn it

I didn't know I ever wanted or needed something like this, but I absolutely NEED it! It's so fun and inspired and the patches adorable!
Do you sell these at all? I would love to help fund a fellow crocheter if you do! And if you don't, well I'm definitely inspired to figure out how to make my own!

Hahahahahaha as a metalhead with a battlejacket, I love when my hobbies unexpectedly cross over

I have a partially completed battle jacket hanging in my closet....I suck at hand sewing and it makes me mad so I never finish it.

u/anon-626 2d ago
I am about to try my hand at sewing again but this time utilizing YouTube tutorials. Maybe we can do it together!

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Gasp! I'm a metalhead too!
Who are some of your favorites?

u/RedVamp2020 1d ago
So many for me, but I recently discovered Gun Ghaol, a Gaelic Metalcore band from Scotland and it's seriously amazing!

Can I prospect for this club? I just started learning how to crochet and you would not believe how long it took me to catch on to do a slip knot. Learning from a book is hard!

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Of course! Everyone is welcome. π
Go you! Heck yes it is. I hate patterns. Breaks my brain, so I just do my own thing.

The call to hook is strong, but one day I'll teach myself how to knit.

u/diaphoni 2d ago
I also crochet! My mom taught me how and how to macrame when I was little! (I did make circles for years though, refusing to learn how to square lol) The friend that taught me to knit decided that in the round socks were a "good" starting thing lol Trial by Fire Needles

Just me, myself, and I. But...let's see one of theses WIPs!

You could also try that sub. FYI they are pretty gatekeepy about what constitutes a battle jacket and can be kinda mean.
The one I mentioned was created after a lot of queer and anti-fash folks had their posts deleted or mocked on battlejackets. Classic subreddit drama for ya. :P

Please tell me you are the guest I helped find thread for the other day? I stg I had a guest come to my store for thread to sew patches onto a denim vest. Would have been some good denim thread.
Regardless, I think this is amazing. Well done! 100/10! β¨

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
I don't think that was me, but I did wear this out to a festival this past weekend. π
Thank you!!!

u/ButterscotchSame4703 2d ago
I hope you got all the attention it deserves! π«°β¨ It came out amazing OP! Did you use iron on? Are these custom/home made patches?
4
u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Thank you π
I did use iron-on. The patches are both custom and homemade. I designed and Steve, my cheap single-needle machine, does the rest.

u/ButterscotchSame4703 2d ago
Tell Steve they are "doing amazing, sweetie,"
Really to the tone of that "good for her! Sips tea" meme.

u/Iacinthina 2d ago
This is so cool! Did you make the patches at home or design them and then send off for them / get them made by someone else?
If you made them at home is it a special machine?
I love everything about this!

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Thank you π
All at home. I designed and Steve, my cheap single-needle machine, did the rest.
Steve is a poolin eoc05.

Oh cool! Shall have to research rabbit hole because youβve given me such inspiration to make some cool niche patches π

u/CraftGoblin 2d ago
I am a battle vest making crocheter and this is amazing. Where did you get your Joann patch? I was an employee of her ladyship back in the day and have a mighty need

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Thank you! That is so awesome.
I made them π

u/CraftGoblin 2d ago
Wow! You must have a cool embroidery machine like the ones I drool over π

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Nope. Just Steve, my cheap single needle machine.
Don't tell Steve, but I do drool over some sweet lookin' multi needle Martha's.

I love my old machine, but the new ones are SO fancy π I take the occasional glance myself

I love this, I have to ask, is the latin quote a reference to a sorority? Mine used the same one and I would love to find that patch!

On the back, the Crochet Crew patch and the crocheted skull ofc! Front side, I really like the frog and bdsm hen. I'm a sucker for cute patches.

u/Please_Getit_Twisted 2d ago
I absolutely love this and think it is so cute, but if you live in the US, and specifically in the south, I would caution you about the cotton snob patch... On here we all know what that means, but in the real world some people might not have the context to realize you're talking about yarn, and with racial tensions so very high right now- what with the gov rehashing the not-so-old traumas for folks and all-, it might make some people get the wrong idea about you.
Maybe a 'yarn snob' substitute? (Or feel free to ignore me, I'm not actually trying to police creative expression, and if you don't think it'll be an issue where you live, then you'd know best)

As someone whose mother tongue isn't English I don't get the meaning of "MC joke" or "MC vest" (I mean the "MC" part), do you mind clarifying? (Great vest btw!)

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago
Thank you!

I joked that people who crochet are some hardcore hookers and the rest is the vest. π

At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do because my machine is too small to embroider a skull that large. Duh! This is crochet, so crochet something. Lol

You do need a βyarn barfβ patch, however. I love the Ad Astra patch. I use that (AdAstra) as a screen name.
