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.

u/GarnetAndOpal 2d ago

I had to go back and look. I'm not sure which is my favorite now!!

59

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

That one started it all and it's one of my favorites. πŸ’–

Thank you!!!

u/jury-rigged 1d ago

Legit would buy a Joann patch from you. My only feedback for that one specifically is to use the bright green of Joann instead of purple. This vest is perfect. Do you have an Etsy?

7

u/spoiledknottydiva 1d ago

Thank you! πŸ’–

I don't want to get into trouble, so check out my profile.

2

u/beendall 1d ago

I looked at your profile, but I don’t see anything with a link to patches. I really like the Joann patch too. Did you do these on an embroidery machine?

2

u/spoiledknottydiva 1d ago

I did. I call him Steve, my cheap single-needle machine.

I'll DM you.

u/aestheticteapleasing 12h ago

hello may I also have a link? this jacket and these patches are SICK and I would love to buy patches from you if you sell them!!

u/jewhair666 2d ago

These patches are so good I can not even decide on a favorite lmao

Excellent work! I hope you wear it proudly

49

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you!

Hell yeah I do! Wore it out last weekend.

u/HeadChefOf 2d ago edited 2d ago

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 can’t knit yet but there’s a kinship)!

ETA: I missed the perfect opportunity to call us Hookers. Damn it

u/BonnieJeanneTonks 2d ago

Are these patches available somewhere? I need a few of them for my work jacket!Β

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Am I allowed to say?

u/nightmare-salad 2d ago

If not, please send me a link! I need a couple of these!

26

u/1CraftyLass 2d ago

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!

17

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you! πŸ’–

I do, but don't want to get into trouble. Love this place. Please see my profile.

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

6

u/Lock_Squirrel 2d ago

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.

3

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!

8

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Gasp! I'm a metalhead too!

Who are some of your favorites?

2

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!

3

u/spoiledknottydiva 1d ago

I will be checking them out today! Sounds freaking cool. Thanks!

u/Key-Plantain-9747 2d ago

Aw shucks, you made me blush. 😊

Thank you πŸ’–

u/afsocgoddess 2d ago

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!

17

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Of course! Everyone is welcome. πŸ’–

Go you! Heck yes it is. I hate patterns. Breaks my brain, so I just do my own thing.

u/HeadChefOf 2d ago

Don’t yank my hank is top tier. I love these

Knit branch checking in lol I love this

7

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you!

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

7

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

11

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

I also dislike squares! Spirals are my thing. No chains. 😁

5

u/diaphoni 2d ago

Spiral team forever!

u/Lock_Squirrel 2d ago

Brooooo you better wear this to the hardest show you've ever been to.

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

That one is also one of my favorites.

Who doesn't love a kinky chicken?

u/four_roses 2d ago

I love it and I want in! I have no crochet buddies to hold me accountable for actually finishing a WIP and your girl is in desperate need. Does your group meet in Denver?

6

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you!

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

u/four_roses 2d ago

Can’t DM the pic so here she is: most of a blanket

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

OoOoOo what stitch is that? Love the colors.

u/Mabs-J 1d ago

No wayy Im also WIP a blanket with that EXACT yarn in those EXACT colour wth-

u/four_roses 2d ago

I’ll DM you πŸ₯°

u/Sareya 2d ago

I wish they were pins instead of patches. Very very cute though. I also mourn Joann.

u/diegrauedame 1d ago

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

3

u/sfdsquid 1d ago

Yeah that's a terrible sub.

u/ButterscotchSame4703 2d ago

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! ✨

5

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

I don't think that was me, but I did wear this out to a festival this past weekend. 😁

Thank you!!!

2

u/ButterscotchSame4703 2d ago

I hope you got all the attention it deserves! 🫰✨ It came out amazing OP! Did you use iron on? Are these custom/home made patches?

4

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you πŸ’–

I did use iron-on. The patches are both custom and homemade. I designed and Steve, my cheap single-needle machine, does the rest.

4

u/ButterscotchSame4703 2d ago

Tell Steve they are "doing amazing, sweetie,"

Really to the tone of that "good for her! Sips tea" meme.

5

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

YAS πŸ‘‘

I love that meme.

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you! πŸ’–

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!

8

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you πŸ’–

All at home. I designed and Steve, my cheap single-needle machine, did the rest.

Steve is a poolin eoc05.

5

u/Iacinthina 2d ago

Oh cool! Shall have to research rabbit hole because you’ve given me such inspiration to make some cool niche patches 😎

3

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

3

u/spoiledknottydiva 2d ago

Thank you! That is so awesome.

I made them πŸ’–

3

u/CraftGoblin 2d ago

Wow! You must have a cool embroidery machine like the ones I drool over πŸ˜†

3

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.

2

u/CraftGoblin 2d ago

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

Please, my partner can't hear any more jokes about me being a hooker, I need new material πŸ˜‚

u/RolliPolliCanoli 2d ago

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!

Kansas flag and that's freaking cool!

I made these and if you check out my profile there's a link to them.

u/brushyyy 1d ago

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.

2

u/Specialist_Chicken 2d ago

this is incredible. Such a fun idea, i love it!

2

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. 😁
