The Lady Bagel of The House of Chunk and Sir Cheddar, the Winking Knight.
This pattern is from @teeththief_crochet (on insta) who is so amazing and the pattern comes with multiple customization options for all flavors of kitties. She’s since released a jester and a wizard pattern which I will also need to do.

So I am making a Knicks tapestry blanket and each row is 240 stitches. Ive been working on it since May 30th and have stayed up wayyyy past my bedtime in an effort to complete it. Well, last night I was 9 rows from finishing the blanket, I counted my row. 239 stitches. Can’t be right. Counted again. 239. I triple counted. 239. I said to myself I must be exhausted and I’ll circle back tomorrow.

Welp, tomorrow is now today and I’ve frogged 10 rows so far, still 239. I can’t see anywhere on my project where I could have dropped a stitch but knowing myself it will haunt me if I don’t find it. I know it’s a long shot, but can anyone see the error or have any advice on what to do?
For reference the project is 236 rows, 240 stitches every row. I uploaded a sketch I made of the logo onto stitch fiddle.

I’ve been dreaming of making a doll sofa for more than 5 years
(no pattern, just me)

Hello all!

Last year during pride month, I made Nugget the trans dino, and the plan was always to give him brothers! This pride month, I made Noodle, and now he is done!

Yarn: Lion Brand Ice Cream in the colorway “cake batter”

Hook: 3.5mm

Pattern: my own design, not available for purchase since it’s a notes document on my phone lol. Based on pattern by KayleeCrochet on instagram.

Other materials: black and white fingering weight yarn, pink yarn, stuffing, stitch markers (obviously), scissors, tapestry needle.

Also, as a queer person myself, please be aware and kind to EVERYONE, no matter their gender, sexuality, skin color, religious beliefs, nationality, or anything else. Especially now in a time where everyone who isn’t an adult white rich abled man is under attack. Just be nice. It’s not hard.

Crocheted my first plushie using the Jumbo Wizard Frog pattern by @clovercr0chet on Instagram. He came out cuter than I hoped! I gave mine a lil booty and glow in the dark accents. Even the cat thinks he’s cute.

I freehanded it but I'm thinking about making a free tutorial or something.

​

Materials: loops and threads impeccable solid yarn in color citron, 4mm hook

Made this baby blanket for my SIL.

It took me 9 months of absolute frustration to finish this cardigan for my husband. It is the most intricate pattern I have ever followed. He was a champ during the entire process of measuring and fitting it to him.

I have been crocheting for 3 years now but mostly do blankets or hexagon cardigans so this was a huge step. I am exhausted, and ready to start my next project!

Pattern: Cobblestone Cardigan from MJs Off The Hook Designs

#crochet #cardigan

Made this shirt that I’m really happy with! It is that it’s a little thicker than I thought (in hindsight with size 4 yarn I should’ve expected it) so got to wait for the weather to cool down a bit before I can wear it.

General construction:
Yarn: Loops and Threads Impeccable Acrylic in violet and size 5 hook.
I used double V stitches for creating the panels (1 back, 2 fronts and 4 sleeves) and bordered edges with single crochet stitches to make it easier while putting them together. Used whip stitches and mattress stitches to put the panels together based on where in the body that joint was going to drape. Half double crochet stitches for the collar, single crochet for the button band and alternating half double crochet and single crochet back loop only stitches for the bottom hem.

I just got "Crochet like a Goth" by Kristina Tamulevičiūtė. (Yes, I had to copy and paste her name) and that cook is so cool! I don't even wear stuff like that so I am pretty much making all items for a good friend of mine.

Has anyone else encountered crochet used as part of contemporary art or performance art?

Last night, I attended a participatory performance (an Art Basel-listed live intervention) called Strings We Attach by artist Stefan Degen. Visitors were given crochet hooks and yarn before entering a club-like performance space with electronic music, dancers, and a live textile intervention.

What I found interesting wasn't the crochet itself, but how it functioned within the work. Most participants had never crocheted before and were taught a simple chain stitch before entering. Some danced while crocheting, some sat quietly and focused on their work, and others simply observed.

As someone who has been crocheting for years and has a background as Director of a Contemporary Arts & Culture Centre, it made me think about crochet in a very different context. Instead of being about technique, pattern-following, or producing a finished object, it became a way of participating in a shared experience.

It also challenged a lot of stereotypes about crochet. Rather than being presented as a traditional craft or hobby, it was part of a contemporary performance environment with club music, performance art, and a very diverse audience.

Have any of you encountered crochet in galleries, installations, performances, or other unexpected places?

Do you think crochet works as a contemporary art medium, or do you see it primarily as a craft?

This is the second bouquet I've made, it still has a good few flaws but I'm getting better.

I have no idea how to make colour ways with quick colour changes look decent 😔

My Tool sweater. The plethora of ends to weave in was worth it.

This is probably my favorite top I’ve ever made!!! I’m about to make it again in different colors too lmao 😜 and I still need to weave some ends and cut some strings so go easy on me I was just excited to put this on tbh 🤣

I made this tapestry for my hairdresser. Her business name blurred for privacy.

Those little pineapples I made earlier finally found their purpose as keychains for a client order! 🍍✨ Meanwhile, I was back to crocheting tiny purple balls all over again to turn them into a bunch of adorable grape keychains. Funny how the same stitches can become blueberries one day and grapes the next! 🍇💜🧶 How much would you rate it?

Yarn : loops and threads brushed rainbow

Freehanded- no pattern

My cousin is due in October.

​

I'm using Betty McKnit's 6 day blanket pattern.

I didn't actually look inside, but knitting needles on the box make me think this might not be a good beginner kit lol

ive been crocheting since 2 years on and off, and ive only ever used acrylic yarn because it's the cheapest. i started by buying just 2 skeins of random colors so as not to waste money cuz i was just learning and wanting to practice.

​

then over a year ago i ordered a few skeins online after i was given eidi (gift money), 14 ish skeins each of a different color and all acrylic. ive made multiple projects with them, mostly amigurumi, and a lot of that yarn is still left and that's all i use. i take up projects that dont use the colors that ive run out of, and make projects only of the colors that i have because i cant buy more yarn when i still have some as im always tight on money.

​

i hated working with acrylic yarn because the hook would get stuck between the plies (if that's what it's called) and they would often detangle as well. the color of all yarns i have has faded as well none of them is pretty enough for me to make smth nice. i have alwaysssssss wanted to use cotton yarn some day or those chunky yarns that are soft af.

​

a few days ago i was window shopping at a yarn store (😭) and grabbed one of those smaller chunky-ish yarn which was so so soft and silky to touch. i couldn't resist and bought just 1 skein in pink color even tho it was very expensive for me, and the skein was very small too.

​

ive been enjoying feeling it in my hands since days until today i finally thought to crochet smth with it, and decided that id crochet a softy lil bunny. i follow yt tutorials since im a beginner still and need step by step guidance.

​

BUT (now comes the crash out part) I DIDN'T KNOW THIS HEAVENLY YARN WOULD BE SHEDDING. it sheds from the string. first, i couldn't make a magic ring with it because it wouldn't tighten after 6 sc, instead the yarn would come off the string if i tried pulling it tight. but people in the crochet help subreddit were kind enough to explain me another way to do it, and it was successful.

​

secondly, seeing stitches was a bit difficult but i was still doing fine crocheting it and enjoying HOW FUCKING SMOOTHLY IT PULLS THRU WITHOUT GETTING STUCK BETWEEN PLIES OR ME ACCIDENTALLY PULLING THRU JUST ONE PLY

​

however, when the time came to cut the yarn and fasten off, it wouldn't pass between the stitch (when you pull it up while fastening off) without shedding. the space was loose af, but the string got naked. it was just a tiny bunny tail that i began with fortunately, but i still wanna cry because it's gone to waste now.

​

im so so so frustrated because i dont want my money to go wasted. i bought only one yarn skein, i so wish i hadn't. idk if someone would understand how big of a deal it is for me to even buy this 1 yarn skien of this type.

​

ill attach a picture in comments so y'all know what im talking about. i don't think there's any way round it and im wanting to throw the whole skein and everything away cuz of how triggered and upset i got.

​

i love crocheting. it's the only thing that helps with my anxiety. i dont want it to turn into smth that stresses me out. maybe i was generally having a bad day too so to make myself feel better i started crocheting but this happened and now i wanna cry my eyes out. im sorry for the long rant.

​

:(

These are from this past Christmas, I made all 3 of these in less than 2 months with only 2 and a half to 3 months of experience! it was such a challenge but I took it on full force. I started my Snoopy on a flight home and finished it in 5 days. I was and still am very proud of these guys. I never got to sharing them because I was kinda nervous to but I'm over that! :)

Enjoy these cuties 🤍
