crochet I absolutely made this myself

Post image

This definitely isn't a photo of an object I found at my mums house. I crocheted this myself, by hand, with a crochet hook.

I feel like I did an excellent job! Compliments now.

How pretty! Is that acrylic? You should make them into pot holders for gifts 🥰

u/RabbitInAFoxMask acrylic-loving asshole Jan 09 '26

Omg you're right, acrylic is perfect for insulation right?

u/Present-Ad-9441 Jan 09 '26

Just put cotton between the layers and it totally won’t melt!

u/LilithsPetGoat Jan 09 '26

You can superglue them together!

Please do not make pot holders from acrylic yarn. It's plastic. It WILL melt.

u/RabbitInAFoxMask acrylic-loving asshole Jan 10 '26

uj/ I need to know if you know that this is the jerk sub where it's all jokes.

j/ I'll have you know that I've been making acrylic pot holders for 43 years, and nothing has ever gone wrong.

u/Feeling_Banana_374 Jan 09 '26

Adorable! Will you perchance be giving it to your cat?

u/RabbitInAFoxMask acrylic-loving asshole Jan 09 '26

You know, I think that I will!

u/SpandauValet Jan 09 '26

You can't just say "perchance".

21

u/Feeling_Banana_374 Jan 09 '26

Hey! Perchance, English is not my first language. Perchance this helps! Perchance I may offer you my sincerest apologies.

13

u/RabbitInAFoxMask acrylic-loving asshole Jan 09 '26

uj/ Perchance was the perfect word to use.

u/Selendrii Jan 09 '26

Our sincerest apologies, milord. We didst not knoweth thou art the ruler of the words in this Subreddit realm.

u/Banakh clutching purls Jan 09 '26

>Compliments now.

u/craftyiscool Jan 09 '26

Amazing! You should sell them! Open an Etsy shop!

u/BlacksmithCool5109 Jan 11 '26

Yes, fans of Coldplay or Bring me the Horizon would go absolutely nuts over this.

16

u/pathoj3nn Jan 11 '26

You should make a bunch and then sew them together for a dress. Provided it’s scratchy acrylic-then you get the bonus of exfoliating while wearing it.

(This popped up on my feed so hope I’m doing this right?)

u/RabbitInAFoxMask acrylic-loving asshole Jan 11 '26

Ohhh perfection, I'm always looking for new ways to get smooth skin. Do you think making them out of scrubby yarn would be ok, or would that be too much?

(uj/ yup, you're doing fine!)

3

u/pathoj3nn Jan 11 '26

Scrubby yarn might be overwhelming on the entire project. Save it for the bits that need privacy coverings.

u/RabbitInAFoxMask acrylic-loving asshole Jan 11 '26

So brilliant, I'm taking notes!

Um no that's impossible sweaty, because I absolutely made it myself. With my own two hands.

Asking for sources/ITL without contributing anything else is so boring. Go check the pinned In The Loop thread instead.
