RAGEBAIT TITLE IS RAGEBAIT but also, sadly, the truth. They’ve been on my ass over there every single time I post because all my FO’s are og patterns, and if I so much as sneeze the suggestion I sell the pattern (yknow, to the literal dozens of people in the comments asking for the pattern…) they nuke my posts.

The egregious wretched offense that broke their back with this dress? 1 person out of 70+ others in the comments asked if I was [my instagram handle] and I said yes because I don’t want people thinking I steal my own photos.

Within minutes, boom! Banned for self promo 🥰

In any case, glad I got reminded of this sub. I know I’m a month late for pride, so I included the purple version as well 💅

Everything is my own design except the purple parasol which is Jenny Amos’s Starflower Parasol. The hardware is discontinued from Umbrella Joan. The yarn is Hobbii Sultan and the shoes are Demonias✨

A friend of mine thought for the tiniest moment that I had made a shrimp when I made my dragon hair tie (last slide). So he asked if I would be able to make a shrimp one, apparently I am. I completely freehanded this little guy without any instructions. I’m so proud of him, he’s so silly and I love him 🦐✨

I seem to have an obsession with making sweaters...

I made this cute guy as a gift! I used this pattern; https://www.etsy.com/listing/1067221504/crochet-pattern-stormy-the-little I changed the vest and freehanded the trash can.

A year ago I learned tapestry crochet and made my first tapestry of my cat. One year later, I’ve made this new one and I’m so proud of how much I’ve improved :)

He sent me a very basic screenshot he found on the internet... I said I could do better... What do we think?

My first ever reversible mosaic piece. And it’s HUGE! A queen size. Whew. My daughter is going to love it. 🥰

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/trump-is-a-fascist-square?fbclid=IwY2xjawK2kOZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHhVYuu3qBmTVWFSCJ2EcLfX5nSURKn8olljdR5lv6Jbxl6HhltBjnh8W6KIK_aem_YZa1rLfikijsazwt7wpnuw

Had design paralysis for ages. Now I have a broken leg and lost my entire summer so I’m stuck inside with little else to do but chew on this, so I’ve been steadily chipping away at dozens and dozens of eyes. I want to make it as large as possible, but as you can see by the third pic the repeats start to separate, so I might have to get either very creative with layering or the Irish lace technique. Or chainmaille… bc this will have a lot of maille embellishments by the end, as well.

The pattern for the feather motif is my Peacocking Feather, otherwise everything is freehanded 🤠 yarn shall not be named bc the company went to the AI dogs and I don’t want to give them any business 🫡

So of course, I made Bluey his own Bluey!

I’m a dumb dumb, full of hubris. Let me spin you my yarn, if you will.

A year ago I said “I want to get back into crochet. I learned it (self taught) when I was a teenager, I don’t need to look at any tutorials”. I got obsessed with CrochetByJessi’s patterns, and off I went!

A year later after working tirelessly on my beloved, messy sweater, I finally got to the finishing steps on the sleeves. “Half double crochet?” I said. “I don’t know that stitch”. I looked up a tutorial, and did the sleeve.

And then I sat there. And realized. That if that was half double crochet, and I’d been doing double crochet for the mosaic stitches, then WTF is single crochet???

And then it hit me. I did SLIP STITCH for EVERY SINGLE TIME THE PATTEN CALLED FOR SINGLE CROCHET.

Lessons have been learned, 10,000 ends have been woven, and a laughs have been shared. Enjoy my mistake, which is a very dense, yet still comfy wearable.
