Crochet

A few months ago I was wondering what to get my girlfriend for her birthday. Her favourite animal is the guinea fowl, so when I saw a pattern for one, I decided I will learn to crochet and make her a guinea fowl plushie.

Well, after a lot of youtube tutorials, a few small and one medium-sized project, last week I decided it's time and started working on the bird.

Took me a few days of on and off crocheting, but I just finished and OMG, I love it!

It's certainly not perfect, the seams around the neck are absolutely tragic, but overall, I'm very happy with how it turned out.

This is my most ambitious project to date, the Faith CAL by Helen Shrimpton (with a few modifications).

What big or small blankets are you working on?

I am a complete beginner and I can tell that this is anything but a beginner pattern. Obviously this shouldn’t be the first project I attempt. However, could some of you maybe give me an idea of how ridiculous it would be to try this as one of my first 5 or so projects for example? How much experience would I need to work myself up to this? It looks so complicated.

100% bullshitted, but 200% adorable

Thought we could use a community for folks who craft handmade goods.

Hopefully we can get more artisans to join up, and folks who would like to purchase from & support independent artists & craftspeople from all around the world!

Could y'all spread the word to other crafty communities, as well?

This came up in the rotation on the tv and it amused me. I tried asking it for a pattern but it was unresponsive 😂

Not OP, found on Loops

It’s almost 6’ long! For an under 5’ woman. Thank you for the help in my first post last week! 🥰

I’m a knitter attempting crochet. Somehow I am skipping squares. 🤨. What am I doing wrong? I ripped out about a foot but damn. 😭

Just finished this little dino guy. It's my first time making an amigurumi and I underestimated the amount of sewing involved.

I found this really cool yarn in a random Tedi Store, but they only had 2 skeins in stock. I tried checking back in that same store for a month, but it never was restockend. Tiny sweater it is then!

I put gall fruit flakes and catnip in it. Zombii loves it!

The pattern was by zxke_crochets on Instagram

This was made using the book "Pokemon Haken" by Sabrina Somers.

There's a rubber coated wire in the tail to allow for bending it any way you'd like. The eye and nose are felt pieces I painfully stitched on (pricked my finger 3 times).

Hope my nephew likes it! We're off to his birthday party.

I'm still going to do Little Bitty's costume photo shoot. Just a day late 😭
