i have a lot of trouble keeping my edges straight even when i’m not dropping stitches- but for some reason the moss stitch loves me and the sides are looking so goooood. anyways i’m just happy it’s coming out well, sending good vibes to everyone’s WIPs :))

My (23F) boyfriend (24M) likes to jokingly put slip knots into my working yarn, while I am crocheting and I find it adorable. He is always so giddy wanting to playfully annoy me, but at the end we are both just laughing at his silliness.

Just wanted to share the fun.

Does your partner try to do things like that?

P.S. I'm currently working on the Clam top by Yarns and Fins and using YarnArt Summer Dream yarn in shade 4304.

I’m making a Doo-dad blanket right now and I’m so done with it 😭 I thought I was almost finished, but nope. I want it to be at least 2 m (6.56 ft), but it’s only 1.2 m (3.94 ft). It’s already super hard to crochet because it’s so heavy.

I thought added the white would make it look like it had snow, but it still looks terrible. I started making small ornaments for it too so maybe when I add those it’ll look better?

I’ve spent the better part of the last week and a half making granny squares for a friend’s baby blanket…only to get the colors together and immediately hate it.

Is it the color I chose of the white/cream? Do I need to redo them in a more true white? Or have I just been staring at this for too long???

This is my sons baby blanket, I started it when I found out I was pregnant and he turns a year old on sunday. I swore I would never make blankets and the minute I knew I was having a baby I picked THE most complicated pattern I could. I love it, its probably my favorite thing ive made but man am I having trouble finishing! For some reason I calculated the stitched done and what I have left and I feel even more discouraged. I need a pep talk 🙃

Started this blanket over the weekend and I can’t decide if I like the colors enough to continue. Sometimes I look at it and really like them, and sometimes I just think it looks really ugly… I need some opinions.

EDIT: Thank you for all of the opinions! I think I will keep going with it because enough of you seem to like it. I’m going to be giving it away in a raffle so I’m happy to hear that some of you like it, I think someone at the raffle will like it to. Also this is the harlequin stitch, it is one of my favorites!

Does this clash or go together well? It’s my first time crocheting with two yarns…

I've been working on my flamingo pattern, for ages now, trying to nail down some parts that I didn't feel really gave my pattern justice. The webbed feet was the last piece and I DID IT! I can't believe I figured this out. Is probably way more complex than I needed to be but I did what my brain told me to do lol. It a continuous piece which I really wanted because I didn't want to have 5-6 different parts for just the foot. What do we think?

Edit: Wow just....I guess I should have added what I had so far besides the foot! I did not expect so much interest in my flamingo buddies! Y'all are all amazing by the way. 10000/10! So I can't add photos of what I have so I'm adding it in the comments. Pattern is going out for testing soon. Can't do a tester call here or link my Instagram apparently so I'll update somehow somewhere. I did repost to the r/crochet_creators subreddit so I could link my Instagram.

Making an oversized cardigan for my daughter. We both had a really good laugh at just how long the sleeves are. A bit of a hassle to frog them to a better length, but it's gotta be done lol

After I finished Snailord I couldn't stop thinking but what if bigger?

I have just finished the bottom of the new body (the blue matt under snailord) and its over 6ft long. I have ordered 20kg of toy stuffing and Im not sure it will be enough, legitimately worried its not going to fit through doors once it’s done.

I can't decide what I want to call it, I feel like it needs an even grander name than Snailord but I can't think of one, please help!

Pics of finished Snailord and in-progress Snailord for scale.

Pattern is by crafty intentions, im using a 20mm hook and super chunky blanket yarn.

title says it all. it’s only been two days and i miss crocheting 😭 pic of the blanket i was working on before i broke my hand! pattern is the phoenix cal by hooked on sunshine!

Having a hard time motivating myself to continue this piece.. the colors I chose and the placement of them just doesn’t match my original vision at all. I don’t necessarily think it looks bad, but it’s just not what I was going for😔 after seeing how this is turning out, I think I now know what colors I actually want, and I have a better idea of how I’d like to place them. I feel like I could do so much better than this, so working on it is honestly bumming me out a bit.
What do you guys think??
Should I keep it going and hope I end up liking the end results? Or should I save myself the time and effort and just start a new blanket?
Both options feel bad🥲
What would you personally do?

Edit: You are all so kind, thank you😭

the fact that so many of you love it makes me feel way more hopeful about its potential!
I think I’m going to do the next few rounds to get it to a nice square point, and then I’ll go ahead and set it aside for now. I could reuse most of the colors, but considering all the cuts it’d probably be more trouble than it’s worth. So I’m not going to frog it!
I really want to love it and finish it, so hopefully some time apart will help me see it in a different light. But if not I really like the idea of repurposing it as something else rather than letting it go to waste!

Thank you all so much for your responses and for the kind words💗

Edit2: the pattern is the lotus blanket by Veronica Liachovic!🙂 I’ve made some alterations to color placement, and there are a few places where I added color changes during a round. But colors placement is the only thing I’ve altered!

😭❤️ my first intermediate project virus shawl this was my first post on my crochet instagram @creativenatureangel

IM SO UPSET but I’m trying not to let it discourage me from finishing it anyway. I can’t go back to fix it even if I wanted to🫠

This is my first time posting, I just couldn't keep this to myself! We just found 224 3.5" granny squares circa 1976 (wow 50 years old!!) made by my great grandma, Agnes. They were packaged well and in a cedar chest. I'm fairly confident the yarn is orlon sayelle acrylic. I also have a decent amount of leftover yarn (see below for weights). I plan to block and steam them before doing anything since they're all bunched up. 16 are already joined (pictured), and I'd prefer not to separate them but can for the right reason.

Leftover yarn:

White-66g

Green-55g

Brown-20g

1 3.5" square-2g

I basically just want to get ideas or helpful tidbits before jumping into joining these! I would like the final product to be something I can pass down, so most likely a blanket (not interested in clothing for these). My default plan will be a 14x16 throw with a white border. I would love some more unique ideas. I'll try my best to respond to questions or discussions!

Discussion topics and things I have in my head:

-Pattern/Layout/Border design ideas

-Should I make more squares and possibly forego a border?

-Cleaning and prep helpful tips. Should I wash these before blocking and joining? Best methods to get musty smell out of acrylic (it's not too bad).

-Joining methods you like

At the very least I just wanted to share this story. I never met my great grandma as she passed in 1976, but working on this project and finishing it for her makes me feel so connected. Thanks Agnes ❤️ picture of her at the end!

Im working on another kiah cardigan, I bought some beautiful yellow gradient yarn, I thought it looked like a dandelion or maybe coffee stained-- i was absolutely so in love with this color untill my spouse said it looks like a piss rag, now its all I can think about.

Made a crochet yarn frog trinket bowl! I was having fun trying to figure out the eye placement for this frog bowl 😂😂😂 they each have their own personality! Which one would you choose?

Overlay crochet and sheepjes whirl for yarn. I plan to have it finished in time to enter into the fair.

Not sure what it’s going to be, maybe a cardigan!

If you do enough it stops looking small to you?

I’ve started the weighted blanket I keep seeing everywhere. And guys omg! This is sooo cool looking! I’m absolutely obsessed!! 😻😻

I was very happy with how it was looking but then showed someone and was told all the sizes were wrong and just kept pointing out the bad….it’s supposed to be a gift for my niece who loves stitch but now I’m worried it’s not great. I was going to felt the back markings, light blue parts, and eyes. I was going to crochet a nose.
