But people loved it at my market today! One of the greatest compliments I received on insta was from women appreciating that I allow the silhouette to naturally fit the body instead of forcing the boobs to be pushed up to my chin which is typical in some fashion pieces. It was refreshing to have that noticed and appreciated. Its interesting bc it garnered alot of unsavory comments on here about said part of the body lol! So interesting how different sides of the internet house different people with different mindset and openness. I love to experiment this way both with fashion and udnerstand other humans. What do you think of my avant garde blueberry pie inspired dress?

Can someone please help me figure out the stitching on this crochet dress
I don’t think it’s double crochet cause that would be too thick

… it was. I crocheted it explicitly to wear on my trip to the Oregon coast in 2024. Cannon Beach is beautiful btw 🤭

It was my second attempt at a sweater. It probably could have done with a bit more length and a smaller collar, but it’s so darn cute and cozy!!!

I turned a crocheted maple leaf into a cute fall hair clip

Papel picados are perfect!

I’d like to thank everyone for the feedback! Within the short time after a bit of stalling by watching tv I was able to make my first chain! It’s a bit wonky I think, but I think that’s because I’m currently trying to figure out how to keep the yarn taught enough while holding the working yarn and tail end of the yarn. Essentially I took the advice, and made sure the hook end of my crochet hook pointed down and not to me when I pulled it through the loop, as well as experimented with different grips and found one where I was more comfortable being able to hold the tail end of the yarn without reflexively letting go of the tail end when it was time to pull it through the starting loop (still can’t remember the proper terminology)

Hello everyone, I’m a beginner crocheting and I’m learning! I started trying to practice yesterday, then decided to sleep after failing to practice a chain too many times. I started again today, and every time I try to do a yarn over I can’t pull it through my starting loop (I can’t remember the proper terminology now, sorry 😅). I’ve gotten a bit better at being able to catch the yarn on my hook with angling my hook down after doing yarn over. But now the issue is the starting loop keeps flipping which untwists my yarn over when I try to pull it through. I’m not 100% sure how to deal with it or what I’m doing with my fingers. My grip on the hook I’ve trained would be the fork hold, and the butter knife hold. As for the yarn I loop it around my pinkie and under my ring and middle finger to pinch the project. I honestly just don’t know what I’m doing wrong tho or what I should try to adjust. Maybe I just have to keep practicing because it’s a dexterity issue because I always reflexively let go as well. I’d love some tips!

Hi all! I found this gorgeous cardigan at TJ Maxx the other day but it was... $69.99 😩 so I thought, I should make it! But I'm thinking about what type of yarn to use. I'm pretty sure the original is cashmere, but I'm trying to make this cardigan as affordable as possible. I didn't check what the OG was made of, but it was incredibly soft.

Would love suggestions of types of yarn, possibly even the size of yarn or yarn recommendations.

Thank you so much!

Note: I know the outcome of a knitted cardigan will be different from a crocheted cardigan. I don't mind :)

hi! i made this little keychain for my friend, but it's the wrong color, and wrong button, and a little crooked because i'm still not that good at freehanding... i just wanted to see if you can tell what it is anyway

thanks in advance, and sorry if i there was a mistake in the text, english isn't my first language

The hair is still a work in progress, but I will find out and figure out how to make it look like Pennywise hair.
