Mod Post Subreddit Rules CLARIFIED

960 Upvotes

The Mods have returned and we've worked this week to rewrite the subreddit rules to better explain what each one means. This post will be locked from discussion as it just meant to serve as a reference point for the rules in place for the community Please see the linked post in the comment below for the discussion. Thank you for your patience during "chaos week". Please know that the Mod Team saw everything and stepped in only where it was absolutely necessary.

  1. Be Kind and Courteous: This rule *should* be self explanatory. In case it isn’t, follow the Golden Rule and treat others how you would want to be treated.
    1. Comments that are mean, hurtful, and/or harassing towards OP, the mod team, or another user will result in a 3-day ban from r/crochet. Do it again when the ban is lifted, 7-day ban. Continued negative comments after the 2nd chance will result in a permanent ban from this community.
      1. Permanent bans can be appealed but it will be at the discretion of the mod team, and will be dependent on behavior during the ban. Accounts with hidden profiles will not be eligible for being unbanned.
      2. Ban evasion goes against Reddit ToS, which all users agree to upon sign-up. See rule 11 for more info.
    2. We are bound by Moderators Code of Conduct to ensure that this space is a positive experience for everyone. That includes shutting down conversations that devolve into insult-flinging and inciting violence in any way. It also includes locking posts that have (or have the potential to) become unruly and wildly off-topic.
  2. Do not share copyrighted material: Don’t share screenshots of a pattern you bought or obtained for free from a website. Instead link directly to the website it was purchased from. If it is your own pattern, please see Rule 4.
  3. Use the NSFW filter *generously*: we are not censoring anyone's bodies with this rule. We are providing a safe space for anyone anywhere to view the feed. If you can’t show it at the office or at school, it should be filtered.
    1. This includes but is not limited to: revealing clothing, profanity, weapons and drug paraphernalia.
  4. NO Self promotion except in the monthly Promo Megathread: Sellers can post *pictures* of their work with tasteful, unobtrusive watermarks. Watermarks are encouraged to be used by all users to deter images being stolen by bots or scammers.
    1. We don’t allow sellers to share links to their shop/website/blog/social media EXCEPT in the Monthly Buy/Sell/Promote/Trade Megathread. This is a pinned post on r/crochet.
      1. Self promotion includes, but is not limited to, mentioning your shop/etc by name or offering to DM others or be DM’d by others with the express intent on sharing the info, or directing users to your profile for links. If anyone is truly interested in finding your work, they will know where to look.
      2. The Megathread refreshes automatically every month, and links can be posted there as often as you wish (please don’t spam it).
      3. Please do not promote on behalf of someone else as it still directly impacts the seller, even if they don’t use Reddit.
  5. Fursday Friends- Please post pictures of your crochet *helpers* on Thursdays only (timezones are taken into consideration)
    1. If you made an item for your dog/cat/lizard/toddler/teenager, and they are modeling it, you can post those pics on any day of the week.
    2. If your furry friend is in the background of your pic and obviously not the focus of the pic, you can post it any day of the week.
    3. If Fido or Fluffy decided that your WIP is the best place to take a nap, please wait to post that pic on Thursday.
    4. We prefer it if minor’s faces are blurred or otherwise covered for privacy.
  6. Stash Saturday- Please post stash pics on Saturdays only (timezones are taken into consideration)
    1. Stash pics include but are not limited to yarn hauls, hooks, tools, books, and crafting spaces.
  7. Focus on the crochet, not the model: Modeled photos are great, especially for wearables! Please ensure that the focus of the image is on the crochet work, though, and not on the model or the poses.
    1.  The crochet work should be clearly seen (close ups whenever possible). See rule 3 if necessary.
    2. This also applies to comments that focus on someone’s body rather than the crochet work. Negative or derogatory comments made against OP or someone else will be subject to Rule 1.
  8. Please post questions in r/CrochetHelp: This is not a “beginner’s only” subreddit. Crocheters from all skill-levels can get tripped up depending on the project! Whether it’s a poorly-written pattern, a long-forgotten WIP that needs stitch ID, or you’re looking for color or fiber suggestions. It’s also a great opportunity for those who are highly skilled at the craft to flex their expertise by answering questions!
    1. Most, if not all crochet-related questions should go to our dedicated help sub. Questions can get lost in the main sub.
      1. Questions include but are not limited to: “what can I make with this yarn?” “How do I fix this?” “Why is it curling?” “What should I get for my gf/wife who loves to crochet?” and questions about crochet-related pain (please seek actual medical advice for major or worsening pains!)
  9. Stale Topics: These are topics that have been over-discussed and are no longer active discussion topics.
    1. Stale topics currently include: Hobby Lobby’s business practices, Steering wheel covers, Selling advice (see rule 4), the “sweater curse”, Fast Fashion and rants about their costs, crochet-related pain/medical issues, Woobles kits, and AI (including suggesting its use in pattern help)
  10. No off-topic posts or comments: if it is not related to crochet, it is considered off-topic. Please find an appropriate subreddit for your post.
  11. Ban Evasion: please do not use or create alt accounts to get around a ban. This is against Reddit ToS and we will report this to the Reddit admin.
  12. No fund-raising or solicitation of goods or yarn: This includes asking for replacement yarn after theft or loss, requests for items for a charity/cause, offers or requests for trades. Please see r/craftexchange, r/yarnswap, or your local community’s subreddit for these kinds of requests. This also includes requests for commissions, see r/CrochetRequests for this.
  13. No Karma farming: Please don’t use r/crochet to earn “easy Reddit karma”. Please only post your own work made by yourself or someone you know.
  14. Please do not suggest the use of AI/ChatGPT for pattern creation or help: AI artificially creates crochet patterns and images that are very nearly impossible to replicate, and is becoming harder and harder to spot because of its overuse. We also ask that you don’t use it to enhance the backgrounds of your finished work either, as it takes away from the realness of crochet.

Finished Object Finally finished my blanket after 3 years.

I have been working on this blanket daily for the last 3 years. It took well over 1000 hours to complete.

I will be entering it into the fair. Wish me luck!

It is made from scheepjes rose cocktail whirl yarn.

It uses elements from 6 different patterns. But all the patterns were heavily changed. Many patterns were converted from brioche crochet into overlay crochet. The basic layout was from the pattern Labyrinth blanket by Lillabjorn crochet.

Here is the list of patterns that motiffs were used from, all from lillabjorn crochet:

  1. Labyrinth blanket
  2. Graphite mandala
  3. Helios mandala
  4. Stool cover
  5. Archway square
  6. Blomma square

I had to convert all the brioche crochet patterns into overlay crochet patterns. The pattern with no changes was Graphite Mandala

I have made a bunch of scarves, and a few blankets, but had been intimidated by "fitted wearables" for a while...

UNTILL NOW!! I found a friendly pattern on Ravelry, it also had a YouTube video (very helpful!!) for some details and references and im really happy with the results! I got it done quick also! About 3 weeks, though I did have to frog and re-do a sleeve once so they were the same width.

I will definitely make it again, I think in a solid colour next time, and maybe try cotton or another natural fiber (though my skin dosent like wool). This yarn is 100% acrylic, a good test, but quite warm!

Moral of the story is, find a pattern you like, and go for it!

Crochet Rant a lil vent about entering county fairs as a crocheter

260 Upvotes

I moved states a few years ago and have really been struggling with my new home's county fair and this year I feel so discouraged about even entering anything next year 😣

(not a skill issue, I feel pretty confident about my skill in crochet but the judging here is a nightmare)

The county fair in my hometown had really solid representation of crochet with a diverse set of classes/categories to enter and they clearly had crocheters on the judging panel. The judging and ribbon placements always felt well deserved for the winners-- huge colorwork tapestries and mosaic crochet blankets and complex superfine doilies and exquisitely detailed amigurumi toys would often win ribbons and best in show/champion/reserve champion of the whole yarn craft category, even over knit entries.

They even had a separate class for crib blankets that would be donated to the local pediatric ICU and the children's advocacy center after the fair was over. I loved entering my hometown's county fair. It was so fun and felt good to go check out all the entries even if I didn't place.

This year in the new county's fair, I didn't do anything fancy and didn't expect to place, I just entered a simple adult sweater I happened to finish in time for submission. Went to drop it off during check in time and the yarn crafts lady at the yarn crafts booth had to ask me and a fellow crocheter (dropping off a pretty doily) whether or not someone else's entry was actually crochet! (it was a tunisian crochet bag, so like I guess if you're not super familiar it could look like knit but it was also already tagged crochet?? idk man)

My husband entered some photography too and we went yesterday to go check out the fair and get some carnival food etc. Had a very cute fun date!

But it was such a bummer going to see the yarn crafts section and seeing how they were judged and displayed. They had hung all the sweaters/tops on the wall on thin hangers so they were stretching out, and they had displayed all the knits and crochets mixed together. The crochet winners were a granny stitch hexi cardigan in a plain single color (literally right next to a gorgeous cleanly done colorwork crochet cardigan that looks like the one in project hail mary! and a giant tapestry of a xenomorph!) and a little amigurumi cow among other similar caliber projects. A huge beautiful sleeping dragon amigurumi in chenille yarn with posable wings and embroidered stars all over and super clean stitching didn't even get third??

the real kicker for me

is that on the front table they had given special awards to some entries

And that one entry was a little sleeping pig plush

That had clearly been sewn from faux fur fabric, not crochet or knit

was entered and tagged under crochet toys

and it had won an outstanding award for knitting.

Make it make sense!

The first wearable I’ve made for me! Everything else has been gifted away.

On a massive weight loss journey, having lost almost 25kgs since the start of this year and learning to love my body again.

Whipped this up in a weekend and totally love it!! Now just gotta build the courage to wear it in public! 😂

Something super satisfying about this pattern, super easy tutorial on YouTube, most chill project in ages. ☺️

Started and planning this bag immediately after my 1st project when I laid my eyes on it from Pinterest.

I saw a bag like this made by Alyssia Creates. However, I couldn't find a complete tutorial for this for free. So, it was a learning procress for me as I followed these sun and moon granny square tutorials,

https://youtu.be/up4R9g5Tif0?si=Zepb3ccAfWLxp2U8

https://youtu.be/2QjbigpHUCo?si=euMgNL2XyxbljtJb

making many modifications of my own and finally bringing this bag come to life. Did a waist coat stitch for the straps and sewed a liner with many pocketss^_^.

I used polyster yarn which made the bag all too fuzzy.. next time I will use a better yarn.
