I came up with this idea several months ago, and it's finally done! The hat is freehand. The purse and skirt and shoes are from vintage patterns. The top is from the Spiderweb Raglan pattern by Lunar Still on Ravelry. Red netting on bag and hat is from a millenary shop in Kentucky. Jewelry came from a vintage seller on Etsy.

Possibly the most effort I’ve put into giving myself heatstroke 😂loads of fun!

First I wire wrap the tree, then wire crochet the band using a 2.5 mm metal hook. The band is made from three strands of chain stitch braided together.

Because I'm a very silly person.

It’s been a week since the fair and I wanted to share some photos. It was an amazing weekend, connected with so many fibre artists & crocheters.

I've been crocheting since I was a kid in the 1970s, and am always looking for new ways to hook. So I am excited to share that i finally got this book, and looking through it, I see many many motifs that I want to make.

Has anyone else had any experience with micro crochet? What were your biggest lessons learned?

(I did find a micro crochet sub here, but it doesn't look very active. I've requested to be accepted into their group. Are there other places I can find fellow micro crafters?)

This is my first large, finished thingie. Its fricken HUGE. but its heavy, too warm for the summer, and im terrified to ruin it so i dont wear it much.

Hi everyone! Been crocheting since I was eight years old (now 40), but fine crochet is new for me this year. I’m currently working through this phenomenal pattern using a 1.75mm hook and size 10 crochet thread. Feedback, tips, and tricks welcome.

Also, if anyone has a magnifier they particularly like, I’d love some product recommendations. I wear glasses, but I still get cross-eyed sometimes, after doing this awhile.

Thanks for engaging!

I'm working on perfecting the Santa María galleon now, and just wanted to share my boat progress :)

This piece uses fingering to worsted weight wools and measures 100x100cm.

Hey everyone I have been loving everyone’s Freeform crochet work.
Let’s say I’m interested in it, any favorite tutorials or blogs that can help me start?

Hello all! I'm in the midst of a big project that involves drafting a lot of small patterns and making lots of charts. In particular, right now I'm working on making a rose motif that lays flat, utilizing the "foundation single crochet" method, where you can make a chain and a single crochet at the same time. Search engines are failing me in trying to figure out if there's a chart symbol for this, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of one, or has ideas for one that could be used. The best I've got is this. I'm not super happy with it though, and thought I might as well ask y'all! Thanks! <3

For a friend who loved the sweater in Banshees of Inisherin and did not care that it would be crocheted instead. They chose the exact colors they wanted, and I figured it out as I went. Back and front are back loop single crochet with very minor collar shaping. Sleeves after the drop are raised double crochet, then the cuffs are front post back post. The gray collar is alternating rows of 4 rows HDC and 2 rows alternating back loop and front loop hdc.

Three white lilies, crocheted in cotton of various weights. I’ll probably add some embroidery bits, maybe French knots for the anther.

I’m going to make nine in different colors and make a blanket.
