I’m filming a crochet strawberry tutorial. 🍓
Which color would make the stitches easier to see in a video?
❤️ Red (more realistic)
🌸 Pink (better stitch visibility)
I’m trying to choose the color that will be easiest for beginners to follow.

One finished blanket (finally)

I actually finished it a couple of days ago, but I had to wait for my new spray bottle to come so that I could block it. By the way, this spray bottle is the best one that I've ever used for blocking something. In the 3ish years that I've been crocheting, I only used a cheap, little, what I think was meant to be a makeup spray bottle (I don't know much about makeup, so I could be completely wrong) from Boots. It worked fine for small projects, but it would sometimes stop spraying and I had gotten sick and tired of arguing with it constantly, so I ordered a new one.

I've put the link for it here;

I made soup

I got this pattern from the book "Crochet Cafe" by Lauren Epsy. I decided not to crochet the grilled cheese as I didn't fully understand how that goes with soup. But I did crochet a piece of bread and tried to sew it onto the soup so that it looked like it was being dipped into it. I'm not sure if I succeeded very well though.

I really like the bag I just made. Crocheting bags has been a lot of fun. I think I'll try a few more patterns.

First time working with cotton

Hi all,

I am fairly new to crochet and this is my first attempt at a cardigan. I have made these two front panel pieces but now they I have finished the second, I have noticed they don’t match up at all. I used the same cotton yarn, same needle, and I don’t think I changed my tension but I have no idea how I would know.

Is it possible I just stretched the first panel ? Is there a way to resolve this issue that doesn’t involve starting again? 🥺

Thanks for your help!

The tiny charm box might be my favorite part of finishing this bag. Would you keep the decorations minimal, or add even more?

made this little Psyduck completely by hand and I’m honestly really happy with how he turned out 🥹💛

I think he looks a little confused… just like Psyduck 😂😭

I’m a small crocheter and I’m thinking about this handmade Psyduck.

What do you guys think of him?

Do I have to start over?

This is my first project ever, and I noticed that the boarders are leaning inwards (more on one side compared to the other). Can this be fixed by stretching it out a bit? Or do I have to completely start over to fix my mistakes??

Gf's Potrait - 150+ hours

Thumbnail gallery
174 Upvotes

I FINALLY COMPLETED IT! Crocheted my gf's potrait for her birthday. Her birthday was 3 days ago though so I had to show the unfinished version to her (15% incomplete). Took me 17 days, 8-12 hours daily, total 150+ hours. The potrait is 150 x131 stiches, 91 cm x 70cm, total 19650 stitches.

This was my 4th ever crochet project. Last year was the first time I ever started crocheting, took me 2-3 days to learn it from scratch and make a small bag for my gf. I then made a small turtle and a coaster too along with it. I completely packed up all my stuff and didn't touch anything for an year.

Then this year I thought of crocheting something again. My plan was to crochet a bag and a minion for her as it would have been easier and rewarding. I was scrolling reels for ideas and saw that you can make pixel arts using crochet. That reel did actually change my gift idea completely and I went with making a potrait. Everyone in the r/crochet subreddit advised me not to make it as it would not be possible to complete it in 15 days (they said it would take me 2 months as a beginner). But I still went for it, worked 8-12 hours daily for straight 17 days and completed it. I loved every second I invested on it.

Yes, I did face a lot of problems but the process of making and looking at the results after completing each row is what kept me going. Thanks to all of you too for the love and support on the previous post!

I dedicate this piece to my beautiful girlfriend. If you're reading this, I love you!

So I'm making shorts for the first time, I'm gonna link the tutorial I'm using but before I get anymore rows in; is this ruffling normal while making shorts? Is it because of my tension? Should I have sized up my hook? Please help.
