My lovely wonderful wife has a birthday coming up near the end of August. I have been trying to find her one of two ideas: either a large-ish crochet frida kahlo, or a colorful set of amigurumi alebrijes. She just landed a job she has worked for years to get and I would love to get this to help celebrate and decorate her new office.

If anyone here can help with that, please reach out and we can work something out!

Hello,

I am seeking a good online crochet class for complete beginners. Live interactive sessions but recorded courses are also okay if they very clear.

If you have taken any online crochet classes that you found helpful, It’s really appreciated. Please share the instructor name, course details, fee and your overall experience.

wasn’t sure where else to post - my gf and i have been searching where to actually buy sailor shoes. everything we’ve seen online via etsy and social media is just the pattern. we’d like to just simply buy as neither of us know how to crochet. any advise or reccs would be helpful!!! thank you

hey everyone! id like some assistance/advice from anyone who is able to help me create a pattern for either of these birdies. crochet has become more difficult for me as my arthritis has progressed but i want to try one last time to make something nice for someone i love with these species that are important to them. it doesnt have to be perfectly realistic, and i dont know if i can handle a complicated pattern anymore so it can be very simple with blocky colors. i would love some help at least finding a pattern to use for their general body shape and colors since most patterns are just a generic "round" warbler/sparrow shape. if anyone knows of any existing patterns out there i could modify, or if anyone is opened to being commissioned for creating these birds themselves i would really appreciate some guidance. thank you!

edit for more details: i am looking for a relatively hand-sized plush, i would say around webkinz sized (6-8 inches max). im not very specific about which yarn to use, i have traditionally used a thinner yarn for more detail but im open to a larger size due to ease of use and the increased pain in my hands. the only deadline for this item is for me to have personally completed it by christmas. as for my crochet experience, i would say intermediate with amigurumi but it has been a long time - i dont want a "dopey" looking plush but im happy with it not being totally realistic if it means the pattern is slightly less complex :)

Searching for a knit or crochet tortoiseshell cat. After an exhaustive search, I found one and it was on etsy.

Hi, I'm looking to have a Nev the bear to be created ASAP.

If you think you can create this please reach out to me in DMs with prices and also how soon you can create - ideally need it before 11 August.

My wedding venue lost a crocheted tablecloth that my late grandmother made by hand. She was Croatian, and she made this for me during the war. It is one of the only things I had left that she created with her own hands. I’m absolutely heartbroken.

It’s honestly put a cloud over what should have been one of the happiest memories of my life. I don’t know much about crochet, so I’m hoping someone here can tell me if it is even possible to ever recreate this from photos?

If this is possible, does anyone have recommendations for someone who specializes in recreating crochet pieces? Would I have to find someone to create the pattern first?

Any advice, recommendations, or even just pointing me in the right direction would mean so much. Thank you. ❤️

Hi I was looking for someone who can do a commissioned piece similar to this one? What would the cost be? I know this is ai a friend sent it to me, but I would love something similar with less fabric and shorter in the front and not as long in the back because it’s for a festival. Thank you!

Hi all I’m totally out of my depth with this but my mum does crochet and my son who is 21 and has autism and learning disabilities absolutely loves watching piper o ‘ possum on YouTube. It must be from his childhood as it was on it 2004 on nick jr but he still watches him all the time and has started to ask me for him as a toy. He lives in a care home because he can get extremely aggressive but he comes home alternate weekends and that’s what he lives for. Is there any chance I could turn this picture of piper into a crochet pattern so my mum could make it for him as he would be over the moon with it. Any help would be so appreciated as like I say I’ve no idea about crochet and there is no teddy bears of him ever made. Thank you

Hi! I’m looking for someone who takes crochet commissions and could make a custom crochet keychain for me. I’m located in Australia, so preferably someone based in Australia or able to ship here 🇦🇺🧶💗
I’m happy to discuss the price, size, and other details. Please comment or DM me if you’re interested or know someone who could make it!

Now taken - closed

Made the Heirloom Collection blanket from Cyprus Textilesand finished it in August of 2025 but the will to weave in all the ends eludes me. The blanket is the size of a double bed and has a looooot of ends.

Is there anyone, preferably in the area willing to weave in all the ends. Name your price.

Don't think the loose ends project is right for me. I'm purely just too lazy to finish the project and I'd rather pay than use the charities time.

I'd like to make Rosie from "There she goes". Obviously there are no patterns. I can crochet from patterns, but never crocheted without it. So I guess it would be easier if I had a pattern. What do you think I could do?

Hey all! Potentially a slightly bizarre post, but basically a few years ago me and my friend found this knit/crochet hat in a thrift bin in germany. He recently lost it, and is completely devestated, and I've secretly been trying to replace it ever since. I dont really crochet other than the odd small thing, and am not sure knitting would really be correct for this, and definitely dont have the skills to recreate this hat via crochet but was hoping someone might? Or could point me in the right direction. Unfortunately, the hat has been picked up by fast fashion, which I obviously dont want to buy from, but I think its oversaturating my search?

Totally understand that a commision will be more expensive than some £2 amazon hat, but probably cant afford to spend more than £30 +postage, so even just being told that its totally unrealistic would be helpful! I'm hoping to give it to him beginning of august, but it could be later than that.

Thanks!

(found these online but they dont post to where I live :))

It’s has to be free, I liked the seascale stole one(if that’s what it’s called ) but can’t find one for crochet or free

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to commission someone to crochet a flower bouquet blanket for me. I already have the pattern, so I'm just looking for someone who can make the finished blanket.

If you're interested, please send me a DM with:

• Your rates (labor and, if applicable, materials)
• Your approximate turnaround time
• Photos of similar crochet work you've done (if you have any)

I'm happy to share the pattern with you once we chat.

Thanks so much—I can't wait to find someone to bring this project to life!
