i made a flower crown the other day
so I taught myself embroidery about a month ago and then it was time for xmas gifts, so I made this for my best friend and I can’t wait to send it to him but it’s a surprise so I can’t show it to him and I feel the need to show it off because it’s only my third finished project and I’m just so so proud of it
embroidery is my new favorite sport
You should be proud - this is lovely!
honestly the top tip i can give to any beginner knitter is to just ignore all the supposed ‘skill levels’ something takes.
sure, you might not want your first project to be complex cables or ornate lace or complicated color work, but if you want to make a thing then make it. use youtube and learn the new stitches. ask your local knitting group for help if you need it.
your knitting ability will increase a lot faster if you ignore what you’re supposed to be doing and start picking patterns by how appealing they are to you.
when i was new to knitting, i remember being too shy to reach out to more experienced knitters bc omg they’re going to see how clueless and new and bad at this i am and look, i know i’m not the best knitter in the world, but if there are any new knitters out there who feel too intimidated to reach out to me for anything (advice, help, show off the thing you’re proud of) please know that i have been where you are, and am here now as your super supportive knitting elder who will be so happy to see how far you’ve come, or to help you figure out what’s not working, or to give advice or encouragement as needed or really anything else i can do for you bc knitting is that wonderful to me and i just really want you to have a good time doing it too!
Relatable.

cross stitch is just pixel art on fabric, reblog if you’re not a coward
Acoustic pixel art
Cross-stitch came first so pixel art is just digital cross stitch design
what Bliss said. ❤️
I remember seeing this on Reddit ages ago, and it’s partly why I’m so hesitant to do crochet comms. People don’t realize how much work goes into crafting, and nasty attitudes like this are sadly common.
Today I found out that yarners think crocheting socks is subversive and controversial and I just…on one hand, why the fuck not, I guess yarners are allowed to have their controversies, but on the other, how much time do you have in your FUCKIN DAY??
My main concern is how they would feel but Maggie u know yarn fandom gotta think about something while knitting five miles of stockingnette for a sweater
Look, you can’t just leave it at that, why is it subversive and controversial? *gets popcorn*
I mean, I’m taking this on good faith, and I’m not saying this is my own personal belief. I believe in all crafts.
But…the structure of the stitches and the resulting fabric is pretty different between crochet and knitting. You get different effects between them, which lends themselves to different crafts. And none of the effects of (most) crochet stitches lend themselves naturally to socks. You’re (usually) going to end up with something either stiff and bulky, or full of holes that will Not Feel Good to walk on. Whereas knitted socks will just…BE elastic and comfortable.
Sure you CAN do it. And there are people and patterns that do it well!!
But MOST crochet socks are a bit like calling this a bicycle
I mean… Okay? But people are going to Talk.
But this is BABY controversy, this is nothing. You haven’t even touched on the good shit like RHSS or that time the Olympic Committee dissed us.
Iiiinteresting. So one of those “just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD” things.
Also I know very little about the yarn fandom except for that bit where a woman had to fake her death and had a nervous breakdown over selling homespun/dyed yarn so like, I already have big expectations.
Was that the one that “died” of leukemia or the one that “died” of lupus, or the one that overdosed?
From what I know of the narrative as it was described to me, I want to say the one that overdosed, but I am intrigued and vaguely concerned that there are multiple distinct individuals the above situation could apply to.
hey umm, what the fuck
the fake deaths thing: indie yarn dyer gets popular, gets overwhelmed by orders, can’t refund money because of shitty bookkeeping, decides faking online death is the only way out.
i’m sure some of them are unintentional rather than premeditated scammers but they’re all still thieving assholes who shouldn’t be running businesses and need to give all the money back.
the olympics commitee: ravelry, well-known knitting (fiber arts in general) site, held a contest they called the ‘ravelympics’ to drum up olympic support then get a cease-and-desist letter for copyright infringement, and the letter said that calling it that ‘denigrates the true nature of the Olympic Games’ and was ‘disrespectful to our country’s finest athletes’
except, you know, ravelry had like 2 million users who all, by nature of ravelry being a website, have basic tech literacy. the social media backlash was so bad that the olympics board had to make 2 official apologies because the first wasn’t good enough.
RHSS: Red Heart Super Saver is cheap Walmart-level yarn. some people hate it because it used to be just really fucking awful and they haven’t bothered updating their opinions. some people hate it because they hate non-natural yarns. some people hate it because they’re yarn snobs(which, btw, comes in two flavors: the disdainful assholes and the people who just don’t see the point if you have the money and don’t indulge yourself). a lot of people defend it because it’s cheap and widely locally available and honestly not that bad after a wash and some fabric softener.
crocheted socks: exactly what kaitoukitty said. people who crochet socks tend to either be new crocheters who are not aware crochet is not the best medium for socks or experienced crocheters who are pushing the boundaries of the medium.
babies on fire: i can’t believe we’re talking about yarncraft controversies and no one mentioned babies on fire. that’s my favorite controversy.
so when deciding what material to make baby blankets out of, in addition to considerations like softness, ease of washing, and allergy concerns quite a lot of people like to consider what would happen to the baby if the blanket was set on fire. yes, really.
wool has the problem of hand-wash only blankets for a new mother (superwash wool exists but that’s a whole ‘nother paragraph), allergy concerns, and also real fucking expensive if you want quality not-itchy-on-baby-skin wool. but pro-wool-blanket people insist that because wool actually resists being set on fire pretty well and also can self-extinguish, it’s the only sensible choice.
acrylic on the other hand is cheap and you can throw it in the washing machine, and while bad quality acrylics might be stiff and plastic-y they’re not itchy, but if it gets set on fire it will melt onto the baby’s skin. pro-acrylic people insist that if your blanket is on fire, you probably have bigger problems than what the blanket is made of.
wow I didn’t expect such a detailed response. thank you!
Fiber Arts Just Be Fucking Like That.
what hte FUCK
With construction going on in a house that already has some awful lighting, I’m afraid that I couldn’t get the best pictures. But here’s a cat in a pumpkin! I’ve decided against adding a jack-o-lantern face to the pumpkin. It would be difficult at this size to accomplish putting one on that I’d properly like, and I think it would drown out a lot of the orange.

THAT’S how you make lace??
And THIS is why lace was a worn primarily by royalty and aristocracy for so many centuries.. It was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Wearing it, and wearing LOTS of it was a blatant show of wealth and excessive consumption.
Mechanically-produced lace wasn’t really a thing until well into the 20th century, but there remains a wide gap between the quality of mass-produced and hand crafted
In general textile arts are highly underated considering the amount of skill and time needed to execute pretty much anything.
I am always amazed by the people that do this and somehow keep all those threads from tangling!
I made dis.
My crochet cosplay is now at mid thigh level and the princess twirl is on point. I definitely need to put some elastic in the top of the bodice. Hopefully my mom, who is more experienced in sewing, will be able to help me with that because the dress slips pretty badly.
If anyone has any advice, I’d be happy to hear it!
EDIT: tagging @thescarletstitch because they said it was alright 🙂
i’m sorry you’re fuckign crocheting a princess serenity dress!? You amazing person. Bless you. can’t wait to see this finished!!
If you can crochet a looped band at the top to pocket the elastic in you won’t need to sew! You’ll want to go with a thick band too--more than an inch. Keep in mind the dress, when done, will also be very heavy. Sleeves should also have some sort of elastic to assist with keeping everything up

Strange sentences of crochet
These are things I have said aloud with other people in the room, while crocheting. Feel free to add your own! I know i will have to add more.
"AT LAST, THE PERFECT TENTICLE!"
*talking to the pattern I am following* "You wanna do it that way huh? Fine. Who am I to tell you what a giraffe looks like?"
"Right. I'm going to get some parsnip wool."
Where are my snip-snips? And, OH MY GOSH, WHERE DID MY HOOK GO!
Later that day...
Found it! I found it! Aren't I a great hooker?
How did my scissors end up over there?
Oops there’s yarn under the couch...and a stitch marker!
Magic!
