Can you crochet while watching TV? I’ve been working on my crochet speed while making this sweater because not only do I want this project to be done 😂 but I think it’s cool when people crochet or knit really fast. • • • • • • • #crochetsweater #crochetsweaters #freecrochetpattern #yarnlove #sweaterweather #yarnaddiction #igcrochet #ravelrydesigner #handmadecrochet #instacrocheting #코바늘 #diversknitty #moderncrochet #crochetallday #crocheting #crochetblogger #crochetersofinstagram #crochetando #crochet_relax #crochetinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/B2KT8wQBQsw/?igshid=1c3qzwyyuwkgj

At the beginning of the year I had three wooden baskets filled to the brim with color coordinated yarn. I made a personal goal, that I could only use the yarn from my stash for the whole year. Honestly a lot of the yarn I was tired of looking at but since I had no choice but to use what I had then I began creating. I completed the goal of 52 hats in a year. You can see many of the hats I made in my feed. I made 1 Sweater, 2 Tops and my first pair of pants (which I have yet to post because they are VERY yellow). The projects I have in the works are my first knit shawl, my first crochet shrug and another crochet sweater. These are taking longer because they are all using fingering or dk weight yarn. ✨What are some projects that you’ve finished this year?✨ I’d love to hear about them😊 #freecrochetpatterns #knitpattern #yarnaddiction #yarnaddicted #igcrochet #igcrocheters #igknitter #ravelrydesigner #yarnstagram #handmadeknits #handmadecrochet #instaknitter #instacrocheting #fiberartist #fiberartistofinstagram #fiberlove #뜨개질 #손뜨개 #코바늘 #뜨개질그램 #blackgirlsknit #diversknitty #moderncrochet #crochetallday #yarnstash https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FqdNdhVLP/?igshid=dn9po46b8yrm

Also in my WIPS is this shrug. I plan on making a pattern out of it but I’m running out of yarn. I’m excited that I don’t have a lot of yarn left because that means that my goal of only using stash yarn all year was successful but it also means I can’t make big projects because I don’t have enough for it😂 I’m loving the colors and how it's turning out, This is my first time making a shrug so I'm nervous on how I'll write the pattern but also I'm using fingering weight held double. #crochetshrug #shrug #crochetshrugs #yarnpunk #loopsandthreadsyarn #fallfashion #crocheting #crochetwip #코바늘 https://www.instagram.com/p/B114ZwgBRhf/?igshid=1lawflmsskxfk

Progress of a shawl I started in March 😂😂 It’s my fault for choosing my first knit shawl to be in fingering weight yarn. I saw this pattern on Ravelry earlier in the year and I decided to follow it using light yarn because I’m always cold but I get hot easily too 🤔 but when I started I realized there are different kinds of fingering weight yarn and the one I was using was loops and thread. The one they suggested was a little bigger than what I had. I didn't feel like frogging it so now I have to finish this lightweight shawl ( which I’m running out of yarn for 😑) because I decided to not buy any yarn this year and only use what's in my stash (which is not much now 😂👍) #knitshawl #knittersofinstagram #knitshawls #shawlknitter #knittingshawl #shawlknitting #handknitshawl #ravelry #shawl #shawls #fingeringweightyarn #fingeringweight #shawlbabyblue #blueshawl #greengrass https://www.instagram.com/p/B1wxWCDBLX6/?igshid=74dro0x3jnkw

I'm currently reading a book about yarn stashes it's called ” A Stash Of One's Own”. It's a collection of stories by 22 knitters who share their experiences on the subject of yarn stashes. I haven’t read much but what I have read is very interesting. I plan on writing more about it on my Blog as I read more. I’ve never read this type of book before and it’s really cool to see a different type of perspective other than pattern books and How to’s. #freecrochetpattern #freecrochetpatterns #knitpattern #knitpatterns #yarnie #yarnaddiction #yarnaddicted #igcrochet #igcrocheters #igknitter #ravelrydesigner #knittingbooks #handmadeknits #handmadecrochet #instaknitter #instacrocheting #crochetbooks #fiberartistofinstagram #fiberlove #뜨개질 #손뜨개 #코바늘 #뜨개질그램 #blackgirlsknit #diversknitty #moderncrochet #crochetallday #crocheting #knitting (at North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1o5NlDhU_B/?igshid=h1zpudp0jan0

I went to the library today and picked up some knitting and crochet books. I was surprised at how small the crochet section was compared to the knitting side. I thought about all the cool crochet items I see people making in my feed. We need more books on crochet and all the cool tops, sweaters, pants, jackets that I see floating around Instagram and Pinterest. There’s so many things that I want to create but I don’t have enough yarn, time or hands to do it all. One day I want to look at my wardrobe and see an array of handmade garments waiting for me to choose from. What are some of your favorite knitting or crochet books? #freecrochetpattern #freecrochetpatterns #knitpattern #knitpatterns #yarnie #yarnaddiction #yarnaddicted #igcrochet #igcrocheters #igknitter #ravelrydesigner #knittingbooks #handmadeknits #handmadecrochet #instaknitter #instacrocheting #crochetbooks #fiberartistofinstagram #fiberlove #뜨개질 #손뜨개 #코바늘 #뜨개질그램 #blackgirlsknit #diversknitty #moderncrochet #crochetallday #crocheting #knitting https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hWEyPhNiy/?igshid=1m1prm9bvk008

Update on the Stardew Valley blanket: we've passed the halfway mark! We're about to finish a junimo (tho my phone's camera is doing weird things with the poor lighting and saturation of the various greens), halfway through the heart, and just starting he second chicken! I'm loving how it's turning out.

Can I crochet with knitting yarn?

"Can I crochet with knitting yarn?"⁣ ⁣ This is a question someone asked me. I was genuinely puzzled by the question and I didn't know how to answer it even though I knew the answer (it was an easy one of course).⁣ ⁣ I have never heard in my 10+ years of knitting and crocheting "knitting yarn and "crocheting yarn". It makes me sad that there is such a difference in reactions if you say "I knit" vs "I crochet (what if you do both).⁣ ⁣ The more I grow in the world of crafting with yarn the more I notice how people talk about the way they are treated when they say "I crochet" and I really wonder why. Who made knitting the in-group leaving those who crochet having to work overtime to prove that their craft is important and beautiful too?? ⁣ ⁣ Yarn is just a fiber that can be used for crocheting, embroidery, sewing, macrame, weaving, knitting, textiles, ropemaking and more. You can make more than amigurumi, baby hats and afghans with crochet and I'm so glad that many amazing designers are starting to showcase that. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

Chunky Crochet Hat

These cute, fun and easy chunky crochet hats turned out so nicely. I used @lionbrandyarn to make them. The pom-poms added a beautiful and fun finish to the end result. One beret and one hat perfect for little kids and adults of all ages. The size and colors are very customizable and for the kid's size, it didn’t take more than an hour to complete. I’m working on making a pattern tutorial to sell on Ravelry. 

Since I’m new to officially becoming a crochet/ knitwear designer there are so many things I have to learn and things I will forever be learning. I love seeing people feel confident and through my fashion, I want to empower people to express themselves through fashion. I want them to confidently love themselves so that they can better love others and that’s honestly the reason why I do what I do
