I FINALLY finished the cow!

The poor dino has been waiting since Christmas for it's friend, and now they can both go to the family member who commissioned them!

I had to slowly work on the cow in order to protect my joints. Still don't know what's going on there and waiting for the doctor referral. 🙄

The dino is Winston the Dinosaur and the cow is Hamish the Highland Cow, both patterns from The Crochet Code.

Hello Crochet peeps!

Random question. Is there any reason I shouldn't put glue down the grippy part of my crochet hook?

I'm so tired of the grippy part slowly sliding off the metal hook.

Hi! I’m curious about commissioning a creature from you! What are your costs/parameters?

Hello!

I saw that you liked the sock monkey worry monster, were you wanting something like that?

I sell my worry monsters for $25 plus shipping. We can either go by general vibes and I'll make something for you, something specific (like the sock monkey), or I can give you an invite to my Worry Monster discord where you can choose all the pieces yourself!

The thing that blindsides me every time is how heavy a crochet project quickly becomes. 2kg of yarn weighs 2kg but I always somehow feel like when it is absorbed into The Project it should no longer weigh 2kg.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Each ball is only 100g which is very light so crocheting 20 of them together should also be very light.

[disorganisedautodidact]

Me, holding a 50g ball of yarn: surely knitting 15 of these into a sweater won't weigh more than like. 100g

Me, later: by Talos this can't be happening

ME AND MY 6KG AND COUNTING GIANT BLANKET!!!!!

If you can't find a thing, make the thing.

I can never remember the difference between M1L and M1R when knitting so... I made little reminders out of shrinky-dink paper to clip on to my stitch markers!

Could they be neater?

Probably

Could they be smaller?

Sure

Am I going to make better ones?

....nah 😅

Finally finished this Sandstone Scorpion, and right in time for Valentines! I took a month off crochet to give my wrists time to heal. They were hurting a LOT.

Working on a Little Guy

[and-fishing-equipment]

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

"being a human is so boring why can't I be one of the COOL animals" okay hey. I hear you. but I actually really super love being an omnivorous persistence hunting primate with a stomach capable of dissolving many literal poisons and the ability to smell geosmin (released in the soil after it rains) at five parts per trillion. I super enjoy being a bipedal terrifyingly agile mammal with some of the most efficient sweat glands in the animal kingdom. I find a lot of joy in being an endotherm with mimicry abilities that rival most other animals with vocal chords. it's sick as hell I'm having a lot of fun

[divinelyhooked]

I'm really enjoying making this guy.

a significant problem with crafting is that once you make something you now have it forever. you can sidestep this by making gifts for people but well now they have the thing forever and there's probably a limit to how many things they want. unless the thing you enjoy crafting is also a thing you want an infinite amount of there's just no good solution here.

[penny-anna]

i don't like to complain about this bcos i don't want to discourage people from giving me cross stitch related gifts but i do wish people would remember that if you give someone a cross stitch kit as a gift then you are also by extension giving them a piece of wall art to display in their home.

if i cross stitch a thing for someone i will generally give consideration to 'is this something this particular person will want in their home forever' and i am not afforded the same courtesy in return :(

This is why baking and decorating cookies or making candles / soap is a good compromise! You get an creative outlet, but the end product gets consumed.

Embroidery is def not my strong suit lol And I mis-spaced the legs, so it looks better with 6 rather than 8.

But introducing MMDS, or the Mock Moldy Donut Spider!

(I call it a moldy donut because I made it with scraps of blue yarn that I don't have a lot left of. There are 4 shades of blue in the body, three of which were fully used up.)

Pattern is in the Creepigurumi boom by Madelenon Soledad.

Finished a purple dragon for me, based off the same pattern my nephew's dinosaur! The wings aren't at all what I imagined they would be, but they're cute.

I put a vanilla packet in it's chest so it smells nice :)
