i love crochet

I love crochet! But I'm also picky. You won't find shawls or baggy sweaters here. I am not an old lady, so that stuff doesn't appeal to me. I prefer projects that are cute, colorful, sexy, interestingly made, or have a unique application. Every now and then, I'll do a theme week, and pick the best patterns or projects.

Crochet Skeleton Artist Caitlin McCormack

I just stumbled upon Caitlin’s work.  It’s confronting, and intriguing, creepy, and amazing all at once! Caitlin says the following about her work:

The act of stiffening intricately crocheted cotton string with glue produces material that is structurally similar to delicate bone tissue. The string implemented in this process can be viewed as the basic cellular unit of fabrication, and by utilizing media and practices inherited from my deceased relatives, I aim to generate emblems of my diminishing bloodline, embodied by each organism’s skeletal remains.

For more of Caitlin’s work, check out her site  - http://caitlintmccormack.com/home.html

Because sometimes what you need most is to see that someone crochets tiny capes and bonnets for a little flock of four metal bird sculptures perched atop a guard rail near Japan’s Kamakura Station.

After Redditor Krusaders shared the top photo on /r/mildlyinteresting a few commenters offered up photos they’d previously taken of the very same birds wearing different outfits.

Crocheted this skull shawl this month so I can be stealth punk rock. I think it turned out pretty nice

I'm not usually a fan of shawls (not a granny), but this is really cool!

Esther Chandler from Make My Day Creative shares this stunning Chevorn 3 Season Sweater.  I’m struck by how nice the fit is, and how the Chevron pattern really hugs the body’s curves.  Yes, I like this one!

Crocheted ood and dalek.

I still contend that I wouldn’t be horribly scared of either of them. Alarmed, perhaps, but they’re no vashta narada.
