Ryu's Crochet

[ryutasticcrochet]

A place for my crochet creations and woes. Probably a lot of woes.

Etsy

Ravelry

[ryutasticcrochet]

These patterns (and their test garments) are now available on Etsy! (And Ravelry of course)

[ryutasticcrochet]

Well, I tried

Anyway, the pattern is available on ravelry

I've also made the pattern for this bag available for free on ravelry

It's here!

[ryutasticcrochet]

When I made this, I didn't consider how difficult it would be to photograph

Boring in the front, party in the back lmao

Pattern now available on ravelry!

[ryutasticcrochet]

Ugh. I have a good crochet idea but I did the math and the material would cost more than my usual monthly crochet budget. Now I have to decide whether to go for it (it's a really cool idea imo!) or make something else :(

[ryutasticcrochet]

New pattern, old photography skill lol

The length I went to, to avoid making straps. There are so many patterns I want to try but I don't trust straps, so here's my effort to avoid the damn things.

I have a new laptop!

Pros: doesn't take half an hour to boot or freeze every three minutes (you don't know anxiety until you have to get as much done as possible before the next big freeze)

Con: AI *hisses*

I attempted to offer a sale on ravelry last month, but somehow that didn't work. I'm trying it again and this time, I tested it (only as far as check out but). It worked for me, so I hope it'll work for you!

(do let me know if it doesn't work. I'm still trying to figure out how that feature works)

There's currently a sale on both my etsy and ravelry stores! Everything is 10% off from March 18th-24th. Please check them out :)

Introducing No Sew Chevron Top

No need to sew the sides with this one! Though you still have to weave in the many, many ends. I apologize for that.

I also apologize for using sport yarn for this. I had some left over and wanted to use them.

The pattern contains instruction to make this top in S, M, and L sizes, as well as a note to make bigger sizes.

It's currently available on ravelry and patreon.

[ryutasticcrochet]

I'm wondering if I should just delete my patreon. The idea of having to churn out contents regularly AND frequently is depressing imo. I know every job is like that these days and that's not good either. I understand that marketing is important but it's just too much :/

[ryutasticcrochet]

I thought I was just about to finish a vest commission but it turns out there’s a misunderstanding about the size of the vest, so now I have to get more yarn and add another row of granny squares to it. My hands are tired 😭

[ryutasticcrochet]

Posted this old and not entirely original (I saw something cool online and tried to replicate it lol) pattern to my ravelry store. Please check it out!

It's not on my etsy store yet but you can find garments there and other patterns there.

[ryutasticcrochet]

I know etsy fee is high but I didn’t realize how high until yesterday. I basically only get 30% of a pattern sale after etsy took its cuts. Like bruh I might as well make it available for free 😭😭😭

[ryutasticcrochet]

Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself but then I remember I live in the tropics and anything above sport weight yarn is too hot for me :(

[ryutasticcrochet]

After wrestling with Ravelry for an hour, I've finally managed to upload this damn pattern

^ this one

I use sport yarn for this, which is, yes, exhausting, but I live in the tropics and any yarn weight above that is way too hot for me

[ryutasticcrochet]

So I recently made this

I saw something similar on a Japanese crochet book and decided to make my own version. I'm quite happy with this (and hopefully so is the person who immediately bought it from me!) despite having to remake one of the panels because guess who counted the stitches wrong! Surely not me!

It's currently only available on Patreon but will soon be uploaded on Ravelry.
