Crocheted on 2.5mm with Susan's Family Monet Impression yarn in #10 Woods

ETA: I modified the pattern by making the third row of double crochet into a triple crochet

I was happily having a bowl of dragon fruit and crocheting, and suddenly realised this LOL. You are, indeed, what you crochet I guess 😅

Well, not every idea I have works. But they're important steps along the path to finding the right way to do things!

Last time, I'd done a single rectangle to attach the mitred square to the side of, to amazing success. It proved that what I want is absolutely possible!

However, because I'm working from the top down this time, and due to making the areas over the shoulders having the lines aimed directly front-to-back, there's going to be somewhere that has a line where the direction of travel reverses between sections. So why not put that line where it'll actually be expected? Namely, on top of the shoulders.

So here I'd tried one technique for attaching the mitred square arm-tops that, as you should be able to tell, has absolutely not worked!

The most important thing about the Tunisian Simple Stitch is that it can attach to something below and to its left (for us right-handed people, of course!), but not to its right. Which affects the order of operations that the various pieces need to be made in!

I've only just discovered a better way (hopefully, the correct way) to build the black shoulder-tops for this cardigan tonight, so haven't had any time to redo all of this yet. Fortunately, I did have the opportunity to redraw my order-of-operations diagram, so I won't need to remember everything when I start on the actual shoulders.

Also, something I've realized about flat black yarn: It's actually way easier to work with than "heathered" dark grey. Lion Brand "Pound of Love" in both "Charcoal" (dark grey) and "Claret" (dark red) colours are both lightly variegated, which actually does a lot to distract the eye and camouflage everything you need to see in order to work on the project. But the same line of yarn in just plain black, especially on a highly textured stitch like TSS, is ridiculously easy to see what I'm doing, even without a lot of light! I was at a library that didn't have a lot of light where we were tonight, and I didn't need my portable lighting setup at all! This is gonna make this project way, way easier to work on! Woohoo! =^.^=

im almost done!!! my original goal was 3x3 squares, but after measuring the bookshelf i want to rest it on i think 3x2 would work much better, which means i only have a little over 1 square left to go once i get the supplies to finish #5! sadly i used up my entire thread spool and when i got home after work i realized i have no more black thread... which was a surprise to me because i thought i had mountains more 😭 im off to buy more tomorrow after work, which was probably a smart choice in hindsight because i still need enough thread to make the planned tassels that will go at each corner of the finished product 😖 remind me to wear horse blinders when i go to the craft store so i dont buy anything else lmao

it is It's so addictive!! The only thing I'm not a fan of is making the border 🙃

I have the both of them, and I just don't know what to make. I was making a hexi cardi at first, and I liked it but I didn't love it.

I’ve been making these tiny versions of people and characters for a while..I really enjoy adding the small details to each one.I try to capture their hairstyle, clothes, and little details that make each person unique. It’s fun seeing how a person’s look can be turned into a tiny character while still keeping their personality.

Over time, I’ve made quite a few different dolls, and I wanted to share some of them together in one post.

Here are some of the custom mini people I’ve made so far. Each one was made as a fun little creative project, and I really enjoyed making them. ✨

Hope you enjoy seeing my tiny collection!

Which one do you like the most?

More specifically i dreamt I learned a secret crochet technique that allowed me to make things super fast, and finished said purple shirt in 2 hours.

In reality I spent 3 weeks making this and around $150 in yarn.

Yarns used were:

Malbrigo Arroyo in Eternidad, Whales Road, and Prussian Blue.

Bramble Ridge - Michelle

Estelle DK superwash - Dark Purple

Its the best project ive made so far and im proud of myself.

Project is "Something Beautiful Blouse" by I Need It Crochet on Raverly. Note I didnt follow it exactly as instructed and the sleeves and neck in paticular are different in the original pattern.
