Crochet crop top update!

Last update: https://lemm.ee/post/110769

By popular demand it is *officially* now a #crochet crop top not a tunic. Took a photo just now to commemorate how it looks before blocking, because I have a horrible feeling about this.

The sleeves currently hang a bit weird, pre-blocking, but I remember that happened last time I made this pattern too so not too worried about that. I *am* a bit worried it'll grow uncontrollably and no longer be cropped.

Wish me luck!

For some reason, the wife decided to pull out all of the amigurumi critters that she's made since she started doing this at the beginning of the year.

So, here you go, the group shot:

She said that the pattern was awful and that she had fudge all kinds of stuff to make it work. The hat needed to be completely redesigned.

I am very proud of her.

I've also been working on this off and on for months. Keep running out of yarn, or losing the bag with the new yarn in it. The baby it's meant for is now 6 months old and will probably go to college before it's done.

I hope it eventually becomes a blanket bag. Saw a pattern (below), but used a suzette stitch instead. Only took me a dozen rows to figure out how to increase. 🤦 https://www.mamainastitch.com/mandala-crocheted-blanket-bag-pattern/

Hello!

I recently got back into crochet after a decade-long hiatus, and this is my first bag! I mostly winged it, so it's not perfect, but I love it!

What's your latest favorite project?

This past year i have been in a government sponsered profession-rehabilitation program, that helped me get away from my previous profession and find a new one, one that is compatible with my health issues. I made a total of 6 owls for all the 6 different workers there, who helped and assisted me this whole time. Only 5 in the photo because one of the workers went on pension last week, so i gave him his owl earlier!

Im extremely grateful for their help and hope to stay in their memory by gifting them these handmade presents. gonna gift them this friday, on my last day, i cant wait!!! (also im starting the re-education for my new future profession next monday (geotechnician/surveyor), cant wait!!)

I made this lady for my friends daughter. This is the pattern I used. https://www.stitchbyfay.com/spring-snail-crochet-pattern/

I just made some more flowers and a little hat. The flowers are removable on her hat. I made her necklace from some old play jewelry and added a clasp.

I used rainbow yarn and added pink claws and horns because the rainbow skein just didn't have a very good pink.

Self designed duck I just finished! Love how he turned out.

Amazing crochet dogs. The artist made them to look just like the real dogs.

Made each of my family members an owl for last christmas! I started like 2 weeks before Christmas, i was crocheting sooo much every day my hands were BURNING, but all worth it!!

From the excellent "Zoomigurumi 3" book. Highly recommend the whole series, they have lovely patterns for animal amigurumi.

I made this Deviling doll for a friend. We met online on an MMORPG called Ragnarok and this was their favourite creature from the game.

Or, as my sister calls it, that thing old ladies used (notice the past tense) to put on top of the TV. So my new hobby is not just old, is double old! How awesome is that? Am I a hipster now?

Or maybe she just meant flat TVs have finally caught on in the grandmother market...

(Fun fact, this is also my first ever post. When I was on Reddit I didn't even made comments ever. It became kind of a rule I was moderately proud of. Yes, I was a proud lurker, it was like my personality so now I am not a lurker so maybe this means I have no personality any more. Fair trade off I guess?)

Made a change to the strap for the i-cord leash pattern I've been working on. I've been having fun with these as a thing I can quickly throw together in 90 minutes at a bar. It's cheaper to make than a beer too!

The previous version was just a plain i-cord, which felt more stretchy than I was really wanting. Felt alright for more contained spaces, and I love the way it holds for walks. The lack of control from a hard stop felt slightly weird in case a rogue squirrel came by or something though.

This one has a pair of nylon strings going down the middle of the cord. The strings are normally completely hidden, but have them pulled out a bit in one spot here. They're anchored to another d-ring inside the handle knot, and the lead. Takes only a few minutes to weave in, and does wonders for the feel.

The strings are sized longer than the cord they're inside, so it gives a nice 6-12 inches of stretch before going totally rigid
