Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

Here's what my granny square vest looks like on me. Pretty happy with the fit too. Can't wear it over anything chunky, but then I don't think I'll feel the need to.

I found my mom’s old granny squares crochet catalog from 1973 and boy is it the most seventies thing that ever seventiesed. That said, I feel like tumblr might like these for inspiration

So... I saw Sonic 3...

I... Am SO TEMPTED to crochet this goddamn beautiful abomination of a sweater. It seems simple enough. It's basically a bunch of granmy squares with sewn on amigurumi donuts. It would be time consuming, but I am so tempted...

Would anyone want one? Or am I the only one who absolutely adored this sweater? 🤔

Sometimes it's hard to get it ALL in one post! There is this amazing granny square bundle going on for a few days and then it will NOT be available ever again......there's our books on Amazon....our Facebook group with free Crochet Alongs....our website with over 1000 patterns......so here's our LinkTree so you can have ALL the links!

It's granny square time, bay bee! I'm making a modified Jilly Cardigan designed by Holly Woodward, because I'm physically incapable of just following a pattern. I'm adding side panels (pictured here), lengthening the front panels by one, and rotating the sleeves to account for the side panels and longer front panels.

I'm arranging my colors for maximum clash, and using up lots of one-off skeins in discontinued colors or leftover skeins from long-finished projects, all in 100% pima cotton! (This isn't even all of my colors. There are at least five more not represented here. Maybe six.)

I need to take some better pics in the light of day tomorrow... but just look at this!! So happy with how this vest turned out!

New orange bag!! This turned out so cute :D it was a gift but I think I’m gonna have to make one for myself.

There’ll be a full post coming with all the details but here are the main patterns I used for the orange squares, the flower squares, and the bag shape!

Granny square bag

After multiple granny square projects, I told my girlfriend that I was so done with them, but obviously like a week later I made this. My girlfriend went on a five day trip to Spain last week and I got to spend some time alone and I thought, how cool would it be to make an entire bag in just these five days? So I went onto crocheting and ended up finishing it on my way to pick her up from the airport! Talk about time management 🤣

Now the bag is a simple tote bag with long straps and a lining. I ended up only using yarn from stash which was great because one of my goals from this year is downsizing the amount of yarn I have. I even had this cotton fabric for the lining laying around, so I didn't even have to leave my house!

I'm very happy with the way it looks and so does my girlfriends which is the most important thing.

It's done!!!

This blanket is hands-down my favorite thing I've ever made. I gave the last one to my parents but this one I'm keeping all to myself. 320 unique (!) squares and 49 balls of yarn.

Yarn and pattern details under the cut:

Square pattern: "Little Sunburst Square" by Jacquie aka Bunny Mummy

Yarn: KnitPicks Wool of the Andes worsted in Oyster, Almond, Camel, Grizzly (since discontinued), Bramble, Onyx, Marble, and Crane. 6 balls of each plus one extra of Bramble (for the border.)
