Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...
...and also being able to read things like THIS:
#art#crochet#fiber art#described images#image description in alt#used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE#see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet#i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece#with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same.#i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean#plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece#one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it#*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost*#if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡#i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting'#did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO#i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3#i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to..#...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

I hate being responsible in yarn stores. Unfair
#i only bought. one thing of yarn#which was some lettlopi for nalbinding#but then also some tiny stitch markers and some eucalyn finally#its probably for the best that nowhere sells wool for spinning too#that would be my downfall

also im into crochet now!!
I made pigs!!
#yes these are from a woobles pattern. I can't recommend them based on price but I really did learn a lot from the kits I bought#I'm currently working on a blanket which. I made the pattern for myself :3#I won't be done for a while though because I have to buy $24 worth of yarn to finish it :(#but the little white pig was pretty cheap in terms of materials. cost maybe $1 and that's a really high estimate#also I just ordered some safety eyes because I'm not a fan of how the embroidered ones look. I thought the little Xs would be cute#but they just look dead. um.#but it was just for practice anyway. when I start selling stuff I'm gonna use only my own patterns#maybe I'll sell the patterns I make too? but maybe not. I will if people are interested I guess but I don't want that to be the basis of my#business#like I want to crochet little trinkets not sell patterns#I might sell patterns of bigger stuff I make though? like the things that take several hours to make

Finally got to finish him. I guess october's a little to late to start making christmas presents. Anyway he's done and I love him so much I don't want him to go ;_;
#actually when i first started making him i wanted to start selling but fuck no im not doing this shit again#hes too complex for someone who started crocheting last year#also if someone wants a pattern its also a no its a goddamn miracle it turned out this good and im not figuring out how ive done it#look at his wittle bow again#my art#crochet#crocheting#yarn crafts#amigurumi#king owl house#king toh#king clawthorne#the owl house#owl house#toh fanart#the owl house fanart

Following a tutorial for a cute beanie and I've already frogged a row about three times...I am in pain.
#doesn't help that the tutorial is in spanish#yes it has english subtitles but still struggling#would be worth it for the beanie though#if it works out i might make one for myself too#(this one is for my sister as all things end up being)#(the cardigan i was making? made it in her size instead)#all this because who on earth is gonna buy me twelve skeins of yarn for a single cardigan?#that's more than twice my monthly allowance#dammit i need a job#maybe i should sell hats#a small business yes#could add that to my college application in the future#so it would look less pathetic#oh no i'm rambling again#crochet stuff

yall i spent a good hour tryna figure out how to crochet a chain stitch (i was following a tutorial) and let me just say.. what the fuck
#talkin#im a simple man... i just wanna make my fiance a hat#and crochet a penis plushie#if i can figure out how to do that i can die happy#or at least less miserable#i think my tension might be wrong and im either holding it way too tight or entirely not tight enough#bc i either cant get the hook thru or my chains are loose and sloppy#i may also need thicker yarn but most of the worsted weight we sell at work is wool and im allergic i need cotton or acrylic

grimm n vivi :p
#my art#my ocs#grimm#vivi#yayyyy my sketches are slowly starting to be okay again#not fully there but eh#also i had to stop the replay of hk cause the switch was starting to kill my wrists#is there like. an ergonomic case for that thing?#anyways....#making a crochet blanket with all the leftover yarn from The Beast tm#might end up having to make 2....#i severely overbought yarn...#but! im gonna try to sell the extra blankets! 100$ each maybe... probably just 50 tho... i dont think anyone is gonna pay 100 for a blanket#i only spent 80 on the yarn#and my brother is paying me 100 fir The Beast tm so ive already made back the money. but.#if i do sell these extra blankets. i can buy a new desktop computer like ive been meaning too#i already have enough to buy the graphics card. ive just been waitign to buy the actual screen at the same time#cause those are all i need#and if i just buy em now#itll all be ready ot be built#and then i can draw on a computer thats ment to run games in 4k lol#all in the name of never crashing a drawing file ever again....#and playing minecraft modded lol

began writing the hawks pattern down and it's already 4 pages long lmao. tho tbf 2 pages are just the list of materials and terminology... ya boy sure isn't the fastest to type down
#and I have yet to add pictures#I hate adding pictures to things#so time consuming#wish me luck#I hope this thing sells#I would love for others to make a tiny birb too#lowkey thrilled to see how he'd look like when worked by another hand#in other news I have figured out the wings#but I have to wait until tomorrow to grab the yarn for them#the red I had at home is way too bright#doesn't go well with the less saturated colors I used for the doll#ugh#so that means I gained a day for pattern writing I guess#will anyone actually care about this? I wonder#can't believe I'm entering the third week of making this project#he's the amigurumi that's taken me the longest to finish so far#tho that might be just because I'm the designer this time#thyandra.txt

I've rapidly become obsessed with that belt, I Need to make a recreation...
#augh no time though#one of the local museums is buying folk art and seems to have zero clue what theyre looking for#and i am gonna try to sell something to them for display#but i think i need to make something first bc im really attached to all my pieces atm#so im Busy !#but i love that belt#was looking at the louvre page too they have the dimensions and all#need to study it a little closer and see if i could figure out the number of plies and if its the same in all the yarns ?#would be SO cool to do it out of naturally dyed wool#augh i need to get back to cleaning this place. i hate how busy i am i just want to sleep and make recreations of byzantine iron age belts#in peace. and maybe even play a little mined craft... is that so much to ask

oh no i've finally reached the point in my crochet hobby where I just want to make blankets, I have like 3 WIPs of blankets currently (one is a baby blanket for a friend) and my brain is trying so hard to overpower how incredibly slow making a blanket is with the desire to have a Cool Blanket I made with my own hands
#one blanket is the baby blanket i mentioned#and the other two were me impulse-buying some very pretty yarns#then trying to find patterns that would work with that yarn weight#I found a couple neat blanket patterns#so I'm making blankets now help#lee speaks#We sell consigner items at my job from a couple local artists#so I'm very tempted to ask my boss if I could sell some of my crochet stuff as consigner too#I bet she'd let me tbh. Especially the amigurumi I have#We also sell baby stuff and they'd fit RIGHT in with that lol
