I’ve talked about this on Twitter but I don’t think I’ve posted about it here.
I like to crochet and I decided to do something very ambitious, which is turn a one of @souriadraws’ Lewis and George prints into a crocheted tapestry. The original image is from her personal works portfolio, and I got Souria’s blessing to do this project.
I used a site called Stitchfiddle to turn the print into a diagram I could work into a 5’x5’ square using mini corner-to-corner stitches. I had to simplify it into >10 colors (so I wouldn’t die) and edit the background, but here’s a rough preview of the graph I’m using. It’s not the whole thing because I am not reposting the diagram for others’ use (and there’s a surprise baked into it):
And here’s some pictures of my progress so far. This is worked in a diagonal instead of side-to-side like most crochet is, so I’m currently right about at George’s forehead.
My ultimate hope is that I finish in time for the Canadian GP and I can find a way to give it to the team as a gift, but we’ll see. If that doesn’t work out, I guess I will keep it, but it’s been a really fun challenge so far and I’ve had to learn/practice a few new-to-me crochet techniques to manage all of the color changes and minimize the amount of loose ends to weave in.
I will update my progress on this, if you want to see it. It’s been a lot of fun.

Feeling bold and brave. Here’s the c2c avocado blanket I made for my kid. She created a comic anti-hero named Avo von Cado and I wanted to celebrate her stories. It was my first attempt at a graphghan and at some point the math stopped mathing, so I crocheted the pit on hope and vibes. Yay me!

This follows the original post here, I'm creating a new one so the chronicle of this project doesn't murder everyone's dash.
Both of the corners have been in for a while, now each line is decreasing by 1 square every time, and it will gradually come to a point to form the last corner.
Thankfully, it's getting to the point where the rows are a reasonable length again and it doesn't take me like six hours (probably an exaggeration but it feels like it) to get through.

More blanket progress 😊 Getting a tiny bit uneven at the one end, and technically a few inches short. All in all, coming together well though. Working on row 22 now, less than 100 to go. Hope y'all are excited for the weekend 💜

Husky C2C crochet square!
This is the first completed square of a dog blanket I am making for my sister’s graduation. There will be a total of 6 squares, as they are pretty big
