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

#the craft group grannies remember these days and keep going 'did you know granny square sweaters are back in? 😰🤮' to each other #any way one day we will all be old and big white sneakers and cropped pants will be back in style among young people and we'll be like wtf

second crochet sweater! finished feb 2024

yarn is big twist gentle and pattern is red heart cozy textured cardi from yarnspirations

i actually really dont recommend the pattern lol it produces a kind of lopsided product due to the main stitch having a slight slant... i need to block this and see if that helps but if i had known i would have just picked something else

my least favorite part of doing a yarn art by far is cleaning and discovering that all the dust is the same color as the project ive been working on🤮

made this shades of green blanket for my mum for christmas bc whenever we're outside we're always like 'look at all the shades of green there are' 💚 sometimes love is 200 hours of granny squares 😌

i was at an art market with the gf and one of the vendors was wearing a granny stitch sweater and i was so close to going HI I LOVE YOUR SWEATER DID YOU MAKE IT before i remembered it's a bad idea to initiate a conversation with a vendor selling stuff i dont actually want

thinking about this again. anyway stephanie called me a "crochet maven" that one time so ig everything is relative

the kinds of projects that tend to get traction in crochetblr always makes me feel so unskilled, but then at my library craft meetup im one of the more daring crocheters so much so that the old ladies there have started asking me for advice even if i really can't help them. something something social media isnt a reliable source of validation something

hey, don't cry. middle-aged ladies who squee, ok?

#craftblr #crochet #crochetblr #not really crafting related #also aren't the guys in bts like in their early 20s? i did think it was kind of weird for these older ladies to be fawning over them #but they kept it entirely pg and ig there aren't exactly boybands that serve the 45 to 65 year old craft mom crowd #lgbtq community #lesbian #comic

simple purse i made may 2023. i don't sew so making the lining and putting pockets in it was a real challenge. it's not perfect but it gets the job done

yarn is lily sugar n cream cotton, lining fabric is also cotton
