Note: I’ve made FOs from laceweight to super bulky so I’m not actually inexperienced with any weight besides I guess jumbo, BUT

I’ve been working pretty much exclusively on a big lacework project using thread for the last few months with a couple of smaller projects in fingering weight in between. I wanted to take a quick break to do some planning on a project I started months ago, a temperature blanket I fell behind on because I ran out of yarn in a couple of colors. I figured I would make one square of the blanket, weigh it, and use that + weather data for the days I’ve missed to determine how much yarn I need to catch up.

The blanket yarn is worsted weight. I’m using a relatively large hook for the yarn size (6) because I tend to crochet tight. But wow do I feel suddenly like this is the largest yarn ever made. The hook feels like a sledgehammer. The yarn was clearly spun by giants. It’s wild! Compared to the thread i’ve been working with lately it’s like I’m on another planet.

Any pattern ideas for this?

Found this blanket at Homesense today and wanted to make my own with different colours. I figured they were just plain granny squares but none of the patterns I’m finding seem to match it. Any ideas for a granny square pattern that would come out like this?

IVE HAD OVER NINE OF THESE IN ONE CAKE IM SO FED UP 😭

I am primarily interested in a similar shape and sleeve. I've found a few on my own but I'm hoping to see some different options! Thank you!

I started working on these pants a couple weeks ago. It's been my go-to busy work. It's they Crochet High Waisted Sweat Pants from TCDDIY.

I got to crochet the most darling outfit! I have several friends having babies so I’ve been able to make all the baby outfits my heart desires. This is the first finished set and I am in love.

My son goes to an in-home daycare and they are moving to a new house next month, so I'm putting together a little housewarming gift of crocheted dishcloths, scrubbies, potholders, etc. but I'm not sure how to package them nicely - any ideas? It feels strange to just hand over a bunch of washcloths. 😂 Maybe some type of gift basket? Should I label the individual items somehow? Maybe include some extra things like kitchen utensils or something? 🤔

Also - any ideas of other quick projects to include? TIA!

100% wool yarn from Hobbii, making a blanket! :)

Frogged a blanket I made and now making it into granny squares. Not sure what I want to make! Anyone have a favorite things they’ve made with granny squares?

Found a tutorial on YouTube and it’s looks so cute

So I've been crocheting for around a year and a half now and I like to think I'm ok at it. I make clothing and accessories because that is what I enjoy. Usually when people see my wips at work they are really nice and interested in what I'm making or the yarn I'm using.

Today someone came up to me with a beaded bracelet and said I should start crocheting with beads. I said I wasn't sure as I make clothing and might find it uncomfortable and also it's very fiddly. He said, "You've been stuck in the same style for a long time. You should be doing something different by now".

I am highly sensitive so I take things to heart but now I feel a bit down about my crochet, like I'm not good enough because I'm not constantly learning new techniques and ways of doing things. Anyone else feel like this or feel rubbish after getting critiques you didn't ask for?

Edit: To clarify, this wasn't a fellow crocheter but someone who has watched me when I crochet at work and apparently decided I'm not good enough.

This took me around 2 months to complete and is by far my biggest project.

Took me about two weeks but I’ve finally finished my first project that’s not a wooble or a scarf. Behold, this throw blanket. And the edges are actually straight! I want to make a million of them.

I’m making a pony bead weighted blanket, and I bought these beautiful beads but I’m having trouble deciding which way to add them. Should I do each bead a different color and the rainbow kind of repeats and gets blended together, or should I do a gradient with each row being the next color? Let me know which one you like more, thanks!

I'm thinking I'll use it to expand my Clover hook collection, but any other recommendations of amazing but over priced products?

Also any Ontario crocheters - this coupon is at lens mill and can be used once a day for the next 5 days!
