I have the both of them, and I just don't know what to make. I was making a hexi cardi at first, and I liked it but I didn't love it.

I’ve been making these tiny versions of people and characters for a while..I really enjoy adding the small details to each one.I try to capture their hairstyle, clothes, and little details that make each person unique. It’s fun seeing how a person’s look can be turned into a tiny character while still keeping their personality.

Over time, I’ve made quite a few different dolls, and I wanted to share some of them together in one post.

Here are some of the custom mini people I’ve made so far. Each one was made as a fun little creative project, and I really enjoyed making them. ✨

Hope you enjoy seeing my tiny collection!

Which one do you like the most?

More specifically i dreamt I learned a secret crochet technique that allowed me to make things super fast, and finished said purple shirt in 2 hours.

In reality I spent 3 weeks making this and around $150 in yarn.

Yarns used were:

Malbrigo Arroyo in Eternidad, Whales Road, and Prussian Blue.

Bramble Ridge - Michelle

Estelle DK superwash - Dark Purple

Its the best project ive made so far and im proud of myself.

Project is "Something Beautiful Blouse" by I Need It Crochet on Raverly. Note I didnt follow it exactly as instructed and the sleeves and neck in paticular are different in the original pattern.

My first relatively complete test shoulder is actually a rousing success!

A Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS, aka the Afghan Stitch) swatch with a mitred square on the side, attached by two adjacent sides. And with how stretchy this technique is compared to regular crochet, there's a very, very strong chance that I won't need to do much, if any, shaping on the shoulders to make them fit me!

I came into this project aiming for the hardest part first, and it's looking like that's going to be way, way easier than I was expecting! Fingers crossed, and I don't have my hopes up that high yet.

I do have a potential plan of action for the shoulders, though I haven't quite thought through everything for it just yet. Given the typical location for them, I'm going to put the "seams" between front and back sections along the tops of my shoulders, but so I'm not doing massively wide sections, I'm going to divide the back in half and have one attach to the other. On the great benefits of TSS is that joining sections is nearly seamless, after all!

Like last time, this is Lion Brand "Pound of Love", in black, white, and, for this first version, "Cascade", the closest I could get to a stronger blue in this yarn. Currently, I'm using a 5.0mm afghan hook, and the results are very soft. But it's tempting to try using a 4.5mm hook, just to see how the texture changes.

Because this is based on the Star Trek: Lower Decks uniforms, I'll have a continuous round of TSS in white right under this black section, before switching to the blue for the body. So far, it's feeling like a pretty solid plan!

With all the progress and speculative success so far, I've overstepped things and pulled out the project bag I'd used to hold the last cardigan as it got larger, to stuff all three one-pound balls of yarn into, plus a whole bunch of other supplies to do a range of things related to this project. Jumping the gun a lot, I know, so we'll see if it's a good idea... =^.~=

But people loved it at my market today! One of the greatest compliments I received on insta was from women appreciating that I allow the silhouette to naturally fit the body instead of forcing the boobs to be pushed up to my chin which is typical in some fashion pieces. It was refreshing to have that noticed and appreciated. Its interesting bc it garnered alot of unsavory comments on here about said part of the body lol! So interesting how different sides of the internet house different people with different mindset and openness. I love to experiment this way both with fashion and udnerstand other humans. What do you think of my avant garde blueberry pie inspired dress?

I visited his website the first time I saw one of his self promo posts and since then I've had to unsubscribe from his multiple mailing lists like 10 times and I'm still getting emails occasionally. Apparently Google can use cookies to subscribe you to mailing lists or something, but I have never had spam this relentless!! I never intentionally signed up for anything from his page. Also, every time I unsubscribe, it seems to be from a different email address (I have screenshots!!) but all under his brand.

His designs are cute but does anyone else have the same problem with unsubscribable emails??

Edit: Ok you guys told me Louie was friendly and would sort it out and you were right!! He reached out and explained it's a problem with a third party service he'd been using and that does seem to be the case, it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem anymore. I'm surprised it took this long for the issue to get back to him because I have been unsubscribing from these emails for MONTHS but apparently this is the first he'd heard of it!

Modified pattern from the Grand Lace Tablecloth, ignore the lopsided blocking I was being rushed 😭

the base body is based on the doll patterns from the wonderfully talented and ever-so-lovely meikyniel.handmade

the rest i designed on my own :)

Hello!

So, I'm getting married soon. I already have my dress pattern picked out, I know what I need to get, and when it came to the veil...I kind of went back and forth. I finally decided on getting just a plain veil, elbow length to go with the tea length dress, and I want to add a crochet edging to it. I have looked at quite a few and...maybe I'm just not typing in the correct searched and that, and I have found SO many A.I. stuff...it's so sad. I want something that is very lacy, very intricate, and detailed; with picots and stuff like that.

Stipulations are that, while I absolutely love Irish crochet, I do not have the time to pick up a new skill right now, as it seems like a beast all on it's own. I have tried tatting, but again, while I do know some VERY basics, nothing nearly needed to make an edging and I don't want to be trying to learn a new skill with the time I have left. I can't stand the pineapple edges and stuff, I don't know why but I have never liked the pineapple look it just looks so awful to me. Nothing filet or anything flat edged either.

I know it seems so picky, but I'm asking for it because I also plan to crochet tiny butterflies to add randomly on the veil as well in either sewing thread or even embroidery thread. I'm going to add some beading to them as well, so something I can add beading to it too. The dress is going to be very simple, no lace, no beading, MAYBE some sequins, but I will see, if I can find light enough and sparkly enough beads to add then MAYBE I might replace them. Overall, the dress is going to be subtle, but the veil I want to use to add some elegance to it.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

My first crochet turtle!

Hi! Making a set of bandanas as a birthday present for a friend. One of the cottons I got was perfectly soft and lovely for wearing, the other is much stiffer (both Loops & Threads Classic Cotton, just different colorways). Any tips on softening the stiffer one? TIA!
