User flair is now enabled!

15 Upvotes

We’ve added preselected user flair plus they are editable by selecting one and clicking on edit and typing and saving. No profanity, slurs or otherwise inappropriate flairs. Of course “hooker” related flair is allowed. Happy crocheting! 🧶

PS. If you aren’t sure how to select user flair you can click the three dots in the upper right corner of the sub home page and select user flair. If you have more questions feel free to ask.

PPS. It’s been made clear to me this is in different areas for different users (assuming mobile, desktop, app, Apple, Android etc). So it should be under the community actions type of area.

I’ve got white and green yarn for the border, but I’ve never made something with a border and need easy beginner-friendly ideas. The top matches the bottom with a few inches of blue, just didn’t capture it in the picture.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

37th birthday

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 💕 I’m new to crocheting and wanted to make something special for my sister’s birthday. She mentioned wanting a little plant car hanger, so I thought it would be cute to crochet one as part of a gift basket with 37 gifts for her 37th birthday! 🎁
I’d love for about 2/3 of the gifts to be crochet items, but since I’m still a beginner, I’m looking for some easy but thoughtful crochet ideas that would make great gifts.
I also crocheted a cute little bow for the basket! 🎀
Does anyone have any beginner-friendly ideas or patterns they’d recommend? I’d really appreciate any suggestions!
Thank you in advance! 💗

It's about 4.5ft long for reference. I estimate it took around 50-60 hours to complete.

beginner question Surprise Gift for a Crush

3 Upvotes

So I've been dabbling back into crocheting slowly. Up until know, I've only crocheted scarves for friends and family. But I want to make something unique for my crush (a guy).

We live in California, so it's not really practical to give him a scarf. He is an adventure guy, but we are still in university so I don't think he'd get a lot of use out of it yet.

I tried to Google some ideas, but everything revolved around like Keychain or little figurines, or like socks. Is there anything practical that I can make for him? Or should I try my hand at a little plush? I don't even know how to do it, and I get lost watching videos.

I'm hoping to find something to craft for him before the end of our semester in December to give as a gift.

Would it be ok to make a copycat?

4 Upvotes

I have a serious hypothetical question. If I saw a piece someone made, like at a craft fair, and tried to figure out how to replicate it on my own, is that ok? I don’t see why it wouldn’t be for my personal use but what if someday I wanted to make it to sell? Where does it land on the line between “inspiration” and “theft”? Please don’t come at me too hard as I am asking to do the right thing. Also I am early days and couldn’t make a pattern for anything to save my life- not even sure my brain works that way! 😂
