<|:^] ˚₊·. I learned a lot of new crochet stitches recently, and as I was making swatches, I decided to make them into a sweater! The way it all came together reminds me of roots or mycelium.‧₊˚𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊.࿐༄࿔.₊˚‧₊.

When I wasn’t practicing a new stitch, I used a large crochet hook to create looser stitches make it look more like intertwined roots and filaments. I also used a knitting loom to make flowy bell sleeves (the loose tension was unintentional at first, I was still learning that as well).

I used two types of yarn: a dainty, mottled light grey, and a soft, whispy, multicoloured yarn that has a range of light grey to brown. This is the second sweater I’ve made, and I think I’ve made progress since last time! ଘ(୨୧ᵕᴗᵕ) .₊˚𓍊𓋼𓍊.₊✩༶⋆

<:•} This is Walnut the Clown! <:•3

I crocheted him over the holiday season, he’s kind of inspired by Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.

I gave his outfit plenty of ruffles and stripes to make sure it’s sufficiently clownish. I used some puffy yarn for his hair, made a yarn pompom for his hat, and added some bows and funky buttons to his clothes.

I’m really happy with how cheeky his expression turned out, I think he’s definitely my most mischievous-looking clown ( • ̀ω•́ ).✧⊹.°˖

Some more additions to my crocheted blanket. I often like to pick a few yarn colours to work with and use up at a time, I was mainly using cooler earth tones and neutrals with these.

It’s been a while since I posted some progress on my current crocheted blanket. I hadn’t felt like working on it for a while, so I took a break from it.

But recently I was able to add plenty of new sections to it. It’s pretty big now, but I’ve just kept adding to it when I feel like it :)

I recently got some wool roving and drop spindles to try out hand spinning some yarn! :]

It turned out on the thicker side of course, but I’m happy with how it is! :-) I even crocheted my very first batch to see how it looks, and it was easy enough to work with.
