Throwing it back to when I made this cherry applique πŸ’ This is one of the first things I ever crocheted (and that I actually kept). It's been 13 years since then, but I think it was the first thing I crocheted that I was genuinely proud of! Even though it's kinda wonky and the yarns are definitely not the same weight, I like it ❀ The intention was to stick it to a denim jacket or something similar, but I never found a piece of clothing that was "worthy enough" for such a big commitment, So, here we are, years and years after and this applique was just sitting in a box, almost forgotten. I gave it a good block (something that was unheard of back then) and now it sits on my desk & I look at it every day. I still need to think long and hard about where to stick it, because some things apparently never change πŸ˜‚ Is there a particular project you kept from back when you were an absolute beginner? I'd love to hear about it! . . . . . #crochethighway #crochetcherriesΒ  #crochet #crochetinspiration #crochetando #crochetlover #crocheted #crochetlove #crochetofinstagram #crochetart https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciu9lW3DSkw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Have you started your fall makes? I'm so sick of the heat 🫠πŸ₯΅ I'm more than eager for fall to get here. For me, summer has always been too hot, winter too cold, spring too wet. But fall? Fall is the perfect season and you cannot convince me otherwise πŸ’ The #DontScrapThatRaglan is the perfect project to transition into fall πŸ‚πŸ It can be made with long or short sleeves, as beautifully illustrated by Lu @crochetwithlu 😍 Swipe to see the short-sleeve version! What is your favorite season? If it's not fall, you gotta also tell me why not? πŸ˜† Pattern: #DontScrapThatRaglan available in all my stores through the link in my bio Maker: @crochetwithlu Yarn: @louielolayarns Merino Nylon DK and BFL DK #CrochetHighway #crochetwear #imakemyownwardrobe #crochet #crochetlover #ilovecrochet #crochetersoftheworld #crochetgirl #crochetstyle (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChkLbkhLBfo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's Friday finally! I spent the better half of my afternoon updating the link tree on my blog. Now it's got all the fancy pictures and it's better organized! I have so much work I want to do for my blog, but annoyingly there's so little time and I always end up working on a design instead πŸ’β€β™€οΈ I'm spending my weekend crocheting, I need to get back to where I was before frogging half my progress on my WIP yesterday πŸ˜’ How about you? Any big plans for the weekend?

Sneak peek into my newest design! πŸ’™β€πŸ’™ I have been planning this one since a few months ago when I received this beautiful yarn kindly gifted to me by @schachenmayr to try out. There have been some changes to the colorwork since the first time I showed you the swatch for the #PlaidAndSimpleSweater, but the idea is the same! Now sadly, half of what you see here is already back into skein form due to a color placement error *facepalm* But I'm back on track now and can't wait to work on it again tonight! Pattern:#PlaidAndSimpleSweater, a new top-down sweater coming in November Yarn: #schachenmayr Soft & Easy Fine #CrochetHighway #crochet #crochetsweater #plaid #ladygoofus #crochetlover #crochetgeek #crochetallday #crocheteria #crochettops #crochetmood https://www.instagram.com/p/ChZ6Q8cMony/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Plans for today: Go through applications for the #LibraBag & start the test. Frog no less than half of the yoke on a new design due to a silly mistake. Cry. Start working on it again & this time do better πŸ’β€β™€οΈ How's your #wipwednesday going so far? #CrochetHighway #MyZodiacSweater #scheepjes #scheepjescatona #scheepjeswip #instacrochet #crochetpattern #crochetbag #crochetgeek #crochetersoftheworld #crochetsociety #crochetgirl #crochetstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXMGharQ28/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ladies and gentlemen... the Libra Bag! πŸ’ƒ She's finally finished! The photo does not do it justice though because you can't see the bottom, the lining isn't added yet, and the strap isn't attached. And MY OH MY wait 'till you see how the strap is attached to the body! I made an adjustable and removable strap and after you see it I'm sure you will want to make one, too ✨ If you can't sew to save your life, don't worry 'cause it's more like a crochet joining method than anything else! So, expect some spam from me with this bag for the foreseeable future, while I wrap up all the tutorials that come with the pattern... and there are A FEW! Happy Friday friends!

Well, if you said some type of bag, you were right! This is another progress pic, as I haven't had time to take proper photos of the finished bag yet, but you can imagine a drawstring come into play πŸ₯° The #LibraBag will be a sister pattern to the #LibraPullover, but it's made up almost entirely out of variations of the single crochet stitch. It's going to be one of those patterns that are rather easy to make, but give that professional look. I'm very excited to show you the finished piece! If you were wondering, I'm going to use cardboard to create a base shape, and the fishing line will help reinforce the strap so it doesn't bend out of shape with wear. I'm also adding lining to the inside of it, but I haven't found the perfect fabric yet. I need to go shopping for some lemon print cotton fabric πŸ‹πŸ₯° I think 1 square meter should suffice for both the body of the bag, and the base shaper. But I might buy a little more, just to be safe. I never hand stitched lining to the inside of a bag, so this will be an exciting learning experience as well 😁 Do you have any tips for non-sewing people on how to make the process easier? #crochethighway #crochetbag #scheepjes #scheepjeswip #scheepjescatona #colorfulcrochet #crochetgirlgang #crochet https://www.instagram.com/p/ChCzrcns-oU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Heading into the weekend be like 😎 I'm working on something new this weekend that I haven't revealed yet & I'm so excited to show you. It's gonna involve a little bit of sewing (completely optional though), and some fishing line & cardboard - also optional. And yes, it's a crochet pattern still πŸ˜… Care to guess what it's all about? I gave you some huge hints over there 😁 I hope to have it done in a matter of days and show you 😍 How are you this fine Saturday? I hope the weather is a little less hot where you are! πŸ₯΅ #CrochetHighway #StarryYoke #schachenmayr #schachenmayrcatania #weekendvibes #weekendmood #crochetlover #crochetgirlgang #crochetofinstagram #crochet_relax #crochet https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg6_MCjsjLP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I finished my Gangalee Sweater this week! The mosaic trellis are just mesmerizing to look at. It's been so enjoyable to work on this and to see the pattern unfold with every new round. I'm looking forward to colder weather now, when my husband and I can really start arguing about who this sweater actually belongs to πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚ Pattern: #GangaleeSweater (in testing) designed by @yarnandfabric, I used @alizeyarns Cotton Gold for mine #yarnandfabric #topdownsweater #loveyarn #mosaiccrochet #alizecottongold #alizecottongoldbatik #crochet https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg11nrNMVl1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🚨 TESTER CALL! 🚨 I'm now looking for testers for sizes 6-9 (actual busts 49" and above, finished busts 55"-67") for my #LibraPullover design! This is a top-down circular yoke sweater worn with 1-6" of positive ease around the bust. I'm wearing mine with 5.5" of positive ease for the ultimate snugly fit, but you can choose a smaller size with less positive ease. The pattern includes options for a bubble sleeve (shown here) or a tapered sleeve, as well as 2 options for finishings: ribbed or simple hem, collar and cuffs. It's worked mainly in bloSC, with the addition of a modified spike stitch to create the beautiful grid effect πŸ’™ The pattern calls for sport weight yarn (category 2), but a heavier category 1 yarn may also work, as long as you meet gauge. I'm accepting applications until Saturday, and the test will run for 9 weeks from Sunday, August 7 to Saturday, October 8. All the information is available at the link in my bio @crochethighway ! Please share this post to your friends who might be interested in applying ❀️ #crochethighway #plussizecrochet #knitfatdiewarm #scheepjes #scheepjeswip #scheepjescatona #patterntest #patterntester #patterntesterswanted #patterntestersneeded #patterntestercall #crochetpatterntesters #sizeinclusivestitches #sizeinclusivecrochet #sizeinclusivity #plussizepatterntester #crochet https://www.instagram.com/p/CgwlWeNMKt0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Look what I finished over the weekend! Still have the ends to weave in and some tutorials to write for the pattern, but I think I can safely say the #LibraPullover is finally finished πŸ₯° The pattern is going to be released in October (super fitting for the name I might add), so there's still a little while longer to wait. But I'm super excited about it so I'm gonna share it with you some more 🀩 I hope your weekend went great and you got some time to relax and crochet! #LibraPullover coming in October πŸ‘‰πŸ» Subscribe to my newsletter at the link in my bio so you don't miss it #CrochetHighway #scheepjes #scheepjeswip #scheepjescatona #crochet #crocheting #crochetlove #crochetart #crochettop #crochetsociety #crochethooker #crochetideas https://www.instagram.com/p/CguFGgwstZ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
