Everyone should learn basic crochet or knitting, because there will come a point when you are elderly. And being able to create blankets and hats, little bits of art that you leave behind, not only bonds you to your family when you are gone, but it gives you a way to contribute when you can no longer wrangle the cows or harvest the garden.

And there may even come a point where you no longer remember who or where you are. But you know what you do remember? You remember how to crochet. I worked in a nursing home and there were so many women with dementia who did not remember that they could knit, but if you gave them needles and yarn, their hands would remember and it would surprise them.

And instead of those women fretting because they didn't know what was happening, they then lost themselves in the meditative flow of knitting by focusing their attention and immersing themselves in the present moment. Which of course alleviates stress and promotes mental well-being. So you don't even have to know how to create a sweater, just knitting or crocheting a simple square helps you.

Interest Check: Isopuppy Plushies

Anyone interested in buying isopuppy plushies?

Either as a pattern or actual sewn-by-me toys. Because I have crocheted So Many Toys over my children, and I am thinking it's time to go back to sewing for awhile, but I should also stop rampantly making toys without homes to send them to. So. Casual interest check. I am absolutely making one for myself; this just determines if I should go through the effort of making an actual pattern so I can replicate the process.

#interest check #I like making things #then I run out of room for the things #the tragedy of the compulsive crafter #I have made Two Entire Blankets over this newborn and husband is very supportive #but I can see him eyeing our overfull blanket closet #and wondering when we will have so many blankets that he is inevitably smothered in his sleep #I would offer to sell crocheted blankets but they would be So Expensive #if you ever get a crocheted anything from someone #make sure to thank them profusely #because that is hours and hours of love #that is also why this isn't an offer for crocheted isopuppies #I could make a pattern for that easy #but oh boy would it take so much time compared to a sewn version #not looking for a cost prohibitive Seal Jerky here #just an adorable impulse-buyable pupper #I REALLY want to make little bean-filled ones that can curl up into baseball-sized balls for Playing Fetch #and a bigger version with suction cups on the legs so Good Boys can go up walls (or at least windows and bathroom mirrors)#but what I SHOULDN'T do is make a million hilarious versions that are going to collect dust #ADOPT AN ISOPUPPY TODAY #avatar the last airbender #atla #Salvage #Zuko #the amazin

for anyone interested in mending, i recommend the speedweve (or other darning loom brand) for patching up holes in clothes!!

it's easy to use and fun, you can make cool patterns with it :D and extending the lifespan of your clothes is good for saving money and the environment too

it looks like this and you can get different sizes (usually 12 pin, 14 pin or 28 pin) and i found 12 is perfect for darning socks. it's about $10 on amazon, but if you're like me and try to avoid using amazon there are other sites too, like this one (where i got the image from), but they can be a bit more expensive... it's worth looking around to get one for a good price

i've only done socks so far but here are some pics of what i've done (the patch in the first pic's not great but it was one of my first attempts!!):

you can find tutorials like this on youtube and patterns on blogs like this

#not yakuza #mending #visible mending #darning loom #speedweve #idk why i made a post about this i just wanted to share djfjfk #also dont look too closely at my socks bc i am still kinda bad at it #but it is easy to learn i promise mdjfkfk #im really into mending and making reusable eco friendly stuff like crocheted face cloths lately #so if anyone else is interested in that kinda thing feel free to message/send an ask so we can share stuff hehe #my art #my stuff

While she was cutting my hair I kept like 👁️👁️ analyzing my stylist's sweater trying to reverse engineer that thang mentally and I think I might have 80% of this crochet sweater pattern mentally pirated

#Creepy chatter #Like that can't truly JUST be half double crochet alternating between full stitch + third loop stitch #I'm literally already making something w that already (all in third loop but still easy adjustment)#I wanna make a sweater or smth but I keep over hyping the difficulty #You can buy sweaters entirely made of hdc...Its not scary intimidating knowledge it would seem...#Showing up for my next cut w my illegally downloaded crochet sweater like :) it was cute!#I made some twist head bands and meant to bring her one last week but FORGOR...next time #She has cute short hair that's always different colors so I thought she could use a white velvet twist band for a bunch of different fits #I haven't taken pics yet bc lol...i look kinda dumb in them and the beautiful babygirls they're intended for are not around atm 😔

i hate hate hate when a crochet pattern says "beginner" or "easy" in the title and then goes on as if they're writing for professionals!!!!!!!! I don't know how to make a magic circle Betty!!!!! Tell me don't just go

MC DC 4 CH 6 HDC5TOG

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!!!

and they almost never put progress photos for people to compare!!!!!! Just say it's an intermediate pattern!!!!!!! then beginners won't look and get scared off of the craft!!!!!

#ive been looking for an actual easy pattern for 4 days now #they never explain how to do anything #do i have to pay money for a book to learn #i cant watch tutorial videos bc of my ADD either #life is pain #crochet #vent
