... So. You know the project I mentioned in the tags of my last post?







She's done!! A bit wonky, but it's my first time making my own crochet pattern so I'm pretty proud of myself ā¤
#took much less time than i originally anticipated#but i tend to overestimate things a lot so#the braid was probably the worst part tbh#because i had to learn how to do 6 strand braids and then use really small threads#for anyone curious she's around 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) tall and took me about 4 days to make#rain world#rain world art#rw looks to the moon#looks to the moon#lttm#crochet#fiber art#amigurumi#| creations

out of curiosity..
not giving a "they are both equal in difficulty" option because reasons
reblog for a bigger sample size (if you want)
#knitblr#knitting#crochet#crocheting#craftblr#for me crochet is definitely harder (i only knit)#i have tried to learn to crochet multiple times at this point and i'm just like how do y'all even do this

If I'm honest, the whole "love in every stitch" saying for fiber artists does not apply to me, like. I'm trying to get this fucking hook into stubborn yarn and I'll be stabbing it like it owed me money. Is that love because I hope not šš
#art#crochet#honestly the closest thing i feel to love when crocheting is this feeling that this is bigger than me if that makes sense...#...i think it'sthe feeling of knowing how old the craft itself is and knowing that millions of people have done the same as you...#...millions of people have stabbed their crochet hook into the yarn because it's stubborn but so are you...#...millions of people in the past have sat and devoted their time and effort into all of this...#...millions of people have passed on this knowledge and kept this thing alive...#...and it's the feeling of knowing that humans across millenia aren't THAT different#to our core we are more or less similar - across the ages across the colours across everything. that really comforts and humbles me#have you looked up ancient textiles? because that also sparks these emotions in me#it makes me think about the tupes of people to make the textile but also about who wore it#and so many of them are still beautiful and colourful and it shows you SO MUCH about the people who made them#even the ones that are tattered and faded and stripped of colour still feel beautiful...#...because it has SURVIVED. it is evidence of a people who made it and a people who had technical skills#and THIS is why i HATE HATE HATE the idea that ancient people were just 'dumb' and 'uneducated'#that is so unfair to them and cruel and just. wrong. (and often it reeks of white supremacy)#i'm sorry i rant and rave about this so much but i canNOT be normal about this. i can't be normal about humanity#i am learning to love humanity and learn about us and learn everything and it'll never be enough - i will never know enough#i will never know everything about everybody and it will be the death of me#okay the only thing i liked about the greatest showman movie was Never Enough because that is me thinking about all this

i have to mute myself every day on the phone with my bf so i can ātellā him all about the surprises iām working on for him cause i simply cannot keep my mouth shut
#he gave me a little snoopy journal as part of my valentineās day gift#so iām writing little passages in it every time i come up with a reason that i love him or something i admire about him etc#and little momentos here and there like some pressed flowers from the bouquet he got me on his last visit š#and receipts for lil date nights#also trying to learn vietnamese so i can make it a little easier on his family to talk to me#which is HARD ASS LANGUAGE btw#and gonna attempt to crochet a tapestry of his fav MTG card

this might be a hard pill to swallow. but coming from someone who just went on a really long hiatus from drawing and had a several years-long journey of rediscovering my love for art⦠I think some of u online artists need to just take a break.
likeā the amount of times I see people stressing about everything they post and beating themselves up for not being creative as they wish they were is insane. mama! you are burnt out! your mind and body are begging for a break. thatās why it feels taxing to create. thatās why validation isnāt cutting it anymore. thatās why youāre feeling doomed. the more you avoid taking a break and keep pushing yourself, the tougher the recovery process will be.
take. a. break!!!!!!!!!
#it doesnāt mean you need to stop being creative as a whole#but whatever is bringing you stress needs to be put away for a while#for me it was drawing that did it. I would pick up a pencil and feel panicked#I felt no joy or peace from it because I was critical of everything I made#so I started baking. I started crocheting. I started learning how to write creatively#I found myself being invested in nature and noticing the world around me#and became more inspired#without ever having the intention of drawing#and when I felt like it was time to come back to my sketch pad.. thatās when I came back.#I didnāt rush it. I didnāt force myself. and it took a long time. but itās better than hating everything you make#avoiding taking a break and telling yourself youāre fine does you a disservice#atp you are punishing yourself for not being mentally well. Thatās not right#and it also shows in your art when youāre not feeling good about what you make tbh#confidence is attractive. with humans and with art#art rambles#art tips#art tutorial#art how to#art hot take#text post#mine

friends i love crocheting so much . why does it hurt me so
#did i marathon another doily? yes.#did that make my index finger not fit for crocheting for the next few days because the thread basically caused ropeburn lite? yes.#did i learn from this experience? no#will i avoid repeating this mistake in the future? also no. i did the same exact thing for the 4th time. this one was smaller tho#i like making doilies best because the patterns are so easy to follow and i get to learn many interesting stitches#bigger things like blankets and pillowcases are fun too but not engaging enough. they're good to make when watching a movie#but i usually don't have enough yarn on me to make something big#+ it's really difficult for me to pick colors for the patterns and solid color is just so boring and bland. when i was making that bag for#ori it took me longer to figure out the color scheme than to actually make it.#i fucking hate making plushies. made 2 of the same squid (fun and cute) but making any other plushie is agony#i had SO many attempts at the manta ray. grr wrr grr. i'm not even going to try making anything else until i forget why i hate making them#crochet#whispers

Reminder to all the knitters and crocheters and all the like: before you start a larger project with a yarn that you bought ages ago check if it wasnt discontinued
#crochet#knitting#sponsored by: that lady in a yarn shop that looked at me like i was crazy#not my fault that i only now dug out that yarn okay šš#did i learn from that? only time will tell (but probably not)

pros and cons of having relatives who knit:
PROS
most of those relatives are elderly aunts
free yarn sometimes
sometimes that free yarn is really nice
like REALLY nice
get to talk about fiber arts together (entertainment at family events)
get to bond with other generations over your shared crafts
get invited to charity projects
they show you their beautiful projects
they can appreciate your projects properly
CONS
one of those people is my sister
they give her all the good yarn and i have to negotiate with her to get any
can't show them any bralettes because they will judge
#i stg they forget i crochet most of the time#this is what i get for starting after my sister learned to knit#another con that didn't make the list bc it's too specific:#they connect with my sister better than me because she knits and i crochet and they all knit#but like they appreciate quality work when they see it regardless of craft#my grandmother does needlepoint so she's sorta a part of this#but she's not bc she's kind of a bitch#crochet#knitting#yarn#family#large family#cecil rambles

one thing first commenters on advice forum questions love to do is tell you you're asking the wrong question and not to do the thing you want to do . doesnt matter what the question is or why you have your rationale. if you're asking a thing they don't know the answer to they don't just stay off the thread they say. you see it's very simple: don't ask for a way around the thing i do. do what i do instead
#trying to get knitting sites to just give you seamed flat patterns especially#like i dont like circular needles! ive avoided knitting for a long time bc every pattern is for circulars and i prefer flat!#'it's easier on your wrists' dont care. 'the patterns are more popular' dont care. 'its easier to learn' dont care plus it isnt for ME#'it means you get to skip sewing!' DONT CARE PLUS I LOVE SEWING#i just want to make rectangles and sew them together#they do this in crochet too . to be clear#everybody in the knit and crochet world is goddamn fucking allergic to sewing their projects together from pieces#and that's legit one of my favorite parts of the project. is sewing.#born to sew taught to make knots with yarn until i know it better than sewing. i guess#joinasyougo FUCK you. join when i'm GOOD and READY

Our anti-hero struggles with a crochet hook and a ball of grey yarn. How is he worse than the last time he tried, he wonders. He glares at the offending hook and suppresses the urge to yeet it into the distance.
