#crochet attack

[dredshirtroberts]

yeah i think crochet is my hubris hobby in that it feeds my hubris to do other things that might be beyond my capabilities but like.

Mid crochet-attack I'm pretty sure i'm capable of crocheting just about anything. At one point I made a whole cardigan that was nearly large enough to be a mini blanket, just because i was like "You know what I bet I can do..." and then i did it and it looked amazing.

I have spent the past like week-ish in a fugue state of crochet, a large portion of which was spent on a bag i did completely from scratch using bits and pieces of techniques from actual patterns, and then me freestyling as i started to feel bored after a number of rows of the same thing

and the bag looks *incredible* - was received very warmly by the birthday person, and frankly i'm more proud of it than i was of the cardigan which up until this point has been my magnum opus (though i lost it in the Great Escape of 2019). I also have just. an absurd amount of the same thread/yarn I used for it so I will by all likelihoods be doing a similar one in the future because it was a fun project to work on.

but now i'm like "Yeah i finished a beautiful bag in a reasonable* amount of time, I'm capable of doing anything at all and definitely will not fail or miss a deadline or give up halfway through because i got bored!" despite all the evidence to the contrary from past experience.

*reasonable meaning in this context "it doesn't feel like it took that long even though the majority of 3 days was spent on it" and thus might not actually be "reasonable"

Like thankfully I am in too much pain to continue on rn because of the aforementioned "have spent the past week crocheting non-stop" so I physically cannot work on anything else right now, but my brain is like "Oh we could definitely keep working on/create a whole new project and still have motivation to work on the christmas presents you wanna do" and like. Nuh-uh no we cannot, I know better.

but the hubris, you see.

Some more advice for fellow adults: set your ego aside and let younger people (even kids!) educate and teach you. There is no shame in looking to a younger person for education and knowledge. It is, actually, a big facet of humanity that we teach each other - why, then, does that teacher need to be the Right Age in order for you to be willing to learn from them?

I don't think I ever shared these here, and since no one else besides my husband and brother understands it, you all enjoy my favorite bags!

due to circumstances (stuck in my house feeling like a caged animal bc of wildfire smoke) I have crocheted another fish! I stuffed this one with old clothes instead of polyester fiber filling like the previous ones I’ve made, and I actually like it way better bc the extra weight makes the fish so realistically floppy! and it’s perfect for whacking people with! >:)

Alt text for video: Two short clips of my hand holding the crocheted fish and flopping it around to demonstrate how the weight makes it move realistically. In the first clip I’m holding the fish by the middle and flopping it up and down. In the second clip, I’m holding the fish by the tail and making it wiggle from side to side. In the background of both clips you can hear my brother practicing the mandalorian theme on the piano. End alt text.

First time properly sitting down and trying crochet. It was much harder on my wrists than I was expecting; I have no idea if my hook is too big or too small (3mm hook, fingering weight yarn), or maybe the hook just sucks? (I stopped using knitting needles from this company years ago...)

I didn't use a pattern for this, just knowledge of single stitch and knitting conventions for increases, which did not translate across. So I found a tutorial for crochet spheres and will be frogging this and trying again

My cat's toxic trait is that he ALWAYS wants to sleep on whichever crochet project I'm working on, especially WHILE I'm working on it, and snag it in a thousand places with his claws while he tries to get comfortable 🙄

a new introduction post *updated...again*

hi, my name’s alice (she/they/it). i see you’ve stumbled across my tumblr.

practically an adult child. sex positive aroace (demi) bisexual with adhd and maybe some other things. music, chaos, and fantasy my beloved.

im learning norwegian and enjoy learning about scandinavian history and culture. my hobbies include noodling around on my guitar, crochet, writing, urban and rural adventure, making collages, and looking for pirate radio stations.

i got ordained for shits and giggles and my favorite anime is attack on titan. im also completely obsessed with the tolkien universe, creepypastas, and the slenderverse. am pagan and practice witchcraft and will probably never start a friendship with “hi”.

in terms of my personality? imagine if amazing phil, danisnotonfire, kesha, and echo gillette had a love child (chaotic, gay, and a slut in theory but not in practice).

anyway, how about we figure out how to human together?
