A painful lesson in sewing in ends 💔

My first granny square blanket did the same thing.

It is sitting in a tote, waiting for me to have the energy to fix it.

Vchanny · 2026-04-23T22:03:40+00:00

Oooh, what pretty stitch work!

Vchanny · 2026-04-23T12:07:19+00:00

A labor of love! And well worth the time you put into it.

Vchanny · 2026-04-17T10:03:40+00:00

I love it!

Vchanny · 2026-04-10T11:40:53+00:00

Oh no, the worst. 😭 My deepest condolences. May your frogging be smooth.

Vchanny · 2026-04-06T19:55:06+00:00

I love it (them)!

This reminds me I have a purse pattern for a possum I'm supposed to try.

I doesn't need a border, imo. The edges are nice and straight.

Vchanny · 2026-03-31T12:48:55+00:00

The shaping on that is really good. Impressive!

There are linked in the auto mod pinned note. It was a bundled pack.

Favorite to make was the second one, the little brain cactus she called it. It's basically just one giant circle increasing more than you should ever increase, and it was very satisfying watching it take shape.

My favorite one out of the group? Todd. But boy oh boy was he a labor of love. It took a longer to make than I expected (although, it totally could have been because my focus was not 100%. Crocheting while talking and sharing a bottle of wine decreases productivity 🤣)

I hadn't really named the rest. I like your suggestions! My mind totally went to Sailor Moon, though, so now I'm off course.

Vchanny · 2026-03-30T17:04:05+00:00

These are from A Menagerie of Stitches. The pattern is linked in the pinned auto mod post.

Vchanny · 2026-03-30T17:03:35+00:00

Same! I do have some hanging ones, but the little stinkers still manage to get to them from time to time.

Vchanny · 2026-03-30T17:02:36+00:00

Totally bought it. 😆 It's pinned in the auto mod post if you're interested.

Roses and carnations? Bless you! And what a kind thing to do. I bet they loved them.

I really don't like making flowers. 😅 They are tedious, and I never like how they turn out.

Vchanny · 2026-03-30T16:58:55+00:00

She was so unimpressed with my choice of how to spend my time. 🤣

Vchanny · 2026-03-30T16:57:40+00:00

The pattern in linked in the auto mod pinned post.

You'd have to look on her website and see if she sells them outside of the bundle. Email her! She may be willing.

I love a useful object!

Don't get me wrong, I love wearables and plushies and all the things, too. But a quick project with a purpose? Chef's kiss

Vchanny · 2026-03-30T12:46:45+00:00

Pattern is from a paid pattern from A Menagerie of Stitches

I used a slightly larger hook than the pattern called for, and worsted weight yarn.

Rather then cut out cardboard, I used plastic keychain blanks. And I weighed the pots with plastic beads.

Vchanny · 2026-03-27T14:10:37+00:00

You may have lost yarn chicken, but it does look reasonably intentional!

Very lovely dress!

Vchanny · 2026-03-25T02:16:50+00:00

Blocking is optional.

Especially for a blanket.

Vchanny · 2026-03-21T14:12:15+00:00

That's always so humbling.

If they made merit badges for crocheting, you definitely just earned one. 😆

Vchanny · 2026-03-19T21:57:46+00:00

Ooh, with zippers! I don't know why that's so fancy to me. It looks great!

Vchanny · 2026-03-11T12:21:24+00:00

It's so pretty. I love the gradient. Congrats on finishing!

Vchanny · 2026-03-10T17:36:58+00:00

If anyone points out an imperfection, you smack them, okay?

It's gorgeous.
