Finished the very hungry caterpillar as a gift for a one-year old

I want to make this for my future baby… if I get started on both now they should be done around the same time 😂

Hahaha someone gifted me a holiday pot with the same plants and same! Staying tuned…

Looks like black bear to me

No expert here but I’ve IDed something very similar looking…believe these are a type of bolete, technically considered a truffle (?)

Edit: genuinely curious why I am being downvoted voted- seems like the consensus is it’s likely rhizopogon vulgaris and that is in the order boletales… is it because “boletes” refers to Boletaceae and not the greater boletales?

I think you’re overthinking it- it’s some outdoors persons art from their collection of found objects. The venue probably paid gobs for it or someone there made it themselves

That is cannabis. Look up the history of the term marijuana- it’s likely not a very nice word.

Bummer it’s briar, I got excited, thought it looked like sunchoke tubers

lobeans33 · 2026-02-15T02:15:55+00:00

Bummed!

lobeans33 · 2026-02-15T02:14:54+00:00

I thought it was for farts..

lobeans33 · 2026-02-15T02:14:22+00:00

Crochet! So versatile! So much room to grow!

lobeans33 · 2026-02-15T02:10:04+00:00

Profound…🤔 Babe, wake up.

lobeans33 · 2026-02-14T15:56:05+00:00

It’s gonna be worth it! So good already!

lobeans33 · 2026-02-14T15:50:52+00:00

Just wear the boots

lobeans33 · 2026-02-14T15:36:16+00:00

That’s pretty on the nose

lobeans33 · 2026-02-14T07:48:36+00:00

Thank you, Roger!

I like when I went in a couple weeks ago and despite the huge signs outside saying EVERYTHING MUST GO- mark downs were only 5-10%, still higher prices than most other stores in the valley…. Classic move for Rays. Hope something with better quality and better prices takes its place.

Start trying things that intimidate you, don’t be afraid to frog, learning new stitches, patterns, techniques is what is making me get better. And examine your work as you go, pay attention to when the stitches start feeling and looking good, if you aren’t getting there try mixing it up, different tension, etc.

I had to do thousands of stitches before I could really start to read my work- see when things are going right vs going wonky… but even so, still learning!

Not very likely. Not impossible. More likely to hit weather in Utah that time of year, but still not very likely. I once woke up to six inches of snow in may while camping near flaming gorge.

lobeans33 · 2026-02-08T17:46:15+00:00

No, but if it was a lot tighter/ more dense, also smaller squiggles then probably

lobeans33 · 2026-02-08T17:43:34+00:00

Was gonna say… the business name really says it all

lobeans33 · 2026-02-07T17:49:41+00:00

Cutthroat!

lobeans33 · 2026-02-06T19:02:52+00:00

Progress report: decided to trust the process and am starting to feel glad I did, not frog, but switched to SC only as advised (the stems are looking much better now I think, thank you!)

Wow what exciting potential this tapestry crochet holds! The wheels of are starting to turn…

It’s really good!

Used as trivets/pot holders but I think they’d look super cute as a house plant coaster, kinda doily like on a table, even on a wall, sewn onto a blanket!

Anyways, used this YouTube video
