#crochet — Public Fediverse posts

Blocked my first #crochet doily today! It’s actually way easier to starch and block a doily than I thought.

@consumablejoy I store my projects the same way!

My main project bags are these white zip bags I picked up at Arecibo many years ago - I got them because they were cute, and didn't have a use for them until I started crocheting again. My carry-bag is a very simple lightweight satin bag, from the Ghibli Museum, that can hold all three in a pinch - rarely has to, since I really try not to have that many WIPs at once! Another impulse buy that just happened to be the perfect size for a project bag or two, swatching tape measure, my Lumos crochet light...

The one project I'm working on (Totoro amigurumi) that doesn't fit neatly into one Arecibo bag (multiple skeins in different colors - bulky!) is currently living in this colorful shoulder bag that my MIL gave me, made of old sari fabric... Also a serendipitous matchup.

It's so much fun to have good uses for all of these bags that were just languishing in the closet previously!

(Also, when I travel and need to be as streamlined as possible, I have a couple of these airplane amenity kit bags from a Lufthansa flight a couple years ago that are surprisingly perfect for a one-skein project with hook, TSA-legal scissors, stitch markers, and a finishing needle...)

If anyone wants it, I can do a step-by-step guide to those queer juggling balls. I'm not good with crocheting terminology though, especially in English.

In short:
You need 2 balloons, 90g of millet (or something else that has about the same volume), crochet threads in the desired colors (in the picture those are not the correct colors and the "pink" isn't even crochet thread - it's too brittle and soft) and a crochet hook, scissors and a scale.

You blow up the 2 balloons and bind them close with some leftover thread and let them hang somewhere overnight, so they wear out. You open them up again and fill one with millet. One balloon filled with millet should be about 90 grams. You may have to blow up the balloon already filled with millet a few times until its filled enough. Now cut the neck of the balloon as well as the other one. Take the empty balloon, stretch it and pull it over the other one like a condom. Now you should have a ball with no millet flowing out.

Now to the crocheting. Start with 2 chains and then do a ring of 5 meshes all into the first chain. Close the ring by stabbing through the start of the ring and pulling the thread through both loops, then do a chain to start the new row.

Turn the piece around and now do a row of 10 meshes, by doubling each mesh.

Each half-ball consists of 11 rows:
5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50-50
So each row except for the last one you add 5 meshes.

So how many rows per color?
3 colors (e.g.: :PansexualFlag: ): 8 rows (5-40), 3 rows (45-50)
4 colors (e.g.: :AsexualFlag: ): 7 rows (5-35), 4 rows (40-50)
5 colors (e.g.: :TransFlag: ): 6 rows (5-30), 3 rows (35-45), 2 rows (50)
6 colors (e.g. :QueerFlag: ): 5 rows (5-25), 3 rows (30-40), 3 rows (45-50)
3 different size rows (e.g.: :BisexualFlag: ): 9 rows (5-45), 2 rows (50)

When you switch colors you complete the row with by pulling the thread through the other end, but don't add the chain. Cut the thread and pull it all the way through. Pull both rest-threads of the color to the less beautiful side (inside) and knot them together, making sure not to pull them together too tightly.
You start the next row with the new color by doing a chain on the side you ended the last row at and then turn the piece around.

If you're finished with the 11th row (half the ball) make sure you leave enough thread (at least at one of the half-balls) to sew them together.
Sew about a quarter together before putting the balloon in, then finish sewing.

(Okay this turned out way longer than I expected, but it's still just very rudimental - if there is demand I'll do a thorough guide with pictures and try to use the correct vocab - I'm sure chain isn't the right word for example.)

Did the gauge swatches for the mystery crochet along I am participating in. They use a 3mm and a 2.5mm hook (two designers two tensions). To meet gauge I need to use 2.5mm for rounds and 2mm for rows. 😂

Over the last few months, I've been slowly working to decide what I wanted to do with & create a Patreon and Youtube channel for said Patreon.

I decided I would use it to teach how to crochet.

I've never used Patreon before & this is my first time ever posting videos with any regularity like a schedule... I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing, but I'm having a lot of fun trying.

All that said, if you're into #crochet or know someone who would like to learn from what will hopefully be short videos, please consider checking out my Patreon [link below].

@consumablejoy I have a #crochet project in Todoist with sections for Finished, In Progress, and Future.

Minimum viable entry for Future is title + link to pattern. When I get a minute, I'll drop in the weight and amount of yarn required, so I don't have to click through to figure that out (and so if I see a particularly pretty yarn at a shop or festival, I can search for e.g. "worsted" and see if it aligns with any of my aspirations). Gifts also get tagged with a recipient.

WIPs get the specific yarn brand / colorway and hook size added. They're listed in the order I started them, as a gentle way to encourage me to finish the oldest thing first if I have more than one - this doesn't always work, especially if I shoehorn in a gift with a deadline! There's also a Parked subcategory there, for things I really should finish someday but am not currently motivated... Right now that only has one project in it, which I really should stop putting off and finish just to clear the backlog. Hey, maybe that will be my #FinishOrFrogAlong goal!

This project was to have been my first one in my new home! But it turned into a recovery from hip replacement project in my new home. It's the Universe in Bloom pattern and is available in 12 parts free on Ravelry. This is the Galexy colorway using Scheepjes cotton create.

I made the Sophie's Universe for my daughter's 50th birthday. This one is for me.

I can honestly say this project challenged me a lot. And taught me just how difficult it can be to repetitively count to 3/5/7!!

And surgery recovery is going well. Another 2 sessions of physio to go!

Prise d'une certaine nostalgie depuis quelque temps, j'ai eu envie de recréer un personnage d'un univers qui m'a accompagné toute mon enfance et m'a souvent servi de réconfort (je dois avouer que c'est toujours le cas aujourd'hui encore, j'y retourne quand ça ne va pas 😆)
Vous l'aurez donc peut-être reconnu, il s'agit de Panoramix ! 🌿
C'est le premier personnage que j'ai eu envie de réaliser mais je pense en faire d'autres par la suite mais d'abord, j'ai un petit quelque chose qui mijote sous mon crochet 😁

Here's a recent crochet toy made for a wee boy who loves the kid's show it is from 😊 I used chenille yarn to give him a bit of a fuzzy texture and he came out quite large as you can see.

Here's a crochet snake plant I made a while ago. It had to be life sized to feel right to me as the shot shows. It's easy to care for than the real one & now sits on a shelf above the sofa now in a dark spot. Very satisfying. #crochetingisfun #crochet #crocheting #crochetplant

1/2 Bye bye Etsy 👋

Comme vous le savez (ou pas 😅 ), Etsy est un gouffre financier pour les créateurs tellement les frais sont élevés ! Jusqu'à présent, je gardais malgré tout ma boutique ouverte car beaucoup de personnes ont le réflexe de passer par cette plateforme.
Récemment, il y a eu une nouvelle augmentation et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, ils imposent maintenant une vérification d'identité biométrique, accompagnée de nouveaux frais bien sûr. Sinon ce n'est pas drôle 😆

#Crochet #Crocheting

My latest free-form crochet us going to take a while to complete. In the meantime I'm going to share some items crocheted earlier this year. This is a largish piece I made to use as a photography base. It's a bit like grass, maybe? #crochet #crocheting #crochetingisfun #freeformcrochetworld #freeformcrochet

It's competition time again!

Would you like a free custom crochet toy with free postage to anywhere in the world? Of course you would! 😊

The rules are the same as always:

1. You can ask me to make anything you like as long as it's a single object
2. You must follow me
3. Pop a photo into my timeline of what you want me to make with the hashtag #CazimodoCrochet so I can find it later.

Remember that my paid orders come first, so it may take a wee bit of time to get the toy to you if you win.

Search the hashtag here on Mastodon to see the previous winners. You can also check out my webpage for it, but it's not totally up to date as I still need to add the previous winner:

https://cazimodocreative.co.uk/cazimodocrochet-competition/

I will be running this competition until Sunday 2 August and will then pick a winner at random.

Good luck! 🤗

El crochet de mi mamá y la mentira del algoritmo

Hace unos días desactivé una cuenta de Instagram.

No era mi cuenta.

Era una que había creado para mi mamá.

Se llamaba El Ganchillo de Gloria.

Durante años pensé que internet podía ayudarla a vender los tejidos en crochet que hace con sus manos. Le tomé fotografías. Diseñé publicaciones. Subí contenido. Hice lo que se supone que uno debe hacer cuando le dicen que las redes sociales son una herramienta para emprender.

No funcionó.

Y eso me obligó a aceptar algo que durante mucho tiempo no quise ver.

Instagram nunca vendió un solo tejido.

Ni uno.

Los que sí compraron fueron los vecinos.

Los amigos.

Los amigos de los amigos.

La gente que conocía a mi mamá.

La gente que había visto su trabajo en persona.

La gente real.

La Matrix no compró una mierda.

Durante años nos vendieron una historia muy seductora.

Que cualquiera podía abrir una cuenta.

Que cualquiera podía construir una audiencia.

Que cualquiera podía convertir su oficio en un negocio.

Que el algoritmo conectaría mágicamente a los creadores con los compradores.

Pero la realidad fue mucho menos romántica.

La gente da likes.

La gente comenta.

La gente comparte.

La gente dice que ama lo artesanal.

Pero cuando llega la hora de sacar la billetera, descubre que ama mucho más las cosas baratas.

Un tejido en crochet puede tomar días o semanas de trabajo.

Horas y horas de una persona sentada construyendo algo punto por punto.

Sin embargo, mucha gente ve el resultado final y calcula el precio como si hubiera aparecido por generación espontánea.

Recuerdo haber visto en París chales tejidos vendidos por cientos de euros.

No estaban vendiendo lana.

Estaban vendiendo tiempo.

Experiencia.

Paciencia.

Trabajo humano.

Aquí muchas veces la conversación empieza al revés.

No preguntan cuánto demoró hacerlo.

Preguntan cuánto descuento les van a hacer.

Y si son amigos, esperan un descuento.

Y si son amigos cercanos, esperan otro.

Y si además existe algún parentesco, amistad o historia familiar, el descuento se vuelve parte de la negociación nacional permanente.

El problema nunca fue el crochet.

El problema fue creer que Instagram era la solución.

Yo también compré esa fantasía.

Creí que estar en redes significaba vender.

Creí que la visibilidad era lo mismo que el valor.

Creí que el algoritmo podía crear clientes.

Y estaba equivocado.

Lo más extraño es que, al desactivar la cuenta, no sentí que estuviera cerrando un negocio.

Sentí que estaba enterrando una ilusión.

La ilusión de que las plataformas digitales premian automáticamente el trabajo bien hecho.

No lo hacen.

Premian muchas otras cosas.

La atención.

La repetición.

La publicidad.

La suerte.

A veces el escándalo.

A veces el humo.

Pero no necesariamente el trabajo bien hecho.

Sin embargo, hay algo hermoso en todo esto.

Porque mientras la cuenta fue incapaz de vender casi nada, los tejidos siguen existiendo.

Tengo diez cubrecamas hechos a mano por mi mamá.

Diez.

Y los amo.

Quizá Instagram desaparezca algún día.

Quizá Meta termine siendo otro fósil digital.

Quizá dentro de veinte años nadie recuerde qué era un reel.

Pero esos cubrecamas seguirán existiendo.

Seguirán contando una historia.

La de una mujer que pasó miles de horas tejiendo.

La de un hijo que creyó que internet podía ayudarla.

Y la de una lección incómoda que tardé años en aprender:

el valor de una cosa y la capacidad de venderla en redes sociales no son la misma cosa.

La cuenta fue desactivada.

La fantasía murió.

Pero los tejidos sobrevivieron.

Y, honestamente, creo que eso es lo más importante.

@elmandelacamara

Operador de cámara.

Viejo.

Cansado.

Obsoleto.

Hijo de una mujer que teje mejor de lo que vende Instagram.

Amante del crochet de mamá.

Desilusionado de eso que llaman amistad.

Cansado de nadar contra la corriente.

Solo la mayor parte del tiempo.

Libre de la Matrix casi siempre.

Y cada día más lejos de la fantasía del algoritmo.
