“Took Around 110 Hours”: 83 Times People Crocheted Something Awesome And Wowed The Internet (New Pics)

I crocheted this life-size Boxer dog replica for my brothers Fiancée, to gift to her second cousin for her birthday. Super happy with how he turned out! 🧶
He took around 110 hours from start to finish, and it was such a fun and rewarding challenge. I loved figuring out new ways to shape amigurumi and picked up so many new skills and tricks along the way! He sits at approximately 30.5 inches tall.

Last year my wife and I got married, and for our invitations I made an illustration of the two of us. It was a little snapshot of our story, with nods to the places we grew up.
Fast forward to today. We’re visiting my in-laws and my mother-in-law goes, “I made you something.” Then she pulls out this knitted blanket inspired by that exact illustration. We were honestly speechless. The craftsmanship is insane, and knowing how much time this must have taken makes it even more special.
Had to share with you all. We’re still in awe. What a gift.

Hi everyone! I'm a first-time poster here and wanted to share two original crochet dresses made by my fiancée: The Lobster Dress & The Sardine Dress. She created both patterns herself and worked on them daily for months! The images you see are from a recent exhibition and my favorites.
Hope you like it!

I saw this obviously AI birb (second photo) a while ago, decided to try my hand at it. Maybe the feathers on my version aren't so nice and even, but at least mine exists for real :D

My parents are making fun of me for giving this to him, but he was laughing so genuinely when he saw it, so I think it was a success :')

Theoretical Physicist Eleonora Svanberg attended the Nobel Prize banquet in a crochet dress her sister made inspired by her research about black holes.

Hi! New to Reddit, and wanted to share my favorite crochet piece because it comes with a sweet story 🧶❤️:
This past Valentines Day, my boyfriend and I decided to go to Santa Cruz. I wanted to make a love-themed sweater for the occasion and worked around the clock on it for the week leading up to the trip.

This was the first (good) large clothing piece I’d made and I was absolutely psyched to wear this sweater. But my boyfriend, who’s always been my biggest supporter and hype man, kept chuckling when he saw it. I started to think, does he think it’s ugly or tacky? Still, I had worked super hard on it, so I was going to wear it.

Well, turns out he was planning on proposing on Valentine’s Day, and he was worried that I wouldn’t want to be in a bulky sweater instead of a nice outfit, especially because he had secretly hired a photographer to capture the moment. But I adore it! Besides crochet being something near and dear to me, I literally made the sweater as a representation of love for a day of love. It’s a little kitschy, and it’s not perfect, but it’s the loveliest piece of clothing I have now

Sometimes its the little things we can do with our crafts that can make a big impact.

I made a giant mentos roll pillow stuffed with 14 individual mentos like the real ones and this might be one of my favorite projects.

Hook is a pvc pipe and a 30mm hook from meijer that I thankfully found last minute (I was going to sculpt one with air dry clay). The ball is paper mache, which took forever. It’s hard for him to walk in, but also hilarious. He really loves it and is proud every time he puts it on. But also, he will only wear it for a little while because it’s awkward to wear lol I did my best.

Finally gonna try recovery (with my progress snake to motivate me)
I’m terrified of the idea, but I’ve had an eating disorder for 8 years and I can’t keep doing this shit. Spent the last few months trying to decide if I want to get better or worse, cause I can’t stay at this level. Finally decided a couple days ago that Ana can get fucked (obviously not that simple, but I’m riding on the spite as long as I can)
Inspired by a temperature snake I saw on here, I’m making a crocheted recovery snake to keep a record and to motivate me. 7 rows of 8sc per day, dual strand to show the category and accuracy of my intake. As I reduce the accuracy of my tracking he’ll get lighter, and as I start eating more types of food without tracking them he’ll get brighter. Gonna go for L1 of grains tomorrow cause he needs some yellow
The contrast of the colours is a little better irl lol, but I wanted to do it without buying any new yarn (only had to buy 1 in the end). I’m excited to watch him grow, and I’m hoping it lets me feel like a person again

I had this idea like a year or so ago to crochet items to match book covers I liked//wanted to hype and share on my Instagram. I called it Kissing Books and Crochet Hooks and I was really proud at first, but I made it through a few projects and then fizzled because I felt silly and like my projects weren’t good enough, even just to give away.
Is this a dumb idea? 

Got an ad that included an epic, clearly AI pattern as one of the things you could get, so I decided to make it myself to see if I could just figure it out! it's very simple but I am an amateur crocheter (normally a knitter) so I'm happy with it!
