My 8yo Son & I Collaborated On This Fantasy Creatures He Named "Sandstalker"
My son loves making up fantasy worlds, drawing maps for them, and coming up with all these cool names and concepts. And I love crocheting fantasy creatures! So I asked him if we could collaborate on some unique creatures and he was so excited.
He says: The Sandstalker lives in a world named Pyrara, the Divided Islands. It is native to the Nine Moons Desert, where it lives a largely solitary life. Dominant males may have an additional smaller set of horns in front of the standard pair.
Crochet details: Design, eyes, & horns by me Yarn is "Moria" from Prismatic Fiber & Artistry (plus a random black acrylic).

Finished My First Blanket For My Partner’s Mom In Hospice
Back in January, my partner’s mom entered hospice bc of her dementia. I started crocheting last summer and I decided to make a blanket for her with my boyfriend. He helped pick the pattern and yarn colors. Dalia’s are her favorite flower so I thought this pattern was perfect and purple is her favorite color. To be honest, I was so worried that I wouldn’t finish it in time for her to use it before she [passed away] and it stressed me out the entire time.
It took me five months, but I DID IT! This is my first blanket. It’s thick, heavy, and stunning. Some of the pictures are from before I added the border, but I think they show the full blanket a little better. His mom is now nearing the end of her life and I don’t think she really understands what is going on or that I made the blanket, but she’s been using it for the past month which makes me happy.
Now back to less stressful projects lol.

I Finally Get To Post This!!
What started as a belated birthday present became a belated Christmas present for my best friend! I started this in late November and after two and a half months, 27,300 stitches, more color changes than I care to count, and hours of YouTube, I finally finished. This was the most ambitious project I’ve ever done and it was truly a labor of love.
The pattern is “Tiger” from YarnLoveAffair and I used budget acrylic yarn (initially from my own stash but had to hit the craft store for more green, orange, and black.) I sewed a panel of fabric on the back so I didn’t have to deal with the absolute nightmare that happened back there.

Please Convince Me It Looks Okay, I Spent Waaaay Too Many Hours On This To End Up Hating It
43Duckies 3 months ago
It looks fantastic! You just need a break after all the work you put into this, much of which may have been tedious and repetitive. Carefully pack it away for 6-12 months, and when you take it out you will be awed by your effort and skills, and be able to love it again. (I know OP won't see this. But the advice is universal whenever one starts to hate a big, long project!)

I Won First Prize, Y'all!
Last week, I posted that I was entering two pieces into my County Fair. I had no thoughts about winning; the whole point of the exercise was simply to be brave and to put myself out there.
Pickup was this evening and THEY BOTH WON FIRST PRIZE, Y'ALL! The ribbon fell off the sweater before we got to pickup but the evaluation form shows the judges awarded it!
I have never won anything like this in my life! I'm so proud and excited 🥰 I'm a Blue Ribbon Crocheter!
