Edit. I got so many great suggestions for this, thank you everyone! Looks like I'll have to work with patterns that almost but not quite match, but if you know the perfect pattern for these do share!

Help me Yarn-fedi! I've been thinking about this long cardigan/coat from Disturbia since I first saw it, and now that I'm finally a Skilled Knitter™ I was thinking I could try recreate it.

But I haven't been able to find a pattern for it! Do you know of one that night work? Either free or paid? Maybe the same shape but shorter? The sleeves are the only thing I'd change, so those could be just straight rather than flared.

I have a feeling there might be crochet patterns that are similar, but knitting is so much faster for me that I'd rather do that.

Bookish Crochet: ereader cover

I’ve made an ereader sleeve in crochet before (you can check my post here), but with wool, not very comfortable for Summer, so I decided to make another one in cotton.

Recently, I was looking at patterns for wash or dish cloths (a good way to reduced plastic at home, just make sure the yarn is 100% cotton) and found the Cottage pattern by Sarah from Rich Textures Crochet on YouTube. It’s an easy and quick, but beautiful pattern that uses a puff stitch, giving some padding to the ereader. You can make it in a square or rectangle and any size, you’ll just need the foundation cord to be a multiple of 3 + 2. Check Sarah’s video, she guides you through the whole process and if you prefer written patterns, you can go to Sarah’s website here.

So, I thought if I made two, then I could stitch them together and had a sleeve for the ereader.

It fits perfectly, but I probably should have made one or two more rows so I could sew a button. I can still add a strap if I feel it needs it, but for now the ereader doesn’t come off by its own. Sarah adds a stunning border with a picot, but I thought I would sew them with a simple crochet.

I liked this rotating fringe thing - saw it somehwere a few months ago - and thought about giving it a try. It's fun and I like how it turned out. Mixed leathers for the quirk and textures.

Hello, Mastodon! I'm so excited to be here. My name is Kate, and I'm a small-batch leatherworker creating meaningful, handcrafted items with a focus on (bracelets!!) durability and timeless design. I believe in slow craft and the power of beautiful items made with purpose.

I'd love to connect with other artisans, makers, and anyone who appreciates handmade goods with a story. Say hi and tell me about your craft!

Asked a friend if she'd use a bag with a rainbow on it after I realised it was pretty dum-dum of me to make something I'd not use*, and she said yes!** So the pride flag bag is on the move.

*Not because I dislike pride, but because I don't wear.... colours. So many colours on this!

**It's the same friend I made the pride chicken for. 😆

I also just realized I gave my friend one of my fav 4mm crochet hooks. I wanted her to learn with a hook that worked well for me.
So without my clover amour 4mm... might be a tad fucked (in that I cannot make said amigurumi or work on my summer tshirt.)

I have *similar* hook sizes.
Well fuck. Time to buy more crochet hooks? 🤪

(I can discourse on hook sizes later.)
