The hardest part of making a waffle stitch blanket is that you just can’t help stopping regularly to feel just how gloriously squishy it is. #crochet

Hello Mastodon! 👋 I'm Gaby, and Slugs on the Refrigerator is my little corner of the internet: a UK crochet blog full of patterns, step-by-step tutorials and Crochet Camp lessons (plus the odd bit of DIY, party planning and farm life). If you're just starting out, the humble hexagon is a lovely first project. Here's my photo-by-photo guide to crocheting a basic hexagon: https://www.slugsontherefrigerator.com/blog/how-to-basic-hexagon/ #crochet #crochetpattern #yarn #crochettutorial #introduction

This, believe it or not, is the start of a big, intricate, mosaic crochet blanket. Always amazes me with #crochet and #knitting, how the biggest project starts with a single stitch on a hook or needle. I’ll never not find that fascinating, no matter how long I make stuff ☺️

“Chain 206” Cries in #crochet

It always tickles me when I get these mega yarn balls 😅 A4 envelope for scale. This is for a reversible mosaic #crochet blanket. Which as you can imagine is a YARN EATING MONSTER.

這是我第一次使用馬海毛，這是Gemini建議的，我也剛好找到喜歡的馬海毛線（漸層色的那一球），就試著這樣鉤看看。目前鉤了20cm長，目標是鉤到52cm後縫合成一圈。 如果不是身在德國，我才不會想鉤這麼熱的帽子呢，但是在這裡好像也只是剛好而已。希望早點鉤完可以戴出門去。 https://g0v.social/@nightside/115805355842074384 #crochet #乳齒象友的手作嘟聲

這頂帽子分兩部份，先織出周長等於頭圍的「圍脖」，再在這圈圍脖上織出兜帽。在圍脖的部份我就混入馬海毛一起織，快織完時，Gemini才在我問適合嬰兒帽子的材質時，突然說馬海毛會刺癢、纖維又容易吸入，絕對不能用在嬰兒用品上……不是啊你要早說嘛！那就只在兜帽部份混入馬海毛就好，圍在脖子上和遮住口鼻的圍脖部份，我就只用美麗諾羊毛就好呀。但那時快織完了又捨不得拆。 我向Gemini抱怨，結果它說「我瞭解你的心情，不過不用灰心」！我怒道你應該向我道歉，以後都要替我考慮織物接觸皮膚的部位是否會刺癢的問題！ #和AI聊天 雖然有這種讓人火大的建議，但好處是直接講的話它一定會道歉（畢竟它只是假裝有感情），然後把我的要求寫進設定裡。 但全部打完如照片時，我發現中途開始針數就錯了XD 這下怪不得誰，只好毅然全拆重打，正好去掉馬海毛，只用美麗諾毛線重打。但拆線超花時間，馬海毛沾黏得到處都是，拆沒幾針就要小心剪掉或挑開糾纏的毛線，連拆除都進度緩慢。 #crochet #乳齒象友的手作嘟聲

拆含有馬海毛的毛線真是噩夢，拆到最後一團糾結處時實在沒辦法，只好剪線拆完再接線鉤織。在這過程發現這條鎖鏈型的美麗諾羊毛線有驚人的恢復力，它在糾結狀態下被絞成一條細細的羊毛線，但放一晚或更久，就自動回復成蓬鬆的鎖鏈線型。 現在我的進度已經進入兜帽，按照修改後的計畫，脖圍部分只用美麗諾線鉤織，兜帽部分編入馬海毛線，改用大一號的鉤針來做。目前感覺還不錯，很期待完成後整體呈現的顏色變化。 #crochet #乳齒象友的手作嘟聲

嗚嗚嗚真是悲劇…… 我買的毛線球用完了，我再次前往走路10分鐘的手作店家，當初仗著它近，想說就算不夠用再來買就好……沒想到！原先那款毛線賣完了！店裡整個換季！拿著當初的標籤用爛英文詢問店員，結果店員很抱歉地帶我到零碼（？）毛線籃，這裡就是店內僅剩的同款毛線了，而且還沒有同色的！我買的是淺灰色，如今只剩下白色或黑灰色勉強算得上相近色。 雖然也想過挑其他顏色更近、材質不同的毛線來用，但是其他毛線的材質恐怕太軟、不足以撐起帽子。總之就這樣試著把它完成，儘管帽兜頂會變黑…… 照片是新毛線球（黑灰色）和既有毛線（淺灰色）的對比，真的黑太多了吧T___T #crochet #乳齒象友的手作嘟聲

再次悲報，我換上黑灰線又織了約5行，發現不對呀，自從我不加針以後，怎麼兜帽邊緣不是垂直往上，反而是漸漸退縮？

根據教學影片：

• 每行的起立針是2個鎖針，這有算1針。
• 停止加針後，起立針仍然是第1針，所以第一個BLO HDC應該要打在第2針上。 https://youtu.be/or0caFgi62Q

詢問Gemini後，它說我的最後一針判斷錯了，最後一針應該打在前一排的起立針上，而不是前一排的第一個HDC上；這就是我的邊緣往後推的原因。

所以，我現在又開始拆線了……

Waffling on… #crochet

Our Airedale beauty Mavis gives her approval for my latest wacky afghan creation. This one doesn't currently have a home, but I'm thinking it would be especially nice for a bookworm ... who has to occasionally ask to be left alone to read. 😉 #Crochet #TunisianCrochet

#threegoodthings #crochet #greenparty I have my crojo back. Crocheted my second Attic 24 Yuletide mandala this evening I am looking forward to Green Party fundraiser tomorrow -halloween themed painting and boos in #Newport Thankful for a cosy home on this wet and stormy evening

I just bought this overlay mosaic #crochet pattern from Ravelry, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that it automatically comes with left-handed instructions ☺️ Little things like this make such a huge difference, as usually most crochet pattern designers assume you’re right-handed. Link:

Truth is, when I’m wearing socks that I knitted and I’m covered with a blanket I crocheted, it reminds me why I love both those crafts so much. Making something people can use is the best! #knitting #crochet

He’s been like this for hours 🙄 #dogs #greyhounds #crochet #autumn

Wife has finished her #Crochet Projekt. The wreath is made of wood, the rest is wool. It looks pretty cool! #häkeln

I’m now finally back to my one #knitting, one #crochet monogamous ways, having briefly had five things at a go during one stupid period 😅 So, time to focus on finishing this Legend of #zelda scarf. It’s a beast of a project but I think it’ll look superb once finished. Onwards! #nintendo

I've woven in the ends. Not done just yet, but almost. #crochet #FiberArts #HalloweenMask Pattern by Twisted Hatter
