Let's talk about blocking your crochet pieces. Blocking is magic and can bring your project to a whole new level.
Swipe to see what this snowflake ornament looked like before and during blocking. In this case I was also working with starch, which I don't do for shawls. But it's useful for an ornament.
By the way - you don't need expensive equipment to block something. In this case, I used a kids' playmat and some pins. You could also use a folded up towel.

The pattern for this beauty is called "Dandelion Lane" and the yarn I used reminded me of a Dandelion growing out of a street. Amazing little resilient plants! Also - the shawl has Glitter. Most things are better with Glitter.

This is a more recent project, finished last December; therefore the slightly crappy lighting. It's super flowy and delicate, made with lace-weight yarn. And it has glitter! Swipe to the close-up to actually see some of the sparkles.

Happy #caturday ! Lewis likes to help with my projects, especially if they are soft.
This cowl/hood combination sounded like a great idea and it was really pretty... but it did not suit me at all. I looked so ridiculous in it that I could only let BB-8 model it. :lol: Seriously, I looked like a Jawa. But hey, practice and all that, so all was fine and had its purpose. :-)

Oh, I almost forgot about this beauty! I used 2 Yarncakes and alternated them; I ended up using about 1824 m yarn. It's a pattern by a polish designer, essentially it's just charts and I was so proud that I managed to make it. Being able to read crochet charts opens up a whole new world beyond language barriers. I love it.

#throwback to the first test crochet I did. I love the little clouds in the design and the pastel colors of the yarn.
Bonus picture of how I block most of my shawls - I stretch them pinned with clothespins on the catnet on my balcony... That day the sky was even matching the shawl. :smiley:

Forgot to take progress pictures for #wipwednesday , that's why you get a crappy 5am-before-leaving-for-work picture. :lol:
This pattern is a pure variation of SC stitches. I can't work too long on it because quite honestly, SC stitches bore me, that's why I am normally drawn to the complex lacy patterns. Nevertheless... the braiding for this one is very cleverly constructed. I'm using my Cthulu Advent 2024 Krakenyarns handdyed yarn and it's really wonderful. :heart:

Sometimes I make things because I'm intruiged with the construction. Like this sleeved shawl. I thought it might be a really cool accessory for those chilly office days. Well... Unfortunately, a sleeved shawl works not for me. It feels a bit like a straight jacket and gives me T-Rex Arms. :shrug:
Ah well, it was totally worth a try.

More crochet Raffia Summerhat Goodness! This one is big, outrageous and I love it. I didn't have a matching scarf for this blue, so I adorned it with a random gift-ribbon.

Before we dive into more hats, let's do #wipwednesday . I have a few WIPs going, but I'm rather intruiged with that one. LOTS of bobbles in many variations, so much structure. It's going to be spectacular. :-)

Pattern: Lucky moments by Julita Janicka (I adore her designs!)
Yarn: 3ply cotton/polyacryl blend from a Bobbelscheune Adventcalendar
