The Lost Garden by Helen Shrimpton crochet blanket (still working on it). Love how bright it is4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/RainbowEverything
It's raining, not a lot but it's lovely laying here in the quiet listening to the rain after all the heat, wind and fire. I hope we get more rain, it will help with the fires so much. One nest for injured wildlife has turned into three, still going to make more (in Australia if that wasn't clear)4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Bobby pins make attaching parts really easy. They hold things in place better than pins and there is no risk of poking holes in your fingers5yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Galaxy Catcher Mandela mounted on a hula hoop. (Pattern and another pic in comments)4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Got a surprise delivery from my dad, can't wait to try it out! I'll have to be super careful with my tension so I don't snap the hooks, the small ones seem a bit fragile2yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
The Lost Garden by Helen Shrimpton completed pattern. Needs to be bigger still so freehanding/repeating pattern from now on.4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet

My first bird and rodent nest to help the wildlife injured in the Australian bushfires4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Opinions needed. I've been freehanding as the pattern finished already, do you think the edges are too ruffled or will some decreases on the next few rows even it out a little? (And blocking when done)4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Amigurumi assembly line. I like the crochet part more than the sewing together part5yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet

Here is my finished project! I think the needle felted face worked out pretty well4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/Needlefelting
Sophie's universe up to part 5. My short edges aren't straight, even rippling a little but my stitch count is correct. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I just keep going?4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Blocking my skull scarf. It wouldn't sit straight so now it has diamond shaped sides6yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet

Opinions on colour choice? For a bedspread in a fairly plain room (no particular scheme, beige carpets, dark wood stained furniture). For an older couple. Tried a family vote and tied. Will be Sophie's universe/Sacred space style, haven't figured out which yet4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
I thought this was just a fluffy bit of yarn but it's a loose stitch. This yarn is impossible to frog 😭5yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
What are some good afghan/blanket patterns for twirls? I quite like the lotus flower afghan and I do like Sophie's universe but I'm a bit worried that it might be a bit complicated for me. (I have 5249 yards, 6 skeins)4yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
I have 800gms of this chunky mixed fibre yarn. Is there a way I can look for patterns based on 800gms or does anyone have suggestions for what I could make?6yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
I changed color by pulling the new color thru the last loop but when I get back 2 the color change the yarn is at the bottom of the stitches. How do I do color changes with DC using bobbins? I hope that makes sense, I've included a photo to hopefully help5yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
Can anyone explain or link me to a video on how to use SC to connect. Also does the left side mean the inside or outside of the amigurumi?6yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
The stuffing is very noticeable. How do I make my decrease holes smaller? Or do you not worry about it?6yr ⋅ LovelyLu78 ⋅ r/crochet
