Here’s an update on my attempt to knit. It’s not perfect but it’s coming out pretty. I do love the color combination! And, it’s so soft!

Thanks so much!! I’m closer to 6ft and I personally find crochet to be a lot faster! I guess it also depends on the stitch you use and if you prefer knitting or crochet because I know some people are speedy knitters!

I made this cloak for my friend’s wedding and I’ve never spent so long on a project before - it took over a month to make! I’m really pleased with how it turned out though 😁💜🖤🧶

Absolutely in love with how this jellyfish hat turned out. The pattern is by StarStitchCrochett on Etsy! 🧶

Grape Baby Beanie! 🧶🍇

Made this as a gift for a friend's baby shower. I used the bubble stitch for the grape cluster body. The stem is a continuation from decreasing the beanie down to 6 stitches, and the vines are i-cords that I cinched with a back and forth stitch to make them curly.

Knit baby beanie that looks like a bunch of grapes. The body is knit in purple yarn in the bubble stitch and the top is light green to look like leaves. A small stem and two curly vines stick out from the top of the beanie. It is the definition of adorable.

I made these a few years ago, but they are still my favorite spooky knit #showmeyourknits #knitting 🧶

Front and back of the jack o' lantern pattern. You can definitely tie off ends and make the backs cleaner for totes or blankets, but for tapestries, I kind of like seeing the yarn carries.

Thank you so much!! It was certainly a challenge and I made about 100 granny squares but it was worth the effort! 😁

Dexter Lune @dexterlune.bsky.social · 1d

I’m actually in the process of recreating it and will be posting it for free when I have some time! 😊 However you can find some tutorials for star and moon granny squares on YouTube and just need to make enough squares to fit your measurements! (One back panel, two front panels, and two sleeves)

Thank you! 😁

Dexter Lune @dexterlune.bsky.social · 2d

Here’s my star and moon! I’ve never written a pattern for granny squares before so this was a challenge but I’m really happy with how they both turned out!

I’m hoping to start up a YouTube channel soon and post tutorials for these patterns and more 😁🧶

A little pouch for earbuds or other small items: of course, when I leave them out as Random Acts Of Crochet Kindness, I put a few sweeties inside.

I’ve decided to draw the 22 Major Arcana tarot cards and am really pleased with the border!

Final sweater done! The sleeves on this one were a bit ridiculous but I really wanted the full stripe effect and it was worth the effort 🕷️💜
