How did you learn to crochet? When people used to

How did you learn to crochet?When people used to ask me this question, I used to feel almost embarrassed that I didn't have this great story like my grandmother taught me when I was 7 or that it was something that was passed down to me. It seemed that most of the folks I spoke with started crocheting like that.But then I thought "I would NEVER judge someone else for learning this way. Why the hell am I judging myself?" Just because I didn't share THAT story, didn't make my story less interesting or worthy of telling - it just made it different.My grandmother attempted to teach me to crochet as a child but I was a disaster - I could never figure it out. I always wanted to learn but it just didn't click. After having my daughter, I was desperate to learn (because c'mon, cute baby bonnets!) my Aunt and I attended a crochet class @michaelsstores and it FINALLY clicked. After that I took every book I could find on crochet out of the library and learned as much as I could. Many things I've figured out on my own through trial and error or just being willing to try something different. And that's how Kaya the Koala came to be. I saw a ball of fur yarn and although I was intimidated, I gave it a shot anyways and fell in love <3So I would love to hear all the maker stories! Tell me yours below :DViewing this on FB?

I used to really hate frogging my work and althoug

I used to really hate frogging my work and although it still upsets me sometimes, I choose to either focus on what else I could make with the yarn or to move on to something else entirely.While I was excited to start this project, I kind of lost steam and it just wasn’t working out for what I wanted it to become. I could’ve made it smaller and started again but I think I need to either use this yarn for something else. It just wouldn’t have been the right yarn for this specific project. I’ll come back to this eventually when I’m feeling more inspired. For now, I’ll follow my inspiration and I’m excited to see what’s next.What do you do when you don’t feel inspired?#moderncrochet #marymaxim #crochet #crocheter #froggingsucks #crochetgeek #crochetwip #crochetreels #crochetlife #crochetforinstagram #humansthatyarn #crochetinspo #yarnaddict #instacrocheter #crochetgirlgang #yarnpunk

Do I LOVE it when I match my nails to my yarn and or crochet hook? Yes. Yes I do.But matching my yarn, hook shirt, nails AND glasses? That’s some next level serotonin releasing right there 😍 Extra points because it’s in my favourite colour to wear. Me and this shade of blue are besties for life. Do you like to match your crochet stuff with your nails or am I just a big weirdo?Nail colour for anyone wondering is @essie Butler Please (my new favourite Essie shade)Hook: Aquarius Streamline by @furlscrochet Yarn: mighty stitch in celestial by @wecrochetofficial Glasses top frame from @paireyewear #crochet #crochetlife #crochetstyle #furlscrochet #essielove #crocheter #crochethook #moderncrochet #crochetgeek #crochetinspiration #crochetdesigner #crochetforinstagram #crochetgram #crochetgirlgang #crochetlifestyle #igcrochet #humansthatyarn #crochetaddict #yarnaddict #instacrocheter #crochetreels

I can’t believe I forgot to show this to you! W

I can’t believe I forgot to show this to you! When the #enidsnood went crazy, I was looking all over for the perfect rainbow yarn colours to make a rainbow version of the Enid Snood. Then @furlscrochet came out with these gorgeous new Wander yarn colours and they were perfection 😍I made some slight changes to this snood to give one side a bit of texture and to even out the colour changes. But seriously, the rainbow colours make me so happy 😍 and I love how colourful this is.As I get older, I don’t feel as much pressure to conform or wear muted colours. I’ve often felt in the past that I should wear darker colours to blend in and kind of mute myself. But I have always loved bright colours and rainbows so I figure, why not wear them? Life’s too short to wear stuff that doesn’t make you smile and your heart sing. #whyfitinwhenyouwereborntostandout🤔😍😍 Are you team bright colours or are you team neutrals?The Enid Snood is available as a free pattern on my blog and includes a step-by-step video tutorial!

After spending the morning at the urgent care with my daughter, we are finally home. My poor girl has had some kind of allergic reaction to something and woke up covered in hives.While she rests, I’m getting in a few rounds on one of the crochet projects that I’ve been working on behind-the-scenes. I typically do most of my crocheting after the kids are in bed so it feels a bit strange crocheting in the middle of the day instead of doing admin work.How many hours a week would you say that you spend crocheting?Yarn: @lionbrandyarn Go For FauxHook: @furlscrochet pride streamline#crochetmama #crochetlife #crochetdesigner #fauxfuryarn #lionbrandyarn #amigurumi #crocheter #crocheting #crochetreels #crochetinspiration #crochetcommunity #igcrochet #goforfaux #crochettoys #amigurumianimal #amigurumiaddict #crochetlover #crocheteveryday #crochetgeek #moderncrochet #instacrocheting #crochetmoments

I had so much fun designing my latest free crochet

I had so much fun designing my latest free crochet pattern, the My Favourite Festival Purse that I just had to share it again. I have taken this purse everywhere since I made it and have gotten so many compliments. Don’t you just love when people are shocked you made something? It never gets old for me 😂I love the bright, beautiful colour of the @knitznpurlz tshirt yarn that I used for this design. I love my purses and accessories to add a pop of colour or boldness to my outfit. What colour would/will you make your own crochet purse in? Do you like neutral colours or are you like me and like purses with a pop of colour?Find the free version of this design on my blog theloopylamb.com.Viewing this on fb?

It’s a rainy day here and I’m FINALLY getting to sit back down with this wip that I started last week using @marymaximofficial prism yarn. That navy blue colour near the top is gorgeous and I wish the entire ball of yarn was that colour 😍. But the posts in this design do help to blend out those colour transitions. My plan is to make this into a water bottle bag/cozy but I have a feeling I may have to play a bit of yarn chicken if I want to use only one ball of yarn 😱. I drink a LOT of water and typically use a 1L bottle everyday. What size water bottle do you use?#sharewithmary #springyarnsatmm #marymaxim #crochetwip #crocheting #furlscrochet #crochetproject #crochetmama #crocheter #igcrochet #igcrochetcommunity #crochetreels #crochetdesign #yarnpunk #yarninspiration #yarnie #humansthatyarn #crochetwaterbottleholder
