I started crocheting last June ☺ Here are some of my favourites, starting with the most recent :)

XL dice bag with a triceratops skeleton on it. Crocheted in the round with tapestry crochet

For some reason the full body photo I took doesn’t want to load properly, but lovely warm elongated pullover with a high neck. My first raglan project. I have two balls of this yarn left over, contemplating making a hood for the sweater 🤔 might look weird with how high the neck is, though. Open to suggestions on what else to make with this yarn!

Going to be making a full crocodile stitch set with this yarn soon, but for now, crocodile stitch fingerless gloves ☺ really love this yarn. Very pretty and super soft.

I utterly adore this shawl, though I do wish I made it a bit wider. Sadly got a small stain on it recently, will try to get it out soon.

This sweater isn’t finished yet, but really happy with the colourwork. One of my first projects done this way, and it was a huge pain LOL

will have to retake photos because the others don’t want to load for some reason, but I love this shrug, even though I hated most of the process of making it LOL

Good ol’ Canada eh!
I love your crocheting!! I need to make more clothes…I have been requested to make a custom crochet cat, it is in a sleeping position, and I have to paint it and everything. Must be realistic to their cat. I’m excited for how it turns out. I’ll post pics when I’m done.

So excited to see what you come up with!

I’ve not made much OTHER than clothing, honestly, I should branch out :)

Thank you so much! ☺ I have ADHD, so crochet was a hyper focus for a while. Made me improve pretty quick :) currently can’t knit or do Tunisian for the life of me, though!
You can do more than I can, I only knit. Did a crochet class with Mum back in the day and we both decided "Nah, not for us!"

That will be fascinating - look forward to seeing it (no pressure here, lol).

I tried to crochet when I was a teenager and could never get the hang of it. I actually did better learning to knit than I did crochet!

Same! I didn't start knitting till I was in my fifties (I'd learned long before but wasn't interested). But crochet baffles me. I listen in when someone's learning at the knitting/crochet groups I attend, and can't get my head around it at all. Fortunately I only want to make knitwear for myself!

I was so into music and art as a kid and teenager, but I could NEVER get craft things to look right. I didn't even attempt knitting until recently. I'm still not all that good, but, I can make yarn into something other than a ball at least!

That's a beautiful piece with a beautiful supervisor (bored or not!)
I was into hand drawing. I was quite good at one point, but, like everything else, you use it or lose it. I tried to draw a little random drawing for fun in the appointment book yesterday and erased it because it was SO bad looking. 🤣

Oh god same here! I haven't drawn in ten years or so, I shudder to think how bad it would be now.
You know the one thing I could never draw well? Cats! But then when I look at cat paintings by even famous artists, I don't feel too bad.

The only cats I could draw were from the lion King! I was obsessed with that movie when it came out. 🦁
