Crocheting is a grandma hobby apparently

I got into crocheting because I saw a colorblock knit cardigan and I wanted one but it was expensive. Why not learn a new hobby and spend much more on yarn and personal time than the original clothing item that drew inspiration?

My first ever crochet wearable:

I’ve made a couple of bucket hats and headbands to learn the skill before making the cardigan. She has beginner mistakes (like just simply knotting yarn together without ends to weave in) but she’s holding strong a couple of years in. 

I made a granny hexagon cardigan in the trans flag colors for my sister. Here’s Eggsy giving his seal of approval. 

A pullover with waffle stitch for the body and sunflower granny squares for the arms in worsted cotton. She’s a heavy one. 

Another pullover. A lighter yarn this time, it’s so cozy. 

A waffle stitch blanket. It’s my favorite stitch and it’s a yarn eater so this small blanket is quite hefty. Cali approves though. 

I typed this up on my phone to try out Pagecord’s email to post. Will formatting transfer? Let’s see. (It does.)
