First vs Latest finished project

so I recently found the very first thing I ever crocheted and completed
(free handed because I’m allergic to following patterns)

Additional photos



And yk, it ain’t bad, I still love the little critter
I may even remake him… we’ll see tho
Even if it’s inside out and a little ugly :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:


And then two years (and some amount of months) later I made this lil freak :face_with_hand_over_mouth:also freehanded, my pattern allergy remains strong :pensive_face::wilted_flower:

And here’s both side by side :ogre:


I think I got slightly better /silly


Feel free to reply with your projects, Im really interested to see what-progress y’all made since starting :]

And for anyone who is considering learning how to freehand, I highly recommend it— it’s such an invaluable skill :) also because I am too broke and lazy to buy patterns :skull:

Story of my life oml ā˜ ļø

So my first ever projects were just little squares if you could even categorize those as a shape :moai: and then grandma taught me how to make a chain ring so then I made lil circles but they were all funny because I didn’t increase enough, most of those have been lost to the fossil record :pensive_face: it was like 7-8 years ago lol

And then I got a crochet kit for a cute lil penguin plushie :raising_hands:
Instructions were in British terms and I found American term tutorials so it all came out twice the size because apparently my single crochets were American term double crochets :sob:…

So I gave up and didn’t make anything for 3/4 years :grin: i frogged it for yarn I only have pics of the box

penguin kit


AINT HE A HANDSOME LIL FELLA i might actually get to making him :thinking:

Now, this current era started almost a year ago, I saw some lil whale crocheted keychains and, me being me, I wanted to have one… And then :sparkles:enlightenment​:sparkles: I used to be able to crochet, can I get back into it?


And infodump over, off to the main event

My first make in this period of crochet:


i use the lil goober as a pincushion :moai: a reminder that I’m not that bad but still nothing doesn’t look good enough :sob:
pattern on YouTube and literally anywhere, there’s whale patterns everywhere :sob:


And I got into micro crochet…
My first micro,


my freehand variation
And my latest and for now the only other micro :moai:

my first project was a bunch of chains that i called ā€œgarlandsā€ (the concept of gaslighting)-i don’t have any pictures unfortunately

the first project i made while following a pattern was a star stitch bookmark, but for some reason i can’t find it lol
