In 2023 made hats so my wife and I could beBert and Ernie from Sesame Street! We wear them every chance we get. This was a freehand project and I tell you it took me three tries to get the shape of Bertās head just right!

Wow, I looove the Bert and Ernie hat! Itās so impressive to freehand something like that
and you two look so happy in it. Iād thought for a while about crocheting something for a costume and this is really inspiring to see
I would love the tiny combo meal, itās just so cute
Thanks there werenāt any good patterns available so I had no choice, sometimes ya just gotta freehand! But I learned to crochet before the internet so I grew up doing that.
If you decide to make something, be sure to share it with us all!
Aww tysm, itās good to see you @crochetingcryptids ! Lmk if you want to be tagged in tester calls again later this month, you always do such amazing work!
Yes please, I would love to! I may or may not be able to participate bcos most of my yarn is still states away at my momās house and I donāt have a ton of color options BUT I definitely wanna get notified and do my best to make it work :D
yum avocados, they are so delicious and cute.
Ha luckily the hats werenāt any harder than a plushie. This summer I crocheted a top in lace weight yarn! It took a long time but it was worth it, I love wearing it. But I agree, I usually stick to accessories since they are so much faster than an entire garment.
really? I made a āhatā as one of my first projects. With on and off crocheting it took around two years for me to finally finish it. I donāt know if it could be called a hat thoughā¦also in the middle of that one I started making a beanie which to this day is still unfinished and probably collecting dust somewhere in the house lol
LOL Iāve been crocheting for decades so believe me, Iām sure I have some UFO skeletons in my closet, too. I think the best thing about crafting is you can make things you enjoy making. If you donāt like making garments, then there are a thousand other things you can focus on.
I absolutely love how cute you and your wife look in the Bert and Ernie hats! I love to see adult creators live their best life as being a part of the queer community, it is really inspiratory for me as a kid being a part of the LGBTQ+. It gives me hope that I can be who I want to be in society and that it is alright to be different, so thank you. I like all the designs you have been making in your shop, and your shop should get a lot more credit because there were so many designs that I thought were really cute. If I did win, which, if I did that would be amazing, I would either want the Summer Fun bundle or your Christmas Cheer Bundle. Please and Thank You! Donāt stop crocheting, youāve got some real talent, and you should keep on keeping on
Someone that I saw who is really cool that should win is @ShortClarice
Aww thanks so much @GingerSnap0309! Yes absolutely be true to yourself.
it can take a while to figure out what that means for you and to find a safe place to express it. I didnāt really get there til my 30s but finally listened to myself, then met my wife and we have been so happy. It is possible but can take a lot of work and time to get there so hang in there and keep being you!
Thank you so much for the compliments on my work, I love creating cute things!
Yay everyone who commented is a winner! Iāll send prizes soon. Thank you all for the warm welcome back and looking forward to seeing yāall around on Ribblr.
