Any Fiber Artists Here?

[juniper-fairy12]

Hello!
I'm new to this site and I noticed a ton of cool posts about digital art. My main hobby is knit/crochet though, so I was wondering if there are any other fiber artists here? I have a ton of experience and would love to talk to someone about the craft and share patterns etc.

I crochet and sew, though I haven't done it in month because of my hands.    I am particularly into hyperbolic crochet, because it is fun and cool and you can make fake coral reefs with it! but it's not super useful for making like, practical things. I think that crochet is especially good for math art. at one point I tried to crochet a bunch of mathematical knots, but I did not get very far before getting distracted. I also like making sweaters with too many arms (was working on one with 4 arms) and I was working on making a pigeon hat, but I don't know how long all of that will have to be on hold for, crochet is very hard on my hands. I don't like using patterns very much tbh, I prefer to learn generally how something works and then improvise, taking only parts from some patterns if I need a little extra help.


I am also very into visible mending!! I am currently working on a big project with this sweater I have that has soo many holes in it. I have a lot of thoughts about visible mending, but I am tired so i won't write them here right now.

I am also trying to make a plushie of that worm from the labyrinth.

I knit and crochet! I'm currently working on a mood blanket (it's like those a year in pixels apps but instead each day is a row) and a cardigan. Both are slow going, though, as I often end up doing various other things instead of those. In the past, though, I've made a striped scarf, two beanies and a giraffe plushie.

I knit, crochet, and quilt!

I use to make fursuits a bunch! I haven't really sewn much in ages though. I've been eyeing a plushie idea I really wanna make, but the pattern and materials cost moneeyyy :( Oh well lmao. Maybe one day!

I knit, sew, embroider, and cross stitch! (:

I spend most of my time cross stitching but I've been interested in getting into crochet, it's just one of those things I never got the hang of haha. I have a hook [that I used for knitting] but it seems to be too big for most of my yarn

I have tried knitting a couple times and want to get into crochet, but my one true fiber arts love is needle felting (dry). It's really cool how you can make little soft figures and gadgets by stabbing a couple bundles of wool many many times.

I have made a bunch of little animals and creatures... I currently have a needle felting project that's almost complete, but I sadly don't have access to my supplies right now

I crochet ! I can kind of knit but get frustrated easily at my current speed . One of my recently completed crochet projects is This mushroom kitty that I made for a friend, I had a great time with it!  I'm currently trying to focus on cleaning up my yarn stash, which has led to me wanting to to frog and redo my scrap blanket. It's currently row-by-row and I want to rework it to be center-out; so it would be possible to go on forever and the proportions be OK. One one hand I think it's a good idea, on the other hand I always do stuff like this !

I'd be a bit bold to say that I'm a fiber artist because I'm still a beginner, but recently I started crocheting and I'm having a lot of fun with it! I've been trying to do amigurumis, and my first actual project was Miles Edgeworth from Ace Attorney. It didn't turn out as good as I thought it would, but I think it's good enough for my first time. Then, I made a bag for my dnd dice, and I'm very happy with it! Here's the pictures I took of them:

Now I'm working on doing more amigurumi figures, cause I want to make my partner's ocs as a birthday gift

 I do cross stitch  I've tried to learn crochet and knitting several times but it just doesn't 'click'  for me. cross stitch does  though it helps that it's basically just ye olde pixel art

I love the knit kitty sweater you made, Juniper! 

I used to crochet a ton ( & am currently trying to get back into it--I still need to upload pics, but I recently crocheted a matching sweater + tanktop bc I found some gradient yarn that inspired me ^^ )

before that, I really got into cross-stitching! I mostly just did Klimt reproduction kits, and I found it pretty relaxing (AND the finished projects became really nice wall decor)

ooh, I don't think I've ever heard of hyperbolic crochet before glitterpigeon! that sounds like such a fun stress-reducing way to crochet 

visible mending is such a cool way to prolong the life of clothes (plus the look of it is so neat!!) I've also been getting interesting in trying some different techniques on my more hole-y garments, but I'm currently still at the stage of just having a bunch of sashiko stitch tutorials bookmarked & no actual attempts made yet

I crochet and do some embroidery but I'm better at crochet. I've made a lot of hats, some stuffies, a lot of bandanas and a tank top that looks like a sack but at least I finished it!

Embroidery takes so much time and delicateness, it seems like. Mine always looks messier than it should!

[magicalgurll]

i crochet!!! i've been doing it for abouuuut two and a half years i think? i got into it because i saw someone making dolls of d&d characters and, after seeing cute amigurumi for ages, that finally pushed me over the edge into learning, but i've mostly ended up making wearables...

here's some of my work!!!

collapsed for length!

is anyone else on ravelry? only social media site worth anything tbh. my username is nidorina!!

i also theoretically sew, but i'm not actually very good at it lmao... i don't do it super often (which is part of why i guess)

[marycuntrarian]

Ahhh those dresses are amazing!! I recently crocheted a whole shirt and it is definitely shirt shaped but lacks... prettiness. lol
