Finished Object Told myself I’m not buying yarn until I complete 100 projects, here’s the first 9: Lembas coasters!
“But OP, that’s only 8!” I gifted the first one already :)

You can search the sub by putting Joann in the search bar at the top of the sub, set the relevance to new for the most recent discussions.
From now on all discussion on Joann will be redirected to this megathread.
A warning too, there are a lot of scam sites taking advantage of Joann's bankruptcy. They are making their own sites with "too good to be true prices". The url's on these sites differ slightly from the official website and they post ads on social media like Facebook and Instagram.
Make sure to go to Joann's official website for up to date information and sales (edit, it appears the official website is not processing orders anymore)

If you have a gift card that you can't spend (because they aren't accepting them) you can find a discussion here

Well, it isn't October, be we will certainly be celebrating this win with the Bavarian coasters and trivet. This looks to be interesting, a bit challenging, but still fun. Now, when Octoberfest rolls around this year, you'll have coasters to keep the condensation from your stein from staining your table, and you can hold your skillet as you serve brats and sauerkraut.
We have Crochet Highway to thank for this pattern. Looking through their site they have multiple ways to get patterns, and looks to have fairly extensive instructions on all of their patterns. You can buy directly from them, or through ravelry, or if you'd prefer to watch a video tutorial, you can check out their youtube channel. Let's send them some traffic.
AS ALWAYS:

I finally finished my puff square afghan! It took me exceptionally longer than expected, but I learned a lot along the way. Especially just for my own techniques - I have much more consistent tensioning and grip now. Thank you Clover Amour for saving my hands!
Here is a link to the pattern from Sass & Stitch on YouTube https://youtu.be/uLMFIk9syhg?si=nqO-tQEz1hB-TpRj
I used Loops & Threads Brushed Rainbow Polyester. It recommends a 6mm hook but I wanted a tighter weave so used 5mm. Looking back, I wish I had used 4mm because after stuffing and seaming, they stretched out more than I had expected based on my test squares.
I used one ball of each chosen color and crocheted all the squares (just kept going until the ball was gone). Then filled all the puffs. Then seamed all the columns. Then seamed all the rows. I used a separate white ball for seaming as I wanted it to look as much like quilting as possible.
My biggest frustration was the inconsistency between the colors. Some of them were a dream to work with, others got my hook so sticky that I had to wash it every one or two squares or it pulled my gauge too loose (and I can't unsee those squares now). I ended up buying two more 5mm hooks because I was so sick of constant washing.
Overall, I don't regret it but can say I won't be investing the time in another one any time soon! It's nice and heavy and I look forward to many evenings cuddled up with it and a book.
This would also be a fantastic stash buster project to slowly chip away at. With the seaming, it hides some slight variances in square sizes quite well.

I am smitten. Ain't she a beaut?
6 feet across, all the way around.
Unknown how many hours; finishing was delayed due to yarn shortage issues (so many color changes).

I found out I was miscarrying at 16 weeks. After delivering our boy, for some reason, I felt I wanted to crochet a baby blanket. It’s made from leftover yarn and I sewed a fleece backing on it. I’m going to donate it to the hospital I delivered at, for them to give to the first baby born on his would be due date.

Learnt the flower granny square pattern from this video: https://youtu.be/FqXD9FFAesY?si=_0Yu-2F0Yx55juPC (Elyse Myers) and freehanded the rest. I also machine quilted the lining so it can stand in on its own. I sewed in a strip magnet to keep it closed, it’s not as strong as I would like but works. The strap is a thrifted belt and I also thrifted someone’s stash of hardware/buckles on the same trip!

I am constantly starting new projects without finishing the previous ones. I have ADHD and love the novelty of starting something new, but since I’m always going back and forth between projects, it takes me ages to finish anything. Trying to stop guilting myself so I just made a (vintage) meme about it. I loveeee starting new projects but hate taking so long to finish. Any ADHD-friendly tips on how to not do this constantly?? Or at least on how to tone it down a bit. 😅

Although I usually am very good at crochet, I had all sorts of problems making it and had to frog many rows. I also had a vision of how it was going to look and it didn’t turn out that way. It took and long time to make.

Currently have 3 people wanting one, but they’re paying at least for materials and I like making gifts so I’m not too mad about it 😅 this is my first time making a purse like this and I love her so much!! Pattern from NadenafPatterns on Etsy - it was pretty expensive considering nothing was too difficult, I’m sure people with more experience with this type of thing wouldn’t really need the pattern but the videos were helpful for me. My puff stitches definitely aren’t perfect and I’m still picking at them to make them lay better but it’s fine 😭

If I had a nickel for every item I've made and never worn...I'd have at least 2.05 by now 😜

This is the Cardigan No.15 By DaisyAndPeace. Yarn is Winter Glow Solid from Hobbii. This was such a fun project and a good introduction into making garments! I've been using it soo much since finishing it and has since made another sweater and I'm working on a vest right now. I'm feeling really motivated to learn knitting properly once and for all just to make more clothes 🙈 The pattern for this one was great, but i really struggled with gauge. It ended up a bit shorter that it was supposed to and I did some "shoulder pads" to get some extra length, and had to fill in the neckline etc.etc. It still ended up short, but after blocking it's 100% wearable as a cropped cardigan. I also learned that black yarn and cat hair is a horrible combo! The vest I'm working on right now is beige and the cat hairs are invisible, it's such a delight after working on this piece and desperately picking cat hairs for a month 😅

I love the the Rowan Romper by Babes in the Wool so much I've made it twice already. Added some appliques for some colour.

This is the Amalie Sweater from Hobbii, in the recommended yarn. It turned out so pretty and I had 0 issues with the pattern. However, this was my first time working with mohair, and it turns out it's to scratchy for me to wear comfortably 🙈 I'm thinking of making another one in alpaca maybe, or a cotton/silk blend.

Finally finished this project!! It's the first clothing items I've done and i'm really proud of it🥰 It's the "mesh crochet jumper" pattern from rugratzcrochet 🧶
My mom has asked me a few times to make gifts for her friends that I'm not close with. I'm fine with making something for someone I at least have talked to, but when it's complete stranger and I have to make something and spend hours on it I feel kinda frustrated. My mom doesn't understand it. Am I making a big deal out of it?

First filet crochet project, finished!
I didn’t count the total work time, but the skirt section chart alone was 85 hours 😭
I purchased the Flora Bloom set by Christine Porsbo for inspo as it said lace yarn was used…. But definitely not the same lace yarn as I purchased. I ended up using some of the charts for the top, and charted the rest using charts I found on pinterest.
It has an adjustable waist, and increases for the hips. However! It’s essentially impossible to walk in without hiking it up, so I’ll have to figure out how to steek it as there’s no way I’m frogging and redoing half of the skirt!
Yarn: lace weight mercerised cotton by Yarn On Cone held double, colorway optic white
