Two Color Owl Doily
  • Thank you. Yes and no. If you're a really tight knotter then yes it helps open it up a ton. But if you're loose then it doesn't help as much other than the usual stabilization.

    Two Color Owl Doily

    I'll link the pattern once I relocate it. My wife wanted one after I made a few this past year with a single color. I think it came out pretty good this time. Practice makes perfection.

    Everyday is like living through spring summer fall and winter.

    I was just thinking that you could loosely look at each day being the four seasons. Morning is spring, afternoon is summer, evening is fall, and night is winter.

    EDIT: Seems a lot of people are having difficulty understanding a loose comparison.

    Filet pattern generators

    I recently created a simple pattern generator from black and white images (aka 2 colors) using powershell. Anyone interested in it here is the script. You sadly have to enable scripts or copy paste the whole thing into a powershell ISE window. Make sure to update the file names. I haven't cleaned it up yet as I just barely got the logic side of it functioning. I did borrow stuff from a lot of sources and I will come back and edit this post to give credit where I can. It inverts the image so the pattern starts at the bottom of an image and then inverts every other line for when you rotate your workpiece.

    I'm thinking of making something similar in something like Python to make it less OS specific. I'm debating also increasing it to making grid patterns instead of just text for those who like graphic images more. Here is an example of the text output for something I'm making as a gag gift for my sibling.

    EDIT: File has been updated to prompt for file location and will save the pattern file in the same directory as the script using the input file's name. Please note that you will want to make sure your input file is black and white and small dimensions or it'll take forever. It will do the job regardless of the file size it just takes a very long time. Plus I don't know anyone that wants to filet a blanket using an image that is 1920x1080..... :P

    Last Edit for this version: It will prompt to save. If you double click on a file to copy it's filename and hit save it'll say you're overwriting but you're actually not. It'll save with a .txt extension thus preserving the original. This is a default warning from microsoft so if there is a way to change it I'm not bothered to find out. It'll accept you keeping the extension in the name field or removing it as I've checked for both contingencies. Overall this is pretty much a complete package. I hope this helps someone.

    Hollow Knight - Hornet Amigurumi by 1UpCrochet

    Made the second pattern by 1UpCrochet this weekend. For some reason starting a magic circle with 3 sc is really difficult. Really struggled with getting the tension the same on both horn tips.

  • Thanks! I had to stitch in a string from the inside of the horns that meets in the middle of the head to make enough tension to hold the horns in the right position. They kept flopping outward to the sides for some reason.

  • Let's build a community for all who are interested in crochet. Why don't we start with a little conversation on how everyone got into the craft?
  • I've been doing this since November of 2022. I like finding natural fibers all over my yard and neighborhood so I realized making rope wasn't going to be the end all. My sister tried teaching me as a kid but seeing some of the amigurumi on Reddit made me want to try again. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start making my own yarn and dying them for projects. Eventually I'd like to either buy or make my own spinning wheel and make fabric on a loom.
