Progress on this sweater

I’ve discovered I hate working with any yarn that’s thinner than typical acrylic yarn. But this yarn was so pretty I knew I wanted it for this sweater. #crochet #crochetsweater #crochetdiary

... Read moreWhen embarking on a crochet project, the choice of yarn is critical. Many crocheters have found that working with finer yarn can be challenging, leading to frustration and uneven tension in stitches. However, sticking to your preferred yarn thickness can yield beautiful results. For aspiring sweater designers, exploring a variety of yarns is crucial. Not only does it affect the drape and final appearance of the sweater, but also the comfort and warmth. Quality yarn can enhance stitching techniques and lead to a delightful crafting experience. Popular yarn choices include cotton for lightweight designs, wool for warmth, and acrylic for versatility and ease of care. Engaging with the crochet community through social media, like Instagram or dedicated forums, can provide inspiration and support throughout your project. Sharing progress with hashtags like #crochetsweater can connect you with other crafters who may offer useful advice or showcase their projects, keeping motivation high. As you create your sweater, remember to take breaks to assess your work. This reflection can help improve your technique and ensure you love the finished piece. Happy crocheting!

Halibut Sweater Update
So it turns out I can’t post more than 60 second clips on here so I’ll just have to film shorter updates. For now here’s a photo of my progress on my Halibut sweater. I made some progress since this photo was taken and I’m about 15 rows away from finishing the colorwork section of this pattern. #k

Hey guys, thanks so much for the support and suggestions on my last post. I know some of you had questions for updates or follow ups but I didn’t want to provide one until I can give a ACTUAL progress photos. (I don’t think it’s been exactly one month but long enough to see results for sure)

How it's going: I taught myself how to knit in two days; how to cast on🫠, how to purl, and knit stitch. I made mistakes multiple times on the collar, had to frog it a bunch and restart, but I was determined.💪🏼 After taking my time and a LOT of reassurance from my mom who knows how to knit,

Not all great progress ends in crazy weight loss
This got a lot of hate when I first posted it one of my groups because my progress pic doesn’t end with weight loss… now reposting a year later, it didn’t end at all. When I first posted this a year ago, I posted because I was proud of my bulk, even when I was soo scared of gaining weight.
