Hello again steemians! <3 As I mentioned in my first post, I started a crochet business out of my travel trailer. Now I'm my own boss doing what I love! I still have a long way to go in terms of achieving all my goals- but it has been an incredible, humbling, and liberating ride. :)
I wanted to share one of the designs that I am most proud of with y'all. This dress ate up about 1400 yards of yarn and 70 hours of time. It is like wearing a giant cozy blanket!
Inspired by a lotus flower and definitely worth all the hand cramping! Twirling in this dress is pure bliss. Here I am demonstrating its magicalness in my favorite meadow! <3
I hope you all get to experience a spin this satisfying! It makes me feel like a kid again. :) What brings out your inner child?
<3
For me, watching seeds sprout makes me feel like a kid!
<3 Love it!
It's gorgeous! I love your creations!
Thanks beauty! <3
Amazing photos .... and gif..... upVOTED
Thank you :) xx
So impressive! I taught myself to crochet about a year and a half ago (thank you, YouTube! Haha) and I'm loving it. I just can't get over how cool it is to twist yarn around and pop out something like this! (Except I have yet to put together anything quite so gorgeous.)
Aww! Thank you so much! xx It is a lot like magic! <3
Great cotton dress!
Thank you! <3
thanks for upvoting my Japan post- i follow you now -David
Thanks David! I follow you as well :)
nice connection
I am sincerely impressed! I crocheted as kid in 4-H, but this takes the craft to a new level! What a gorgeous swirl on that dress! Nice work :)
This design is beautiful! What kind of yarn did you use? Stunning :)
Thank you! I used some acrylic yarn for this one because my neighbor had a TON in her basement. My favorite yarn is cotton though :) Knit Picks is my fave <3
Wow! I did not expect you to have used acrylic! The sheen and drape look like something else :) i also love cotton. Got a batch of aran weight cotton last year and it knit up so nicely. Makes any pattern look super professional :) look forward to seeing more of your work, thats some talent you have!
Thanks so much! <3 That means a lot :) xx
LOVE this dress! Playing in the ocean and getting knocked over by waves makes me feel like a kid!
Love it! Me too! :)
That is another stunning dress!
When your a kid you always want to get that height and fullness of what you have with that dress, it never happened, who would of thought you would get that with crochet
That spin animation is so satisfying to watch!
lol, thanks! :)
OMG! It's beautiful!!
Hats off to the hard work behind this @mermaidcat... This reminded me of a door rug I made out of old t-shirts.. that was not crochet but ate up a hell lot of my time.. That experience will always make me appreciate projects like this !
I particularly love that low cut back!!!
Thank you Varna! xx I'd love to see your rug :)
WoW! This is gorgeous!!!! Great job. Going to check out your first post! ;)
Thanks so much! xx

Don't have to tell me that! I've been crocheting for twenty years. :D

Sweet :)
I really like your design! great inspiration
Thanks so much! <3
The dress turned out stunning! You have amazing talent :) How long have you been crocheting? I've had all the stuff to get started for a while now, just haven't dove in yet!
Aww! Thank you! <3 You should go for it! I have been knitting for about 12 years... only crocheting for about 4ish :)
Wow! Stunning! I learned how to crochet, but don't do it regularly because it's too hand intensive for me. Your dress is amazing! Lightening, thunderstorms, and playing in the rain bring out my inner child. ^_^
Lovely choices for inner childing! I definitely need to have my hand breaks. I know what you mean! Thanks so much xx
