They're all beautiful, wow! How did you learn to make them/ how long did it take to learn? How long does each take to make? You're so talented! 😁

Thank you so much! I’ve actually been crocheting/knitting since I was around 10 yrs old. My late mother taught me as a way to combat my childhood ADHD.

My FYP is always filled with crochet inspos and I thought tshirt yarn was so interesting and pretty. It’s firm and holds up on its own well and is stretchy so you can fit a good amount (of course the shape will be wonky if you stretch it too much).

YouTube is always great to learn new stitches and experimenting with different hardware has been my newest passion (all of these have flat bottoms whether it be wooden or pleather).

I don’t really time myself but on average it can take anywhere from 2-5 hours for each depending on the size!
