Crochet crafts of a newbie
I am a person who loves cultivating different hobbies. I love to draw, play the music keyboard and ukelele, bake cookies and bread, read books, and watch TV series. Last year, I picked up another one, and that is crocheting. I remember how my mother used to crochet flower patterns as an additional income stream when I was still a kid. I would convince her to let me try it, I would always mess up the counting and the flower would look like a withered one hahaha. A few years ago, I wanted to start on this hobby but time really was scarce back then. I am glad, eventually, I was able to carve time for it.
pouch of different sizes
The first craft I was able to finished was a pouch, not the one in the photo above. That's actually the fourth pouch I've made since I started. The first one was bigger that fits all my toiletries I use for travel. The second and third were of this same size that fits the airpods. I've made a lot since my sister also wanted one for her airpods, back when the cases we purchased haven't been delivered yet. I still use this pouch in addition with the case just because I find it cute. That gave me the idea...what if I make crochet crafts for all my belongings?
At the start of the year, I purchased this huge bag, almost the size of a throw pillow. I wanted to get away with always using a backpack in going to work, but, I carry a lot of things so I have to find a way in having it well organized inside this bag. Aside from the pouches and organizers I bought before, I wanted to make something that will protect my laptop from the things that I just put inside this bag. It's like a sack bag with no dividers and pouches inside so I have to have mini bags inside. Hahaha.
a new project
Since I am still not confident with my skills and my will to finish the things that I started. I wanted to make the design and its way of making to be very simple. I searched for a tutorial for the simplest laptop sleeve online and found a guide. All I had to do is make a chain that fits the width of my laptop and make double crochet stitches until the length when folded fits my laptop. I chose an 8-ply yarn for this sleeve because I wanted to serve as a protection case too and I am also most comfortable using the thick ply yarns compared to the thinner ones.
I was making this for the whole month of February, when I was busy going back and forth from work and home province. Whenever I would have time to spare, I would add rows of double crochet stitches so that I'll be able to finish it and put it to use. What I love about this new found hobby is that I can use the crafts I make, it gives me peaceful moments as I try to make the stitches as neat as possible, and it's very enjoyable when I listen to music while working on it.
Here's the finished product! It's a little bit shorter than what I planned. But still, I am now using it as a sleeve for my laptop whenever I would use my big sack bag. On my next project, I plan to be a little more extra, and add some designs like flowers and other cute things. :)

The people doing V2K with remote neural monitoring want me to believe this lady @battleaxe is an operator. She is involved deeply with her group and @fyrstikken . Her discord is Battleaxe#1003. I cant prove she is the one directly doing the V2K and RNM. Doing it requires more than one person at the least. It cant be done alone. She cant prove she is not one of the ones doing it. I was drugged in my home covertly, it ended badly. They have tried to kill me and are still trying to kill me. I bet nobody does anything at all. Ask @battleaxe to prove it. I bet she wont. They want me to believe the V2K and RNM in me is being broadcast from her location. And what the fuck is "HOMELAND SECURITY" doing about this shit? I think stumbling over their own dicks maybe? Just like they did and are doing with the Havana Syndrome https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism
That is so cool. Voted on behalf of the Neoxian city paper.
Thank you so much for your support @sayee and the @neoxiancity! I really appreciate it. :)
I love the idea for this project, the finishing is pretty neat.
Thank you so much! Your works are really great by the way, it inspired me to make crochet crafts that I can also wear. ✨👏🏻
Thank you so much. Hopefully, you will start making those too.
I love how you designed the photos for your blogpost, the graphic details, the flower sketch etc, this looks very professional.
Looking forward to more crochet projects. I also love crochet, but am knitting more currently. But I still have a huge long coat I am crocheting which waits for me to finish it :-D
Thanks a lot! Aside from the crocheting, I did enjoy making this post because of how I prepared the photos. I have recently found this wonderful app where I can make photos tell a little bit of story too by adding captions.
Wow! hope to see that long coat soon, I know it'll be great. ☺️
The first projects i made were pouches and make up pouch..add the cellphone pouch too! i love your laptop sleeve.. i havent tried using an 8 ply milk cotton yarn.. i usually use the 5ply..
Thank you very much! :) I'd love to make more pouches in the future. The 5ply yarn looks nice too, that's what I used for the pouch I made for my sister.
Wow this is beautiful thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! :) Would love to share more in the future. 🤩
