i crocheted a sweater! *but as a beginner yikes*

"tell me you're an overachiever without telling me you're an overachiever." yes, i am the type of person who must be successful at everything they do for the first time lest their fragile ego be shattered! just kidding haha. not really. :/
hey at least i have a cute new sweater :')
until next time,
deborah ♡

Can we just appreciate her talent... She litterally managed to crochet a whole sweather in a week as a BEGINNER!

[@dobochobo]

HAHA not talent just insanity 😅

Lol. I've got the front and back panel and about half a sleeve of a sweater just sitting on my bedroom floor.

@aishou Heyy that’s so cool, if u don’t mind, how did u crochet a second row and so on?, I’ve been trying to the regular process but then go through the second knott first thing but it just hasn’t been working for me

[@lucindapinnellova190]

ikr like im not even a beginner but i cant be bothered to do anything lol. I just make a pillowcase or a random square when i feel like it, the only other thing i tried was a purple and black bee i made yesterday.

[@pandajoyd4992]

@@amya1803 Hi! I’m not aisho, but I just finished a sweater like dobochobo’s, and I chained one (my stitches were half double crochets) and turned the square. On a second sweater (my stitches were double crochets) I chained two and turned. Hope that helped!
