When I say this was last minute, this was LAST minute. I received a text for these vest on a Friday and they were finished by Tuesday. I do not play. These vests were needed for a birthday party a week after the request was made and I made it my mission to have them ready. The technique was very simple. I followed along to a motif pattern that I found on YouTube and the rest is completely freehand. It’s a combination of diff ebt crochet stitches, but mostly Double Crochet. I really enjoyed making them and I hope I’m able to create more. ❤️

"Motorsport, yeah, put that thing in sport (skrrt, skrrt) Shawty bad (bad), pop her like a cork (pop it)" With the hit song playing on the airwaves, there was nothing left to do but get creative. Every time you turned on the radio you would hear the song. The music playing in the background of a commercial, on one station after the other. Then you're causally scrolling Instagram and all you see is boutique after boutique posting the infamous black and white checkered square pattern. So I thought to myself why not get creative. For those of us who crochet, changing colors can be fun but can also be a bit tedious. There's nothing worse then being in the middle of a crochet project and your yarn gets TANGLED up because of the back and forth color changes. Color changing is something I taught myself how to do while doing crochet graphghans. It will have you questioning your ability to crochet and wonder if all of it is worth it. TRUST ME its worth it. I have grown to love the back and forth, yarn over, tangled up mess that comes with color changing. I feel like if you can color change you can do anything. That is the basis of crochet graphghan. But I will get into all of that at a later time. Back to MOTORSPORT. Once again the ideas came to me while being on social media and seeing the different why the pattern was being used. I recently began my journey with designing swimsuits. So I put myself to the test. The motorsport swimsuit was the first swimsuit I ever made in its complexity. I have used the checkered pattern before as a graphghan and wondered to myself " What would it look like in swimsuit form? " I believe it came out perfect. The short set was a breeze. I also recently began creating shorts with the help of YOUTUBE and my fellow crochet group on FACEBOOKSunRaee Sun Clan. I was intimidated by making clothes for the longest time. But the help I received I was able to come with the MOTORSPORT SHORT SET. Isn't it a beauty?? I absolutely LOVVVVEEEEEEDDDD creating it. I will admit it was extremely painful on the hands, my hands were on FIRE !!! I would totally do it all over again !! Its amazing to me what can be done with yarn. Both items were made with Red Heart Super Saver. I would recommend Cotton yarn for the swimsuit, but overall both pieces came out amazing. If I have the time I will try to recreate a pattern for the shorts. Auntie Mia
Hello everyone. Today on what's H.O.T.H is a crochet afghan. I actually have several baby afghans that I alternate on to get them completed in a timely manner. Each afghan will be place on my Etsy site.
Things with LoveTangled have been slowing down but I'm almost positive that I will be getting back to the grind of things to present you guys with amazing work.
I have new ideas and I'm going to take the time that I have set aside to the them to guys as soon as possible.
Sorry for the lack of posts. There is no excuse of reason, but I come to you today with a new idea of what I can do for more posts being made.
I do a lot of research on crocheting and knitting in order to perfect my craft. Recently, I've decided to share my knowledge of I find to you in what I call W.I.P ( Wednesday Inspiration Posts). These post will range from what tools need to be used, a tutorial here and there, and inspiration on other crochet artist projects. I know we in the crochet world use W.I.P for work in progress, so you may see a few post from myself with my W.I.P. The reason for these posts are to get me to post more often and use the platforms that are out there to get LoveTangled. I hope to find other ways to better LoveTangled, but for now im taking one step at a time and hopegully I can finally get this business where I want and would like it to be. xoMia
It has been awhile but I am still crocheting. I never find the time to update this like I should and I know I always say I will update but I just simply forget. LoveTangled is becoming recognized and I have had a lot of business, but things have started to slow down. That doesn't mean I have stopped crocheting. If you would like to see some work from the past 9 or so months check out the LoveTangled instagram. This blanket is 53x46 inches. It is available for sale on my BigCartel website. Check it out and hope you all have been blessed !
I've posted baby booties before on this blog. But the booties I'm posting today are very special to me. The new addition coming to the family is my little cousin Makayla. Although she is not yet, I was ask to make her some baby booties.
