Thick Bro Handmade

The beginnings of a green and white crochet project lay across a desk, blue crochet hook wrapped thick with rainbow grip tape resting on the project.

Any tips on keeping yarn from getting twisted up while working on a multi-color crochet project? It seems like I’m spending half of my time moving yarn balls around or untwisting. 🧶

See- if you work at a library you know what’s up.

😍 This is exactly the vibes! Thank you, you’re too kind.

A man in sunglasses stands leaning on a wire fence. He’s wearing an oversized knit jacket made with bright pink and yellow blanket yarn.

Ok this jacket sparked debate at the charity auction where it was sold. One person thought it was the “ugliest jacket made by someone with no knitting ability, (but I love it,)” and others thought it is an awesome winter “lounging around the house with a hot cup of tea” coat… What do you think? 😂🧶

Thank you! It’s not exactly the most “practical” jacket, but it IS cozy! 😂

A man walks down an alley smiling and wearing a thick knit jacket made of teal and purple blanket yarn, looking so bold and so cozy.

This one is my favorite jacket of the first run. All were made using blanket yarn that was on sale for next to nothing, so it was fun to play around with colors I wouldn’t normally pick. They’re so much fun! (I’m waiting to get my hands on more so I can make a crocheted version…) 🤔🧶

Leftover blanket yarn in a variety of colors, (blue, yellow, purple, and pinks,) has been made into an oversized knit jacket with comically long sleeves

#ShowMeYourKnits, This was my first attempt at stripes. I had a bunch of leftover yarn from a variety of other projects. The sleeves could definitely have been a few colors shorter! 😂

A man sits on a low wall wearing a pastel pink and blue knit jacket. The jacket is made of chenille blanket yarn, so it’s super bold and cozy

Reminiscing on the first attempts at learning to make “bold and cozy” apparel. First it was knitting, then crocheting, now I’m working on a quilted jacket… 🧶
