Giant Crochet Snails // Rock Maker Stitches

One of my coworkers keeps commenting on how I'm always working on some craft or other and they've literally never seen me without something next to me, and it's like... what can I tell you; each crochet or knit stitch or bit of fiber drafted out puts an extra centimeter of distance between me and the flesh eating snail that's been chasing me my whole life, and if I stop it WILL catch up within the fortnight, and it promised the first thing it will eat is my hands, so if nothing else I want a stock of socks and bags and my gloves mended and stuff. I mean you know how curses are.

Self-control whomst? No, this was bad of me. But in my defense, I've had multiple multi-day meeting ordeals lately, and this is one of the BEST activities for staying entertained while also listening.

And I had a pattern I'd purchased a while back (another megan lapp/craftyintentions creation) that I'd never made! So it did it, and it was INVOLVED, so much like so many similar craft incidents, i reached a natural stopping point and.... didn't stop. The blue and purple one came first! I did the fancy tentacles and no colorwork. But I had regrets about both those things, the tentacles were SO hard on my hands, and this is a lot of surface area to work without doing fun color things, especially when this yarn is so vibrant. So i finished one, slumped with exhaustion, and... immediately began another.

But I'm done now! For a while! Except for my two big wips and miscellaneous bubbalubs to use up yarn and eyes, but i SWEAR I'm going to find new entertainment now before i do additional unkindnesses to my hands 😂

Edit: one last photo, for scale!

Everyone please enjoy my new snail friend. He is full of love and significantly less slime than a real snail.

My best friend is raising money for gender-affirming top surgery, and made these (and more) wonderful pieces for their Ko-Fi fundraiser!! Every piece from concept to creation has been handmade with lovingly considered quality. Jae (they/them) is the human personification of a rainbow--bright, colorful, creative, and one of the sweetest people I've had the pleasure to know. I cannot wait to see how much brighter they will get to shine when they can be themselves 🌈

Second snail is bigger and less interested in exploring everything but absolutely still a curious lil thing, shell’s too big for them but that’s ok they’ll grow into it eventually.

Pretty sure I have enough left over for one more (cutting the yarn chicken pretty close to the wire though!) Watch this space. 🐌

I made Sned and Snede! I love them so much 🥰 Pattern is the Giant Snail by Crafty Intentions on Etsy!

EFFERVESCENT!! 🐌🔮🌺

some pink palette snails i have planned for a larger photoset in the spring. this pattern was really easy to work up, and Lion Brand Mandala yarn is great for smaller amigurumi like these.
