Brown People Craft too

I wanted to start this page to show the creativity of people of color. I know that creativity has no color, but often times I feel that people never associate people of color with crafting. I’ve gone to craft stores so many times and have seen shocked looks of workers and customers caused by my presence lol. So I will be using this page to reblog the works of POC (polymer clay, nail art, etc). I’ll try to figure out how to open the page for submissions. Also if you know of any artists on tumblr send them my way =)

So I am addicted to making these beanies now. Fo this one I used Red Heart Soft in Plummy or Prune. And I don’t know if you can see this in the photo but for the last two rows of the band I did an alternating FP and BP DC stitch.

I only used a little less than 1 skein which is 4 oz. Like I think I have enough of this skein to maybe add a flower to this beanie…if I could figure out how to do 3D flowers.

I have four more skeins of this yarn left.

Submit!..please!!!

I haven’t forgot about this page, but finding my fellow brown crafters is harder than expected :(. So if you will, please submit your work or work of others. I would appreciate that a lot! :)

As previously mentioned in another post, I learned how to knit during my fast! It was hard at first, because I could not get past the first row. The youtube videos I watched didn’t show all the angles and were so fast I would literally re-watch the same part 50 times before I just gave up for the…

I just finished this beret for the lady who does my twists. The spaces in between the clusters are big so it’s reall good and lightweight for the summer time. It’s also really stretchy which was the point. She wanted it big enough to cover her dreads in and she wanted rainbow color.

I was hesitant about using Red Heart yarn because it’s not the softest, but it is really durable and the texture of this pattern is really nice so it balances.

I used Red Heart Super Saver (5 0z) in Mexicana and used about 2/3 of the skein. I’m going to make another for myself.
