Those. Are. Freaking. Awesome. I love them! I crochet too but only have some dishcloths, a couple scarves and a random baby blanket to show for it Because I am both a perfectionist (of the product) and chaotic (of the process).

I think that's all quite an accomplishment! I love that crafting can be practical and make gifts for others, but I think the most important thing is that you enjoy it yourself, so as long as you're satisfied with your process, I say embrace the chaos!

Yes!!! That is so hard for me. Like creating for creations sake rather than the end result.

The alien plant holders evoked the same joy that muppets do for me! "Attention tunnel" and "special interest" were both new terms for me. I have much to learn about neurodivergence (of all kinds).

Crocheting the aliens brings you joy, seeing them brings me joy :)). Thank you for introducing me to new terminology, too (and thus expanding my consciousness).

I'm glad they brought you joy too! I'd love to know which terminology was new for you!

Those are the cutest things I've seen in ages! I can't do handicrafts of any type and I'm always low-key jealous of those who can. Vicariously living through you and your aliens 😍
