Ugghhhh!! I am so excited and frustrated at the same time. I wanted to come here with a surprise but it’s taking longer than I expected.
I’ve been wanting to do patchwork for the longest time. The problem with crocheting is that if you go yarn shopping with calculations, you will end up buying lesser yarn and if you go without calculations, you will buy more yarns. I feel like it’s way better to buy more yarns than to buy lesser yarns.
I made the hive coaster the other time and I really liked it so I decided to just make a hive jacket.
I’m currently almost out of yarns and very frustrated. I don’t even know what to do but I know I’ll figure it out so don’t worry about me. I’m genuinely excited for this jacket but I’m getting mixed feelings too so I came here for suggestions. I’m not sure if the jacket is coming out pretty. That’s a problem with crocheters.
Most of us are perfectionists so we end up not even seeing the “niceness” in things we do ourselves. I am doing this in size 6 first so that if I like the outcome, I do a bigger one or I might just change my mind anytime.
I have a whole colour and square chart that I’m using to make the jacket and I’m out of the main the colour- olive. Which is kind of frustrating to me because I had to hunt for yarns for a long time before getting it.
I am so in need of yarns of peculiar colours that I could literally do anything to get them at this point. Very desperate. I am supposed to make about 62 squares- 5 by 5 inches squares.
I’m not even half way there yet. I genuinely feel lost with this but as I said, I will figure this out so don’t worry about me. Everything about the crocheting is going on well, just left with the yarn.
Maybe henceforth, if anyone asks me what I want for my birthday , I’ll need to say yarns and hooks because I don’t know why yarns are becoming hard to get here in Ghana.
Anyway, do you like how it’s going? Or you have any suggestions to add to it. Let me know what you think before I continue working on it.

You definitely need more yarns in your life. I totally understand the thing with perfectionists and while we try to see the beautiful creations that they have done, all they see is their own shortcoming.
Madam finish this up let's see my friend 😀
Alright, I’m going to try my best🥹
Good 😊
Thank you
🌺🌹❤️
Yay for sure! I love this project and that you used many squares to make something more complicated. This is the kind of project I could do with the yarn I have. Right now I have a small basket with a bit of a lot of different types of yarn. The pictures of you holding all of the finished squares and the color combination you chose are really pretty! Your post always inspire me and I appreciate how much you share here on HIVE!
I have a suggestion for a future post, maybe you could talk about where and how you get yarn in Ghana. Where and how yarn is made there too!
Ohh right?? I was actually going to make that picture my thumbnail
Maybe I should ☺️
Ohhh that’s a really good suggestion for a post. I would love to do something like that. Thank you so much.
I can already see the sweater forming, I love that you are creating something unique, with the different colour patches, it's time you get married to that Nigerian brother disturbing you because we can never lack yarn here lol, I can't wait to see you rock this sweater.
😂😂😂😂this one that you are speaking in volumes? Who is telling you my secret like this🤣🤣
Thank you though☺️

It is very beautiful what you are doing, do you want to make it all woven? my suggestion is that you include some fabric of a color to give it a different and original touch, this is a humble suggestion, idea that I got look:
I don't know how to knit, but I do know someone who does know and makes nice things her name is @tibaire she can advise you much better.🤗
Oh woww!! That’s a really nice suggestion, I will definitely take into consideration
Thank you so much🥰
I'll keep an eye out for part 2, tags for me to see...Thanks!
Alright.
Hi, crocheter friend, I like your project, I think it's going well. I hope to see it finished very soon. Regards
Thank you so much☺️
Oh wow, I can already see this turning out to be perfect. How are you so good at making the color combinations work 🤩.
The only thing I will say is to send this my way once your done 👀🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣how can I send this your way when it’s not your size 🤣
🤣🤣 it doesn't matter. I'll just look at you and picture you smiling at me anytime I'm missing you 🤣
🤣🤣
Or I should picture you frowning rather 🤣🤣
Oh how can I frown 🤣🤣
Abi you don't want to smile for me 🤣
Aw, you are working on the jacket I can't wait for you to finish it. It looks beautiful already.
Buy in excess is better.
I'm currently making two outfits for a client and the fabric she brought is not enough, now she is begging me to manage that she cannot get the fabric again. I'm halfway through cutting and I'm Wondering how the hell I'm going to complete the cloth without getting another material, am I a magician?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣awww I can relate
Unless you conjure for the client o😂
I took your advice and I’m working on it🥰
Aw, I know right 🙃. I can't wait to see the final result 😍
I'm clueless right now 😂💔
Haha wait on it🥰
This is simply genius! Thanks a bunch, dear! 👗 Remember, you still owe me that knitted dress! #Fashionista #HiveGoals #HandmadeWithLove
Thank you sir
Yeah I remember ☺️
This is nice. I’m now thinking that maybe I need you to make me one of these
Thank you
Let me finish it first and see🥹
Thank you
Dear friend, what an incredible job and how much patience. Just as you say, getting colors and combining them is a big job, I understand your frustration, but come on! I know your crochet mind will solve it somehow, you will adapt and you will surprise us with the final result! I love how you are doing, these patchwork style works are very difficult for me, haha I send you a big hug and I wish you a good week!
Thank you so much
I sure, need that hug 🥰
Knitting needs a lot of patience, precision and creativity. A job well done. It looks like it is coming on well, sorry about the yarn finishing before you are done. You could use another color that blends with the rest around the edges or at the back. Would love to see the outcome.💕✨
Alright, I will just look for another color
Thank you so much
My pleasure.
Import this stuff to Nigeria!!!
Pardon?
So cute! I love those colors and the way you mix them. Also, the detail seems beautiful to me. Success in your projects
Thank you
Wow this is super beautiful and creative.
Thank you
This is really nice.I think I have to try it myself
Thank you
Please do
This is really awesome. Well, I don't have an idea about yarns or how to work on it but be rest assured, this is mind blowing.
Thank you
really liking where it is going @abenad
I like patchwork on wool, it feels very homely.
Cheers from a fellow #dreemerforlife
Thank you sweet dreemer
Awwwwww this is a master piece!! I love ittttt!!
Thank you
Hello, don't get impatient even if you don't stop actively working on this project. The colours are very pretty. I really like the olive colour.
Weaver and dreemer, this design is very very cute and with the Hive logo. 😄
Thank you
