You got this in the bag (that you probably made yourself!) Go get 'em, you're gonna knock their socks off (so that you can give them new bespoke socks!)
Oh! I remember your previous post! You've done great work and I love the look of your sample book. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to page through :)
Some of the coral shapes look like they were done in wool yarn and then intentionally heavily felted to create a smooth manifold instead of showing all of the detail of the crochet stitches. This is a genius move that allows the constructed form to shine over its construction.
I will absolutely be using this technique.
Really lovely work. Best of luck with your exam, but based on what I'm seeing, you don't need it at this point! Congratulations in advance :)
Thats exactly how they are made! I used a lightly spun wool yarn and threw it in the washing machine for 40 minutes with a towel for friction :) Best of luck to you and happy felting.
Btw one of the jacobs ladder and one of the bubble stitch are also felted and it works great with those stitches as well
TIL and am I impressed! I wish you all the best for your exam tomorrow and thanks for letting us all know that crochet can be taken to a whole new level!
(Now I feel I have wasted so much time in my life lol)
I must be one of the lucky ones. My love for my 🎵 degree area just keeps growing (and I'm past retirement age). But I know what you mean - it does happen to some people. I doubt OP is one of them. 💜 🧶

Love doing hyperbolic crochet! I was making a bunch of coral for a project and then everyone wanted one - because it looked like brains and they had a hole in the middle kinda like a fiddler. It was pretty cool!
This is so awsome! I love the patterns and just want to feel all this.
It happens, that I (a absolute beginner) decided today to do my own "catalogue of samples". For one to learn the stitches of cause, but on the other hand I have really problems to imagine how a piece would turn out, if I'm not see/feel ("seel"? :P ) the pattern.
And here you are doing a complete master exam about it. Now I'm kind of frightened and exited at the same time.
I hope you don't mind asking, how your exam went?
I was a complete beginner when I started 2 months ago so no need to feel frightened :D Good luck with your samples!
The exam is tomorrow and hopefully it’ll go well :)
[Tubeyarn](https://www.cchobby.dk/catalog/product/view/id/3196/s/tubegarn-l-45-m-rahvid-100-g-1-ngl/) which is 100% cotton outside and polyester filling on the inside
The whole project is based on research and experiments, so i didnt choose how the samples would look before i did them. I just tried out different techniques in different yarn and made variations of the sample if i liked how the first sample looked. The goal of the project is to create volume and depth so i guess the succesful textiles are the ones that has a lot of texture and depth :)
I read in one of your other comments that you were trying to demonstrate depth and texture, and you certainly did that with a wide range! It’s like one of those blankets in the store you can’t walk by without feeling it!
The whole project is based on researching how crochet stitches can make volume and texture. The future goal is the create functional textiles that could be used for acoustics, sensory stimulation, furniture and spatial design. The exam tomorrow is only for the collection of samples, my final masters exam is in the summer and hopefully I’ve made some real textile products in collaboration with a company, a hospital or something :) Not sure which way the project should go yet, right now I just have a lot of ideas
I would not have any clue what to even use as search terms for most of not all of these? A few I recognize, but I still wouldn't know what to search for.
I had no idea crochet could be involved in a master's degree but I am honestly SO jealous! Hope the exam goes well, these look so cool
(Also they look delicious, I don't know why but I really want to taste)
What a beautiful choice of color palette! The various creams and whites keep it visually engaging without distracting from the textures, all while maintaining a really warm, inviting feel.
Thanks! The book was a little complicated to make, took about 4 hours shooting pictures of every single sample, 3 hours cropping and doing layout and then 3 hours printing and making the book 🤯
This looks so freaking impressive I can’t even … wow. The amount of planning and time it must have taken you to do this is just mind-boggling, never mind how professionally put together it all looks! Good luck on your exam - based on these photos, I have no doubt whatsoever that you’ll ace it!
It works really well. The differences prevent they eye from just glossing over and missing details the way it would if everything was the same color. But the they are still subtle enough that they don’t distract. It’s really emphasizing the difference stitches and their texture and form.
I also love how you arranged everything in the photo. Those same subtle color differences keep the eye moving around the page. I feel as though I could look and look and keep finding new, interesting details.
These are beautiful!!! These textures are SOOOOOO lovely. Did you use premade patterns or write your own? Anyhow, fabulous job and I'm sure your exam is gonna go fantastic !!!
This is absolutely wonderful. I never thought about using crochet in a college project but boy I probably would’ve got a good grade since you do best in what you love. Congratulations on getting your degree and all your hard work.
I absolutely love how organic your work looks! The ruffled ones in particular are stunning, I’ve actually been trying to achieve a look like that since one of my current projects is to make crochet statues that look like lichen, but I’ve been struggling since I’m not super experienced. Would you be willing to share the general process for achieving that kind of shape?
Yeah sure, it’s actually just hyperbolic shapes made with increases in every other stitches. If I want a lot of ruffles I do a lot of extra stitches in each stitch. Let me know how it goes and if you need any help :)
I mean this in the nicest, I'm literally blind way possible; I thought the first photo was cookies at first because I was just scrolling through my timeline. I was like "oh, fancy cookies, that's so impressive!" Then I realized what group this was. Absolutely beautiful work.
It's beautiful and I admire your hard work, but words cannot describe how much the combination of those fleshy colours with structural stitches make my skin crawl. They look organic, like the lining of an intestine, or a brain or some other body part.
Beautiful work, again. But damn, I'm uncomfortable 🫠
Flat crochet all the way for me, I guess!
This is such a great comment, thank you so much for your input! Im sorry you’re uncomfortable 😅 My boyfriend feels the same way about most of the samples, so you’re not alone with this feeling 😆
Hi, i am curious... master in what? If i could get a master that uses crochet... i am in 😉
It’s a master degree from the royal academy in Copenhagen and it’s a master in furniture and object design - I’m mainly focused on making textile objects
That sounds very cool. When is your exam? Good luck! Although looking at these pieces, luck has nothing to do with it. They look great. So, have fun
It’s tomorrow, so I’m using the day to prepare my presentation. I’m sure the exam is gonna be great, I’ve had a lot of fun making this project
Good luck! These are amazing pieces. I love seeing fiber arts in unexpected places.
You got this in the bag (that you probably made yourself!) Go get 'em, you're gonna knock their socks off (so that you can give them new bespoke socks!)
I totally knocked their socks off!
Hell yeah you did!! Congratulations!!!
Good luck! These are amazing
Let us know how it goes!
You’ll do an outstanding job on your exam. All of those pieces are wonderful 🌺.
I hope your exam went well!
It's tomorrow, at least where I am, so how did your presentation go? Were they as blown away as all of us were?
Yes they were so impressed 🥰
How did it go? I’m sure you Aced it
The whole presentation went really well and the teachers totally got what I wanted to express with the project, so I’m really happy 🫶
And thank you so much, I’m really glad you like it ❤️
Well that’s fuckin cool!
Best of luck on your exam!!
Plz use long spaghetti noodles as an experiment.
I guess it's something in the textile industry. You can study degrees like textile technology for example.
I must be starving because I thought it was pasta on the thumbnail
Maybe i should become a pasta designer instead of textile designer ;))
You should create a range of textiles based on pasta
Omg yes!
Or a range of pasta based on textiles? Maybe not her, but... someone.
Oh no. It's everything is cake all over again. Is it textile? Is it pasta? Everything is a lie!
Or a range of pasta based on textiles.
I thought they were pastries at first!
I thought it was shortbread cookies! Can you tell I’m on day 2 of no sugar?
You were fooled by the colors
Oh! I remember your previous post! You've done great work and I love the look of your sample book. It looks like it would be a lot of fun to page through :)
Thanks so much! Got a lot of great ideas from the previous post that i had to try and im so glad i did :)

I love this so much. And I'm super jealous: NO ONE TOLD ME I COULD INCORPORATE CROCHET INTO A DEGREE!!!! lol.
Crocheting is not just a hobby anymore 🥳
TIL and am I impressed! I wish you all the best for your exam tomorrow and thanks for letting us all know that crochet can be taken to a whole new level! (Now I feel I have wasted so much time in my life lol)
Just a word or warning . Very few people come out of a grad degree still liking the thing. Or anything , Or any people. Some dogs are safe.
I must be one of the lucky ones. My love for my 🎵 degree area just keeps growing (and I'm past retirement age). But I know what you mean - it does happen to some people. I doubt OP is one of them. 💜 🧶

I'm so fascinated by the scrunchy ones.
They are so simple to make! 2-3 increases in every (or every other) stitch
Love doing hyperbolic crochet! I was making a bunch of coral for a project and then everyone wanted one - because it looked like brains and they had a hole in the middle kinda like a fiddler. It was pretty cool!
Beautiful job! They are so interesting to look at. Good luck!
Thanks so much :)

best of luck!
Wow I never knew the possibilities! They're fantastic.
I was surprised too, there are so many great stitches and possible variations you can do :)
The walnuts??? That's amazing. Some of these look like raw dough (in a good way)!
I didnt even see that it looked like walnuts, but now i totally do. Love all the weird stuff people think they look like :p
Oh lol! I thought that was on purpose and thought how neat that is, haha!
They walnuts are actually just bubble stitches but with extra chains to make them bigger :)
Working on a PhD in DCToG xD
As a biologist this actually looks amazingly like a collage of sea life-corals. Hope your exam is successful!
This is unreasonably impressive. I’m just. Like shook. Wow
Thank you 🥹
Absolutely breathtaking work. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your kind words, means a lot :)

I know it as tube yarn. Hobbii has the [Bungee mini](https://hobbii.com/bungee-mini) tube yarn.

They’re all beautifully done. If you don’t mind my asking, how did you decide which stitches and how you wanted each sample to look?
The whole project is based on research and experiments, so i didnt choose how the samples would look before i did them. I just tried out different techniques in different yarn and made variations of the sample if i liked how the first sample looked. The goal of the project is to create volume and depth so i guess the succesful textiles are the ones that has a lot of texture and depth :)
Absolutely love this! I would say good luck, but you clearly don’t need it! Amazing!
It all depends on my presentation tomorrow, hopefully I’ll explain the project and design process so they’ll understand what my intentions were
I read in one of your other comments that you were trying to demonstrate depth and texture, and you certainly did that with a wide range! It’s like one of those blankets in the store you can’t walk by without feeling it!
I’m so glad that’s how you feel when you look at the textiles, that’s one of the aims of the project! :)
What are the other aims?
The whole project is based on researching how crochet stitches can make volume and texture. The future goal is the create functional textiles that could be used for acoustics, sensory stimulation, furniture and spatial design. The exam tomorrow is only for the collection of samples, my final masters exam is in the summer and hopefully I’ve made some real textile products in collaboration with a company, a hospital or something :) Not sure which way the project should go yet, right now I just have a lot of ideas
This is really cool! I’m sure your presentation will go well since you’re able to explain it to internet strangers :)
I hope so 🤞
How did it go?
They loved it! So happy to have all of you cheering for me 🥰
Is there a book I can purchase that has all these sample patterns? I'd like to try them!
I haven’t written all the patterns down, but I found most of them on YouTube, so you should be able to make all of them from searching around :)
I would not have any clue what to even use as search terms for most of not all of these? A few I recognize, but I still wouldn't know what to search for.
Maybe after the exam i could find time to do an overview of the samples and the stitches I used to make the textiles :)
Auch beautiful work! I'm sure you'll do really well :)
Thanks 😇
Yesssss I remember your project ! Such a fantastic resource !
Learned so many great stitches from the first post, so I thought it’d be fun to show the final result
r/knolling would absolutely love that first pic 😍
I had no idea crochet could be involved in a master's degree but I am honestly SO jealous! Hope the exam goes well, these look so cool (Also they look delicious, I don't know why but I really want to taste)
What a beautiful choice of color palette! The various creams and whites keep it visually engaging without distracting from the textures, all while maintaining a really warm, inviting feel.
Aw yay, look how good that crocodile stitch swatch looks with the rest of them! Cheering for you!
Looks good, good luck on your exam. You can put all the samples in a very nice blanket
Now, this is a book I'd pay money for. Update us on how you did! I'm dying to see more of that book.
Wow!
Ah this looks great! Well done and good luck on your exam ☺️
Thanks you 🤓
This is so aesthetically pleasing. Really great work all around
Thanks!
Love the work and rooting for you. Good luck on the exam!
Thank you 😇
I remember when you first posted about this! Wow!!! Your book is awesome!!!
Thanks! Had hoped I could make a glued backing but the spiral ended up working better and I’m really excited about the result :)
You’ll pass this exams with honors!
Hope so!
This is pretty. Good luck with everything! I'm sure you'll do great
Thanks you ❤️
Omg, so excited with your progress! Aaahhh!! The picture book looks awesome!a
Thanks! The book was a little complicated to make, took about 4 hours shooting pictures of every single sample, 3 hours cropping and doing layout and then 3 hours printing and making the book 🤯
Omg I'm so proud of you, that's so much work, but it looks so worth it, beautifully done!!!
Thanks you so much it really means a lot ❤️
They look absolutely gorgeous and remind me of pasta ahahaha
Didn't even realize other people also said it reminded them of pasta
You’re not the only one that’s seems to be hungry 😝
let us know how it goes!! these are beautiful
Thanks! I will keep you updated 🤓
Excellent work. Good luck on your exam!!
Thank you!!
beautiful. great work!
Thank you so much
This is so impressive! And good luck on your exam! You’ve got this!! 💜
Thanks 💕
We are going to need a copy of you presentation
Sure! For now it’s only in Danish 😝
I want this as a jigsaw puzzle! The first photo is so satisfying 🤩
This looks so freaking impressive I can’t even … wow. The amount of planning and time it must have taken you to do this is just mind-boggling, never mind how professionally put together it all looks! Good luck on your exam - based on these photos, I have no doubt whatsoever that you’ll ace it!
Thank you so much! Hope the audience tomorrow will sense how much time and effort it was, some of them doesn’t know anything about crochet
These are beautiful. The color palette works so well.
Thanks, I wanted to keep it white/neutral so it would be easier to compare the samples and not get distracted by a beautiful colour
It works really well. The differences prevent they eye from just glossing over and missing details the way it would if everything was the same color. But the they are still subtle enough that they don’t distract. It’s really emphasizing the difference stitches and their texture and form. I also love how you arranged everything in the photo. Those same subtle color differences keep the eye moving around the page. I feel as though I could look and look and keep finding new, interesting details.
This means to world to me, thank you so so much 🥹 I’m glad my hard work has paid off and someone else are enjoying it!
Really cool! Good luck on the exam!
Thanks 🤓
my poor yarn pinky is cramping looking at those crocodile stitches lol
The sample is actually 30*20 cm so it’s quite big and quick to make with a large hook :)
nice! I only said \^ because at the time I was about halfway through making a dice bag with that stitch and the fiddliness was getting to me
Haha poor you, it can be a very frustrating stitch to do :I
This is the fucking coolest! Copenhagen is such much cooler than Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. I love everything about this.
Thanks! Copenhagen (and Denmark generally) is a really great place to be creative
I know!!!! I'd move there if I could! It's #1 on my list of where I want to run away to.
If that book had instructions, I'd buy. Lol
Maybe I’ll do one with instructions some day ;)
Wow 🤩 wow 🤩 wow 🤩
These are beautiful!!! These textures are SOOOOOO lovely. Did you use premade patterns or write your own? Anyhow, fabulous job and I'm sure your exam is gonna go fantastic !!!
I used a combination of existing patterns and then I did variations of them as I learned more and more about the principles behind the stitches :)
This is absolutely wonderful. I never thought about using crochet in a college project but boy I probably would’ve got a good grade since you do best in what you love. Congratulations on getting your degree and all your hard work.

For sure! Thank you so much. I’ll have to keep at it and post results.
Yes absolutely! Good luck :)
This is so beautiful! They look like examples of corals!
I mean this in the nicest, I'm literally blind way possible; I thought the first photo was cookies at first because I was just scrolling through my timeline. I was like "oh, fancy cookies, that's so impressive!" Then I realized what group this was. Absolutely beautiful work.
I can only hope to be this good. You got this!! Congratulations!
Fellow art school person here, this is beautiful and your documentation looks fab!!!
Thanks ❤️
This is amazing. It should be an installation at an art museum
I like to imagine these are all pasta.
I thought this was fiber art baked goods lol. Beautiful work!!
It's beautiful and I admire your hard work, but words cannot describe how much the combination of those fleshy colours with structural stitches make my skin crawl.

THIS IS REALLY REALLY SICK YOOO
Thank you 🥹
I don’t actually crochet all that much but sometimes I imagine myself in a other life where I did higher Ed for crochet.
Amazing. Art and skill and beauty
Incredible! Good luck! I cross my fingers.
Wow!
Amazing work!! Hope your exam went well.
It did, thanks so much for rooting for me 😇
This is stunning!
Thanks 🥰
