Discover crochet projects inspired by classic movies.
crocheting at the drive-in

I had A.I. list old sci-fi, horror, and b-movie recommendations, along with a couple of crochet projects that would go with each. Below is the result. I removed a few duplicates (The Blob was listed on each of the 3 lists), but I did not alter the crochet suggestions.

My goal is to watch the movies and start to crochet at least one of the items while watching. I wanted to livestream while I watched, but which platform it will be on is yet to be determined, my internet connection out here is NOT the best.  

Watching and filming myself crocheting while I watch is slow-going!! It will be a while before this page gets filled up. I will then post asap, as well as the finished projects, down below.


Sign up for my email list, or watch my socials, to know when I go live and with which movie. I will post the times and movies ahead of time, so come join me in my madness!!
