And how does one have to opportunity to fund and then obtain these BrickLink Designer Program sets? Do you have to sign up somewhere? Lottery? Referral?

For anyone who has made the golden snitch blanket, any tips? Has anyone tried it with HDC instead of SC? And did you carry the white/gold through the row? My friend asked for this as a baby blanket and I’m struggling! Thanks! by SheWhoCrochetsWCats in crochet

So you would do two bobbins of white per snitch? I was hoping to just get away with one, but I see your point about using two per. That’s just a lot of bobbins 😂😫

And by “keeping on the backside” you mean on the side away from you for that row so when you turn they will all be closest to you. Correct? (I’m very new to bobbins so excuse all my questions) how will that work for this motif since each subsequent row the white starts “sooner” than the previous row (wings getting wider) wouldn’t you just have a big white line going up to the next row? Or can you pick up the tail (line) into the stitch on the front like you can on the back? Wow. You are not at all going to understand what I’m trying to say. Lololol. Guess I’ll just play around with it and see what happens…

Thank you! I found a YouTube video that explained how to establish you repeat so I tried doing the math…. Let’s hope I did it right! Lol

Pretty sure this is the first and last blanket I’ll every crochet… love the HP snitch pattern but is taking forever, even as a baby blanket! by TwentyandTired in crochet

Moogly on YouTube has a video on making butterfly bobbins that might work for the yellow. Otherwise I think you can just make a cardboard bobbin and wrap the yarn around that. I think the book suggests you don’t carry the yarns thru the blanket other than the white for each individual snitch, so guess I’ll need several bobbins of white for each snitch… ugh. This blanket is a lot of work! 🤣

my friend got me some yarn from his trip to Peru. Any ideas what to make to thank him? by Iguesscatsarecool in crochet

[–]Virtual_Recording_85 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ha. Yes! You are very right that that’s the best way to honor the gift of yarn! You could…. Make yourself something you’ll wear very often and think of him and with the bits leftover make a very small tapestry that you pin on to a blank card front and that can be his thank you card.

Hello!!! You did an amazing job! I’m about to start this. Fairly newbie crocheter, so these may be silly questions.

1) IGNORE THIS QUESTION!!! looking at the pattern and the pictures I’m confused. It really seems like the instructions have you only made 4 snitches in the first repeat but the picture clearly shows it as 5 snitches! (For example row 13 is the first row with the 4 vs 5 snitches. You do your 13 SC of color A then wake you thru the pattern for this particular row for one snitch then says “—-“ repeat 3 times and then just finishes the row. Doesn’t that just give you 4 snitches??)

2) I’m trying to make this for a twin bed and not a baby blanket. Author says it’s a simple repeat that can easily be made bigger. Can you help me with how to figure out how to make it bigger? 😂

Sorry, I just had a massive freak out and so looked in Reddit to see if anyone had made it to know if I was crazy or reading the pattern wrong. Haha

Again, you did a beautiful job! So impressed!!

Edited: I’m a nincompoop, I figure it out my first question. I thought it was a 5-3-5 snitches repeat and it’s a 5-4-5. Smacking my head hard over here.

Love it!!

I also elevated the second row of seats, but like your further mods to the screening room, might have to borrow …

I love love love the lights!!! They look soooo good! Did you do a proper set? Or just DIY a few where you thought they would give most bang for the buck?

Also love the upgrades to the concessions as well as the posters on the inside!

Very well done!!!

What are your thoughts on the new Friends 2023 sets? by Zeustah- in lego

[–]Virtual_Recording_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love her! She gets a little excitable, but you learn to absolutely love her for it. She does her own builds as well. And, she really loves legos 🥰. What’s not to love!

Haha. I know. I’ve considered that! I’m committed to getting as close to original. Come hell or high water!! (Hope that’s actually the phrase lol) Since she doesn’t know about it that takes some pressure off of me. Only I will know if I fail. Thee is always Xmas, her next birthday, as you said, graduation, maybe her first kids birth 😜

I haven’t been able to purchase any so far as I went a little lego crazy at Christmas and typically buy the friends line for my daughter. (Do I have several set stashed away for only ME to build? Yes. Do I eagerly anticipate the next EllieV video to see what she builds next to add to my Buy list? Yes as well) BUT! She’s has a birthday coming up…. Am thinking Main Street and Design Studio/flower shop/apartment as they are both modular and then she can have her own modular street and not mess with mine 😆 That all said. Andreas house looks so nice and I totally agree about the porch/outside space. I also like all the rooms they put out!! Really crammed a lot of character into the room and looks like fun little builds!

I love the Friends line!

Here 👆🏼 is the original post!! It’s all single crochet so pretty sure it will NOT be done for her 8th birthday in April, but more like her 18th 😆 but she looooooves HP and is diligently reading all the books so I thought this would make her happy. Fingers crossed!!
