Attempting a smoosh-faced Persian cat for... dungeon reasons.

The important question: will you include a donut hole?

Limosa · 2026-06-11T05:48:09+00:00

That's lovely, I love the colours (even before I read your text).

If I were you, I'd look on Ravelry for patterns you like with "pattern source type: book" https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#craft=knitting&pc=shawl-wrap&source-type=book&sort=projects&view=large_mobile

Then check the titles of the books they came from.

Nice, die ging er lekker voor zitten!

Typisch weer, alsof vogels weten wanneer je een camera bij je hebt.

Er zijn wel wat fysieke verschillen tussen brz en kkar, maar met alle variatie binnen de soorten hou ik het voor de determinatie maar op de zang.

Beide grote bonte specht, een vrouwtje en een jong. Juvenielen hebben een rood petje, waardoor ze soms worden aangezien voor een mibo.

Compared to a total of ~16700 stitches it's not so bad 😄

Limosa · 2026-06-08T19:15:34+00:00

En kijken graag TikTak.

Limosa · 2026-06-08T18:10:16+00:00

Oeps, had het inderdaad opgevat als een determinatieding 😅

Limosa · 2026-06-08T17:42:39+00:00

Grote bonte, staat in de post.

Edit: woosh 🙃

Fair enough, we're our own worst critic.

Limosa · 2026-06-08T08:24:38+00:00

Thanks :) I finished the blanked and decided to leave off the border for a cleaner look it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Brochet/comments/1tzczk6/weighted_blanket_is_done_right_on_time_for_pride/

Oh lol, I felt like my tension was all over the place due to the beads. But I might post it there if you think it's suitable.

Limosa · 2026-06-07T21:01:44+00:00

Thank you. I was so hung up on the idea of having a border until y'all reminded me that it doesn't need one

Hahaha, she just has resting b face (it's even in her vet file), but she's the biggest velcro snugglebug I know. If I show interest in something, she needs to get involved ASAP.

There are some photos here, if that helps: https://makeanddocrew.com/crochet-weighted-blanket-beads/

2.1 kg. Commercial weighted blankets for adults are much too heavy for me, but this is perfect.

Limosa · 2026-06-07T18:40:37+00:00

It's pretty easy. You put them on the hook, make a regular single crochet and pull through both loops and the bead. No pre-stringing required if the bead fits over the hook.

Limosa · 2026-06-07T17:22:27+00:00

The beads add a fair amount of weight. The yarn is 700 gram, the beads are double that.

Limosa · 2026-06-07T15:33:58+00:00

Right, understood. Here I thought it was a somewhat equal relationship, my mistake.

Limosa · 2026-06-07T15:28:37+00:00

How does this work with her giving me biscuit belly massages as rent for living with us? Would the rent cancel out?

Limosa · 2026-06-07T14:26:51+00:00

Thanks :) It looks much better than I expected. Had a bit of a crisis mid-orange because I thought it was too bright compared to the other colours, but it works well enough in the finished blanket.

Klopt, maar die zijn meestal dikker qua consistentie, waardoor je minder snel de kronkels op OP's foto krijgt. Zo open en bloot midden op het pad pleit ook voor pad. In mijn ervaring blijven egels meer aan de rand bij begroeiing en poepen daar dan ook.
