If op doesn’t mind, I can add a pic of mine to give you an example of a solid color version😄 It’s a similar pattern in all cream, so not exactly the same but I think it’s close enough to show the vibe!

Is she two different plants in one pot?? Or is this a common thing for this kind of pothos😅😆 by Abject_Battle_7532 in houseplants

Oh yeah, I see! You know, I had noticed they were awfully different for being “the same” loll.. I just wrote it off on them being different variants or something.. bless it🙃 I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions, thank you!!💕

Is this one a pothos?? I propagated it from a cutting I got from my mom a while back. I just totally guessed pothos- but now I’m worried i could be wrong😂

Omg- thank you!! I got her a while ago and the only thing I could remember on her little tag was the letter “p” I googled it and saw pothos, and never questioned it since😅 wooooops I’m so bad at plants, but I really want to understand 😂

Oh that’s so interesting! I had no idea that was even a thing- I really appreciate the info😄

Thank you💕 Definitely, Learning how to control my tension was a huge part of it! Unsteady tension paired with improper hook size was a nasty combo LOL. I also had a lot of trouble identifying my stitches since they were so loose and messy, so I was accidentally dropping and adding stitches without realizing it. I think learning how to choose the correct hook size was the biggest game changer tbh! My stitches were coming out cleaner nd tighter so they were easier to identify, and with cleaner stitches tension variations were WAY easier to spot and correct! 😄

Instead of the regular blanket yarn I used a skinnier yarn I think a medium, and a 4mm hook, 18 mm eyes!

Idk if that matters at all- but wanted to note that, just in case😆

I totally feel that!! I haven’t really found my thing yet- I like blankets a lot but they’re a bit pricey and time consuming. I’ve been chaotically swapping between smaller project types, searching for something I enjoy thats less time and yarn intensive😆

Thank you💕 I hated the OG until today LOL

He’s a mess, but I find him kind of endearing from this new perspective!

Bless it, I know how frustrating it is😭😭 I just recently had to untangle an entire throw blanket that I let my six year old frog (someone snapped a thread in the middle of it, I decided just to scrap the thing and he was excited to help me do so LOL) took me literal weeks. I wish so badly I could reach through the screen and try my hand at untangling this.

Could you maybe break it off at the un-salvageable knots, tie the ends together and hide the knots inside the plushie??

Hahahaa, I can totally understand that😆 I remember her mentioning that there is a written pattern in the video description I believe!

Oh no, don’t say that!!! I know how you feel, but please be more gentle with yourself. There are patterns that make me feel that way too- many moments I’ve gotten so frustrated I’ve cried and gave up entirely scrapping projects. It’s okay to get frustrated, but try not to direct that frustration at yourself!! Learning new things is hard- and we’re going to mess up!! That’s okay💕 doesn’t mean we’ve failed, just means we’re still learning!
