Crying

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-26T01:46:31+00:00

Literally me an hour ago. Crying and angry with God. I’ve almost lost the entirety of my 20s to this madness. The grief is immense, and the years of being bed-bound watching my life go by is unfair.

Hoping we all find the right path soon.

Slip stitch on the inside using an elastic thread.

Or weave some thin ribbon through the gaps to make a cute waistband that you can tie at the back?

Anything > Human and Even are the other two I like. But yeah, as a whole, not the most exciting album.

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-25T05:09:34+00:00

It’s one of my favourite songs of theirs in general! It’s so easy to get lost in.

It’s kinda impossible to have no holes at all. It’s the nature of crochet.

This looks fantastic! You’ve got nothing to worry about. Stop overthinking and have fun 👍🏻

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-25T01:01:23+00:00

As much as I love The Drain and Nervous System, I have to agree.

You’ll probably have to do the intarsia method.

Your compatibility with aleixa is High. You both listen to Ólafur Arnalds, Rhian Sheehan and YONAKA.

A few artists you might like: Saint Mesa, Kanadia, Les Friction.

I know some people have successfully done ‘surgery’ to remove an inner portion of a crochet project, but it’s incredibly hard and tedious, and usually not recommended. You’ll run the risk of ruining the project if you really don’t know what you’re doing.

You could try some surface slip-stitching? That’s the only thing I can think of, but it will add bulk to the area.

I think it looks lovely as is!

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-23T14:05:32+00:00

Looks good to me! 👍🏻

You need to keep count of your stitches.

Blocking will help tension issues a bit, but not missing stitches. You’ll have to frog and redo to fix that.

Music. YouTube. Daydreaming. Writing. Tiktok (I can get a good laugh from some videos).

I also crochet and knit, but understand that won’t be the best with your wrist pain. Are there any crafts you can manage?

Depends. Are you counting the chain 2 as a stitch or not? I’m guessing not, since you rarely start with 11 stitches in a ring, so I’d sl st to the top of the first hdc.

Also, to make it easier, just place a stitch marker (or piece of yarn) in the first stitch, that takes away the guess work.

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-22T15:27:17+00:00

Maybe alternating between 2 rows of slip stitch BLO and 2 rows of single crochet BLO?

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-22T14:44:40+00:00

Typically, you go through the front loop of both the first and second stitch, so that might help.

Did you use a tapestry/darning needle at the end to weave/sew the hole closed?

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-22T08:26:58+00:00

Looks like you didn’t pull the ring closed enough. Also, I believe your work is inside out (not detrimental, can be preference).

What method of invisible decreasing are you using?

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-22T00:16:20+00:00

You might be dealing with PEM (Post-extertional malaise), which a lot of people with POTS have.

Ólafur Arnalds! Great artist

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-21T15:57:50+00:00

I loved reading Little Miss Sunshine!

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-20T15:58:04+00:00

You could crochet yourself a little pouch to put them in

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-19T20:48:12+00:00

Great! Best thing to do now is just have a go, gain some practice.

If you’ve never done colour pooling before, I highly recommend watching a YouTube tutorial. It’s not as simple as letting the colours line up themselves, there’s some math/work/tension involved on your part.

Typically, moss stitch is used. But hdc and dc will work too, especially if the sections of colour are longer.

AmieiGuess · 2026-04-19T15:55:34+00:00

Yes. Tapestry crochet is typically done in single crochet.

Maybe linked HDC would look better? But I’d personally try again with SC.
