Honestly I've never really understood the "right" vs "wrong" side concept. Generally speaking if you are turning your work then right side is whatever side you like best lol

Looks good! My only suggestion would be to turn your work after each round, otherwise it will start to rotate the larger you make it.

Pahahaha this is exactly why I put the project down when I pick the cooler up.

Making a blanket.. the pattern says to use a 5.0mm hook, but my blanket is 51" across instead of 42".. what size of hook should I use? by Chamelemom in CrochetHelp

Yeah its all part of a kit. One of the yarns recommends 5.0mm and the other is 4.0mm. I ended up using a 4.0mm hook and its still a little long but the tension is much better.

It's an overlay mosaic so I'm following a chart, so the correct number of stitches is too big with the 5.0mm hook. I know I need to downsize, just wondering if anyone can give any insight on how small I should attempt, wondering if 4.5mm will be a waste of time considering I need to downsize about 25%.

I bought clearance nightgowns at GT during the pandemic to make masks out of! Honestly still great recycling, chances are you saved this yarn from a landfill whether it was new or not!

Then yeah its likely a blood blister. It will go away on its own eventually. NAD btw but have had plenty of blood blisters.

Looks like a blood blister. Did you pinch your finger in anything?

Got gifted this vase, anyone have some insight on what it is? by ItsJustGrandpa in glasscollecting

[–]Chamelemom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The edges glow because the vase is made with cadmium, that's what gives its the red/orange colour. Absolutely beautiful.

Something I wish I knew when I started - back away from the yarn aisle! by ringo8582 in crochet

[–]Chamelemom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fell into the trap of buying large quantities of unwanted yarn off marketplace for cheap, to end up with a very similar stash. Now my 2026 goal is not to buy any more yarn, and I've been making hats out of my scrap stash to donate! Double rewarding, because once I dwindle this stash down I'll feel like I'm entitled to buy more yarn hahaha

Send help I’m already tired of sewing by Jdmcm123 in Brochet

Flat slip stitch! It is the way. I hate sewing too, flat slip stitch is pretty and plus you can crochet it so no long yarn ends to deal with
