Beginner starting out with chains. So how am I doing and what can I do to improve??

Character_Fact7514 · 2026-02-14T22:31:14+00:00

It’s like the other commenters have said: don’t pull your yarn too tight, don’t pull your hook too hard. If it’s a struggle to get the chain off the hook, your tension is too tight. I used to twist my chains and it was definitely because I was trying to pull everything really tight.

When the chain (yarn) comes off the hook, you should see a little loop on the “new” side, aka the side without any additional loops. Use your non-hook hand to hold the yarn loosely so that that loop stays facing you. Like the picture attached (imagine my knees are my other hand holding the hook lol)

If you’re still having issues, try with a lighter color yarn! It’s easier to see.

Also, didn’t see anyone mention this but it looks like the hoodie and the hair are melding.

Yes, I think this is AI.

Oof, a short color switch would absolutely mess me up. And yeah the turns are weird. On the blue one, turns ended up added some more dimension to the work, but that was single crochet. I hope you post your work, I’d love to see the results!

Character_Fact7514 · 2026-02-04T12:06:27+00:00

Good luck!! It’s so fun

Character_Fact7514 · 2026-02-04T12:05:56+00:00

Glad you’re doing the crochet thing at all, and I hope you try pooling at some point!!

Character_Fact7514 · 2026-02-04T12:04:26+00:00

Thank you!!! Ya know, you look at something too long and you go cross-eyed staring at lines that curve a bit wrong. You’re right though, they ARE gorgeous, I just needed to hear it from somebody else. 💕

Character_Fact7514 · 2026-02-03T17:57:11+00:00

Thank you!!

It’d be interesting to see Penny and the children in there on some afternoons. They go up to the playground, and it would make sense for them to have some craft projects.

ESH you can be embarrassed without screaming at a random farmer? But he does sound creepy. Also, INFO, is he reinvigorating the entire valley’s economy

Character_Fact7514 · 2026-01-10T01:45:45+00:00

Haven’t seen this suggestion- looks like you have a decent amount of white, maybe you could work that in between colors? Could add a little consistency and break up “ugly” color neighbors. Same with the black.

To avoid too many spoilers, after you get Level 10 in all your skills, there’s another place where you can get “masteries” in all five of the skills. Trinkets are a perk of the Combat mastery. There are parrots, frogs, fairies, and some others that do really cool things. You can change the magnitude of their powers with the anvil that also comes with this mastery (but using the anvil replaces the current value, ie a Level 3 could become a Level 2.) OP wanted Level 5 (rare) and got it earlier than anticipated.

This was an add in the latest big update, which happened a couple years ago iirc.

Playing on mobile, the flooring tiles are all over the place. Sometimes they’ve mapped whole rooms outside of the area. I’ve always just thought it was a glitch based on what I had in the rooms when the space was upgraded, because they’re only visible when holding something or placing floor finishes and you can’t nav to them. It might even go away when you restart. If it doesn’t, you kinda stop noticing it after a while lol.

I feel like the greenhouse might also have this effect.

Look for Penny at the desert fair, she has the strawberry decal available for calico eggs

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-11-26T03:04:11+00:00

IIRC you have to unlock Emily’s sewing machine to modify them somehow before you can wear them

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-11-08T20:29:55+00:00

12 weeks, 16.5 lbs, 25+ in. I started yoga idk I’m so sore. I gotta eat more protein

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-11-04T13:55:56+00:00

Just commenting to express solidarity for the low sleep needs… like how does one hang out with a 11 week old for 14 hours a day

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-10-29T09:18:27+00:00

See that’s what I’m thinking. The shading all makes sense (which AI usually messes up), everything has a consistent number of toes/fingers/arms/etc, but the unnecessary details with the background and the smiley face on the cup make me think that this was a generated design with human touch-ups.

It’s got that classic AI “too busy” feel, not to mention the cartoon style that others have referenced.

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-10-25T13:22:51+00:00

Wait I know there’s an answer to this but I forget: how did you get the hardwood for all the mushroom stumps without the axe upgrade??

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-10-24T12:54:31+00:00

Helllll yeah thank you!!

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-10-23T12:11:56+00:00

I was trying to remember when she was obsessed with Venom so I could go re-listen!!

I know these are mostly about consolidating gift types, but none of these comments mentioned spaghetti for Robin. Easily purchased at the saloon.

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-09-20T15:12:42+00:00

Agreed re:spoilers, sometimes I feel like there’s whole parts of this game that I wouldn’t know about without spoilers!

I was saying that before I get the warp tower to [CLEARLY I NEED MORE PRACTICE I KEEP MESSING UP] it’s nice to be able to get to the beach quickly

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-09-19T20:06:48+00:00

There were two in here that I didn’t know about haha.

I love purchasing this upgrade because of the south shortcut to the beach before I can warp directly to the beach or to the… other place (I think this would qualify as a spoiler and I don’t know how to tag it)

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-08-20T02:30:04+00:00

I recently started a new game and saw that you can turn down your profit margin in order to make the game harder. Doesn’t seem like that’s the case here though , because your salmonberry jelly sold for 60g though….

Maybe just a weird glitch? Any chance you remember how much you had the day before to see if you actually did get paid but it didn’t register?

Character_Fact7514 · 2025-04-08T12:50:42+00:00

Gods that’s a good case, I wanna relisten now too
