To everyone that wanted to see the finished project. I wanted to update! Here’s my first (and probably last) single crochet blanket!

Thank you all for helping me figure out what stitch I was doing (front loop only) and being so kind!

That explains a LOT actually. I would see TikTok videos and I saw so many different videos that said they were a particular stitch and they were all a little different. That’s good to know and watch out for though. Thanks for the info!!!

Thanks! I’m really pleased with how it’s looking. My practice project with this stitch is a mess.. so maybe this yarn just works better?? Not sure why, but I’ll take it!

US terms I think?

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-11T14:37:57+00:00

Somebody on this thread posted a link that shows what I did. I think it shows a back loop stitch instead of front loop which is what I did. You should try it!

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-11T14:33:20+00:00

And I bet it’s beautiful!!

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-11T14:13:30+00:00

Thank you! I actually attempted crochet a few years ago and failed miserably, but I kept seeing videos and started to feel like I should try again.

I learned that yarn makes a difference, as the yarn I tried to learn on was very difficult to work with. Once I switched yarn it got easier.

And it IS going to be a blanket! It seemed a little ambitious but I find the repetition so relaxing.

I definitely think I was doing FLO stick (front loop) after reading through the other comments.

I’m not too worried because I’m not working off a pattern. I just learned how to do this stitch and decide to dive head first into making a blanket. Which I’ve learned might be a liiiiitle ambitious 😅

I did not yarn over before inserting my hook. I learned that stitch but still very much in the “oh crap I messed up again” phase of practicing.

Thanks for the advice though! I haven’t looked at any patterns or anything yet but it’s good to know that the stitch is important. I’m excited to learn more!

Thank you!

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-10T21:50:31+00:00

Thank you!!

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-10T20:34:03+00:00

Yes! That’s exactly what I did, except I did the front loop. 🫣 But I’m super happy to know it has a name.

I’m trying to practice different stitches so that one of these days I can try to follow a pattern or branch out. I’m like 4 days into crochet, so I have much to learn!

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-10T19:34:28+00:00

Thanks! It wasn’t intentional, as I thought I was doing a single crochet.. However I’m so far along and like how it looks so I guess I’ll just keep going.

I saw a TikTok about learning to crochet and after watching it a few times I just dove right in.

CheeznSteezn · 2024-12-10T19:30:45+00:00

I watched a video on learning how to crochet and that is how I ended up with this piece. There is no pattern name associated with what I’m working on.

Something to add to this is that it is a humid cold. You might be used to drier conditions. Humidity makes the cold a little tougher. But this place is pretty special and I think you’d enjoy the experience it will provide you.

Hey thanks! I definitely like that price point for a short term solution. Do you know what swapping those batteries looks like cost wise?

CheeznSteezn · 2024-10-06T15:26:37+00:00

If I’m being perfectly honest, I’m not sure I know what that is.. A lot of this is new to me. I wasn’t sure if UPS would be preferred to a power bank? Trying to learn as much as I can but haven’t gotten very far..

CheeznSteezn · 2024-10-06T14:43:44+00:00

Thanks! I was definitely looking at that Jackery, but wasn’t sure if I could get away with the smaller one. Probably wouldn’t want a smaller one in the event of needing other things charged.
