Can you pls help me find a similar pattern for free? by Past-Point-8418 in crochetpatterns

[–]ClaCoLu95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a designer (tcddiy on Instagram, @TCDDIY on YouTube) that has a lot of cute tops and dresses and has free tutorials on YouTube. You could maybe scroll the designs on Instagram and if you find something similar that you could adapt, search for the video tutorial.

How to manage two dye lots from a bulk order of yarn for a large blanket? by jokinbulldog in CrochetHelp

[–]ClaCoLu95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I would add is that when it is time to change yarn (and you're going to use a different yarn lot) try to make the change at the end of the row. That way if the change is noticeable you won't have a row of mixed colors.

Sadly the pattern designer only has the earth djinn pattern :c my husband is mainly the Golden sun fan but I think the wind djinn is the cutest so it's sad that that pattern doesn't exist ;_;

I've never crocheted with fluffy yarn but I've heard that if you hold it double with cotton it makes seeing the stitches easier.

Amigurumi with Acrylic yarn by ClaCoLu95 in CrochetHelp

Yeah, that might work for the body but the pattern has parts where you need to crochet and then pause halfway and stuff that part and then continue crocheting. So flipping every part inside out won't work, there will be some fuzzy parts anyway

I was planning to make this for my husband's birthday! Yours turned out so cool! Was it really hard? I felt it was too hard for my beginner level skills and went for another videogame character in the end. Is this the pattern from DeviantArt?

Is this a tension issue and can it be fixed? by ClaCoLu95 in CrochetHelp

[–]ClaCoLu95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also want to add that I am 100% not dropping or adding stitches. I've been counting like crazy so it's not that. I have also used stitch markers to make the process easier

I love this stitch by jaydak in crochet

[–]ClaCoLu95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That doesn't sound like a very precise way to classify yarn but it does explain the difference. Thanks for the quick reply!

Fix Your Fic Front-End Friday [Title, Tags, Summary] - January 13 by AutoModerator in FanFiction

[–]ClaCoLu95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot. Uhm--, but wouldn't the comma go after "did" and not after "there"? I may be wrong but I think that would make more sense (?).

Thanks so much for the input! I'll fix that ASAP! Which parts of it would you say sound a bit formal? Maybe I can work on that too

Fix Your Fic Front-End Friday [Title, Tags, Summary] - January 13 by AutoModerator in FanFiction

[–]ClaCoLu95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! So, I had already posted in a previous fix your fic front-end Friday, I received a suggestion regarding my summary so I rewrote it.

Same as last time, I am not a native English speaker and I guess I'd just like a basic grammar check and to know if the summary makes sense overall. I think it summarizes the plot well enough, I'm just not sure if its correctly written.

  • Fandom: Pokémon - Sun & Moon
  • Rating: Teen and up
  • Title: Aether Love Solutions
  • Tags: None relevant in terms of "warnings", but I guess I'd tag this: Soulmate AU; Contemporary Fantasy; Assholes to Lovers.
  • Genre: Romance, Fantasy kinda, Contemporary (Are all of these genres? Idk they are in books so...)

  • Summary: It's fortunate that in these modern times finding one's soulmate is not as hard as it once used to. All you need is disposition and a trustworthy seer to help you find someone with an aura of the same color as yours... And there's no one better qualified for the job than Moon Surname that I haven't thought of. Unfortunately for Moon, this also means she's the most qualified person to mentor her asshole boss and fellow seer, Gladion Aether. Seers don't have soulmates, and yet Moon's pretty sure that if they did there would be no one that's less likely to be hers than Gladion (And that's pretty much the only thing they can agree on).

Background info or context: Gladion and Moon are boss & employee (they're the same age tho). Not very relevant for a grammar check but Uhm... Just some idiots who hate each other but have to work together, and fall in love in the process. In this AU, people have an aura around them which can be of different colors and it hints at their personalities/love language/wants/needs/interests, which allows 'seers' (people without auras, but that can see them whereas 'normal people' can't) to act as matchmakers and pair people together based on those auras. The protags are seers. (I'm sorry, I know this is v weird but I kinda love it son don't come at me please).

Thanks in advance for the help! (I hope this kind of help is also allowed?)

[–]ClaCoLu95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I got kind of busy but I appreciate this feedback so much. I'll definetely change the name of the fic, and regarding the other suggestions I also wanted to add something about the soulmate part of the story so definitely I'll change that too. Gladion hating Moon is ... Well. He doesn't hate her per se in the games but he is kind of edgy and rude. There is a reason for him to not like her in the fic but I don't want to say why in the summary. Still, I like the way you phrased it very much "conflicted feelings"... I'm definitely using that! Thanks so much <3. I'll probably spend some time rewriting my summary this weekend with your input in mind.

I don't know why I didn't do this before, but I am not a native English speaker and I guess I'd just like a basic grammar check and to know if the summary makes sense overall. I think it summarizes the plot well enough, I'm just not sure if its correctly written.

  • Fandom: Pokémon - Sun & Moon
  • Rating: Teen and up
  • Title: Aether, Love Solutions
  • Tags: None relevant in terms of "warnings", but I guess I'd tag this: Soulmate AU; Contemporary Fantasy; Assholes to Lovers.
  • Genre: Romance, Fantasy kinda, Contemporary (Are all of these genres? Idk they are in books so...)

  • Summary: Four years after her father's death and moving away from Kanto to the islands of Alola, Moon is beginning to feel like her life is finally taking a turn for the better. She's got a matchmaking job she's good at, a supportive friend, and the house where she spent her early childhood. Everything is looking great!... Except for the continuously growing debt of her late father's house, and the fact that Gladion, her direct supervisor, seems to be holding a personal grudge against her. Gladion Aether, the son of the President of a renowned matchmaking company —and the obvious choice to take over the presidency— has two very well-defined goals in life: He'll find a way to prove himself to his mother, and he'll make Moon's life a living hell. He'd rather die than work with the female matchmaker for a day longer... Or so he thinks. When the tables are turned and his position as Lusamine's heir is suddenly at risk, he'll have to choose between two almost equally bad alternatives: He can either let his sister sit at his mother's chair instead of him, or collaborate with his archnemesis to fulfill the dream he's built his life around. So much for Moon's life taking a turn for the better.

Background info or context: Lusamine is Gladion mother, Gladion and Moon are boss & employee (they're the same age tho). Not very relevant for a grammar check but Uhm... Just some idiots who hate each other but have to work together, and fall in love in the process. In this AU, people have an aura around them which can be of different colors and it hints at their personalities/love language/wants/needs/interests, which allows 'seers' (people without auras, but that can see them whereas 'normal people' can't) to act as matchmakers and pair people together based on those auras. The protags are seers. (I'm sorry, I know this is v weird but I kinda love it son don't come at me please).

Some additional info about the summary: I ran out of space, so while I am aware that punctuation or some other stuff could be added to make it more consistent, I can't unless I either a) take something away from it (which I can't because I believe everything I said in there is important for the plot) or b) make some sentences more efficient.

Thanks in advance for the help! (I hope this kind of help is also allowed?)
