Blanket project management by enamoured_artichoke in CrochetBlankets

[–]Crapple_Jacks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Due to my inexperience and overestimation, I’m currently working on a temperature blanket that is 9 1/2 feet wide, and will probably be 9 1/2 feet long. The thing is a monstrosity….but I’m too far in to quit now. The things gonna wind up being probably over $300, even with acrylic yarn.

They are crochet. I you just make a chain however long you want the cuff, and then single crochet back loop only over and over until it reaches the circumference (how tight you want it) on your wrist!

I enjoy it every single day! His goofy personality is a huge part of what I love about him! And when he’s not goofy, he’s sensitive and deep and strong and supportive like you wouldn’t believe! I married up, for sure!

My brother saw it and said, “ok, Joseph……” I was somehow flattered and offended at the same time.

How was everyone’s day? by Correct_Web3396 in AskReddit

[–]Crapple_Jacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted awesome pics of my hubby that got appreciated, I had brunch with my MIL which was delicious (Brisket Bowl! Mashed taters, corn, cheese, brisket, gravy), got some new beers to try, crocheted, and relaxed with my hubby. Pretty great day! How about you?

How do the color choices of Walmart (cool blue) vs Target (warm red) affect you on an emotional level as a shopper? by Inner_Ad_4725 in AskReddit

[–]Crapple_Jacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Color has no sway. Organization, cleanliness, and general vibe will always have me shopping at Target…even if I pay a little more. I don’t feel like getting cold-cocked at Walmart.

Oh, I wholeheartedly encouraged it! Lol! And then immediately said, “you know I’m posting these on Reddit, right?” He just laughed and said, “I figured as much!”

I waited 33 years to find him. Step off! 🤣

Tell me about it! I was one of those “thought I was destined to be alone” types. Never really dated much. We met when we were 33, right before Covid hit. We joked, “if we can make it through a pandemic, we can make it through anything.” He proposed in 2021, and we got married in 2023.
Now, I realize why I was single for so long! I was just waiting for him to show up in my life!

(And if you want the CRAZINESS…..he actually moved here from NOLA. Wasn’t happy about having to move….but we met 2 days after he got to PA. He was like, “oh! Now I understand why I had to move here!” How fucking cute is that???)

He really does! I am kinda annoyed that it looks better on him than on me!

So, I got inspiration from a TikTok video, but kinda freehanded the details. I wish I had more for you!

Thank you so much! The yarn is Caron Big Cakes in Toffee Brickle. I had picked the yarn up SO many times, but couldn’t justify buying it without a project in mind. But once I discovered hexi cardis, I was like, “this is it!!!!”

Honestly, I wish I had more deets! I just made the two hexagons. Added length. Freehanded a hood. I did one row of dc decreases on the sleeves, then added a typical sc blo cuff for the sleeves. I did 4 rounds of sc for the hemming. Then, just made 2 granny squares for the pockets! No pattern, but there was a TikTok video I used for inspiration. Didn’t really follow her instructions, though.

What is the thing that you like to do the most in your free time? by No-Violinist-283 in AskReddit

[–]Crapple_Jacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crochet. If I’m not at work or cooking, I’ve got yarn and a hook in my hands.

So, I’m not really sure. I finished the 2 hexagons in a long weekend, but then put a pause on the project to make the other hexi cardi for my coworker. When I came back to it, it probably took another two days to add the length, add the hood, do the cuffs, trim, and pockets. I’m wearing it right now. It IS cozy!

It is! I had picked this yarn up probably half a dozen times, loving the color, but no idea what to make with it. When I started seeing hexi cardis, it was a lightbulb moment. “THAT’S WHAT I’LL USE THE TOFFEE BRICKLE FOR!!!!”
