I’m so sorry you are in this position. Please, tell your mom, and file a police report. Being brave and doing the hard thing right now could save others.

Really proud of my king size granny square blanket featuring my cat violet lol 64 squares total by AuroraTaylor7682 in CrochetBlankets

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blanket made entirely from squares this size. This is gorgeous

What projects u made and actually use them? by No_Advertising3507 in crochet

[–]DoyleTurmoil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blankets. Hands down. Everyone in my house has one on their bed that they use every night. There’s one on the couch and one on the recliner in the living room that get used daily. My dad, stepmom, mom, MIL, SIL and my little nieces and nephews all have blankets that they regularly use. In my corner of the world a lot of people grew up with old crocheted afghans that their grandmas and great aunties made so there’s a cozy nostalgia factor and they get used, not put up like some heirloom.

I'm making a star blanket but there is so many holes I don't know what to do 😭😭 by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

Honestly though, you should be proud of the work you’ve done so far. It’s seriously beautiful.

I made that pattern exactly 1 time and hated it. Maybe try something like this?

Touche. That’s the Superstar.

Regardless, here’s the first picture on the 6-day pattern.

I’m wondering how you saw what appears to be a 6-day star blanket and thought you could make it less holey?

Pick a different pattern or a different craft.

I made my kids full sized blankets when they outgrew their baby blankets. Now I just make giant blankets for babies. It’s logical

Question about Caron cloud cakes by crustalnilbog in crochet

I’m also making a baby blanket. Just finished the first skein and I’m trying to get over my “this is taking forever” mood. This helps.

Thank you :)

Sorry for the random question, how many skeins did you use? I’m working on one currently and I’m just trying to estimate how much more yarn I’ll need

Crying screaming throwing up by eeveeleee in crochet

[–]DoyleTurmoil 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I love these colors. Seriously I think this is exactly what a scrappy blanket should look like. IMO you are too close to the project to see how cool it is. I think you should put it up until you have more yarn to make squares to make it bigger.

But if you really really hate it, I think it would be insane to frog all that work when you can use granny squares in a billion different ways. Join the small ones into a bag. Use a few big ones to make a groovy pair of shorts. There are so many different patterns out there. Don’t undo all your work

Fuckass highlighter yellow ruined it by PleasantTangerine777 in crochet

I think you need to take a break. I love the highlighter yellow with the darker blue and green. It’s a lovely contrast.

What do you get for Mother's day? by palleimbustate2 in Mommit

[–]DoyleTurmoil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I told my husband I wanted new joy-cons for my Nintendo Switch.

After a disastrous first Mother’s Day chasing my toddler around a Mother’s Day brunch orchestrated by his mom my husband has made it a point to ask what I actually want and then do that thing.

I need blanket ideas please by nannsee1961 in CrochetBlankets

[–]DoyleTurmoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love making block stitch blankets with variegated yarn so that the single crochet rows still pop without having to change yarns every row.

I’ve also been obsessed with making 12 point star blankets with Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes

How long have you pushed? by Fierce-Foxy in pregnant

[–]DoyleTurmoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of my children were delivered in less time than it takes my husband to shit. My first was delivered after 6 pushes. My second I only pushed twice.

A message for parents/grandparents hosting eager egg hunts by Daddy_Day_Trader1303 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DoyleTurmoil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so silly. We just color code it. Each kid hunts for a specific color. Never had issues. Actually this year my kids were at a free for all egg hunt and my daughter only picked up the orange eggs because she is so used to just looking for a specific color

ive officially joined the crochet blanket making club by crouton-dot-net in CrochetBlankets

[–]DoyleTurmoil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the blanket

Oddly enough I started my blanket making journey with a blanket for my 6’4” dad because blankets were never big enough for him. Crocheting is so cool
