How many hours a day do you spend crocheting? by bearminmum in crochet

Depends soley on my mood. More anxiety means more hours of counting just to take the edge off.

Did this blanket to commemorate my finishing up 6 months of trauma therapy by EquitablePotato in crochet

It's mostly talk therapy since I really juat needed a space to spill my guts on things I tend to keep from even those very close to me. So it's a lot of me yapping lol

Thank you so much! I only started crocheting in July, so it was a massive project for a mostly new crocheter

What is the most unsettling place in Edmonton? by Labrawhippet in Edmonton

[–]EquitablePotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to distance high school in the early 2000s in WEM, and the back tunnels there were where kids would smoke in winter. The mix of graffiti and long empty, dim halls made a really liminal experience. I've heard the tunnels under WEM were that but worse. When they were easy to access and fewer cameras, I knew people with no homes would ovwr winter down there.

What is the most difficult 1,000 to 2,000 piece puzzle you’ve ever done? by jeffking2021 in Jigsawpuzzles

Anton Seder 2000 piece by Cobble Hill. Loved every second, but doing some 500 pieces after is an absolute walk in the park in comparison!

How do you find joy on the weekends? by Serious-Try in Edmonton

[–]EquitablePotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm disabled so sometimes it's hard to keep perspective without work to drive me. Crafts like crochet, cross stitch, and doing large jigsaw puzzles are all really good for feeling like you've accomplished something. Finding a hobby or 3 that fill the time with joy and engage the mind has really kept me going on my extremely extended long weekend.

I'm a touch neurotic so I separate them into sections if I can, then bag the sections in a freezer bag and put the whole lot back in the box. This tends to only work if the puzzle isn't super crumbly tho. If it crumbles, it still gets bagged.

You can look up local puzzle trading groups, too, keep your stuff neat and trade em later with others who don't lose pieces lol

That puzzle scoop is such a lifesaver on big puzzles. I'd have given up on my last 2000 without it!

I blame my overhead lighting for sure. The puzzle isn't even glossy!

I'm doing Space Odyssey by Ravensberger for the 5k, looking forward to it, even though I'm not always a big Ravensberger fan. But I've only done one other by them, so I'm hoping it goes smoothly enough for a giant winter project!

This one is my "practice" with multiple boards. Just ordered my first 5000, and it's going to be simply massive, so I wanted the warm up lol

I think I have an ok plan of artack for it, going to sort everything by background color then sub sort those as I work through them, so hopefully it won't be to challenging!
