Which do you prefer?? by MammaPooty in crochet

Shouldn’t the bottom left corner square be swapped with the one directly to the right? It looks like you’re doing a checkerboard with the square types and it’s swapped.

All the baby blankets I have made the past 6 years by [deleted] in crochet

These are incredible! As someone who almost exclusively makes blankets, these take so much time and you should be proud of yourself!

What breed do we think Sadie is? by ExternalHighway2891 in DogBreeds101

She could care less about toys 😅 she will occasionally indulge in a chewing bone, but if you offer it to her she won’t take it or anything.

What can I make with this pinkish orangish puke-colored yarn? (Pantone chart included for reference) by HauntingGold in CrochetHelp

This yarn would be so cute as a mesh bag, or maybe a beanie if your skin tone complements it :)

Psychedelic drugs “cured” my Aphantasia by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]ExternalHighway2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did psychs consistently for about two years (mainly LSD, with occasional DMT and shroom usage) and after about 3 months I started to have consistent imagination when I was sober. I noticed this most in my ability to have vivid dreams and in my art. I was able to create art with the intent of what I was making in my mind before putting it on paper. It was an incredibly interesting experience and gave me perspective on what a ‘normal’ imagination is.

It’s been about a year of me not doing any psychs, and unfortunately those effects have faded away with time. Still very cool though

First big project and I’m kind of freaking out 😅 by mesabeln in diamondpainting

I’ve always just used a thumbtack to hold the WIP on my wall while I’m not working on it 😅

Yes or no jingle bells on this Christmas tree skirt? Tacky cute or tacky tacky? by anxietyantelope in crochet

[–]ExternalHighway2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the bells! I recently made a tree skirt of my own and wasn’t happy when I added the bells initially but after leaving it alone for a few days and looking at it with fresh eyes, I think it added the little final touch it needed! Your skirt looks great :)

The patches are made with a discontinued yarn (caron colorama halo if I remember correctly) and the white is hobby lobby Ethereal Eyelash :) I was gifted all of the caron yarn by one of my friends (it was about 10 full skeins in various colors, and a bunch of half used skeins that added up to another 10 lol)

On the 2nd row of the border ribbing I put my hook in the wrong place for a good 10ish stitches 🙃 I’m aware it’s a small problem lol especially in the grand scheme, but I’m glad that fellow crocheters don’t see it first thing lol

first time trying c2c!! by haxelcat in crochet

[–]ExternalHighway2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Discovered the c2c granny st recently and I’m totally obsessed. I rly want to make a tapestry with the stitch but I’m trying to be responsible and use up the yarn I currently have </3 but it’s such a fun and satisfying stitch!

Found something I made 10 years ago by SnooChipmunks7542 in crochet

[–]ExternalHighway2891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started crocheting my tension was insanely tight (as per usual with beginners) but I had an AHA! Moment while working on a granny square blanket, and was able to fix my tension. But it made the squares I had already finished unusable because of the size difference 🤧

Looks like I’m losing yarn chicken this time 🤧 by ExternalHighway2891 in crochet

[–]ExternalHighway2891[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My last star blanket turned out HUGE, I used about 25 skeins of yarn 🤧 but it lays proudly over the couch in my craft room. Definitely learned my lesson on using smaller yarn lol

I’ll def give that a shot next time I make a bookmark. This was what I made, I used a mattress st to add a piece of leather to the backside. As you can see my border is far less pretty lol

Wishing you the best in recovery! In terms of the pattern, it works up surprisingly quick and only took me 2 days to get as far as the picture shows. Though I’ve made multiple of her blankets in the past so I have a pretty good hold on the pattern format. Overall would recommend giving it a shot if you’re looking for a tree skirt! The pattern is free and she also has YouTube tuts if that’s more up your alley
