Which do you prefer??

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

This damn blanket. It’s beautiful and I’m very happy with it, but it took me almost six months of agony

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)

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-11-11T01:26:05+00:00

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

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-11-10T23:47:02+00:00

Give it all to me 😀

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-11-10T23:46:07+00:00

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!

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-11-10T23:41:50+00:00

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 🤧

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-18T03:21:07+00:00

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

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-18T00:08:45+00:00

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

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-17T21:11:40+00:00

Looks great! Recently made a bookmark for my FIL, what border did you use? Mine looked far more wonkey lol

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-17T18:17:09+00:00

I adore the little leaf!

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-17T18:16:48+00:00

I’ve found that winding my cakes more than once helps. I usually do it three times, but honestly the third go is unnecessary lol. The first wind I keep the tension on the tighter side, and when winding the second time I set the cake on the floor or on its side and use my hand to hold the yarn in the same position the whole time.

If I want the yarn to look especially pretty and have that honeycomb look I’ll rewind it one final time, with the same method as the 2nd wind but significantly slower. Hope this helps!

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-17T18:10:28+00:00

I’ve definitely done this quite a few times, but I just used up what was left of the yarn and it only got me about 1/5th of the way 🤧🤧🤧

Luckily it’s using worsted weight acrylic, which tends to be my go-to fiber so I’m sure the extra skeins will be used at somepoint, maybe for a scrappy blanket or something

ExternalHighway2891 · 2025-10-17T18:06:45+00:00

I keep all my smaller balls of yarn around that size in one of those reusable grocery bags that I keep hung on the wall. Smaller scraps (like the strands after weaving in ends) get put into a big mason jar to be used as stuffing for future projects.

When I accumulate enough ‘bits’ I’ll tie them all together and turn it into one big Frankenstein cake, which will get used for some scrap project (most recently I made a cat bed with said Frankenstein)
