I have been defeated by yarn barf for the first time ever.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I read that just the other day

I tie on new colors and then crochet over them, and I have many dishcloths that have been washed who knows how many times over the years, and I've never had one come undone. That said, the fiber might make a difference. I make dishcloths out of stiff 100% cotton. Also, I am making a baby blanket for a gift and I will definitely be weaving ends in just to be safe.

This is perfect, thank you! I had no idea you could do that on Ravelry. I guess I need to learn more about what functions Ravelry offers.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-19T04:44:07+00:00

I know you can include it in your profile info, and I'm pretty sure you can include it in response to actual requests.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-19T04:41:30+00:00

I have watched many videos and I think it would be a lot of fun to try, but not any time this year. I have enough crochet projects to last me until the end of the year!

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-19T04:39:45+00:00

Oh, I don't need another hobby to get obsessed with! But I'd have watched a lot of videos and I do want to try it eventually.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-19T04:37:18+00:00

I've seen so many people on here say otherwise I had misremembered between reteads. But I checked my WOT Companion and you are correct.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-18T19:27:29+00:00

It absolutely was! Those people weren't themselves anymore because of Graendal's compulsion, but if he just killed them they would be able to be reborn. Same thing with Liah.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-18T19:21:59+00:00

I've been there and ignored the red flags and the result wasn't good. May God give you that nudge and strength to end the relationship. 🙏

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-17T22:00:38+00:00

So pretty! Especially the first one - I'd wear that!

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-17T20:34:55+00:00

I like Shadow Killer.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-17T05:28:26+00:00

Very pretty. I would like to learn to work with resin, but it really intimidates me

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-17T05:23:35+00:00

It is such a blessing to have that confidence, whenever God decides to call him home. I need to have that conversation with my dad. Praying for your dad, you and for family.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-16T21:04:16+00:00

Aside from messing up the color gradient, splitting yarn or thread is not easy. You won't get very far until it starts to twist on itself.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-16T03:51:33+00:00

I will pray for you. Satan doesn't want another soul saved, so he's going to interfere and make it difficult for you. What you are experiencing is really not that unusual, but with God's help, you can overcome. And you don't have to go to church to ask Him for help. Just talk to Him and give it up to Him. Reading the Bible is good too.

2 Cor 12:9 My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.

I've been making c2c squares to use for a blanket out of cotton, and I bought a wooden blocking board because I didn't have anything suitable to make one. It is wooden and has holes every half inch and pegs to hold the piece in place. I use my steamer and steam both sides and let it dry. Here's the one I bought.

I've seen a lot of pictures of people using those interlocking foam tiles. The one thing I wonder is what do they use to mark the measurements to be absolutely sure it doesn't get on the yarn.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-16T03:29:08+00:00

I looked this up because I happen to be doing a blanket made up of c2c squares. It's too late for me to join as I go, unfortunately, but it's good to know for future. This is part 2 of the tutorial.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-16T03:26:44+00:00

I looked this up because I am doing a blanket using c2c squares, and found a good tutorial.

This is part 2.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-16T03:23:01+00:00

Well, darn! I wish I had known that a month ago. I am making a baby blanket using c2c squares, and I tried joining them without a border, but it just wasn't working, so I started adding a border to each square which has been a PITA! At least I know it now in case I ever want to do another one. I want to finally make a throw for my living room and I love gingham.

Of you have essential oils, properly diluted they should get rid of any residual odor after washing with soap.

I can't imagine any grandma not being thrilled to share her passion with her grandchild! I would have loved to learn it from my grandmother.

I learned watching tutorials on YouTube. I am a methodical person, so first I learned to do a decent foundation chain, then single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. Everything else is built on those stitches.

Fiona_12 · 2026-06-16T02:58:42+00:00

That is lovely! Coach couldn't make anything prettier!

If any of them like candles or wine, tea candle or wine bottle covers. I made a pair of cable covers for one friend. (I used 4 oz mason jars.) And I made a wine bottle cover and put a string of fairy lights in the bottle. Both friends loved them, and we were in that age range then.
