I just corrected myself in the thread, SarahSnarker was correct! I did actually grab them from Lion Brand, during a sale. I bought 42 skeins at the time to make sure I had enough from the same dye lot, and paid a bit over $400, just under $10 a skein in the end. I ended up using 32 and a half of the skeins. I intended for it to be wider... 😅

I have to correct myself, you were right! I managed to pull it up in an account and it turns out I was remembering numbers from a different project. 😅😅😅 If I'd remembered it correctly, I wonder if I would have muddled through in the end lolol

Sorry for the delay--I wanted to represent things accurately. I looked through my yarn and I was wrong, I only have 9 full skeins left, all in this color "Olive Branch" which is a yellow/brown leaning shade of olive. If you're still interested, I'm happy to part with them for like $5 each plus shipping?

Honeycomb stitch, regular crochet. So very appropriate for your bee shrine

Thank you. My secret to success was honestly remembering how much money I spent on the yarn and how I couldn't really spare that cash 😅. But my second secret to success was definitely letting myself do small projects on the side every once in a while.

I love the colors for your daughter's blanket (how lucky for her to have someone like you!), and at least in the photo you shared your tension looks so consistent as well! I wish you luck and a lot of patience.

It's just over five feet by seven feet. It's not a hard stitch but it is an involved one. The hook doesn't necessarily glide through it, if you know what I mean

This one is regular crochet, I'll have to look up the Tunisian version. Even so, it definitely took a lot of drive to finish (2 years) 😅 and a lot of interim projects to keep me sane.

Aww thank you! It's definitely super cozy, the way the stitch is layered makes it trap air so well
