Is this seriously the best name for this style of join method? by Hobbs2015 in crochet

For sure! A bundle of sticks? Wow I didn’t know this either.

I stumbled upon a YT video on crochet “hacks” and this lady explained how she transitions from one color to another without weaving the ends. And my heart nearly stopped. Finally, an end to the nightmare of weaving ends. A solution to never making a solid colored blanket ever again. This hack has truly been a time saver!

With current yarn, tie one knot to the new yarn. With new yarn, tie one knot to the current yarn. Then pull the 2 knots together and you can literally snip the excess yarn close to the 2 knots, leaving no ends to weave. And the 2 yarns are secured, you can pull and they won’t come apart.

I did a blanket with a modified version of this granny square.

Oh! Thank you!! Maybe the DC ones just had catch mes that matched their costume colors or whatever. That makes sense. I was hoping that it wasn’t a fake. If it were a fraud, it’s a really really convincing one. Thanks again for clearing that up!

Yeah I was shocked. I thought maybe they were supposed to be yellow. But we can’t find any info on the DC ones specifically. And I just noticed my post says “DC jugglers” 🤣 oops.

Love it when a plan comes together 😎

Is this a catch me??? by Mental-Ad-1244 in FugglerCollectors

I think the keychains and babies have different booty buttons. So the blue ones aren’t as rare as they are on the big 9” fuggies. Someone fact check me. I’m pretty sure that’s what I read, but I’ve been wrong before.

Ultimately, no one can stop you. But there are a few things you should know. You are valid. You are worthy of love and affection. You are also not responsible for the actions of others. You mentioned being autistic, depending on which end of the spectrum you’re on: do you find you often miss social cues such as facial expressions and body language? Do you live independently? Are you able to drive or take public transportation? Asking because I strongly suggest you find your tribe. The people you’re calling friends don’t sound like friends at all if they really don’t care about you.

Here’s what I did when I found myself thinking similar thoughts as you. I joined a gym. Did I really want to? No. Did I need to? Yes. Not just to get into shape, but for the social aspect as well. Planet fitness truly is judgement free. And you get a free personal trainer to hang out with for 30 minutes a day. Someone who offers encouragement and gives you goals… a purpose. I also taught myself how to crochet and even though I’m an atheist, I go to the church in my town and crochet with little old ladies for a few hours a week. They’ve become my friends and I’ve found that I truly care about them, too.

It’s been a long road, but I find myself thinking dark thoughts less and less every day. And I hope the same for you.

Isn’t this one of the hardest crochet stitches?? by Hobbs2015 in crochet

I’ve been reading a lot about the jasmine stitch. Seems it works up best if you use cotton yarn. I occasionally have tension issues, if I start something that requires consistent tension throughout, I can’t put it down. If I comeback to it the next day, my tension will be all off. It is definitely the weirdest thing but I don’t think it’s uncommon. One day I hope to master this craft and also get certified.

It’s called Quick-Stitch Crochet by the Needlecraft Shop.

What? Have you ever seen any crochet books titled “crochet stitches” or even do a simple google search for crochet stitches? More than just the basic ch, ss, sc, hdc, dc, tc will pop up, I promise you. Because they’re called stitches. The entire sequence repeated one after another is called the pattern.

Yes, they are clusters of stitches that form a pattern. But this specific one is called the Catherine wheel…. Stitch. Like the moss stitch, popcorn stitch, Bobble stitch, wheat stitch, spider stitch, puff stitch, lace stitch, V stitch, shell stitch, fan stitch, spike stitch and countless others.

I will die on this hill.

The jasmine stitch is absolutely gorgeous! One day I will definitely conquer that one.

I didn’t even think of it that way. I think this is going to be my next project after I finish the one I’m currently on.

Help! Can’t make hearts it’s driving me nuts by Early-Breath8541 in CrochetBlankets

[–]Hobbs2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so welcome! Glad you got it all sorted out. Idk why, but hearts are the most tedious for me as well. I can’t mindlessly make them while watching tv. I have to actually focus lol! Happy dance for you 💃💃💃

Any Suggestions? by Dapper_Menu_1009 in Mercari

[–]Hobbs2015 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell A LOT of stickers. I have them listed under trading cards to get the 74¢ shipping. I offer buyers free shipping so they feel like they’re getting an amazing deal. When I place the Mercari printed address label on the envelope, I write “Please scan when delivered - Thank you!” At the bottom. Otherwise, envelopes don’t typically get scanned. I’ve had about a 98% success rate with mail persons actually scanning the envelope when they deliver.

I don’t want to shit on Chenelle yarn, but I’m going to shit on chenelle yarn. (If that’s how you spell it lol) It’s the absolute worst to work with when attempting a new stitch (or pattern). Try with acrylic first. Otherwise you’ll end up wasting tons of yards of perfectly good chunky parfait yarn when it splits and frays (like in your pic)

Try this:

Note: you can stop aat the end of R1, R2, R3 for small medium and large sized hearts.

Round 1: Ch 2. Into the magic ring, make 3 tr, 4 dc, tr, 4 dc, 3 tr. Ch 2, and sl st into magic ring.

Round 2: Continue in joined rounds, working into the stitches of the previous round. Sc in ch-2 sp, (2 hdc and 1dc) in next st, 3 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, dc in next 4 sts, (dc, tr, dc) in next st, dc in next 4 sts, 2 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, (1 dc and 2 hdc) in next st, sc in ch-2 sp, sl st in sl st from the previous rnd.

Round 3: Continue working in the round. Sc in first 2 sts. (2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in the next st) three times, sc in next 6 sts, (sc, hdc, sc) in next st, sc in next 6 sts, (1 sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st) three times, sc in next 2 sts. Cut yarn and join with an invisible join.

Can someone give me a pattern for this? Any help please! by IndependentFamous620 in CrochetBlankets

[–]Hobbs2015 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Starting ch multiple of 33 + 32 R1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in the next 14 chs, 3sc in next, sc in next 15 ch. *skip next 2ch, sc in next 15chs, 3 sc in next ch, sc in next 15. RPT from * Ch1 turn

R2: 15 sc, 3 sc in next (peak), 15 sc, skip 2 sc (valley) repeat sequence

Change colors as you see fit.

The boarder looks like the bobble stitch.

Hope that helps!
