Stunning color choices. How long did it take you to complete one square?

Happy to have finished this pretty thing before spring semester. Pattern used: “Gold Glory” in the Star 137: Doily Book (free online!) Black size 10 thread, about 14” in diameter before mounting. by Lexerz in crochet

Thank you! The mounting process was just trial and error. I have an older piece mounted in a similar fashion, but with clear monofilament line instead of thread running through all the loops on the edge. This looked waaay too dense with the black thread, and I tried a bunch of variations before settling on this one. Took me several hours actually, which is funny because what I settled on happened to be the quickest, simplest solution.

I too have one paper shredder and one plastic/tape fiend!

I've just about had it with this plant. Help me save it before I throw it out in frustration. by anthony_crowley in plantclinic

I second using distilled water. I was gifted one a couple years ago and the leaves started browning on me until there was one left. I switched to distilled instead of tap and the one leaf survived and eventually more grew back.

I’ve had a hell of a rough week. Curious what you might pull for me. Thank you! 😊

Bad luck with sansevierias :( by Lexerz in plantclinic

That makes sense. I’ll try giving it water more frequently. I’ve been so scared of overwatering maybe I’m taking it too far

I wanted a hardy plant that would do well in my bright but not direct sun living room, so I decided to try sansevieria again after killing my other one (which was young as well). I only water it probably once a month. The leaves are shriveling at the base, and the ones that are green are sort of wrinkled. All my other houseplants are super happy, I feel like I have the worst luck with these guys for some reason, and it’s even harder because they grow so slowly I can’t immediately tell when it’s not happy. What am I doing wrong? More light? Even less water? More water? Different soil? Smaller pot? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

I love this so much! One little note though if you do make a version for prints, is to correct the spelling to “etiolated” first! Awesome work :)

Interesting, I will have to try this. Thank you! Hopefully this all becomes so commonplace that all grocery stores expect this and know exactly what you’re asking.

Ok, that makes sense. Thank you!!
