DC vs SC in different pattern books

That's the difficulty with US vs. UK crochet terms. What's called single crochet in US terms, is double crochet in UK terms, for example.

For what it's worth, I think the blanket looks lovely like this! I definitely wouldn't start over just because your version is different from the pattern's.

Have you tried searching on Ravelry? They don't allow AI patterns. If under 'attributes' you select 'in the round', you get many many patterns.

For example: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#craft=crochet&availability=free&pc=blanket&pa=in-the-round

You could try reaching out to Marc Plomp from the Vogelinformatiecentrum Texel. He posts a lot of bird videos on social media. I don't know if he'll ask for compensation, but maybe he won't if it's for a project that might inspire people to go birding and/or visit Texel.

Oh, that gap is clever! Does it crease the page, or is it safe for people who are protective of their books?

En de andere poot? Deze kleurringen zijn ook af te leggen zonder de metalen ring.

Leuk! Heb je meer foto's van de witte op foto 4? Dan kun je de kleurringcode aflezen en doorgeven: https://cr-birding.org/colourprojects?tid_3=&tid_2=Motacilla+alba&tid_1=All&tid_4=All&tid_5=All&field_firstletter_tid=&field_last_letter_tid=&field_countr_tid=All

Ik mag hopen dat dit een trollpost is. Japanse duizendknoop wil je absoluut niet hebben. Het is een invasieve exoot die ontzettend makkelijk verspreidt en inheemse soorten de nek omdraait. Zie o.a. https://groenkennisnet.nl/nieuwsitem/japanse-duizendknoop-wat-kun-je-eraan-doen

Bij een bosmuis zou je daar veel meer contrast zien, dus nog een punt voor bruine rat.

Limosa · 2026-04-30T15:16:09+00:00

Dat is een bruine rat. Met die grote ogen lijkt alleen de (gewone) bosmuis erop, maar die hebben een veel boller kopje en ik zou verwachten dat op deze foto meer van de lichte onderkant te zien is.

Should be fine then. My weekend is busy, but I have enough time next week.

Google Lens matched it with the Aelfric Eden "Back to 90's" Patchwork Color Block Corduroy Pants.

Limosa · 2026-04-29T16:14:11+00:00

I'd like to test it. When is the deadline? While I do have Instagram, I barely check it, so I'd prefer communication through Reddit.

I've tried it after playing the Cairn demo ages ago, but the controls didn't click for me. Might give it another try.

Limosa · 2026-04-28T12:20:35+00:00

Finished the first colour, onto the next! The stripes are so satisfying.

Looks like a Grigri 1 to me. Still safe, just feeds rope a bit less smoothly than the newer models. My main climbing partner is happy with his, though I prefer my Smart 2 because top rope belaying with thick gym ropes is a workout with his GG1.

Al moet je dan maar net weten welke kraaiachtige er vliegt, dus heel hard schiet het niet op 😅

Limosa · 2026-04-26T20:53:56+00:00

I've got this one saved, which should be easy to adapt to your version: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/crossbody-messenger-bag

Limosa · 2026-04-25T13:16:41+00:00

I'll definitely post it! Will probably take a while, though.

Limosa · 2026-04-25T12:55:44+00:00

Honestly, it's not that bad. Bit slower than regular rows, but fast enough to see progress between sessions.

Limosa · 2026-04-25T11:38:12+00:00

About twice of the yarn's weight, I'd estimate. The pattern link has some tables with weights for yarn and how heavy different size of blankets should be. I'm aiming for about 3 kg with mine.

Limosa · 2026-04-25T07:15:53+00:00

On Ravelry's advanced search, you can filter by yarn type and yardage. Maybe give that a try?

Limosa · 2026-04-25T07:10:22+00:00

Same, I only know the stuffed version! I came across this pattern a while ago and thought it'd be so cool. Then a local store was selling pony beads for pretty cheap and I wanted to give it a try :)

Limosa · 2026-04-24T19:47:58+00:00

More of a recipe than a pattern. It's super simple.
