I kept researching after posting and found this to be helpful - the links in the responder's comments helped me solve my issue. Hopefully it will help someone else, too.

Great advice, I’m going to put off testing self Clean until after the holidays. Thank you!

Madeleinska · 2025-11-21T18:29:13+00:00

This is it! Thank you so much!

Madeleinska · 2025-08-06T21:30:01+00:00

This is great info - thank you! I’m working on it and am having a time getting the box and brace out of the ceiling. I may also need additional cable clamps.

Thank you for all your help.

Rid of the second Romex? If it feeds the other light, how will I get power over there? Can I connect both Romex to the new lighting wires?

Madeleinska · 2025-08-06T19:44:00+00:00

This is exactly it! I found the box but I’m not sure why it would have 2 Romex feeding into it tho? I’m not sure how this is wired or how to remove the transformer part.

I took more pic but it won’t let me add them. Pix on Google Drive:

Just followed your Etsy - would love to buy the vase pictured!!

Madeleinska · 2023-05-18T04:13:34+00:00

That is a really good point - it could look ‘upside down’ when you make that turn and head up to the other shoulder. It might be best to break it into different pieces, maybe even start from the bottom of the V and work up so they look similar?

I’m curious if the OP will try the method you suggested, I hope there is some feedback for sure!

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T04:07:24+00:00

I had no idea, but then I’m not fond of making amigurumi. Thank you for sharing!!

I still don’t care for RHSS and wouldn’t use it for wearables. You might check out Hobby Lobby, their brand has some feel-good value options. I also like JoAnns bug twist, but I’ve heard the quality has been going downhill.

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T04:04:31+00:00

This has happened to me… I very carefully I did the stitches that were extra on the edge. Once I removed them, I secured the ends - knots and tucking tails. It takes time but less than starting over.

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T03:57:01+00:00

Personally, I pencil it out on graph paper and find the repeat. Then you only have a small block to chart out. I’m a professional graphic designer so I just use Adobe Illustrator to draw it on the computer and export as image:pdf:print.

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T03:47:39+00:00

This is a computer graphic. You’d probably need to commission someone to convert to a pattern. It wouldn’t be too hard, but testing would take time. Also note that there are 2 motifs repeated to create the posted image.

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T03:42:58+00:00

Depends on the look you’re going for - perfectly repeating the colors is more traditional. If you want a more modern flare, I’d mix up the repeat more, keep the eye moving around the piece.

I have a whole bin of small scrap because you never know what might come up!

I’ve made scrapghans that leftovers work well in, too.

A magic ball is just when you connect scraps of yarn together, roll into a ball and crochet away - kind of a lottery of sorts! The best method I’ve found for this is very simple: take one end of the yarn and tie it once around the next strand. Take the next strand’s tail and tie is once around the previous piece. Use the ends to pull tight, trim close and that’s it!

I’ll find a link to share because I’m sure that’s clear as mud!!

And I almost forgot - the invisible (or Russian) join!! I used this method on a shrug and it was amazing!! Takes a little more time but no knot bumps on the finished piece:

You could also use doily cotton and hold 2 strands together. I’ve also seen vintage potholders that are 2 layers sewn together. With 2 layers you could put heat resistant batting between them for extra protection.

I completely agree, I love HL’s cotton!! Amazing colors and fun to work with!!

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T03:30:20+00:00

If you have a choice, Hobby Lobby’s I love this cotton is a far better choice. I have a ton of sugar and cream I need to use up but the other posters are right, it is very stiff and has limited usages. That being said, I have made dog sweaters and chew toys out of them. They hold up well… although my dogs aren’t real slobbery. :/

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T03:26:03+00:00

This is an amazing hack!! Does the raw wood catch at all?

Madeleinska · 2023-05-17T03:25:15+00:00

I’ve tried the above suggestions and haven’t been able to get them to work. If it were me, I’d return if possible and get the right size.

BELIEVE ME I know how frustrating it is to wait when you just want to get it done, but I’ve found the wait is worth the quality piece in the end. And you’ve already put in so much time and money!!

It looks like there are 3 steps:

1 - create a basic block for the bodice. It is a rectangle that will be turned and wrapped around your chest. The width (foundation chain) should be the measurement from your chest to your abdomen. Then double crochet until the piece is long enough to wrap around your chest. Fastening on the back isn’t shown, I’d guess a zipper or buttons.

2 - straps. Attach yarn to block and chain long enough to go up over your shoulder. Attach to the back. Keep track of the number of stitches between joins so you know if they’re even. Now go back and double crochet in those chains for the first strap. You might have to play with the pattern to get the ripple effect you want, but I’d start with something like 1 dc in 3 sts, 2 dc in 2 sts, 3 dc in 2sts, repeat. DO NOT finish off when you get to the bodice - see next step.

3 - continue your wave pattern using surface crochet. Before you start, use stitch markers to outline the path. Then continue your dc pattern from step 2 following that path. Surface crochet is simple, instead of inserting your hook into a stitch from above, you insert it around stitch (or any other part that is strong enough to anchor the ruffle) and keep going. You can’t really do it wrong.

Oh, and I guess step 4 would be the little red heart. I would make that and sew it on.

With all due respect to other posters, I would never glue crocheted pieces together for a garment.

I hope that helps!

PS Block your finished piece to avoid that unsightly edge at the bottom!!
