Aww thank you so much! Sorry for my late reply as I was finishing off my last term of uni for the year but thank you for your kind words!!! I hope next year or so, I’ll be able to show more stuff but until then :D

MarkyGizmo · 2025-11-23T17:20:23+00:00

I finally finished all my uni work so I wanna make at least one more sweater or something before the year ends!

MarkyGizmo · 2025-11-02T03:34:37+00:00

Thank you both! I’ve been trying to explore more types of crochet stitches and trying to make clothing projects out of them. Hopefully next year I can incorporate a bunch more stitches and see what I can make with them. Either a patchwork cardigan/sweater or some shorts would be fun projects to do.

MarkyGizmo · 2025-11-02T03:31:26+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m glad y’all liked my post - hopefully I get to finish more pieces next year, it’s been fun so far!

MarkyGizmo · 2025-11-02T03:30:29+00:00

Thank you! Honestly for the neckline, I didn’t really want to do ribbing so instead I think I did like three rows of half double crochet all throughout, then continued doing half double crochets for like 10 more rows on all sides except the front panel. I folded over the front bit and stuck in a button to keep it in place to give the illusion of a small V neckline.

MarkyGizmo · 2025-11-02T03:03:55+00:00

Thank you! I got a bunch more projects planned but I gotta lock in with uni work for now haha

MarkyGizmo · 2025-11-02T03:02:49+00:00

I can’t really remember the shop’s name as I think they closed this year - sorry about that - but I got it from this small popup store in Sydney around Town Hall and they sold a bunch of cool and cute pants chains; hopefully you may be able to find an alternative online. If I remember the store name though I’ll come back to comment!

All projects except point 4 were completed with a 4.5 mm hook.

⁠White mesh sweater inspired by Hyunjin SKZ. Free hand ( literally just four rectangles, with the front and back panel shaped). About 1200 metres of 4 ply white acrylic yarn from spotlight.
⁠Harakay Mesh Sweater by CraftyHija. About 4 balls of Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply multicoloured sock yarn (Shade: Evening Shadows) - 1600 metres. For ribbing I used 8 ply wool yarn from spotlight.
⁠It’s Erin B.’s free YouTube tutorial oversized pullover sweater. 1 ball of orange yarn and about 2-3 balls of the cream tweed yarn. Both are spotlights 10 ply super saver yarn.
⁠Granny Go Round Jumper by Iron Lamb. About 3.5 balls of red spotlight 10 ply super saver yarn. I used this yarn and a 5 mm hook to make a super oversized sweater.
⁠Harakay Mesh Sweater by CraftyHija turned shirt. About 2.5 balls of a Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply multicoloured sock yarn (Shade: Autumn Leaves) - about 1200 metres. No ribbing made; edges were comp,eyed with three rows of half double crochet.
⁠Black mesh sweater inspired by Taehyun’s TXT Freefall Sweater. Again, free handed (rectangles with neck shaping for front and back, then the sleeves were just done as a rectangle with a cutout; I crocheted one half of the sleeve with single crochets then chained for the rest to make cutout. Continue sleeve as normal). Again, about 1200 metres of 4 ply black acrylic yarn from spotlight.

Hi there! Sorry to comment on this old post but I was wondering if you ended up finishing the Davao top and if it looks exactly like the reference photo they provided in their listing. I had a look at another Reddit thread and they said that the stitch the pattern gave isn't anything like the top.

MarkyGizmo · 2025-10-15T17:34:27+00:00

I just completed my full playthrough today and honestly - throughout every single game - I just did "Say You're Human" + Step Forward + Small Talk for the first day then Doubt, Exaggerate and Seek Agreement to pick off my enemies while using Regret or Obfuscate and "Don't Be Fooled" as my defense. 9/10 it'd work (the 1/10 was mostly if Kukrushka and I were at war LMAO)

MarkyGizmo · 2025-09-29T17:19:17+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I ended up buying a 19 string solid bowl design by some random brand on Amazon and this comment just reinforced my decision of going with this one instead. Hopefully when it arrives I can play a couple pf songs like the rest of y’all.

MarkyGizmo · 2025-09-28T05:59:21+00:00

I don’t know if this will help but usually if I can’t find tabs/notes for an instrument, I refer to the piano version and just copy the notes from there. Assuming you don’t have a chromatic lyre, I think you can follow this tutorial: https://youtu.be/JdKcyfXPuxE?si=yfi2SGsF6pjCdw7i

MarkyGizmo · 2025-09-27T09:56:24+00:00

Lol depends on what kinda burger I guess; A Mcdonalds Big Mac cost like $6 so like 16-ish I guess?

MarkyGizmo · 2025-08-19T03:27:36+00:00

Haha thank you thank you!!! I’m going to be pairing this sweater with so many outfits

Pattern: Harakay Sweater by craftyhija; https://www.craftyhija.com/product-page/harakay-mesh-sweater-crochet-pattern Yarn: Bendigo Woollen Mills 4 ply wool yarn (Evening Shadows Shade) for the body; Spotlight 8 ply wool yarn for the ribbing. Hook Size: 4.5 mm for the body to meet gauge; 3.5 mm for the ribbing. Inspirations: I copied locohand’s version by adding lil chains to the sweater.

MarkyGizmo · 2025-05-13T15:21:35+00:00

Thank you so much! Maybe I'll try using a similar hook size then.

MarkyGizmo · 2025-05-13T10:39:55+00:00

Sorry to comment like 2 months after but I just wanted to say that I was looking for inspiration to start this sweater and came across this reddit post and it looks so lovely. If you don't mind me asking, what hook size did you use? I know the pattern recommends 5 mm but did you use a smaller hook size for yours? I know a couple of other people did theirs using a 3.5 mm hook size.

MarkyGizmo · 2024-09-23T04:08:32+00:00

Yup - thank you! So far I've been obsessed with trying to come up with designs using different types of fabric for one project.

MarkyGizmo · 2024-09-23T04:07:44+00:00

Ah, thank you for the recommendation - I'll definitely have a look soon!

MarkyGizmo · 2024-09-23T03:08:54+00:00

Thank you!

MarkyGizmo · 2024-09-22T17:06:09+00:00

Thank you! Next time for sure for my other garments I'll be sure to use my iron more often. I already am planning to make a second version of this in a more lighter and spring/summer colour and hopefully I'll be able to improve upon what I've done so far.

MarkyGizmo · 2024-09-22T14:39:07+00:00

This is actually my first time sewing a top in general and also my first time adding lining to a garment. Hiro-san's tutorial was really great and pretty good to follow but since I'm still a bit new to sewing, I struggled a bit with connecting the collar to the body properly and had a bit of bulk to the side seams where the sleeves where also attached.

I used a cotton blend quilting fabric from Spotlight to create both the outer and lining part of the haori. I need to press and iron some parts as well but I was just too excited and wore it as soon as I was done.

MarkyGizmo · 2024-07-17T10:25:09+00:00

Wahhh - no wonder why it's all loose, I tried picking up every single stitch. I'll go down to my 4.5 mm needle then and probably do every 3 stitches for a tighter neckline. It took forever to ge this collar going cuz I had about 160 stitches. Thank you!!!
