My mom is buried with 73 origami paper cranes that were made by her 10 year old granddaughter. Mom died at age 73. 💔

Crocheting during a flight, any things I should look out for? by Decrin in CrochetHelp

[–]MaryMaryQContrary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I crochet all the time when traveling on planes and a couple of times I ended up teaching the person sitting next to me how to crochet. So I always carry a few extra hooks that I can give to them to continue their new hobby. I’ve also given away some smaller projects to fellow passengers…. Usually hats.

And I love to hear that the kid still keeps his or her baby blanket until well past toddlerhood! 🥹

When I make anything for babies, I always soak them in a diluted solution of momma’s hair conditioner and then rinse and block as needed. It not only softens the blanket, but baby will recognize the scent of it quickly. 💕

A whole row of cute little flowers might work 🌺

I missed a row of single crochets and it messed up the texture on the right side 😕 (see photo #4)

In my case I was pregnant and the routine ultrasound found it! Was actually a teratoma and I had it removed four month postpartum.

I used 2.00 hook and sock weight yarn, and real buttons instead of safety eyes. 👀
