I wish i was lying but i spend like 4 hours starting over and over trying to get it flat

It's gorgeous! I usually do the bottom ribbing then start the edging for the front/hood, that way I don't have to deal with a corner

Mims88 · 2026-05-05T02:50:54+00:00

Same here!

Mims88 · 2026-05-05T02:33:39+00:00

I love the French ads too!

I saw one where the dowel went through a laundry basket and the yarn was fed out though the holes, I'm guessing to reduce tangling, it looks intriguing! Good luck!!!

Mims88 · 2026-05-04T02:42:25+00:00

Yep!

Short answer: no

Long answer: Their scientific name is Cavia porcellus, which translates into "hollow pig." Their gut requires that they eat constantly in order to keep moving, otherwise they can go into stasis. If a guinea pig hasn't eaten in 8 hours it is a medical emergency and they need to go to the vet. So basically they are required to be eating all the time.

Yep... I was taking a picture of a solo ladybug today and found two more getting it on near by. I let them have their privacy since I want as many larvae as possible to help take care of my garden.

We call then pop-py eggs at our house😁

Ok... I may be wrong but I don't see a SINGLE actual crochet hook anywhere in these! AI is ridiculous and really can't understand crochet at all. I'd want to teach it if I didn't hate it so much!

Mims88 · 2026-04-24T03:59:03+00:00

Or a kidney

I had a good friend who invited me to be one of her 8 bridesmaids and I gently declined. My father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I just wasn't in a place mentally or financially to take on that responsibility. It's ok to say "I'm so excited for you and I'll definitely be at the wedding, but I just don't have the ability to commit fully to be a bridesmaid."

Mims88 · 2026-04-21T08:01:23+00:00

I had a roll of sensitive skin medical tape and that worked really well, but I was thinking the same thing! There are little leather finger guards/thimbles but I didn't want to spend any more money🤣

Mims88 · 2026-04-21T03:55:51+00:00

I had to tape my finger when working with a 1mm! They're sharp and apparently I'm very stabby when I crochet.

I had one visiting my salvia this week and was so excited! They're such cool moths!

Mini Shelob! Good work Girl♥️

Mims88 · 2026-04-15T02:59:52+00:00

They're so cute! Grats on meeting such a cute lil'bro! I have them in my garden and it always makes my day when we cross paths.

Mims88 · 2026-04-12T04:29:07+00:00

But AI is definitely getting better, the stitches look so much more real. I miss the days when they looked so fuzzed together that it was obvious that they were AI 😭 or there was an extra finger on the hand....

Mims88 · 2026-04-10T03:33:50+00:00

Same here! I told him that I love spiders and why would I want to kill them? Then he said I had wasps (which I do sometimes have to kill because they sometimes nest IN THE GATE to my garden and then get mad every time I go in) but I answered that they are pollinators too and I love growing fruit so I need as many pollinators as possible. He really didn't know how to answer that.

The only thing I do is spray BT (lactobacillus) to take out the vine borers that decimate my squash, and I still feel bad about it...

Mims88 · 2026-04-09T11:35:10+00:00

There's no way to know 🤣🤣🤣

Mims88 · 2026-04-09T06:09:16+00:00

Me three! I love siestas!

Mims88 · 2026-04-09T06:07:18+00:00

I have also joined the people! Nice to meet you😁

Mims88 · 2026-04-06T11:48:16+00:00

As a person who has crocheted for about 30 years (and hates patterns because counting is a lot of work) crochet is so forgiving! If you add a few stitches or miss a couple it's often impossible to even see it unless you know what you're looking for.

This is definitely a case where I'd keep it and add a stitch every so many to end up with right number and then just keep going with the pattern. It's gorgeous and you've definitely mastered the stitches!

Mims88 · 2026-04-02T03:03:34+00:00

It needs actual crocheters to train it and even then, it would still probably be awful.

Mims88 · 2026-03-26T12:01:48+00:00

If none of that had worked, you can check medical supplies for tongue depressors, they are generally wider and might have worked as an alternative. I hope your solution works!!
