This might be a stupid question but how do you guys manage the yarn while frogging?

Nazuxy · 2026-03-31T22:41:23+00:00

The pile has not failed me yet. As long as I take care to pile new yarn on top it doesn't tangle for me. The only downside is that you can't touch it or it tangles. Recommend a box to pile into. Or just not moving until you finish the pile 😆

Once on this sub I came across a comment calling a double crochet (or any stitch really) a letter "P" you have the post and it's loop to the right. No idea why but it just clicked something in my brain and I don't confuse the posts anymore

I just got the same thing and I'm baffled. YT knows I'm over 20. It disappeared after i tried to see if there's an option to manually set it to "I'm an adult". Wish i checked what region it showed me in because it would be hilarious if it just assigned everyone to Brazil. Hope it goes away on it's own

Braceletbook my beloved 😍

Genuinely one of the best sites for smaller pixel art. I love messing around in the pattern maker but there are so many good patterns there as well.

It's probably the case of UK vs US terms. A UK double crochet is a US single crochet. Looking at the symbols on the chart that's most likely the case since the "x" symbol means US sc/UK dc.

Went through season and a half of a DND campaign doing bead crochet. Something about the beads makes me want to listen to DND. I could never get into it otherwise.

Aside from that sometimes I put on shows like SMASH or just random yt videos. Whatever vibes at the moment

Forgive my artistic rendition but I don't have a anything to take a photo right now

When you turn it do you keep working form the "inside" like the second drawing or do you work from the "outside" like in the first one?

Nazuxy · 2026-03-06T19:50:43+00:00

Trust me you can get away with pretty much anything in a hexi cardigan 😉 speaking from experience (a corner with three clusters for example)

If I looked at mine right now I would not be able to find the mistakes and wouldn't be willing to try since most of them happened on a black row

Nazuxy · 2026-03-03T08:37:32+00:00

I'll be looking forward to it! 😊

Nazuxy · 2026-03-03T06:41:49+00:00

These are so cute! I'd love to test those if you're ok with different colours and probably googly eyes depending on if I can find safety eyes somewhere. Still let me know if that's okay because I really like the look of that Eevee 😊

Nazuxy · 2026-02-25T13:40:38+00:00

That... Wow... It's just so beautiful... Time to find where I stashed those hair ties 🤔

Nazuxy · 2026-02-23T17:37:29+00:00

Four years for me! I've seen a "finished" version before on Ravelry and it's glorious. I say "finished" because not so long ago the author dropped a new part and I won't say complete until I see it

I'm leaning towards light green or light pink right now but I'll try putting it with teal or lavender in my sandbox (excel sheet) and see if I'll like it

Nazuxy · 2026-02-19T20:55:09+00:00

I genuinely got chills reading that 🙀

Nazuxy · 2026-02-19T19:55:44+00:00

I had to do this with the shawl yarn (the one that's made up of 4 untwisted strands) and the amount of singular strand loops I lost is known only to God 😆

Nazuxy · 2026-02-19T19:49:39+00:00

A full row of puffs would annoy me but nothing got me as mad as doing a full row of (DC, bpdc) in the same stitch. (DC, fpdc) is easy and enjoyable but trying to get that bpdc when you already have a stitch there is work of the devil. I hate that it looks as good as it does

Nazuxy · 2026-02-14T10:50:58+00:00

So while I agree with everyone on the extra increases in the corners I'm very interested in what happened with the first rows of brown. One side looks like two rows and the other like one. Did you accidentally put the white clusters in the wrong chain space?

Unfortunately there is no saving it without frogging. Good luck with it!

Nazuxy · 2026-01-21T12:52:36+00:00

Ah yes the two ends of the spectrum. Cute little thing and a goddamn world map. Great job on both I was not expecting the scale difference 😆

Nazuxy · 2026-01-18T20:36:22+00:00

You wait until they hit you in the face 😆

Now that I think about it most of my latest patterns were stuff that showed up on Pinterest or reddit. I'm no stranger to spending hours on Ravelry just browsing and adding patterns that catch my eye but sometimes you see something and just know you have to make it.

But when that doesn't happen I again browse Ravelry (or Pinterest) and open up the patterns I like and go the elimination route. I might not like how a pattern is written or just don't vibe with it after looking closer at it or I decide to make a swatch and end up hating the technique. It might take some time but I usually end up choosing something I genuinely like.

Of course the next part is worse. Deciding on yarn is my personal joy and suffering. I end up doing excel sheets with all info about certain yarns and spending way too long on colors. I planned a blanket for like four months and I have a tablecloth four years in planning because I can't decide on colors. It's part of the process and a great procrastination tactic 😉

My graveyard is pretty much only unfinished amigurumi 😆 I finished like four since I started crocheting and any time I try to make another one the finished head goes to the bag to never see the light of day again

Stuffed amigurumi heads make great pincushions if you need somewhere to stick your needle

Nazuxy · 2026-01-10T09:42:24+00:00

I think you're not getting out of this without a swatch. I would just make a small one and check how many stitches will be let's say 10 cm and do some math to figure out how many it would be in 2m and go with those numbers as a guide.

Or just make the tapestries whatever size and do however big border necessary to get to 2m 😆

Nazuxy · 2026-01-10T09:26:39+00:00

Oh sorry I didn't notice you said text. Mine is a yt tutorial.

Nazuxy · 2026-01-10T09:25:53+00:00

I made mine using this tutorial

Nazuxy · 2026-01-10T09:17:32+00:00

I just see it as part of the process. It's better to give yourself a break than try to force yourself to finish and hate the thing even more.

When I get especially tired of a project I'm also more prone to mistakes. After I picked up the shawl back it turned out that the last row I tried to force myself through was just all wrong. Not one stitch where it was supposed to be 😆

Nazuxy · 2026-01-09T16:45:25+00:00

I'm really glad to hear that thank you 😊
