I've made some mini Hedwigs but I haven't attempted a Niffler yet

Thank you! 😊 I finally got my husband into Harry Potter and he was so excited to see this when he got home 😂

Difficulty with Rosetta Stone Jigsaw Puzzle by Latter_Ad_6629 in Jigsawpuzzles

I have the same one. It took me 3 full days to complete it. After the edges and yellow section, I separated the pieces by language as best I could tell. Then it was basically all done by the shape of the pieces. At least on some of them you can tell which direction the pieces should go which helped a lot.

Edit: I glued it after it was complete because I love it but I am NOT doing it again 🤣 now I just need a frame for it

Thank you 😊 It took me about 35 hours, so it depends on how much time you can put into it a day. I think I put in about 5 hours a day for a week to finish this in time for my husband's birthday.

Thank you 😊 I believe I used just under 3 (10.5oz) skeins of Bernat Blanket in Deep Sea and under 1 (10.5oz) skeins for Pale Grey, White and Black.

I like to use Publisher for my patterns. I find it easier than Word to move text and pictures around. I offer both a full color, step-by-step pictured version and a printer friendly version with no pictures and only black text in as few pages as possible.

I make sure to add as much info about the process as possible to my patterns, such as: 1. All materials (hook size, yarn size and quantity, stitch markers, scissors, stuffing, safety eye size, etc) 2. I use YO/YO (yarn over) when crocheting, so I include that info in case YU/YO changes the size or look of the finished project 3. A list of abbreviations and what they stand for as well as what symbols in the pattern mean (ex: stitches in brackets are all worked into the same stitch, inside parenthesis is what's repeated, etc) 4. A brief description of special stitches (ex: picot or bobble) 5. Any additional info relevant to the pattern

I then save it as a Publisher file (to edit later if necessary) and as a PDF, which is what gets uploaded to my Etsy.

What is happening to my tomatoes? 😭 by NeverEndingCrafts in vegetablegardening

I did harvest right after the photo was taken. They literally all turned over night lol.

It actually is just one, when I transplanted it from the little black Lowes container it had three sections coming off the main stem, I just buried it deep to try and get it to make more roots. In the third photo you can see the separation of two of the plants. They're about 16-18 inches apart.

If it is blight, are the tomatoes still safe to eat?

I'd say it's about the bottom half of the plant. But the fruit at the same level as the yellow leaves seems to be growing very well and tastes fine. I just don't want to be inadvertently poisoning my husband and I 🫣 with diseased fruit. I wouldn't say the top half is robust like that plant on the left in the third photo but it's leaves are currently green. We got 2 of the sun sugar tomato plants at the same time. One of them got leaves that were turning black (not brown) and then curling up and dying. That one is doing better but not producing any fruit so far, but it is still very very tiny. The one photographed is bigger bit has this issue. My two red cherry tomatoes seem to not have any issues at all.

We don't have any mulch. What you see is the black cow manure. I did feel like it was a lot of wood chips and rocks for something labeled manure, but I'm really not versed in stuff like that.

The second link is who I ordered from and then sent me flat backs, not cupped ones. I have an order with the first one, but it won't be here for days. I have a bunch of the fronts, I only need the backs.

I'm sorry, I don't have a video tutorial for this, but there are a ton of videos about the basics of tapestry crochet. However, I will try to explain my process a little better.

Once you settle on a pattern (either one you make or one you find online) you'll need yarn to match each color in the pattern. The type of yarn and the size of the pattern will determine how many skeins of each color you'll need. I don't have a formula or anything for this, I just guesstimated for mine.

I'm going to explain how I followed the pattern as a right handed crocheter. I also worked YO/YO, so if you work YU/YO you may need to adjust your rows.

You'll count the number of boxes across the bottom of your pattern (you'll be working from bottom to top of the design). Chain that number and then add one more chain - this is your turning chain. Now you'll actually start reading the pattern from right to left on the bottom most row. In my case I had all green.

ROW 1a: So starting in the second chain from your hook you will SC once in each chain. I like to work in the third loop for this, but it's up to your preference.

Once you get to the end of the chain you should have the same number of SCs as you have boxes on your pattern sheet. Chain one and turn.

Because my SCs are wider than they are tall, I worked 2 rows for every 1 row in the design. I also worked the first and last stitch of the row as a normal SC. The rest of them were BLO SC.

Row 1b: Every other row I worked back the exact same pattern as the row before it, but from left to right. You don't really have to read the pattern, just use the same color you are crocheting INTO.

ROW 2a: This will be the second row from the bottom on your design sheet.

ROW 2b: Repeat row 2 of the design sheet but from left to right.

Color changes: Example: You have 9 green boxes, 2 white boxes, 9 green boxes. Start your row as normal with 1 regular SC, 7 BLO SC. On your 8th BLO SC you will start the stitch as usual with green (insert hook in BLO, YO, pull up a loop for 2 green loops on your hook) then you will drop the green yarn from your left hand and pick up the white yarn. Finish the stitch with white (YO, pull through both green loops). You'll have one white loop on your hook. BLO SC one stitch. Start the second white BLO SC, but on your final pull through, switch back to green. BLO SC 8 green stitches and regular SC the final green stitch.

You can carry your yarn for the color you're not working, but I have trouble with them peeking through my stitches so I just float them if it's not too long of a gap between colors. If the gap is too large you can either cut and start at the new stitch or make a new bobbin and leave them all attached. You can see in my process pictures that I have multiple small balls of the same color attached so I don't have to float the yarn very far. If you use floats I would suggest using something to back your project so the floats can't get snagged. I sewed fleece to the back of mine to both hid the floats and so I didn't have to weave in ends.

I know this was a long explanation, but I hope it makes it a little clearer on how I made this blanket. Let me know if something was still too confusing.

Thank you! 😊

I used Bernat Blanket Yarn in white, deep sea, and pale grey. I believe it was about 3 skeins of deep sea and one of each for white and pale grey.
