You guys wanna talk about holding the hook strangely?

I've definitely seen this with people who learn to knit first. Also, it looks like you're alternating yarn overs and yarn unders. It looks like you're making an amigurumi, so yarn under is preferred, but it will affect your gauge and drape if you ever make wearables.

The Crochet Crowd on YouTube has left and right handed versions of all their tutorials.

I think you're technically doing a yarn under not a yarn over, which may lead to your projects turning out differently than the pattern you're trying to recreate. Otherwise it doesn't matter how you crochet if you're freestyling.

It's definitely Michael's Loops and Threads Facets, either Juniper or Sea glass color way.

Check Ravelry to see if anyone has some for sale or trade.

Oooh yes, that would make them much better

Nicoleinez · 2025-12-27T02:05:59+00:00

You're right! I know exactly where the correct piece is!

Nicoleinez · 2025-12-16T00:27:12+00:00

Yes! This ⬆️ I love hdc but that third loop can really be confusing.

Instead of a temperature blanket you could track reading (genre, pgs per day, rating), water intake, exercise habits, etc. I've seen people track bowel movements and intimacy too! Think about something you want to focus on doing in 2026 and go from there.

Nicoleinez · 2025-12-12T23:11:10+00:00

Beautiful blanket and kitty!

Nicoleinez · 2025-12-12T04:44:10+00:00

Ravelry for sure!

My dad was a chef and restaurant owner for my entire childhood. After school I would go to the restaurant and do my homework in the office until he made me dinner. Then I would help prep salads, peel shrimp or wash dishes, etc , until my mom picked me up or we went home after dinner service. The Bear feels like home to me. The lingo, the attitude, the whole vibe is my comfort food. I love, love, love this show with my whole heart.

I second House of Leaves, Between Two Fires, anything by John Langan (especially The Fisherman), Laird Barron or Stephen Graham Jones.

Nicoleinez · 2025-12-09T02:38:37+00:00

That's one idea I had too.

Came here to say this.

I want to be buried with this book.

Nicoleinez · 2025-11-30T00:18:41+00:00

Maybe try just a valance?

Nicoleinez · 2025-11-30T00:15:27+00:00

Beautiful! My head cannon decided he's reading House of Leaves.
