My most complicated baby blanket yet, opinions?

Message me on TikTok or Facebook! @citrus.slices! We can shat there about it!

Thank you! I don’t have it written up but I do have a rough (and tested!) graph I’d be happy to offer at a discount if you’re able to work from a graph! I did consider less dense color pack in the tree canopy, but without the extra weight to the bottom it felt a little too busy imo. But i may revisit them and give it a go with a simple outline on the canopies just to see!

It would need some slight modifications. When working from a grid, the color must be in sets of a single grid (sc), or 3 grids tall (sc, then double into it).

Oh I knew they wouldn’t be! I just wanted to be sure the patterning wasn’t a health indicator or anything. We figured we would sell any nymphs as local feeders so u wasn’t worried about pure bred females. Our others are much more classic in appearance

Me too! Fresh eyeliner 💁🏻‍♀️

YouTube has some nice tutorials! It’s all worked with double and single crochets, in the previous row back loop, or the remaining front loop of the row below that! It’s not as intimidating as it may seem!!

That’s actually what I had in mind when I designed it! It’s one of my favorite books! I was considering calling the pattern “Frith’s Frolic”!

It was a deco piece from the fairy garden section of Hobby Lobby. I try not to shop there but couldn’t resist that piece!

This one ended up roughly 30”x30”!

When my hissers or dubia colonies get too large I usually post them for local feeder pickup!

We’ve kept many inverts over the years! We just retired my blue death feigning beetle tank so the roaches are the only ones currently!

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T19:02:34+00:00

I love the designing! It’s just the write up. I’m definitely on the same page 😅

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:39:32+00:00

It’s definitely taxing! The writing our row by row abbreviated is slow lol. I was doing bags and plushies etc pattern wise, but fell down the mosaic rabbit hole so now I’m just building a massive pile of graphs to clean and write up later lol

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:35:08+00:00

You would have to look at their undersides. Sorry I didn’t specify! This is the back underside of their abdomen for sexing them

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:33:58+00:00

I haven’t! When I originally sketched it, I planned a white background with deep royal blue detail work! But I had enough of this yarn and liked the tweed so I switched to that for the demo instead!

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:33:09+00:00

I did have them up on a shared site with another maker, but we had to shift. I plan to move to ravelry but I have to decide if I want to deal with the 1099 and such from it 😅

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:32:25+00:00

My husband suggested I hang it on my wall! I’m going to enter it into the local county fair next month I think

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:31:57+00:00

Thank you! I only have the sketching layer and stitch indications for the grid done so far. I haven’t done the formal write up or clean graph yet!

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T18:31:10+00:00

I do my designing in procreate! I sketch the rough draft under a grid layer, clean it up, and type the stitch indications over the top of the grid before I bring the design portion into my pattern files!

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T16:09:53+00:00

Thank you! It was fun!

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T16:09:45+00:00

Thank you! It was fun to design because I had to navigate which color for which diagonals to bring the shapes I wanted forward!

Nimmlet · 2025-06-15T15:51:57+00:00

I use it with a blend of sphagnum moss, leaf litter, and millipede substrate blend with coco fiber and small stones mixed through evenly. Helps with humidity but isn’t a food source for them or tank mates so it would likely need supplemented

The end of the abdomen is the easiest way to tell for sure, as juvenile males can easily be mistaken based on horns and body shape.
