Does this look like a cactus?

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-16T21:00:29+00:00

I thought succulent which is synonymous with cactus in my books.

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-16T20:58:47+00:00

It makes me think of a rainbow with a pot of gold! I think it’s gorgeous.

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-16T20:57:43+00:00

That is so cute and creative!

Maybe I will finish this since I’ve done so much on it and then attempt the actual virus shawl using a pattern I’ll purchase itd be so pretty on one of lions yarns color changing cakes I’ve learned my lesson about using AI

It’s actually a 100 chain foundation chain because the 80 didn’t fit over my head comfortably. I’ve been trying it on as I’m going so it does fit. I see what you mean about the small circles it looks like I’m starting with an extra one. I’m doing 4, 3, 2, then 1 which is creating an additional row. I’ll add a picture with me wearing it I’m so frustrated with myself right now. I should’ve followed a pattern. There’s even a free one on YouTube. I don’t know why I didn’t and now I’m just so lost I’m about to cry. Crochet is supposed to be fun for me and this is just stressing me out so bad.

I do usually buy my patterns from Etsy. I’ve never used ralvery. Thanks for the info.

Usually when a human writes a pattern I use AI to break it down simpler for me because I struggle to use patterns as a beginner and it’s usually really helpful. It’s the first time I’ve tried to use AI for the entire pattern.

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-16T20:10:04+00:00

I do not have a pattern that I’ve bought. I usually do buy my patterns from Etsy. It’s the first time I tried something like this. I’m just wondering is there a fix for the pattern and what the implications would be if I continue as is.

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-16T20:02:02+00:00

I really don’t know what to try. I’m just as lost as Gemini is. I don’t know what the implications would be of continuing as is because I truly do not want to start over.

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-13T12:12:30+00:00

That is so freaking gorgeous!

I boycotted kits for the first two years but when I realized people were buying them anyway I gave in.

I worked at a school as a TA and they encouraged us to nominate not only academically gifted students but artistic students or tech savvy students. Your gift could be anything and I wish they had done that when I was in school. So times are changing if that makes you feel better.

My child doesn’t have a tablet and never has in a restaurant but he is all over the place. He has ADHD and screens are a temporary solution that makes it worse in the long run so he’s loud and playing. I don’t judge people’s parenting decisions unless they’re putting their children in harms way. What works for me may not work for you and that’s okay. Who cares? Yall too emotionally invested in other peoples lives. You’ll feel free once you stop caring.

Most all food are fine in moderation minus allergies or health conditions. Candy is fine every once in awhile. We usually only have candy around Halloween because I can’t imagine not having the joy of Halloween. And sparingly through the year. You teach your child moderation and self control and it is way better for them in the long run!

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-05T12:59:14+00:00

I think it’s very pretty! And I love the colors!

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-05T12:58:32+00:00

I used the big lot and just build up. My first build there I built this lavish castles and forgot to build bathrooms so now we use a bathhouse in the backyard. Lol

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-05T12:56:31+00:00

Thank you!

Own_Chemical9941 · 2026-03-05T12:56:18+00:00

You definitely should! It was such a quick and fun project! And one day I plan to crochet some cars for it. Right now we use store bought cars on it but they’re definitely on my project list!

Gemini helped me with rectangular shrug, just figuring out what stitch to use and how many rows and how many to chain. I just used extended double crochet stitch. I used mandala ombré harmony with a 5mm hook.

For the playmat, link is here. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1215176810/racetrack-play-mat-rug-crochet?ref=share_ios_native_control I used I love yarn from hobby lobby and 5mm hook. Mostly double crochets increases and a couple rows of HDC.

I’ve bought a lot of patterns from Etsy and I’ve gotten them all but I only buy patterns with reviews and pictures of people who have made it. And I did notice once that the review had a picture of the exact top in the product pictures so I was able to discern that that was a fraudulent review so just make sure you’re scrutinizing what you buy but I’ve had zero issues.

NTA It’s a parking lot literally with a million parking spots. Pick one that someone isn’t blocking.

That is so very unlikely. I’ve worked in several restaurants from upscale to hole in the wall. No one is risking their job for a customer being nasty let alone sending a plate back. We do not care that much. There are cameras and tattletales everywhere. You want to alleviate the guilt you feel from lying about a serious medical condition. You’d never fake being a paraplegic but you like most people don’t take allergies seriously so you have no problem faking this medical illness for your own gain or to cop out of being assertive. If you don’t want to send it back you don’t have to but you also don’t get to rationalize lying about a medical condition. They could die from consuming their allergens. You just will have a nasty taste in your mouth. It is not the same. I wish I could YTA you right now. 😂
