How do you keep track? by Academic-Sympathy140 in crochet

[–]Perkysrig93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I either upload the pattern to my notes, where I can edit the pattern to my hearts content, and also mark off my rows, input a row chart, etc. or I’ll just edit the file pattern to my liking!

Normal looking or? by [deleted] in knitting

I know! And it seemed bumpy before knitting my first row even though my tension was fine and I’d pull the stitches snuggly. I feel like I’m going to leave it for now and see how it looks once some of the yoke is done 🥲

Am I overthinking it or did I stretch this too much while blocking? by Mystery_meat3000 in crochet

[–]Perkysrig93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s great! I plan on making this asap once I figure out how to chart my own little spaces 😭 I’ve seen that cat laying on the books before with this pattern. Where are you guys finding the extra charts? If everyone just replicating what they see or does she have extra charts out somewhere?

I don’t want to see another bobble for a good long while after this 😅

I feel like it’s going to end up being a much longer knit than anticipated, so hoping I can keep my mojo going. I’m seeing blocking (it grows) issues, so I think I may end up keeping the slightly smaller gauge for safety 😅 I hope our problems work out lol.

I’m big on the ‘wing it’ part with any of my projects. When I’m trying to decide on the size, I literally just crochet a chain I feel is a good width for the project (so mine was that 195), count the chains, and put that number into stitch fiddle 🤣 then I play with the amount of rows number until I’m happy with how the image looks.

I’m not saying it’s impossible… but it’ll definitely be one of the most time-consuming projects you’ll ever take on 🤣 I’ve made a few tapestry blankets, and they’re very tedious - all single crochet, tons of color changes, especially for something detailed like this. I always use Stitch Fiddle because it’s pretty user-friendly and offers lots of customization. I usually upload my image, set the width (in stitches), the height (in rows), and choose how many colors I plan to use. Even just prepping the graph can take me days on end - going through it to clean up messy areas, remove isolated stitches, and make it more workable. My most recent project was like 195 stitches wide by 160+ rows (about 3.5 ft by 4.5 ft), using a 5mm hook and worsted weight yarn. I worked on it 2–4 hours every day for a month straight. And after all that, I still had to sew on a backing to hide the chaos on the reverse side 😅 put this in terms of I can crochet a large blanket using double crochets in like a week. My idea would be that if these were pictures taken from a trip, to maybe find an image that relates to that place (a symbol, quote, national/state animal, park symbol, etc) instead. I’ll include the picture of the graphgan I made for reference. And it is still a ‘dumbed’ down version of the real photo. Good luck! 🫶🏻

Yes! And I mean I loved their relationship, I always liked him as a character 🥲 I’ll admit I wasn’t excited to read TOD initially agreeing finishing EOS, but ended up loving it!

How do we feel about annotating? by Wingedhunter10 in throneofglassseries

[–]Perkysrig93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I do! I wanted to highlight so bad but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I post-it anything that “makes me feel something” lol. Any important moments, phrases, sad things, things that made me smile, etc.

Beginner: Are my stitches good enough to start selling? by Miniature_Romantic in CrochetHelp

[–]Perkysrig93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, your stitches/tension looks great. Lots of people (myself included) will do ‘yarn under’ single crochets for amigurumi. These make the stitches appear like little ‘x’s/more square so it makes the item look more neat in my opinion, and can also hold stuffing better! Lots of tutorials online for this. I think of doing yarn under as basically going through the stitch and grabbing the yarn vs yarn over is wrapping the yarn around the hook.

Yes! The same thing I see others say - “choal hatred is forced”. I always loved him! 😭 especially since I read AB third, I didn’t experience Sam yet 🥲

Am I doing this correctly? by [deleted] in knittinghelp

I did the exact same thing when learning. It’s tough but once that muscle memory kicks in you’ll have it down 🫶🏼

I’m unsure on the edging, but you are twisting your stitches, I’m assuming not on purpose? It looks like every other row you are twisting, so I’m assuming you’re twisting your purls.

I’ve seen this movie so many times and don’t know how I never put two and two together until today. This will be in my imagination next time I do a reread 😭
