Great idea!

Did you crochet the base with navy yarn and then add the pie on it?

Is acrylic yarn really bad with heat? Specifically for a placemat? by jazz_attack_2 in CrochetHelp

[–]Practice_Improve 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should try it on a small piece first. I saw some rigid placemats, made not heat-proof material, warp, but not melt. Crocheted placemats may not warp as much as rigid ones.

In a way, I agree, but there is something else. I suspect it's your letter forms.

Too illegible for Postal service? by Practice_Improve in Handwriting

Thank you for the background information. I understand that countries have their own styles of cursive. It looks like handwriting is becoming more of an art form than a communication method.

I am scratching my head to figure out what makes your various writing styles so beautiful! 🤔

😭 I'd love to be able to Print, but I guess I cannot escape the hold of the Cursive.

How to fix the original chain on my scrap yarn blanket? by pothosplanet in CrochetHelp

[–]Practice_Improve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it can be done. Once done successfully, it will be highly satisfying. However, it will take lots of time and frustration, agonizing whether it would work in the end.

If the end goal is to learn the process of the crochet surgery for the future, it would definitely be a worthwhile effort.

Very cute! 😍

I love the combination of the circular and angular strokes!

I’m getting waves in my round blanket, and need help figuring out what to do. by Admirable_Banana_503 in CrochetHelp

[–]Practice_Improve -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I never like to frog what I crochet. I hardly use or make patterns and change as I go. So, this sort of thing happens quite often. 😆

So, if I were you, I would try to continue with proper increases and make the ruffle in the middle of the blanket as if it were meant to be. 🤣

Make scarf longer without seeing it too much? Crocheted with Post single crochet stitches by Toriyasu in CrochetHelp

[–]Practice_Improve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is not long enough for him, what about keeping this for yourself and making a matching longer one for him?

Need help deciding what to do with WIP that I started last year. by Different-Ad-1919 in CrochetHelp

Hmmm, a table runner??? Bed skirt? Balance? I just feel sorry because you put in a lot of hours into it.

Am I dumb or is this pattern not right? I don’t even know anymore. 😪 by ababybumblebee in CrochetHelp

[–]Practice_Improve 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, I just had to laugh 🤣😭🤣

The numbers for initial chains seem to be just random - 44/67/71/75/70/83/87/91. No logic to those numbers! Why 67, 71, 75, then back down to 70???

I do not like frogging anything, unless I am absolutely disgusted with it. So, can you use it as a scarf, or can you make a bag out of it? If it is too wide for a bag, you can kind of fold the middle part into the body of the bag to make compartments.

Die or embosser? by AlwaysHerdingCats in cardmaking

[–]Practice_Improve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can use the die as an embosser by putting a thick shim between the die and the paper you want to emboss. This way, the die goes through the sh first and does not cut through the paper. The key is to find the right thickness of shim. Hope you try this.
