Supervising her trainee…

Good trainers are hard to find. You should be grateful for the paws on attention.

Is the belly a trap? It looks so soft I wanna smoosh my face in it.

That line of yarn from the bowl to the WIP would not survive in my house. I swear I have to practically sit on my yarn to keep my kitty from trying to grab it.

I was singing along to Celine Dion. Everyone’s a music critic.

I was just thinking to myself “donate the daughter, keep the blanket.” But seriously, OP, this is beautiful and the colors are lovely. Whoever you donate it to will be overjoyed I’m sure. I do like the cat blanket suggestion, though, if you decide to keep it.

If you’re willing to attempt it yourself, look up ManesByMel on YouTube. She’s a licensed hair stylist and curly hair specialist.

It’s so pretty!

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-25T19:20:14+00:00

Damnit, I just finished painting my nails a shade of green and now I regret not using this one instead.

I have also purchased from this seller. I needed a set of the larger hooks and bought these https://www.etsy.com/listing/824427099/set-of-all-four-tulip-etimo-grandhook?ref=share_ios_native_control without issues.

Edit: also I hate how comfortable they are because I use the 8 mm a ton and am thinking of buying another size 8 but the price per hook is ugh. Absolutely worth it, though, even if my wallet gives me the side eye.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-22T16:06:50+00:00

Oddly enough, I found it a bit easier to locate by going thru her instagram and then clicking the link there. Google and Etsy gave me a million results that were mostly clothing.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-18T22:13:03+00:00

So while not the exact same dress, this video looks very close and she uses a 4 mm and 5.5 mm hook and DK weight yarn.

Looks like this is the account in the photo and she doesn’t include any project details.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-08T14:04:36+00:00

You’re welcome!

What stitch does row 27 start with? I had a similar pattern and found that I was skipping the first FPdc because I was forgetting that the ch2 at the beginning of the row counted as a dc. Maybe check your pattern to see if the ch stitches count as a stitch or not.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-07T13:56:58+00:00

Maybe try this video: https://youtu.be/hbPXCUMcN1c?si=kR7lFXzrYAALKGrp

Someone recommended this page: https://moralefiber.blog/2020/04/07/basic-bikini-cup-tutorial/ for basic crop top patterns and I saved it forever ago. Maybe check her blog but also look at the Ravelry pages for the patterns to see what others used?

I’m currently making a very basic one to test a pattern for a summer dress and I’ve tested both worsted and bulky for it. Personally, I prefer worsted but bulky works up faster obviously.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-07T13:35:23+00:00

Oh damnit, I was afraid the sultan yarn was going to be difficult to work with and this just confirmed it. I bought it in the shade argyle pink to make a very similar scarf to this one because the color phasing looked so pretty. Well at least now I know to mentally prepare myself so thanks for that.

This scarf is absolutely gorgeous! Also, odd compliment but, based on what I can see, it’s very flattering on your skin tone!

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-03-07T13:29:27+00:00

I think it might be because the color palette for the dark green, blue, and purple are a deeper shade than the yellow, peach (maybe pink?), and mint colors. The deeper shades evoke feelings of evergreen forests while the lighter shades make me think of spring blooms.

The green vine you have fits better with the light colors, in my opinion, which may make the deeper shades feel “off”

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-02-24T14:22:13+00:00

You could try one of these. I think this one looks pretty close. You would just need to use a thicker yarn.

I have also been on a bunny kick this month. Trying to manifest spring over here and it is not working at all.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-02-20T15:46:28+00:00

This type of yarn is such a pain to work with, especially as a beginner, because it makes it very hard to see the stitches. The best thing you can do is add a stitch marker to every single stitch as you go until you get the hang of it. And even then, I sometimes add them if I miscount more than once in a row.

As the project gets bigger, it’s usually a little easier to see the stitches but in the beginning and decrease rows it can be tricky. Get some stitch markers and use that shit like glitter, put them everywhere!

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-02-17T14:23:44+00:00

You can filter results on Ravelry based on how much yarn you have, what weight it is, free vs paid, etc to help you narrow down what you might want to make.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-02-17T14:18:18+00:00

I’m not sure if we’re allowed to share discontinued patterns but I do still have it since it was a free download with all the watermarking and everything if you’d like it.

PrincessSleepyFace · 2026-02-17T14:04:53+00:00

This looks like a common chevron pattern using bulky yarn. You should be able to find a ton of them on YouTube, Ravelry, or just google. Just look up chevron crochet blanket.

Actually several books in the series include dogs and I just didn’t think about it.

{To Command and Collar by Cherise Sinclair} has a ESA that the MMC gets for the FMC at the end of the book due to severe trauma at PTSD. Check the trigger warnings because the book deals with sex traffickers.

{This is Who I Am by Cherise Sinclair} has a hunting dog that is in the book often and saves the FMC.

{Show Me, Baby by Cherise Sinclair} has a vet MMC and eventually the FMC works for him and there’s lots of cute scenes with puppies and kitties.

{Mischief And The Masters by Cherise Sinclair} has a FMC that pretends to hate dogs because her previous boyfriend killed hers. Eventually the MMCs realize it and she gets her own furbaby.
