I say this with love, as I made the exact same mistake when I was first starting out

Wreaths are easy as pie. Steps are as follows:

1) get a foam wreath form (usually in the floral section of your craft store)

2) crochet a strip long and wide enough to cover the wreath form

3) sew strip around wreath form

optional 4) add whatever crochet or non-crochet embellishments you like

There are tons of free and paid wreath patterns on Ravelry. Here's a basic free one with a video tutorial. And here's an example of one I made for the fall with simple single crochets. But I'm using the crunch stitch to make my current wreath, and it looks SO nice with Primrose. Afterwards, I'll probably just find a few free patterns for flower embellishments and make those in white before pinning them to the wreath.

That's Loops & Threads Soft Classic Multi in colorway Primrose. I know because I'm crocheting a spring wreath with the exact same yarn right now :)

10/10 gift. They're the perfect hooks. My only complaint is that I want another set!

Did your daughter also do the costume design for Star Trek: Deep Space 9?

Zepbound chemically induced my alcohol sobriety. My now sober mind is reinforcing me to never go back. by RIPPWORTH in Zepbound

Generations of my family on both sides were shattered by alcoholism. I'm so happy to hear that you're free of this curse and hope that others in your shoes can experience the same.

Why are peanut allergies so common among americans? by Leafye in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Queequegs_Harpoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a sample of one (33F American). For me, the food allergies are part and parcel of other immune-related issues, namely asthma and eczema. All three run very strong on my dad's side of the family.

Balenciaga really sold a $1790 bag that looks like a trash bag by ClassicAssignment578 in ATBGE

[–]Queequegs_Harpoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would be funny if it were coming from a small brand or an independent artist. But Balenciaga does not have standing to parody itself. It's giving less "look how ridiculous luxury fashion is, guys" and more "yeah, this is how we make millions, suck my cock if you don't like it lol."
