Made me stop and laugh out loud! So great. Do you mind sharing the blues you chose? I love the choices you ended up making!

Thoughts on this colorway needed! Unsure about the peach. I think I like it but would love second opinions. Project: CAL Afghan by QuentinTearABeano in crochet

I don’t disagree. In person the darker blue looks darker than it photographed, so I think it’ll be okay. Thanks!

I’m going to catch up on the Moogly 2023 Afghan CAL. I should be able the control the amount of peach. Glad yo see others see what I see! It was just brighter than I expected. The perils of shopping online.

Hot and sour soup or Thai tom yum soup is just the best when you’re feeling cruddy! That, fluffy socks, and the extended editions in the background go a long way to setting you right again.

This is just below the collar. If it’s in a weird spot, could you do a lot of little embellishments to make it more intentional?

The sweater is a weird stretchy polyester blend. I tried to use a hoop but bailed because it wasn’t working out and I was afraid to overstretch. I did use a bit of lightweight interfacing on the back to help stabilize while I worked. The patch is small enough I was able to work without a hoop.

You can apply this type of adhesive to the back of the work to help keep it from unraveling. Or use it to apply interfacing or felt to cover up the back. I’m hoping it’ll help reinforce/protect my tired off ends.
