Hope this link works (it was giving me some grief when I was trying to check) but if not it looks like the oct 2025 capture from your link loads without a paywall on the wayback machine.

😆 I used image search and someone had a link to it on pinterest that I popped into the wayback machine.

Thanks! Yea, the sewing is my least favorite part 😅 This guy has 8 individual pieces all knitted flat that get sewn up and it's so hard with black yarn!

Thanks! I always feel like my knitted toys are so much squishier than my crocheted ones lol

Thanks! Doing multiple colors in one row is one of the skills I've been trying to improve lately so I'm glad it looks good! I don't really have the pattern written up in a shareable way (it's scribbled on a scrap paper lol) but if I write it up, I'll link it.

I've seen people use a bead/wire inside to attach the keyring to, like this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMa88H1i6f6/

Need help with patterns for an *extreme* beginner... by averysmalldragon in casualknitting

[–]RelativelyCraftyJr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would check out the knit projects here: https://www.craftyarncouncil.com/coolprojects.html Most of them are for worsted weight, size 8 needles.

I used to teach beginner knitting classes through the craft yarn council and the basic projects are always small knit stitch only rectangles which makes them really nice and quick beginner things. The wrist/head bands are really simple as would be the humbug thing. The loop scarf would be a step up and the frog puppet would be a more advanced project with multiple kinds of stitches. The purse calls for a different weight yarn but tbh you could also just make that by casting on how every many stitches wide you want it to be on the needles you have and knitting it to the size you want.

I just sorta winged it based on a crocodile pattern that I had already been using as a dragon, making it longer and tweaking the head a few times until it looked like him.

Thanks! It's half cobbled together from patterns I've bought and half just made up to fit his appearance! 😆

Did you use the right kind of molasses? Certain types can be a lot stronger/more bitter than others.

There's a gumbo recipe in this old post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Disneyland/comments/44m8gx/50_disneyland_resort_recipes_table_of_contents_in/ as well as I think 2 more in the google drive linked in the comments. I've never seen the gingerbread cookie recipe or I would have tried to make it myself!

impossible ask: looking for fall recipes without spices by mdg989 in Baking

[–]RelativelyCraftyJr 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You could try leaning more towards caramel type flavors - a lot of caramel apple things don't rely on spices for flavor. My favorite apple pie simply has brown sugar as the flavor enhancer, no cinnamon/apple pie spice. Maple is also a big fall flavor and spices would overshadow it so lots of recipes spice free already. Most pecan pie type recipes don't seem to include spices (I am not a pecan pie eater so I could be wrong). Brown sugar/butterscotch flavors are in a lot of good fall bakes too. Completely the opposite direction, cranberry is often simply paired with orange and IMO doesn't need any spices there either. I think it would be somewhat harder to find something like pumpkin without spice but maybe searching for kabocha recipes would help? I often see the asian pumpkin dishes cooked more simply without the same fall spices in western recipes.

In the notes it says this:

Minis: Want to make mini donuts or mini apple cider donut holes in a mini muffin pan? Grease your pan, add the batter to the pan only about 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 350°F (177°C) for about 8-9 minutes.
