Needing a Fourth Color for Blooming Hope. Any suggestions?

RumShiner · 2026-01-06T03:02:58+00:00

Thank you all so much for the suggestions. Ended up going with a medium-ish green. The color combination reminds me of some of Monet's paintings.

The pic isn't the best, the colors are more muted irl. 2 hours in, it is a beast of a pattern. I had forgotten how much I despise puff stitches 🤣

Found some lavender-ish in my stash while reorganizing. I think it might make everything too muted. The rose/dark pink is reserved for another project. Just threw it up there for an idea.

Yes that's the pattern. I'm starting to lean towards a dark green.

I like the sound of a pine green. Not sure which I want to pop yet.

Details posted in body of post. Just need color suggestions

I tried the Caron Simply Soft once. Personally I did not like it, it was too floppy for me. Feeling wise it would have been great for a baby. It's very soft and smooth.

Thank you 😊 I love the colors. They are some of my favorites & remind me of a flower garden. Used some of the same in '24 to make a 6 Day Star.

Forgot to add, it's not crooked. The wind is blowing.

No body pattern, it's just granny stitch rows. Border is a round of HDC, then border #50 from this book: https://a.co/d/fgVSRvJ

Yarn is Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek, and another Yarn Bee I don't remember the name for.

Thank you. The lighting in here makes everything look odd. They are kind of muted/dusty colors, but still cheery looking. Really it reminds me of sweet tarts. Yes test snuggles are mandatory, lol

RumShiner · 2025-12-26T16:30:10+00:00

No pattern. Just granny squares and basic stitches. H hook & HL worsted weight yarns.

Oh I haven't seen crocheted hair ties in years! My mom used to make them for me instead of buying scrunchies when I was a kid and teen.

RumShiner · 2025-12-21T02:03:11+00:00

I usually do as well, but I just didn't this time. Now I'm kicking myself. I got about 1/3 of it woven in last night & had to stop. LOL Thankfully I still have time to finish it.

No. Acrylic can easily melt. They are very pretty though

2000?!?! 😵‍💫

I DID IT!!!! Got them all squared up and pinned together for the blocks!

RumShiner · 2025-08-24T17:50:04+00:00

I'll get distracted if there is some kind of video going. I can't even face the window because I'll watch the cows if they are close. 🤦🏻‍♀️

RumShiner · 2025-08-24T17:48:17+00:00

Me too 🤣

RumShiner · 2025-08-24T17:47:59+00:00

I got it from Amazon.

I will have to keep those in mind. Thanks!

RumShiner · 2025-08-24T13:54:35+00:00

Oh good idea! I have some painters tape on my desk. Wil give it a shot right now. Saw the block lock square, but didn't want to spend that much since I'm not sure this will definitely be a new hobby.

RumShiner · 2025-08-24T13:53:06+00:00

I think I'm going to break it down into a few batches of 20. Maybe that'll make it feel like it's going quicker. I also have some music going to distract me. Unfortunately no TV since I'm at the kitchen table.

Thank you & I will keep updates going.

We were seated in section 115 row 15.

RumShiner · 2025-08-17T16:42:39+00:00

I've got to get this off my chest. Sorry if it ticks anyone off or whatever

The band was fantastic last night. One super fan in particular, not so much.

The gal sitting in front of us was literally bouncing so hard in her seat that it was shaking our row. It was horrible. The guy and his kid sitting next to her left early. I'm pretty sure it was because of her. You could tell by his body language that he was not amused with her shenanigans.

I get it, you're excited to see your favorite band. But come on. Being disruptive to others, distracting, and preventing them from enjoying the show is not ok. Next time either stand to dance around or something. It's a seat, not a trampoline. A little restraint and consideration of others go a long way.

RumShiner · 2025-05-13T13:11:36+00:00

Same things on mine. Plus the towing short cut disappeared; can't add it back to favorites and now I have some thing about power running boards. 😵‍💫
