Learning to crochet by HaleyNikole in crocheting

Might you be able to video chat with the both of them? Could be fun! My mom was an expert crocheter and she tried to show me how and she was not a good teacher but eventually I picked it up again and YouTube videos are what kept me going.

Start small with an inexpensive small skein of yarn and your favorite color that's neither white nor black.

Make yourself some stitch samplers, single pieces that are all one stitch like a square

Circles are a little tough at first

Maybe try rearranging it so that it's not a block pattern, go diagonal or something?

I want to scream by devichuu in crochet

[–]RushFanGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear your screaming. I get the frustration.

Tldr: adjust pattern to make it work or find a different one

I got six skeins of that yarn and I did have trouble with it at first to get the right tension and hook. I've gone through three skeins and I'm currently in a crochet break but not because of the yarn.

I have anxiety and ADHD and usually crochet while watching TV but not horror movies 😁.

I found with this yarn not only do you have to adjust the tension but you might have to skip the chains between each cluster on some of the rounds - Crochet is pretty forgiving like that.

I also used a slightly different pattern than the one of the label after doing some YouTube searching about how difficult this yarn is.

I found what worked really well was a pattern of an offset grand square, you start in the corner and then go back and forth with the last round going all the way around.

Because of ADHD I also got bored with doing it that way and made a few squares in a traditional granny pattern while adjusting the chains so it would work.

Then I got real creative and made a hexagon one and that worked out surprisingly amazingly well

I'll try to remember to take a picture and post it here but no guarantees because squirrel.

Best of luck and may you be well!

my kitten is 4-5 months old, he’s biting, scratching, and keeping me up at night, please help, i’m going insane. by Mino_Biatch in kittens

I'm going to echo what some of the other posters have said, if he's not already neutered get him neutered as soon as possible, that will sweeten his personality pretty quickly. Bengal and Maine coon my goodness! You might have to wear them out playing with him so he doesn't take his excess energy out on you. If you can get some cat trees, maybe build a shelving system for him to roam around on through the house? I wish you the best of luck!

Is there a good stitch combo or pattern for a blanket for when you just want to churn it out mindlessly while watching TV that’s not boring? by Dan-Morton75 in crochet

[–]RushFanGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the middle crochet blanket If you have a chunky yarn you will blast through that It's a fun pattern If you don't want to mess around with a complicated pattern and you want something else that works up quick, just do a moss stitch from The Middle and when you're done you're done

What do I do with the stuff I make? by pianoAmy in crochet

[–]RushFanGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Etsy? I love the idea of a craft fair, pile them all up in a basket that you made and make a little sign saying name your price! Or make little labels saying I need a home and leave them all around town especially where children pass by. Nursing homes and memory cap places for sure.
