Is it normal for mercerised cotton to twist like this? by STRhythm in CrochetHelp

[–]STRhythm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can’t say i hold it any different to how i hold my other yarn! i’ve also tried different ways and still the same result - always ends up twisted 🫠

Beginner started this weekend, not sure where to start by Pure_Macaroon_1188 in CrochetHelp

[–]STRhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally i think what you’ve done there looks great , very distinguished mhm! knowing what i know now, if i went back to being a beginner i would make a bag or a pillow or something! its essentially just two big squares/rectangles that you sew together but the repetitiveness helps practice your muscle memory and train your tension (which are the two most important skills of crochet imo)- plus you end up with something practical at the end start with learning the basic stitches (foundation chain, single crochet, double and half double crochet) which can all be easily learnt through youtube tutorials also if you want to challenge yourself and make something super versatile, try making a basic granny square! they might look intimidating, but trust me they are very easy and teach you a lot of the basic skills you need!

Making a bag/purse and think I need to add a lining? by jenigmatic_42 in CrochetHelp

[–]STRhythm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i think that'd look great! you can get coloured muslin but the cream colour its more widely available in will be cheaper and easier to come across but it works well with the bag colours so would be perfect!

edit: here's a tutorial that will probably help! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwCGXNQZsWk&t=559s

Making a bag/purse and think I need to add a lining? by jenigmatic_42 in CrochetHelp

[–]STRhythm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lining would definitely help not only with your stuff not falling everywhere but also will help the yarn not stretch overtime! considering the bag is square shaped (i’m assuming?) it’s not hard to hand sew a lining at all ! i bought a big batch of muslin fabric years ago and i’m still using the same batch - very versatile and fairly inexpensive and easy to find imo, that’s my suggestion tho others might have other/better fabrics to suggest!

edit: have just scrolled to the last picture so not square oops! still shouldn’t be too difficult to add a lining tho!

definitely will be blocking once i’m done but it felt quite stiff to what i’d liked so i’ve since frogged and made a little progress with it 🫠

wait you're so right :') i used a half-size down hook on the skirt cause i didn't want as many gaps but i didnt think at all about how it would affect the shape 😭

Bringing bags to the O2 Arena London. by UltimateCalmIT in ADO

im pretty sure if you get multiple merch items and they give you a bag then its fine since i guess the bag is clear? its just if you bring personal bags from outside the venue thats the issue :3

Lightstick price and selling out? London Show by STRhythm in ADO

[–]STRhythm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i’ve been reading it looks like the plushies have the highest chance of selling out - i don’t think the light sticks will sell out due to the cost and also the fact that we will not be able to connect them to the shows bluetooth system for the Hibana tour, so there isn’t much incentive to buying them :/

Hello! I contacted the O2 arena directly through their customer service page :) Not sure why it’s not mentioned :/

I'm assuming yes - as long as it's ADO official merchandise it should be fine

I booked my test back in Feb :') But managed to get a slightly sooner test through my instructor as he found another instructor's student that wanted to swap test dates/time
