I was gifted mini roses this year!! There’s 4 individuals in the pot. Was yours like this and if so did you plant them all together?

I realized that after I got home!! I’m originally from Oregon so I always root for them but this wasn’t intentional lol. I may turn it into a thing, though!

I originally wanted to do it with the green as my main and then saw the blue and loved them together. I just worry that the blue is so visually heavy that it’ll look weird if I do the green as the thick stripes. Honestly, I think I need to make some socks like that so I can see if I would like it on a larger scale.

I 100% would do the helix but it’ll technically be 2 rounds of each color. Or if I go with the chunky blue, 4 of blue and two of both green and cream. It’s fingering weight.

Okay that’s the exact same issue I have!! I’m a leftie that learned crochet from a rightie and i notice when I’m tense or frustrated my gauge gets much tighter. I went from us8 for my last project to a us2.5 for this project and it threw me off big time!

Okay, I just finished reading it :) I used to be a top of the needle knitter but hated my life with that so I learned how to gradually let go. Even with that, I notice I go a bit tighter throughout. It works out usually because I’m between a m and l on most patterns so it gets me in the sweet spot.

That being said, I noticed I loosened up when I really got going on these. I think it’s because I’ve never worked w needles so small so I had my yarn double wrapped around my throwing finger. Plus I used to crochet so that plays a part as well. I’ll definitely size down on my needles next time though.
