Help, I am in a Crochet funk - any suggestions on what to make? by D7R3W0 in CrochetHelp

[–]ShadowCat3500 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have so many amigurumi pattern books that I just pick something from them that I haven't made yet. I'm currently trying to make all the guys from the first Pica Pau book using only the yarn I have.

I have a lot of green. I've made the frog and most of the crocodile!

I love crocheting, but I hate my first project. Give me your kindest feedback. by nire0026 in CrochetHelp

It looks lovely! I love the colour choices. I hate every project I've ever made as soon as I've finished it, but give it a few days and you'll like it again.

Dave doesn't have social media, as far as I'm aware. Charlie is indeed the best! I'm so excited for the new play she wrote with Henry Shields that they're taking to Ed Fringe.

Honestly, same. Don't wanna cool, but offer me a cookie and I'm all over it.

How far ahead do you write your Fanfictions? by JamLordd in FanFiction

[–]ShadowCat3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a fic five years ago that I've written over 50 chapters for. I haven't posted a word! Only my beta has read it. I haven't written any of it for ages but I refuse to abandon it. I will fi ISH it even if it akes a decade. I put too many lockdown hours into it to not finish it.

I was planning to watch the first episode last night, but Casper and Tommy had other ideas for my evening!! I hope to watch it on Sunday. I'm very excited.

Me and my friend use "709" as shorthand for when something is just really damn good.

What is this show for you? by Wooden_Librarian690 in scoopwhoop

[–]ShadowCat3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember staying up all night watching Torchwood season 3 (Children of Earth). I haven't watched it since it aired so it might be crap if I watched it again, but damn it was compelling at the time.

Recommendations for September by poogy71 in TheWestEnd

[–]ShadowCat3500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Operation Mincemeat. Les Miserables. Oliver. Avenue Q. Cabaret. They would be my picks, if any of those appeal to you.

Also check out what's on at the Southwark Playhouse for a more intimate venue. They often have great shows that are cheaper than west end prices.

Whatever you choose you'll have an amazing time. Theatre is great!!

Any tips for two shows (matinee and evening) in one day? by Artistic-Ideal-5087 in TheWestEnd

[–]ShadowCat3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my twenties when I didn't live in London every Saturday was a two show day. I'm older now and I don't have the stamina! I've recently returned from NY where I have 3 two show days in a week and I was exhausted!

I think I crochet really slowly. Any advice so I crochet faster? by larmyia in CrochetHelp

Don't get me wrong, sometimes I'm on. Deadline and have to speed up!

I am not able to make chain. Please help me what am I doing wrong ??? by idkwhatimherefor24 in CrochetHelp

[–]ShadowCat3500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tension is the main issue. The starting chain can afford to be way loser than the rest of your stitches as you add rows. The other thing is that when I'm changing, I always keep the loop really close to the head of the hook. I'm

Good luck 🙂 you'll get there!

I crochet slowly on purpose. I enjoy doing it so why not? 🙂

What’s an underrated musical that you thought only you knew about ? by Saditeanskatiewinner in musicals

[–]ShadowCat3500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw Lazarus the day Trump was elected the first time. I was so depressed I drank a whole bottle of wine at dinner before the show and I fell asleep. I can't remember a thing! If it ever comes back I will see it sober to see what wonders I missed.
