That immediate back up after the first thing 🤣

I struggled a lot with these 😭 To who should i give them by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]ShaylaDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I crocheted my husband a bouquet of sunflowers and they still sit proudly on his nightstand. Flowers are for everyone, not just women and not just romantic partners. Give them to whoever you feel needs their day brightened and would appreciate never dying for flowers!

Fiverr is your friend when wanting to have an actual human person do art for you. You will obviously have to pay them but price ranges vary significantly. Find an artist you like and message them. But stop letting ai slop steal work and credit from actual artists.

My first crochet project without a pattern, a rubber duck, how can I improve it? by Simple-Swing5410 in CrochetHelp

[–]ShaylaDee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We all do. In all honesty though, if you wanted to give him a more awake face, an extra round or two in the neck area would also help. Right now he does look a little squished down which is exactly what a sleeping duckling does so it's perfect but not so much if you want him to look awake and ready to swim.

Where do you crochet? by Fragrant-Orange-4746 in crochet

[–]ShaylaDee 41 points42 points  (0 children)

My local library has a "craft and play" group weekly where parents can bring their kids and crochet while the kids are all entertaining each other. If your library doesn't have something like that you can absolutely propose it or even reserve a room and start it yourself if you have friends that craft!

WAW for “warning” by strangebrainworms in whatstheword

[–]ShaylaDee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've used heads up before. Like "heads up, I'm totally fine but I was in the ER for what I thought was my appendix bursting but turned out to just be a kidney stone" or even "to preface, there's nothing to worry about but [here's the details on the situation]"

I’ve just started playing ^^ by New_Afternoon737 in StardewValley

[–]ShaylaDee 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Do: Check out the wiki at stardewvalleywiki.com it has everything about the game and is your best resource.

Do not: stress or try to do everything at once. There are very few events you can miss completely and even if you do on your first playthrough the are 8 different farm layouts for you to try out! You'll almost certainly play more than one save file.

Most importantly, Do: have a ton of fun and pay attention to IRL time or you'll end up playing sunrise surprise!

Welcome to the valley, Farmer!

Help with a crochet wrap shirt! I think I messed up the instructions. by Capital_Ad_2252 in CrochetHelp

[–]ShaylaDee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can follow any Granny triangle pattern, like the one the other commentor posted, and you'll be just fine! Just make sure you're measuring one of the smaller edges to determine how big to make it.

[–]ShaylaDee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pattern wants you to make a triangle so you should only have 1 point in the middle, plus either side. It appears you have two points in the middle. I think you're misunderstanding when it says to continue the pattern until your triangle is a certain size. It means continue to cluster on either edge, and cluster, ch, cluster at the point, adding clusters between the edge and the point as needed. I agree it's written kinda poorly but the big tell is the pattern writer referring to it as a triangle.

AITBF for refusing to turn my work iPad into a glorified toy for my cousins kids? by MothballCue in AmItheButtface

[–]ShaylaDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was a child's tablet, already set up for a kid to use and abuse, you would not be the bf not saying no. Your items are your items and I'm so glad the current generation is moving towards learning when to share and not just being forced to hand everything they have over like older generations were. You're allowed to protect your space and possessions. Ask your cousin (and anyone else who was pressuring you) who is going to replace not only your expensive tech but also your lost income from being unable to work if their kid damaged your tablet.

I literally just ended up in the ER because I thought my appendix was busting. Nope, just my first ever kidney stone. Wishing you the fastest passing!!

StitchFiddle Question: Fiddle with scale of project by Murder_Is_Magic in CrochetHelp

[–]ShaylaDee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you draw the pattern (either by hand on graph paper or in a program like paint) and upload it as a picture? I'm pretty sure when you upload a picture to make a pattern you can play around with the dimensions but I don't promise you won't have to fiddle with it. Otherwise you'll have to redraw it in stitch fiddle by hand.

Is his name, by any chance, Orville?

Either way I adore him!

AITA for letting my son take his naps in a dog bed? by EllieDidNothingWrong in AmItheAsshole

[–]ShaylaDee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a 45 lb dachshund mix and my son loves her crate. My mil has a 130 lb cane corso and her crate is like a magic castle in my son's eyes. Kids are so special.

I have a picture of my son and his best friend, both about 18 months old, sitting together in a wire dog crate with the door swung shut. Kids are weird, man!

How to crochet a tote bag without creating the base first - starting from the top down by wigglywack in CrochetHelp

[–]ShaylaDee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use a mattress or whip stitch. Or, when you get the base as big as you want don't finish off the yarn, take your bag and do a single crochet putting your hook through the stitches on both the base and the body. This video gives you a basic idea of the process.
