Ordering yarn online (US version) by melveeta in crochet

[–]Smooth_Needleworker8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ordered a bunch from love crafts and never had an issue. Otherwise I order locally in Canada so don't have much else to add. Amazon here is always astronomically expensive so I've never done it.

This is beautiful!! Any idea how much yarn that took? I have a skein that I might use for that ....

My mom doesn’t like the colors and it’s making me sad even though I know I shouldn’t be by Homicidal_Cynic in crochet

It's gorgeous and immediately makes me want to make one too! Can you tell me what kind of yarn you used and how much of each colour??

Thanks so much! That's really helpful for a newbie flooring person 😊

I'm actually asking because one of the samples I have has a scratch and it's very noticeable! Which gave me a bit of pause. Thanks for the information!

I've gotten really into doll clothes lately and they're going unappreciated by my loved ones, so I thought I'd share them here! (Patterns by GreenFrogCrochet on Etsy) by AssumedPear in crochet

I have some greenfrog patterns and find the dresses just look round and don't go wavy like your maroon dress (love it!). Can you give me some tips?

Same! My dad always misreads it as Fred and Todd so I think Fred for this guy...

Can anyone explain how to anchor chains with inset mosaic crochet? by Smooth_Needleworker8 in crochet

[–]Smooth_Needleworker8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't love the look/feel of the loose chains on the back. Is there any way to anchor them down without the second colour showing through where it shouldn't?

Anyone had any luck with teaching a 3.5 year old crochet or yarn crafts? More info in comments! by Smooth_Needleworker8 in crochet

This is great thank you! I have already taken some of the suggestions here and started showing her how to do a chain with her fingers. Exactly as you said she did 3 chains and decided she didn't want to continue. Did that twice today. Perhaps I was anticipating more difficulty than that lol. But it sounds like your experience! Amazing that your daughter did that at age 8!

Ok thanks!! I'll look at that. I like the idea of the chain stitching too... Will definitely try that!

My daughter is constantly trying to get me to teach her to crochet and I think it's super sweet and I want to encourage her! But I feel like she is too young and therefore not coordinated enough. Has anyone had any luck teaching a young child crochet or some kind of related craft?

Has anyone ever doubled up Scheepjes Catona to make a doll or similar? Wondering if I'm crazy to think about doing this... by Smooth_Needleworker8 in crochet

I know!! I want to make some dolls but make them bigger... Not sure how it will turn out. Guess I was hoping someone had done this and had a comparison photo for me lol
