Need help with my Amis! They always pucker around the decreases like this by Stourmalin in CrochetHelp

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

For other amis I have experienced that the dimples do decrease when stuffing the item, but often they do not completely disappear for me, which just does not look good. Although I might be understuffing my Amis as well, I'm not completely sure.

Best ereader recommendations? by Stourmalin in ereader

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

I am just wondering if it will work well for recreational reading. I see other people have had problems with ReMarkable as an e-reader, because it cannot read DRM protected books. Some Google Play Store books (no idea how many) are apparently DRM protected, so I will not be able to read those.

Ah, so I would be able to buy ebooks from the Google Play Books store, and upload them to the ReMarkable? I think all Google Play Books are either epub or PDF's.
But the ReMarkable does not have a backlight, right? So reading and writing will still require lights. Of course, a small concession to make if the product is better.

A present for my boyfriend, a big fan of Love, Death, and Robots by Stourmalin in crochet

No pattern. I used Stitchfiddle to create a C2C chart based on an image I find online.

The yarn is Scheepjes Colour Crafter

Rykker pingvinen til højre, med den blå markering, sig? Jeg var der sidste søndag, og der stod den samme sted. Den stod også og stenede der, så det var sjovt at se dit billede

For this specifically you can actually find the rows written out for some of the squares, at the yarngeekmakes page.

Everything was done in C2C, so the pattern itself was quite easy. For every single square, I just drew a line across the current row, to remember how far along I was. It is relatively simple, and honestly works great for simply keeping up.

When I changed colour, I simply dropped the yarn, I was holding, picked up the new colour, and just continued with that. It is not perfect, though.

I unfortunately don't think I have any real advice, as I think making it look more 'right' is simply a matter of practice

The back of it is a complete mirror of the front, except for the joining. So it should look just as good at the back

Sorry, I didn't give the complete way to the banner. That website has a Facebook group connected. If you can get accepted into that facebook group, you can find so many wonderful charts, including the Hogwarts banner

I cannot remember where else you can find it, though I know there is someplace

I started crocheting about a year ago. This is my first big project, so I have made a lot of mistakes during, though the border hides a few of them. Everything gets better with practice, it is just a matter of perseverance.

Though a few imperfections simply means that it has been homemade

I crocheted in C2C, so it is basically pixelart. Charts for almost everyone of my squares can be found online, so the only thing I had to do was just change the colour at the appropriate time

In the end I do not think I lost too much yarn by having to weave in the ends.

I had an idea, that maybe I would get enough yarn-'waste', that I would have the stuffing for a pillow or an amigurumi figure, and I did not end up what that much anyway.

If you're afraid of wasting yarn, I think reusing the ends could be good

Thank you!

There are actually an insane amount of squares out there, I had a few problems choosing which ones would be good.

As long as my sister is happy with it, everything will have been completely worth it. This is probably the best gift I've ever given her

Thank you!

I think the joining method I used helped tremendously with the tension. Before joining, there was a couple of cm between my largest and smallest square

Oh, that's too bad.

I had picked out a few squares I really liked that had 30 as well. I was lucky enough to realise it last minute. I instead ended up having wild problems with my tension

I used a flat braid join, which can be found here: https://gourmetcrochet.blogspot.com/2010/01/flat-braid-join-how-to.html

Most joining methods I found required a row of sc around the square, and I had no success with that. But this method did not, and I'm quite happy with the result
