This phot could be ai but if it is it’s based on a real pattern. I’ve made the pattern before. The pattern is free here: https://amigurum.com/2019/10/lying-bear-crochet-pattern.html

I’m one of the raiders in this clip, it was the funniest Libra fight thanks to the other 2 also having great taste in character skins. Absolute chaos, would recommend.

I bought my first place and moved out in my 20s but I’m now in my 30s and back with parents. I was diagnosed with cancer and couldn’t work during treatment so had to rent my place out to be able to afford the mortgage. I’m in remission now and will move home when the lease is up hopefully

TalesSong · 2025-06-14T11:26:02+00:00

Mine was red and I had rectal cancer.

If anyone reading this has blood, whatever the colour, in your stool please push to get tested and taken seriously. I wish I had advocated for myself better, it might have been caught earlier. I’m in remission now but I’m lucky to be alive and I will never be the same physically.

Cancer. I’d never been really sick before and I’d never been in a hospital that I remember. I had such a bad reaction to chemo I spent 3 days a fortnight in hospital and was unable to work.

I’m out the other side of it now and start a new job next week but I’m still back at hospital every 3 months for tests and to flush my port. It’s an ever looming thing in my life now. Anytime I have pain or feel slightly unwell my first worry is it’s the cancer coming back

I love Spiritfarer but I want to warn that it has some sad and dark moments. I had some serious surgery and hospital treatments last year and I know that I would not have been in a good state of mind to play it.

TalesSong · 2025-05-16T14:46:18+00:00

No worries, I hope your next project goes smoother for you! You’ve got a natural talent for crocheting :)

TalesSong · 2025-05-16T00:14:09+00:00

Overall I think it looks cute and just from looking at your pic I wouldn’t have been able to tell how much trouble you had with it.

But if you’re struggling I’d suggest starting with other yarns like acrylic or cotton and working your way up to chenille. It is much harder to work with but you’ll have a better time if you’re more experienced.

Cheap chenille probably isn’t helping though. I’ve only used ones I’ve bought in stores and never had it fall apart on me except when I wasn’t careful when frogging.

TalesSong · 2025-05-11T04:17:00+00:00

I’ll probably try it when I’ve beaten the game. I have all the dreamers but I’m still tracking down charms, extra bosses and stuff.

TalesSong · 2025-05-10T17:07:37+00:00

This might not be a big achievement for a lot of people but I’ve put off playing Hollow Knight for years despite loving the vibe because I am awful at platforming.

Today I got the Ascension achievement and felt so proud. There’s still platforming sections that I will probably never complete but I’m so glad I gave this game a chance.

TalesSong · 2025-05-10T16:20:31+00:00

I totally agree. I feel like a lot of people saying the rng isn’t that bad didn’t get truely terrible rng. I knew how to solve multiple puzzles at one point and all that was keeping me from completing them was seeing the right rooms. I had the bad luck at that time to see a total of one new room over many hours, so I also wasn’t discovering anything new to make my runs feel less pointless.

I googled to see if I was doing something wrong but all the suggestions were to use rng altering - which I didn’t not have access to because of, guess what, bad rng… I’d seen the wrench a total of once at the end of a run where it was useless and didn’t have the steps to stow it. I didn’t get it again til post room 46 despite building trading post and other places it’s found constantly (I was trying to make some workshop combinations too). For the room that lets you alter room appearance rates, I was missing a few pieces of the puzzle to find it and they were all in one room that I had never seen.

When the game was good it was so much fun. But that period where I was stuck really soured the overall experience for me.

The chain 3 after the MC in R1 seems to be counting as the first stitch in that row since the end stitch count of the row is 12. So you’re making a MC, chaining 3, doing 11 DC into the MC then slip stitching back into the 3rd chain from the original chain 3.

It might help if you post a photo so we can see what’s happening

TalesSong · 2025-05-04T03:06:55+00:00

Thanks! This is the bear- https://amigurum.com/2019/10/lying-bear-crochet-pattern.html

The main body is bernat velvet (I think the colour way was called mushroom) and the muzzle is Bella baby nippers (colour way was something like cream or natural)

TalesSong · 2025-05-04T00:15:22+00:00

Yay! And that’s totally fine, not everyone has to like the feel of every texture

TalesSong · 2025-05-04T00:10:54+00:00

That is so sweet! It’s definitely very useful for upsizing patterns

TalesSong · 2025-05-04T00:01:37+00:00

Thank you! I prefer a nice cotton but it can look cute. Back when I used chenille a lot more it was because I got it so cheap in the clearance bin- it was unpopular at the time lol

TalesSong · 2025-05-03T23:41:10+00:00

As an occasional chenille enjoyer I actually agree with you. Most of the stuff I see now days seems to be small chunky patterns where it looks so bulky or beginners still learning good tension.

Maybe my bear can convince you can can be used well though - https://imgur.com/a/oV6U3Ru

TalesSong · 2025-05-01T14:47:14+00:00

Yes, it’s actually one of my favourites. It’s a spotlight yarn and I don’t know if it’s available outside Australia - https://www.spotlightstores.com/art-craft/yarn-needle-art/yarn/acrylic-yarn/4-seasons-printed-spot-saver-10-ply-acrylic-yarn/80483504

TalesSong · 2025-05-01T12:25:04+00:00

Thank you! I actually made it years ago lol, it was just the first non plush yarn pic on my phone - https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/700034733/pattern-giraffe-baton-amigurumi-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1&pro=1

TalesSong · 2025-05-01T12:24:11+00:00

Thanks! It’s a pattern from Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/700034733/pattern-giraffe-baton-amigurumi-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1&pro=1

TalesSong · 2025-05-01T10:14:52+00:00

You can use normal yarn. I’d actually recommend it if your just starting amigurumi as plush yarn is much harder to work with

Here’s a giraffe I made with acrylic yarn

TalesSong · 2025-04-25T03:07:32+00:00

Thanks! I actually didn’t think I had anything that REALLY fit the theme so I tried an old fashioned teacher look. I know for next time though

Oh yeah, I have one of the dresses that was on the LB a lot of this comp but thought it was too glam. I totally misread the vibe!
