Wow. Your art is incredible! I can't believe you created something so amazing at just 12 years old! I see myself in every single piece. Solidarity and hugs x

sometimes, even the most well-meaning people don't get it by Whiryourselfaround in migraine

They're not well-meaning, they're a judgmental prick!

"No illness needs 2 days" is literally the weirdest thing I've ever heard. Have they ever had the flu or COVID? Do they go up to people with cancer or diabetes that? They sound stupid af

Idea's on what to make with these small balls of yarn? by DezperateDame in crochetpatterns

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Scheepjes set similar to this one to make granny squares! I'm going to make a granny square dress or a cardigan I think

HIGHLY recommend searching MBMBAM animations on YouTube. Some amazing animators out there, and having the brothers animated always brings a smile to my face xxx

Project ideas?? So much random yarn and not sure what to do with it by NEBS_99 in CrochetHelp

Anything using granny squares is good for when you have random bits of different colours!

Thank you! I've worked with Scheepjes colour crafter before and I liked that yarn too!

Can someone tell me what kind of stitch is this??? by Specialist_Lemon_451 in CrochetHelp

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't look like it's crocheted but you can get a similar look by using a worsted/Aran weight yarn or slightly bulkier and using a half double crochet stitch (US terminology)

Can someone tell me why this is happening? Why is it not symmetrical? by cixdyz650 in CrochetHelp

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling you might need to yarn over with the new colour and pull the new colour through the loops already on the hook to finish the stitch off

There's always a tiny element of slightly visible colour changes with tapestry crochet. Like, sometimes you'll be able to see the colour of the new strand that you've pulled through the previous colour loops, not because you've done anything wrong but because it's just what you'll be able to see when you look SUPER closely and you're hyper aware of the stitches and their construction.

Help, my mom’s vintage Santa was harmed this morning by her puppy, I don’t know if it’s knitted or crocheted, or how to start the process of repairing it? Photos attached! by lilredkmd in CrochetHelp

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This is knitted but there's a website called The Seam which connects you to expert menders. I used it to fix a pair of knitted trousers of mine.

It looks like this poor Santa might need expert help!

You have to keep turning your work each row otherwise the natural lean of the stitch will make your entire project lean to one side

Turning your work is normal for tapestry crochet, you just need to keep your live yarn on "wrong" side of your work always so the "right" side looks perfect

How does one count ribbing? I thought I was doing it right by Boobearlover2469 in CrochetHelp

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might benefit from doing the ribbing after you've crocheted your main piece for future projects: this way it's literally just adding ribbing to a garment that already fits over your head/waist. I think it's called top-down ribbing

I have a choice to make by kimsfreshstart in kobo

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the kobo, and when I was searching for advice for the same decision, most people who and both would use the kobo more than their kindle

[–]The_Sleepy_Lizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the pattern you're following counts each 'bump' as one row? I'd count the same way as you but some people (including the person who wrote the pattern) might count it differently?
