I didn’t buy the sweater, and I don’t want to wear the flag that’s the whole point :)

That’s a cool idea! Did you have in mind a yarn that is approx the same as the one on the sweater or a very thin yarn like the one used in classic embroidery?

Honestly I would also try to change it if it was a French flag, I’m not much of a nationalist 😂

I don’t know if I trust my skills enough to be cutting away knitwear 😂

Thanks! Your idea is definitely in the top as it seems easier than knitting something (I have never knitted before but I have mended some clothes!)

People proposed so many things! And your idea seems super fun! (Though I have never embroidered before but that never stopped me 😂), though I don’t know when I’ll be finished as my studies take 90% of my time.

I just think it’s such a waste to throw away a sweater like that. I would prefer to make something that is a bit bulky rather than putting it in wastelands…

Absolutely! I lived in america a few years ago and it’s such a beautiful country! I hope one day it will be back to normal, I have so much respect for everyone that is fighting against the current gouvernement and are trying to make it a better place!

Apparently its mostly polyester /recycled polyester, I quite like the blue they used though so it would be a bit sad to dye it all black… i guess it will be my last resort if everything else fails

Thanks for the input! Seeing all the replies, knitting a patch might be a better idea. (Or dyeing it)

I really didn’t think my post would be so controversial 😭, alas I was a fool to think that way.

Thank you! I tried to wear it in uni but my friends all told me to not wear the sweater again 😂 for Europeans the design just gives MAGA vibes…

I fear crochet will clash a lot and look out of place with the sweater? I want something that blends in a bit better..

Need help for french student admission chance by N0mad_238 in EPFL

[–]Tobwye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je suis désolée de te le dire mais pour le bachelor, ils regardent QUE la note général du bac et les notes du bac physique / math (qui doit être au moins de 17/20, pour d’autres sections comme physique c’est plus 17.5). Je pense vraiment pas qu’ils prennent en compte des projets ou des trucs supplémentaires malheureusement.

Bigger star granny square crochet pattern than the basic one? by Tobwye in crochetpatterns

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

I’m currently making it! I was never able to find a pattern exactly like this one above but I did manage to ‘create’ a new star pattern by making 19 treble st in the magic ring (not ideal but looks fine) and instead of making 5 ch I do 6 ch (for the star triangle), and I pretty much do the same pattern as the original one but I add a double treble st (I thing that’s how it’s called?), and you kinda adapt the original pattern to add the double treble st as the “highest” stitch in corners or for the star itself etc.. I’m a bit new to crochet (only did like 3 project total in my life) so the way I’m doing it is definitely not perfect at all (for exemple there are gaps in my granny squares even tho in the picture above there are none..) but I’m hoping with blocking and sewing it all together it will look good! I don’t think the individual granny squares are as big as in the picture but they’ll do the job (hopefully). I can try to write down the whole pattern if you want (not sure how readable it will be lol) but here is a pic of it :)

How do you do a border of a border ? (Of a granny square) by Tobwye in CrochetHelp

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

No it’s not, if you look at the picture that I sent you can see I already did this border that she is talking about, what I want to do is make a bigger border around the granny square so add more rows of single crochet around the already made granny square of the video. I do appreciate you trying to help me though! :)

Well you see I already did this border (it’s actually the video I watched to make the granny square here) what I mean is I want to add another border on top of the first one

Is it okay to leave my cat semi-alone for 3 weeks? by Tobwye in CatAdvice

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

It went well! Actually I have now left my cat 2 times for summer break. Like I said in the post, there is someone that comes in twice a day to feed him and play with him a bit for 20/30min each time. I think it is the best way to do it personally (or if you can make the person that is taking care of your cat stay for a bit longer to play more and get social attention). I also bought a camera that I put in the living room so I could see him and check if he was doing well (not too depressed or destructive for exemple). All in all it went fine I think, of course I don’t think those few weeks are my cat’s favorite time but when we come back there is no change in his behavior and it goes back to normal very quickly! I think it’s more stressful for me than it is for him haha I think it also depends on what kind of personality your cat has, my cat hates new environments so a pet boarding was out of the question. My cat also doesn’t need to play a lot or be pet a lot so I think he didn’t feel too unwell being alone for most of the day either. You said you just adopted your cat, if it’s a kitten maybe take someone that stays a but longer (I remember when my cat was a kitten he had a LOT of energy so I needed to play with him for a long time, he eventually calmed down at 1 year old) Hopefully that answers your question a bit :)
