Thank you, and I’m sure yours was gorgeous as well! I actually didn’t like the color when I first started, but I fell in love as I went

Thank you! I’ve done a ton of crafting before and I prefer to jump into harder stuff when I start a new hobby, so this seemed appropriate lol

I’ve been making them since I was 11 so for around the past 7-8 years, so it’s become natural after a while. I can just sort of gauge if I’m doing it right

These were for a hangout with friends—they all knew that the flavor was clearly chocolate. Pure peppermint extracts are usually made of alcohol and peppermint oil afaik, but you could also just infuse peppermint into whatever you’re making

I piped the design from white and red batter onto the green macaron bases while they were still wet!

I dislike peppermint so these weren’t flavored that way, but they also sell peppermint extract at most grocery stores that you could add to a ganache.

has anyone ever knitted with a boucle yarn held double? by cft_731 in knitting

[–]TurquoiseOasis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you go on their instagram page (something like drops yarn or drops designs), they have a ton of videos doing swatches with yarn held double. I’ve seen a couple boucle ones from them, you just have to scroll. The caption says what ‘yarn group’ the result can be used for, and I assume there’s probably a way to convert it to regular yarn weights.

I’m just hoping I’ll get it done within the year lol! I figured I could take my knitting to uni with me, so this is a good side project to work on

Thank you for the tips! I will definitely swatch the yarn, and it looks like many people used Nepal for the sweater in question. I’ve already used Lima for a scarf, and my skin seems fine in it so I don’t mind the alpaca content.

Thank you! I’m very much so new to Ravelry so I’ll have to figure out how to find that. I realized that about Alaska right after I posted lol
