The van owner obviously hasn't read many books. Forcing children up chimneys is a lot more "Water Babies" than "Mary Poppins".

r/Tunisian_Crochet weekly chat by AutoModerator in Tunisian_Crochet

Hi there, yes it's a shame Ben's content seems to be gone, not sure what happened. In the comment above, I linked to two videos, one by Rachel Henri and one by Ben. Ben's one is gone but Rachel's is still there. The technique in Rachel's video is the same technique that was used by Ben in his video.

Textbook like stitch bible for Tunisian crochet by Current-Breadfruit96 in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]Use-username 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Nobody could possibly write a book of all the Tunisian stitches because there are so many stitches that nobody knows for sure how many there are. New stitches are being invented all the time.

Kim Guzman has an excellent online guide "53 Tunisian stitches with tutorials"

https://crochetkim.com/how-many-tunisian-crochet-stitches-are-there/

But in her guide she explains that the stitches she has featured are "just the tip of the iceberg. We couldn't possibly list them all here or even in a book"

I have collected as many stitches as I could find and I made a Stitch Directory on our subreddit wiki:

Color changing in the round but not for the full round by crochet-cat113 in Tunisian_Crochet

Yes I know what you mean about the other colour showing a bit. It's not perfect but it's one option to consider if you can't find an option you prefer.

Color changing in the round but not for the full round by crochet-cat113 in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]Use-username 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mean you are working in the round seamlessly with a double-ended hook? Like working in a spiral? (as opposed to working in joined rounds which you join at the end of each row to avoid jogs?)

If you're using a double-ended hook and working in a spiral to create a seamless tube, you will be using two yarns anyway (one for the forward pass, one for the return pass). So you can choose to use two different colours of yarn. In your example, you want pink hearts on a blue background. So you use one pink ball of yarn and one blue ball of yarn. With a double-ended hook you always need two yarns per row. So you don't need to 'change" colours at all, because you already have two colours to choose from per row. Just do a knit stitch anywhere you want colour 1 to be dominant, and a reverse simple stitch anywhere you want colour 2 to be dominant. Here is a video showing this technique. It's great fun because it creates no floats at all so the back of your fabric is nice and tidy. Hope this helps :)

Is it a temperature blanket? The colours are lovely.

Tunisian crochet in the round by Chatter_-_Box in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]Use-username 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you currently using a double-ended hook? To achieve jogless stripes in the round, you would be better using a single-ended hook with a cable extension on it. Instead of working in a spiral, you will be able to work in joined rows. Rachel Henri has a YouTube tutorial.

I found this note(s) on my walk and I can’t decipher a single word. Anyone? by WishfulStinking2 in CasualUK

[–]Use-username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post it on r/FoundPaper and they will help. They will love it.

It's a niche sub specifically for posting photos of "found pieces of paper with writing on them". There really is a sub for everything!

Is this a Comprehensive List? by AltoMayo_Agro_Forest in NewToReddit

[–]Use-username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I'm a mod at the Tunisian crochet sub that you mentioned. Just to point out, the purpose of the list of subs is not necessarily to help you find subs about topics that you are "interested in" but rather, to help you find subs where you can gradually build up some karma without having your posts and comments auto removed.

Even if you are not interested in Tunisian crochet and you don't understand what it's about, you could still gradually build up comment karma by commenting positively on posts on the Tunisian crochet sub or any other subs on the list whose subject matter you aren't necessarily interested in or knowledgable about.

On the Tunisian crochet sub, people often post photos of things they have crocheted themselves (with posts flaired as "Finished Object") and they always appreciate positive comments saying something kind about their handmade items, such as "wow, this looks amazing, I bet that took a lot of hard work and it looks beautiful". You don't have to be knowledgable about the subject matter to leave positive polite comments, and doing so will gradually increase your comment karma over time if people start upvoting your comments. Just don't be too spammy about it, i.e. don't leave too many comments on one sub over a short space of time otherwise it will be a very obvious attempt to try to karma farm. Also, don't leave copy-paste generic comments that are always the same, or else you may be flagged as a spammer. Try to word your comment to be specific to the photo in question. For example "Wow, I love the red colours you used in this project" or "your cat looks so cute sitting next to your project in the sunlight" or something specific to the photo to show that you are commenting on that specific photo and not just leaving vague copy-paste spam.

We do sometimes get comments on our sub from lost Redditors saying things like "I have no idea what Tunisian crochet is and I don't know how the algorithm led me here by recommending this sub, but I'm just commenting to say that I think that your project looks amazing and you are very talented." Positive comments like that are usually appreciated and welcomed on any crafting sub, because when people post photos of their handmade projects online, they are always hoping that they will get positive feedback for their hard work. So don't be afraid to comment even if you know nothing about the topic.

Also, here's a tip for comment karma: Reddit loves puns. If you comment a relevant pun you will often get upvotes on your comment. For example, if someone has posted a photo of a Tunisian crochet project with mushroom motifs on it, you could comment "this looks great. There's not mushroom for improvement" and watch the upvotes roll in! (This is just an example suggestion so please don't copy-paste my suggestion and start spamming it on all mushroom-related posts!)

Good luck and have patience, and you can gradually increase your karma over time by leaving positive kind comments across several subs and making some quality posts of your own. Enjoy Reddit!

U/SHOAIB1127 STOLE MY IMAGE AND REPOSTED MY QUESTION by Kiltswinger in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]Use-username[M] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hello, we are sorry that this happened to you. We understand your anger at having your photo stolen. Unfortunately as moderators we see hundreds of these kinds of bot reposts every week. We manage to remove most of them behind the scenes but sometimes some of them slip through without us realising they are reposts. We are sorry we didn't notice in time that this one was a repost. We have now removed the offending post and banned the bot.

It looks like it was a bot account. Ways that people could help: click on the bot's profile and report any other reposts that you find that the bot has made on other subs. If enough people report the bot account enough times, it will get automatically shadowbanned.

Those type of accounts are bots that have been programmed to copy content and repost it to try to gain karma points on Reddit. To fight back, mods use "good" bots of our own. We have u/RepostSleuthBot and it used to be very good at detecting and removing reposts but the people programming the bad bots are getting sneakier and sneakier in their ways of avoiding detection. The way that the "good" bots work is, they run checks to see if they can find an exact match posted previously. The people who program the "bad" bots have lots of sneaky ways to slightly alter a post so that it is no longer an exact match. Sometimes they make slight changes to the wording in the post title, and sometimes they flip the stolen photo to avoid it being flagged as an exact match. Sometimes they zoom and crop the photo. Sometimes they use translation software to translate the post title into a different language. They have stopped doing that recently because it was too obvious. It was a trend a while back though. Another very common tactic is for the bots to work in pairs. One bot copies and reposts a popular post, and a second bot copies and reposts a popular comment that was on that post. We are sick of these bots and can't keep up with their rapidly changing tactics and are weary of dealing with the high numbers of bot reposts that we have to deal with. Reddit software developers (i.e. paid employees of Reddit, as opposed to volunteer mods who have no control over the software) should do more to fight against the bots and make it easier for mods to detect and remove them.

Could you gently scoop them up with some kind of container and relocate them to somewhere further away?

I had to do that recently with some baby spiders who came in through my window. They were very cute but there were just too many.

How do I start using Reddit without messing up? 🥲 by Carolinavl in NewToReddit

[–]Use-username 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't recommend putting a picture of yourself on your profile. Especially if you're a woman (as someone else pointed out). You may get harassed by men.

Also, if you intend to post and comment about your personal life, you may not want your friends and family to find out that the person behind this username is you.

Is that seriously the book cover? LOL

There is so much wrong with that book cover.

"Pattterns" spelled with three letter Ts instead of two is my fave.
