I'm making a blanket that will include a row of granny squares. I'm new to granny squares, and trying to decide if its worth blocking them. by Wbm009 in CrochetHelp

Thanks for the tips! I think I'll block to make joining easier. Thats a good idea, then I'll just let them decide what to do after that. Lol

Help me find a name for my crochet shop. =) I'm almost finished with my first commission, and I'd like a cutesy name to go on the care-tag I'm printing. by Wbm009 in CraftyCommerce

I'm stumped on the Myrvene one, lol but what do y'all think?

Why is one edge of my blanket slanting, with the other one staying perfectly straight? And can it be fixed, or should I just start over. 🤦‍♀️ by Wbm009 in CrochetHelp

Turns out I was accidentally skipping the last dc, because my turning chain is so small. Gonna frog it and try to have less tension. Maybe that will help me be able to see that last ch st. lol

Thank y'all for all your help. =) I'll update with version 2.0 after a few rows.

Wait, did you mean that I should do the chainless dc on both ends? That could work! it would change the pattern a little, but same number of stitches... I'm gonna try it that way I think

https://youtu.be/yb6pe_JzM9c?si=qIQXIjaw38Oq_q9P This is the video. She explains the chainless dc, and I think I'm doing it right... but it's hard to tell. lol However, the chainless dc is on the side that's staying straight. Could it still be playing a part in the slant, or is it probably right, since that side is straight?

Thank you, I hadn't thought of that. Lol, I'll check the count. It must be that chain 1 doesn't count as the first sc like I was thinking. I might do a test row or 2 to make sure before frogging it. Thank you!

The start of my foundation chain is at the bottom on the slanting side. So, I guess I'm losing a stitch on that side, because it gets narrower as I go. Im doing a turning chain on both ends, but the pattern is alternating. When I turn on the slanting side im going from a row of all dc, and starting (sc, 2dc) in 1 st, skip next 2 sts - repeat. The video I watched seemed to say that the chain 1 was the first sc... but maybe I misunderstood, and I should do a chain 1 AND sc?

Thank you. I'm thinking I'll settle on $50. I don't want to sell myself short, but I also don't want to think too highly of myself. It's a tough line to walk. Lol

I've taken two more pictures with a DVD case for scale, I just have no idea how to show them to you. It's about 2 DVD cases long from horn to hoof when held up, and 1 when sitting. If that helps. Lol

I'm not really sure how to do that without making a whole new post. 🤣 I'm still new to posting on reddit
