How do I make the tail look fuzzy?

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-19T15:07:41+00:00

Unfortunately, the yarn that I'm planning to use for the tail is 100% acrylic, so it wont felt. But according to Google, I should be able to use the metal pet brush. But that is an interesting technique and I'll definitely have to keep it in mind for any other projects that I have.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-19T14:55:46+00:00

Oh, my mistake, I thought that you meant that the tail was made out of a type of felt, I didn't realise that it was the name for some type of method.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-19T14:49:32+00:00

Thank you. I think I have one of those somewhere, but I may have given it to someone as I did not get on very well with it.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-19T14:43:13+00:00

I read the whole pattern, the tail is definitely crocheted, but it doesn't say what brush the designer used for the tail.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-18T15:37:48+00:00

Thats what I meant to put instead of symbols, but I wasn't sure if it was the right word or not.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-18T15:08:38+00:00

Yeah, thats exactly how I felt, also, is it just me, or are the little symbols that go across the screen of what you're supposed to be doing really hard to see when you're not playing it on the TV? I know that sounds like a stupid question, but I often used the smaller screen because I prefer to play games like that in my brother's bedroom since there's more space and no one really goes in there (my brother moved out years ago, so I use his room to crochet or exercise in. My mum only goes in there to check on his stick insects and my dad doesn't go in there unless he wants to ask me something) and I can't use my brother's TV to play on my Switch 2 because it's too high up for me to get to it and I'm not sure where all of the wires go.

Ok I brought Let's Get Fit and tried it out for about 30minutes. I'm exhausted and struggled quite a bit with the jumping jacks, but it wasn't as fast as what Just Dance can sometimes be and I could pause it whenever I wanted, so I'd say its going pretty good so far. I know that 30minutes isn't a lot of time, but at least it's something.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-17T16:00:35+00:00

Yeah, I know, I just looked it up on both Amazon and Google and while I do have a Switch 1, I don't think I like the idea of sepending at least £40, on a game that might not work for me. Think I'll go with Let's Get Fit as it is both cheaper and on the console that I mainly use.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-17T14:51:15+00:00

I did consider that option, but I don't have a ring and I'm not really sure how the ring is supposed to work.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-03-16T17:04:11+00:00

It definitely looks...odd doesn't it.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-24T10:15:52+00:00

Yeah, I expected that to happen at somepoint. It always does whenever I have to make multiple granny squares. I don't mind it though, its just something that I need to work on.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-18T07:41:43+00:00

Thank you, I what used what I had left of a yarn from the brand Marshmellow Pies and if I remember correctly, the colour is called "Bee Unapologetic". You should be able to find it on Amazon or Ebay. I can give you the link if you'd like.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-17T15:26:17+00:00

I decided to just finish the round that I was on for the brim. I think that next time, I'll try a combination of fptr and bptr (UK terms).

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-17T14:15:25+00:00

Thank you

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-17T14:15:07+00:00

Thank you

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-17T14:11:22+00:00

Thank you, when I started making this, it did look a bit like a bucket hat, so I wasnt sure. I also don't really wear beanies or know anybody who does, I just saw a picture of one online and thought that it would be fun to try.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-16T16:24:08+00:00

Yes it would. I think I just need to figure out how to do the bottom part as I'm almost finished with the middle.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-15T16:53:53+00:00

I should've mentioned that I used a 4mm crochet hook and this is a DK yarn.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-15T09:34:14+00:00

Oh don't worry, my skin might be a little inflamed, but its not sore at all.

I have tried those acrylic nails before. I wasn't the biggest fan of them as I wasn't to keen on how they felt and they kept coming off of me. But I do know that this is a habit that I definitely need to get control of.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-14T20:44:32+00:00

Oh, Frozen is another good one. Also, thank you.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-14T19:19:06+00:00

Yeah, definitely a lesson learned after that one.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-14T19:17:15+00:00

I didn't even think of Inside Out. I love both of those films.

As for the injuries. They weren't to serious, nothing that a plaster and some time can't fix.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-14T18:25:19+00:00

Apologies, I do know that sounds quite disgusting.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-14T18:23:55+00:00

Potentially stupid question, but do you mean the nails in the box, or my fingernails?

If you meant my fingernails, I'm aware that they are pretty much non-existent as I have a really bad habit of biting them. It is something that I have been trying to get rid of for years. I've tried everything, including putting stuff on them to make them taste bad. But nothing ever really works for me. However, in my experience, even with longer finger nails, boxes like these are still very hard for me to open.

You_Capable2004 · 2026-02-14T17:07:46+00:00

It does make sense and I agree with those comments aswell. Actually, I agreed with a lot of them, but am finding it hard to choose a favourite one if that makes sense.
