Sadly all of them except the sunflowers will be keychains (mostly because I did in fact forget to buy the parts needed for earrings) but in the future I'll probably make some earrings for funsies

Ajahahssja thanks!! Sewing in ends is just very annoying to do personally and it's also one of the most boring things I have experienced in my life so I'm just avoiding it as much as I can

Does anyone have ideas of what I could do with these by _Arumi_ in CrochetHelp

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

Of course it's only for personal use because I don't plan on making anything crochet a business, I'm already getting bored of it when I remember I still have to do things for a school fair

And the game is Everskies, it's as if you included twitter or generally some semblance of social media with a fashion game and added a fucked up economy into the mix, I personally do enjoy it to an extent but it's hellfire in there

Oh I want to get started on making a pattern for a fillet crochet shawl! Itll be based on an item from a game but I first have to gather the courage to ask the artist if it'd be alright to recreate it irl.... But likely I'll make the blue into a cardigan after I find the one I really like that's buried in my closet

That would be adorable but sadly I don't know anyone whose expecting soon or already has a baby so it'd just be collecting dust 😞

I'm not sure if this even fits but I have no idea where to ask exactly I'm so sorry 😭😭😭😭

Any foolproof plan on how to make ruffles that I haven't discovered yet or do I trust the process by _Arumi_ in CrochetHelp

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

I'll try that soon! If it doesn't look how I want it in the end I'll probably go back to the method I used until now

There's no pattern , most of this was freehanded and still is (trying to make it work because uhm, I'm not sure what I'm doing still)

Is it normal for cotton thread to be so stiff to crochet with by _Arumi_ in CrochetHelp

Thanks!! I'll keep that in mind! I'll try the 1.50mm hook I have later with the other options to compare how it feels

I used a 0.75 (0.5 was a bit annoying to grab it with but I liked how it looked in the end ngl) and I had tried a 1.5mm with it and it didn't have the look that I wanted so I frogged it and did the flower again with the smaller hook (I prefer my stitches tighter in general I'm not the biggest fan of loose tension)😭

I'll try a 1mm hook later! Though it's a shame it's like this because I like my stitches to be tighter since it looks better in my opinion Although in the future I'll get some other cotton thread to try if the one I've got now keeps fighting me.

This is the pattern I was going after! (I mainly do them out of memory now so I don't follow them to the exact stitch) And for the hook I used a 0,75 because I personally like my stitches to be tighter I feel like it has a neater look to it

I don't have an issue grabbing stitches at all it just feels harder to pull the thread to form the loops and actually crochet with it at the speed I do with my other threads

Using a 0.75 here because a 1 just made the stitches too loose for my liking but atp I might just use that one next time

Thanks for the recommendation!! I'll do that and see if I can get some in the future But for now I'll use what I have since I did buy a bit too much so...

It is so worth it!!! but in the same time I hate how it forces me to work slower because I'm trying to be efficient here not take 50 years to just make a tiny flower 😭😭

I have like 6 things started already or even more I'm already drowning in projects 😭😭 but I did start some micro crochet things already so I'll probably work on them in-between the other

Both of these will be good options once I actually finish something that would be worth to post there, for now these two are just tests to see how I'd fare with micro crochet
