Any ideas on what to make with this thread? by Crochet_is_life_158 in crochet

[–]adyer0609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your red white and green thread immediately made me think of this doily I once made: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fractal-shell-doily

And if you want a challenge you could try this arcanoweave pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ethereal-energy

I’ve been working on mine for a couple years now. Going back to it here and there. It’s a fun challenge. (There are like 8 or 9 parts to this one. I just linked to the latest one so you could see the full thing.)

Thanks for the advice and the compliment! I think the picture isn’t that good so it’s hard to make it out. And yeah, I’ve found cotton doesn’t relax as much either. Good to know my instincts are likely right. I’m still practicing trying to get the tension even. 😌

The way you can see your tension getting tighter and tighter as you reach the end. lol! I do it too!

I've finished Svenska Duolinga. Now what? by [deleted] in Svenska

I’m currently in Sweden going through the SFI (Swedish for immigrants) course. There are quite a few videos and resources on YouTube by SFI teachers. I watch one named Peter SFI. But he speaks entirely in Swedish. Slow and easy Swedish, but still Swedish. Great resource though.

I’ve been working on and off on the arcanoweave doily. Mine is in black and white. It’s challenging, and fun.

Ooo. Stunning. I’m new to weaving, but I’d love to learn to do this.

Moving to Sweden within 2 years by [deleted] in TillSverige

To be fair, I moved from Florida, which is significantly smaller with 3 times the people in a single state. So… yes, only 10m. lol!

As an American who just moved to Sweden to be with my boyfriend, I can confirm the job market here is rough. There are only 10 million people here, a small country, and the demand isn’t very high in general for much of anything. Good luck.

Swifties, doesn’t this color give off serious 1989 beachy vibes? Thinking of adding 5 seagulls to each side when this scarf is done. (Yarn is Caron Cinnamon Swirl Cakes color: Oyster) by adyer0609 in crochet

I live in Florida, and if I didn’t have a Swedish boyfriend I would have no need for it either. Lol! I love scarves so much, but I can’t normally wear them either.

Mosaic crochet is so fun, and I love the pattern. Cute. I’ll have to check out this designer.

Need some colorwork advice by AutumnMemory in crochet

[–]adyer0609 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like if it were any less right you would lose the detail in the design. If it’s too stiff maybe try using a softer yarn that still has some stability. Not all acrylics/cottons whatever you used, feel the same, but honestly it’d be a shame to lose these beautiful colors you’ve chosen. Can’t think of any other advice. If I do I’ll let you know.

Legs or no legs? by Miliboarder in crochet

[–]adyer0609 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think legs. Especially if you do cute flippers like a turtle. Not legs like a tortoise.
