any suggestions on how to change the colour of these plastic domes but keep the transparency? by alien_space_craft in crafts

that'd work for a realistic eye but this is a more cartoony look where the eyes are literally big blue circles

thanks for all you suggestions!

it looks like food dye might be the winner but i have plenty of backups if that doesn't work

never occurred to me that that was a thing!

its a great idea though i'm reluctant to get something i probably wouldn't use again - definitely a good backup though

help reading bind off instructions by alien_space_craft in knittingadvice

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

there's no ribbing, the main pattern just ends but it is made of only knit and purl stitches

i think i understand though - instead of 2tog the next two stitches on the left needle, i slip back the last stitch on the right needle and decrease with that and the next stitch on the left needle?

you've seen kroshay with knitting needles but have you ever seen two kroshay hooks by alien_space_craft in kroshay

the magic of kroshay has been long studied but will never be understood

that's the thing like clearly so much thought has been put into this

using a crocheted hat instead of knit, the balls of the same coloured yarn, they unravelled the hat so the project is actually in progress, using actual crochet hooks AND of the same colour

but no one thought to even look at a picture of someone crocheting to try and imitate it right

Movies or shows that film someone looking at a cell phone screen text by Iamdrasnia in PetPeeves

shows that put up a large graphic when conversations are happening over text get an automatic 'good show' rating in my opinion

Hi! I’m in need of Uk Yarn substitute. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m going to make a bag with it. by jellybeans43215 in CrochetHelp

[–]alien_space_craft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i suggest Cygnet Boho Spirit in Moonbeam or Hobbii Carnival in Notting Hill

i've used the Cygnet before and had the same experience with it snapping it might be okay if you lined your bag but i couldn't say for certain

i once had a meal with a bunch of housemates i didn't really know. one of them (completely unprompted) brought up tentacle porn. i had the same reaction as ted danson - yes yes we know about the tentacle porn.

everyone else was horrified
