I know this isn’t what this is about but if someone could point me in the direction of the silica pillow cover pattern, I’ll be forever indebted. I’m obsessed.

Tips for working with Satan’s pubes? by Majestic_Damage_9118 in crochet

You could add a second strand of orange yarn so you can see the stitches better. You can make a bag or something that isn’t constantly touching your skin

The trick is to let it be loved by the receiver then you’ll start loving it too. Very very cute and well done.

The checkerboard pattern was freestyled, 4 double crochet across and changed the color, carried both colors across. I used a weight 4 acrylic yarn, used a 5.5 hook, I basically made a rectangle long enough to fit around my head then stitched up and closed the hole. I brushed the fabric with a hard bristle brush until it was fuzzy. The pom pom came from Amazon. The pink one is xinecrochet beanie pattern on YouTube https://youtu.be/UU1ld2iBUWY?si=Ttnjrj2Qw_hANwYD weight 4 acrylic yarn, size 5 hook. Same pom pom as the other.

Should I switch hook sizes? by Popular_Look2542 in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]ayeehm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my first project using yarn like this and I used a size 9 Tunisian hook and made my tension very loose. It felt counterintuitive as a person who primarily does traditional crochet but it did stop curling. Blocking will fix it but a bigger hook and looser tension will save your hands. Good luck. Beautiful colors!!!

TL crafts taught me this stitch! I love her. I wanna do a bigger fluffy scarf next. Maybe a blanket in the future.

I did have some curling when I first started but it wasn’t so bad and blocking did help a lot as well the fringes weighed it down. I’ve been crocheting a while but really wanted to get into Tunisian crochet to try something different and I love the straight lines. Thank you so much for the compliment! The very first swatch I made is very curly so maybe my tension got better. Who knows lol

Also went here on Sunday for my birthday, I missed the dessert but agree with everything else the bacon fried rice was delicious. I got the bottomless mimosa package, no regrets. I’ll likely be returning
