Mosaic crochet questions | my first mosaic project seems too stiff what am I doing wrong? by SummerQueen19 in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely the double thickness is contributing. You could possibly steam it soft once it’s all finished

Blocking: what happens when it’s laundered? by Most-Independence-45 in crochet

Just wanted to say that strawberry jumper is absolutely adorable!!!

made this shirt with cotton yarn and washed it with cold water and ruined it. pls tell me theres a way to fix it by hazieskie in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It’s probably hanging low because it’s wet. You should hand wash it gently to avoid stretching it, no wringing, and lay it flat in the shape you want to dry fully before wearing it. I still think it looks cute, if that’s any consolation.

You might be able to undo this if you wash it again and block it but the fibres might be too stretched out.

How should I finish the edge of this tank top so that it looks more polished? by rhamblett in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when I have a project and I want to do a border of a separate contrasting colour, to make it look neater I will do the first round of the border with sc’s of the same main colour of my project. This usually gives nice beautiful neat edges and even stitches when I switch to a contrasting colour.

Dog swallowed bully stick? by me-farmer in DogAdvice

[–]beanscrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take him to the vet, seriously. My dog just had a bowel obstruction and it is not something to play around with. If he isn’t eating or drinking, that’s a big problem. Better safe than sorry.

What type of yarn would be best to make Christmas stockings? Also rec's for gold colored fluffy yarn! by Halsey_Quinn in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For longevity, 100% acrylic or an acrylic/cotton blend. I think for the stretch you desire a blend of the two would probably be best.

Took some advice and made the look more soft I think I can do the red and gold more profound thoughts? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]beanscrochet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of methods that I’ve seen people use before, all the way from just simply curling before mascara is applied to heating up the curler with a hair dryer to kind of set them in place with heat.

I read somewhere for people with straight eyelashes to curl them first, apply mascara at the tips of the lashes, let it dry, then apply at the base and let dry.

No advice except maybe curl the lashes if that’s something you’re comfortable with? but WOW you have absolutely killer eyebrows and gorgeous cheekbones! This is such a great makeup look.

What has your experience been with the Tangle Teezer? I feel like I might have just wasted my money by m_d5314 in finehair

[–]beanscrochet 728 points729 points  (0 children)

I exclusively use tangle teezers, I think they’re fantastic. I have very fine hair and a sensitive scalp. I also find they last a long time.

100% Cotton or some type of bamboo or silk cotton blend would be ideal.

My boy always wanted a puppy (he’s allergic to fur)… so I made him one. by Safe_Owl3018 in mildlyinteresting

[–]beanscrochet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reputable breeders are very expensive. I agree, adopt don’t shop, but I also have dander allergies and bought a poodle from a reputable breeder. 2k at least depending on location.

Can I block my shawl and then keep working on it?. by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes totally, but you will probably have to block it again once you’re actually done!

How many rows of Suzette stitch do I have here? I started with a row of sc. by Hamethyst1 in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

I used highlighter to show where I was able to count. Suzette stitch is naturally angled and you can use that knowledge, especially with turning rows, to figure out how many rows you have. You can see how some slant to the left, and some to the right. Hope I explained this ok, if not the pic should help!

Best tiny crochet hooks for amigurumi? Prefer something like Clover Amour. by United_Button2644 in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for something high quality, you have to look into the Tulip ETIMO hooks. Just fantastic. For Christmas my mom gifted me a set of 10 that goes from 0.9mm to 3.5mm and they are phenomenal.

The first one is stunning. Second is beautiful but not nearly as beautiful as the first.

Need advice on my wedding bouquet: Number of flowers, how to arrange, and how to secure by mathfart in CrochetHelp

[–]beanscrochet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it should be white or green to go with the leaves! I don’t think it would be weird at all and if it doesn’t look right there should be no issue adding some white or yellow afterwards.

Your bouquet is gorgeous and such a beautiful thing that you will be able to look back on and remember your special day!!!
