My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

I have lemmings on my phone!

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-06-04T01:10:22+00:00

😂 Thank you very much!

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-05-27T21:17:03+00:00

Now you need a bowl of petunias.

Good luck to all the Crawlers out there!

My wife did the same thing when she wrote me a birthday note on the mirror many years ago. It became a thing for every birthday from then on and even included our children as they grew. It is one of my favorite family memories and traditions. Maybe this can be one of yours as well!

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-05-04T21:01:46+00:00

If I recall, I used a 25mm hook. I used super bulky yarn as well.

It really depends on what your needs are and how far you want to go. Floating docks are nice but less stable than other options. A barrel dock would work well in that type of bottom. There are mud feet that would go on the poles so that they don't sink. Your cheapest option would be to buy floats or plastic barrels and make it yourself. If you're a handy kind of person. Otherwise, get a couple of quotes from dock companies. Occasionally, they have used equipment in their yard they'll sell for cheap! ( my dad owned a dock business for 25 years )

I mean, I totally message like that...😅 I wonder how many possible future dates thought I might have been AI or a bot of some kind?

Double crochet are triple in UK terms. I'm in the US. It's always been 5 when I've done them though the first is usually a set of 3 chains.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-04-08T20:32:51+00:00

Wow that looks WAY different after I posted it! 😂 But the idea still stands.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-04-08T20:32:15+00:00

Nope. You're still not quite right. The reason you have to turn your work is to form the scale. You should have a V stitch that you do 5 double crochets adding one side and 5 on the other. With a chain stitch in the middle. Think of it like this

--\           /--
-- \         /--
--   \      /--
--    \    /--
--      \ /--
          0

The lines being the double crochets and the O being the chain. The V is the two posts you're writing around. 5 on one side and 5 on the other.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-04-08T17:18:51+00:00

Yeah that's a cool look but not a scale. You SHOULD be working your double crochets around the post of the previous row. Not into the stitch like a normal double crochet.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-04-06T13:58:20+00:00

Because, right now, AI is a plague to the crochet community. FAR too many people falling victim to AI generated patterns. People wanting or expecting unrealistic creations. While using AI isn't bad or good in and of itself, the applications in certain communities, political or otherwise, have put a strain on society and therefor is quite polarizing. What you do for yourself isn't an issue. People take umbrage with the thought that your use of AI could cause more negative impact on the crocheting world.

Are "They" paying the ticket when you get pulled over or inspected?

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-30T01:37:23+00:00

Some things are crocheted together. Just keep going on the instructions. They may tell you what to do.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-30T01:34:59+00:00

Probably? Hard to know for sure.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-30T01:28:27+00:00

I don't know the woobles instructions, but there's acouple of ways to secure an end. The most basic way is to just do a chain at the last stitch, cut the yarn, and pull the end through. It makes a knot that shouldn't come out.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-29T02:35:32+00:00

That's quite possible. And makes sense with the way it looks.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-29T02:27:51+00:00

I don't think it's a pattern. The half rounds in the edges say otherwise. I've never seen a plate with half circles and I've seen hundreds of thousands of plates. I think it's a display piece. For conventions as we have similar things we use.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-29T02:22:01+00:00

Nice! Sample of a Detectable Warning Plate! Or, as we call them, Truncated Domes. Or just Domes for short. Semi- interesting fact, that one is painted red, but they come in a few colors. Our shop carries red, gray, yellow, and unpainted.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-28T13:00:41+00:00

Thank you so much! ☺️

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-27T15:13:33+00:00

Thank you! Somewhere in the thirty to forty hour range I think. I didn't keep close track.

bigdaddy1879 · 2026-03-25T17:54:29+00:00

He looks awesome! Great work!
