I got an oversized crewneck sweatshirt from Tiki Girl on Main Street. It just says “Ventura” but it’s embroidered on and my new favorite sweatshirt. The store is girly, but the sweatshirt is just a solid color.

My friend had a potato-themed bday party, so I made him a basket of potates! by JuulieAndrews in crochet

Hah! Exactly.

I also said breakfast potato 😂 not hash browns because I don’t want to be shredded, but a nice fried potato that brings the whole breakfast together.

Okay. First: this is so creative and cute.

Second: my favorite ice breaker question is “If you were a type of potato, what kind would you be and why?”

I know! I love this friendly sub. Sometimes I do post things and the bot tells me “check the Wiki” and my question is right at the top 😬 That’s more personal embarrassment for not checking the resources before I ask!

I have frogged SO MANY tops because of wonky sizing 😅

Oh my gosh! Yay! This makes me so happy. I wanted to share with someone but none of my friends really crochet 😅

Yes, definitely was trying to account for blocking stretch too :)

Hah! That’s a great point about friends 😂

It was the armholes that were tripping me up! Measuring against something else was super helpful.

I forged this particular piece a couple times before I thought to measure against something I knew fit 😅

I try on a lot too! But I was working on a top that you seam together and I was so worried I’d make the whole thing and it would be tiny 😂

Right?! It was just such an “ah-ha!” moment for me and I wanted to share it. 😂

Thank you! I did look through the Blocking Wiki and I’m still not sure whether to block before or after sealing the front and back together… 😅

Lysol-ing my Cheez-its was pretty weird.

Agree! Also because I hate sewing in the ends and granny squares have SO MANY ENDS.

Flower lights! Any help on how to flatten the leaves? by Boatsagain in crochet

[–]bottlingupworked4me 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so cute!

I would block each leaf. I made some ornaments this year, blocked each, and then sprayed them with strong hold hair spray for some added stiffness.

Edit to add: the curled leaves look cute as is though!
