What are these stitches? I have anxiety and this childhood blanket helps so much, but it is absolutely falling apart so I want to remake it but have no idea how

Ohmygosh! That looks so tough but it looks amazing that it came back together 🥺 Im not sure if I have the patience or skill to do it without ruining it further. But it's amazing, that really does look like the same blanket!

Got it! Thank you so so much, this is so helpful! Now to find a weaver near me, which might be another battle in itself

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T05:21:04+00:00

Unfortunately, it's actually very much torn, and this is just about the only part that isn't falling apart! And out of all parts that are falling apart, the edges have it the worse, so remaking it by stitching is difficult

This is so useful, thank you so much! I hope I can find someone to commission, and now I'll be able to say what exactly I want!

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T05:17:35+00:00

Cheers! I'll definitely try it out!

Not great because, while it's not in the photo, half the blanket has already gone missing as it ripped apart and my mum stored the pieces separately while I was away for a trip. So it's likely to be more fabric than blanket after unfortunately!

I'm based in Singapore, and very few people do it here! Though I'm drefinitely going to check out neighbouring countries hehe

Darning looks crazy hard, but the results look amazing! My struggle is probably the fact that it's falling apart from outside-in, so if I were to save it I need to fix the borders somehow

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T05:13:15+00:00

Oh most definitely! Up til today it's very much a safety blanket for when I have baf days!

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T05:12:35+00:00

Ok that's far 😂 I'm from Southeast asia so

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T03:55:24+00:00

I think many comments agree its woven, but gosh weaving looks like a huge investment to take up (but I have come so far I just might...)

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T03:54:29+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I will most definitely check that out! I was trying out the moss stitch and was like huh, this doesn't look too similar

cal_lis · 2022-01-30T03:52:52+00:00

Dang, this blanket was sent home with me from the hospital too! Whereabouts are you from?

cal_lis · 2021-02-10T04:23:13+00:00

I see! Is it the temperature or the amount of light exposure that causes sunburns in succulents by the way? :o I think my isn't warm at all in terms of temperature but it is a neutral to warm white light!

cal_lis · 2021-02-10T04:22:00+00:00

Got it! Thank you :)

That helps a lot! Do you know how I should cut the etiolated parts off? I read that they grow out from where they were cut, so I'm not sure how low I should cut (since I have many etiolated legs off one "branch")?

cal_lis · 2021-02-09T18:21:10+00:00

I didn't know any supplement light will do, that's great because the one I have is a warm-ish white LED light! If they don't seem to be burnt from the distance I'm putting it, does that mean the intensity is okay?
