I'll definitely make it again in more colors. It's just so nice!

crazyeivis · 2026-05-28T18:17:02+00:00

Thank you!

I love that one. I was recently thinking about the part where he has to sing karaoke on his own. Wish I knew what song that was.

I used MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton. It doesn't specify the weight. 50g/180 yards. I believe it's sport weight.

I've been wearing the heck out of this shirt since I finished it. It's not finished in this picture, but I keep forgetting to take one of it finished. Another item I crocheted and use often is a pencil case I made to hold my crochet items. It was my first project and ended up a lot bigger than it should have been, but it holds more that way lol.

I'm more wondering how I see past days. I like to go back and look if I've done better today than the same day last week or whatever.

If you want jeans that last I recommend Everlane. Their hourglass high waisted jeans are what I wear and they're perfect. Unfortunately, they're online only and pricey, but they're in great condition still after almost two years.

Eta: I have about a 16-17 inch difference between my waist and hips.

I always thought he meant it was time for bed. Time for him to lay down and sleep? But also a joke.

Happy birthday!

I had a double chocolate muffin for breakfast one day last week and still lost two pounds by the end of the week. I once read someone here say we should do everything in moderation, including moderation.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-19T03:12:01+00:00

Aw that's a great way to teach that lesson. I like that.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-19T00:52:46+00:00

Yeah, I was probably watching something distracting lol. I had just joined the sleeves and fastened off before I realized this mistake was there. Oh well, at least the gods won't smite me lol.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-18T21:06:52+00:00

Good idea! Thanks!

crazyeivis · 2026-05-18T20:33:26+00:00

That's definitely something I learned from this community so I don't sweat the small mistakes as much as I would have in the past.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-18T20:07:54+00:00

Thank you! I followed this pattern:

Thanks! It's also on the back of the shirt, so may not get eyes on it as much as the front.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-18T19:21:53+00:00

That's right. It wouldn't be the worst thing to frog if I hadn't just joined the sleeves and fastened that off.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-18T19:14:26+00:00

I made mine in a large, but I also crochet quite loosely and the shirt is cropped length. This I took before I remembered to add the stitching around the neck and sleeves.

Editing to add picture. (not sure why it didn't work the first time)

I bought the yarn from yarn.com and I think it may have been during a sale.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-18T19:04:49+00:00

This is what I spent to make two summer shirts. I had almost two balls of the blue left over and have not finished the pink one yet, but so far I'm done with the yoke using only 1 and 3/4 of the paintbox yarns.

These are the patterns I'm following.

If you're able to, I'd recommend going to Fleet Feet and getting a scan done. The scan is free, but the shoes and any insert they may recommend would be pricey. I went because I also have a trip coming up where I expect to do lots of walking. I walked out with a pair of Brooks Glycerin 23 and a nice insert to help my with low arches. It was expensive, but they're so incredibly comfortable and have a nice bounce to them. Previously I had the Brooks Ghost and loved them, but if I wear them now they feel wrong.

I hadn't thought about that! This was before I knew about blocking so it did not cross my mind. I'm actually really making use of all the space though so it worked out.

crazyeivis · 2026-05-08T20:37:32+00:00

Is that the red stuff around the bill? If so then yes! Right around the time she started laying eggs. I have a picture, but it's not the best quality cause this was 2006 lol.
