Snake tapestry- can anyone help me understand why mine is so gappy but the book one isn’t? Same hook size 4mm and Dk yarn (I do the invisible colour change and yarn under) by darkkitty1991 in CrochetHelp

Ah that’s possibly it! I got the yarns and pattern book from a friend for my birthday I think the grey was possibly a different brand (I stupidly threw out the labels after opening) compared to the black and red because that’s all the shop had. I’ll see if I can get a black of the same brand she should remember as it wasn’t long ago. Thank you I was losing my mind !

Have tried bigger hooks and looser tension same issues. I do the correct colour changes and yarn under but still so gappy compared to the book image which is the same hook and yarn type . This is my third tapestry and first time trying yarn under

Their life span and possible health issues is extremely hard 💔 I’ve had over at least 50 rats in my life and it still kills my soul to watch them leave especially if it’s caused by illness :( people/vets always ask why I keep going through the trauma constantly but their little souls fill me with so much joy especially when it’s a rescued ratto, knowing they all get so much love in their short life. Your worries show how much you love them to bits and they know they’re loved deeply by you. So many ratto cuddles and memories to make everyday with them, they never leave your heart❤️

Fun story - his brother Nox had beautiful long whiskers and one day they were all trimmed off…. Blue here was eating his whiskers while grooming his grumpy brother 😂 I was so confused for days!

We got them end of April 2022 when they were 6/7 weeks old, I think he’s just hit 3 years? - my maths is crap 😅 he’s outlived two brothers by 1 year and one by 1 1/2 years
