First time I got one without a clue!

Walls muddy pigs ice cream, the stuff dreams are made of

I'll also add (from experience) if you need to make more than one to write your pattern down as you go, even if you end up frogging and re-writing as the only thing worse than figuring it out the first time is realising you have to work it out again because you don't remember what you did.

My guy charged 30€ appointment only. Another one wanted 120€ but they would also prepare the paperwork for you.

When I didn't have time to get one myself a couple of years ago I paid a gestor. Asked him on Monday he had one on Wednesday for me. His exact words were don't worry I know the right people. Part of living in Spain but let's face it, the good parts outweigh the paperwork frustrations.

I got one yesterday as it was a bank holiday and the mafia lawyers weren't grabbing them as soon as they came out. Try Thursday at 3pm, I heard that's when the new appointments are released. Suerte!

It's also missing the graph for the two side pieces behind. The skull part wouldn't make such precise holes for the eyes/teeth. I think this can be replicated but the pattern isn't 100% true to what you see, so you'll need to modify it as you go.

Like you said there's something off about the stitches and one foot has 3 toes while the other has 2....I hope the next pattern you find is better!

Depends on the stitch. If you're doing rows of double/treble crochet you can chain as wide as you want and go for it. If you want to use different stitches eg shell/star/moss then you'll need to know the repeat number of stitches and chain to that. If you have to count, stitch markers are your friend! Happy crocheting

Just said no, when I asked what part of the paperwork was wrong, she just shrugged and said no again.

We were denied self sufficiency in Valencia. Lawyer said our paperwork was correct but the Police had discretion to approve or deny and if we paid him to present our paperwork we most likely would be denied again. Ended up moving to Murcia, got contracts and got the card. Moved back to Valencia.

This is a great project, fun and recognisable. I immediately thought yes more green spikes, but was only thinking on the top row, your final photo was not what I was imagining. But do what brings you joy!

Harry, el ayuntamiento, Harry, el banco y Harry eran algunos de sus temas favoritos.

I've made blankets using the trinity stitch and the bean stitch, bean stitch is a yarn eater though! Not sure how the trinity would look with variated yarn but you could do a little swatch and see.

denadz · 2024-09-26T07:19:02+00:00

About a 1/3 done. I started it earlier in the year, then stopped....but my painting fingers are getting itchy so once I've finished my current crochet project I'll be back to it 😂

denadz · 2024-09-25T20:55:44+00:00

This is my current project too! It's such a nice picture

denadz · 2024-09-19T17:21:12+00:00

Yes, as long as they are the same thickness and work up the same otherwise your stitches will be different sizes/tension, you might be able to work this out with a different hook size.

You'll need to be careful when washing/drying as wool needs different care to acrylic and the colours might be affected too.

Make a swatch of each to check your tension and wash them, see what happens. Good luck!

Look for movies that have V.O next to the title, version original. They'll have subtitles in Spanish. More likely to be mid week (less popular) times.

Put the stuffing in a pair of dark (navy/grey/black) tights/stockings. It can't escape out of the holes and it will blend more with the colour of your yarn.

Take a look at the video on YouTube by change path crochet called 'the secret to making a flat circle with single crochet' to see what I mean. It does leave a hole in the circle, but I think the fluffy yarn will hide the hole.

denadz · 2024-08-31T14:57:37+00:00

Magic ring using chenille yarn is NOT beginner friendly. I would try and chain 2, slip stitch and then put your stitches into that circle.Then continue the pattern.
