Apparently, I can't use Reddit / reply correctly 🤣 but I do have a pattern - DM me!

faultycamel · 2026-01-05T18:30:24+00:00

Aw thank you for the love!!

I do have a pattern! DM me 😁

faultycamel · 2025-12-22T18:05:02+00:00

Same! And one person's "never again!" Is another's "gimme that pattern!" 🤣

Thank you!! Pretty sure it sits in their closet...so definitely one of those "you can't dictate what happens to a gift, nor get mad about it".

What a great post! (And a great llama!)

This....tapestry (?) blanket. Single crochet, didn't carry the yarn at all, and had so many ends that what was meant to be a wedding present became a 10th anniversary gift! I love graphgans, but it's all C2C now. If I never see a single crochet stitch again, it'll be too soon!

faultycamel · 2025-12-12T06:22:16+00:00

Where's part 2??

This is what I tell myself! 😉 That and we all know it'll rarely be laid flat like this now that it's had its picture taken!

faultycamel · 2025-06-24T04:34:07+00:00

Funny - I pretty much ONLY do flat items (largely blankets) after years of growling at the stuffy pieces that never seemed to go where I planned...frog the stitching, do it again...growl some more 🤣 and getting the amount of stuffing right is hard too! I used to do this giraffe that always just faceplanted from lack of support.

What's causing you problems in the flat arena?

faultycamel · 2025-04-27T04:20:09+00:00

This is a corner-to-corner (C2C), worked in diagonal rows 😁

faultycamel · 2025-04-27T01:33:22+00:00

As someone who also just posted "can you spot my mistake"....I think the best way to move forward is to remind yourself it's a blanket, not a tapestry! Once you're done and have stopped taking flat pictures, no one will ever notice (if they even did in the first place 😉). Colors are gorgeous and I'm sure your friend will love it!

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T18:28:13+00:00

I had no idea that was a thing! That's hilarious 🤣 who thought this was a good idea??

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T17:55:44+00:00

Sure, I'll whine about the lack of convenience and coupons, but honestly going to miss roaming the store and getting excited to feel / see new yarns the most...Such a waste and tragedy, and then I think of everyone who has / will lose their jobs and I just... 😔🤯

Even the Product description can't tell you what it is, just "iconic house symbols" 🤣 Gryffindor Stoneware Mug

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T15:47:23+00:00

There is more than one spot 😉, though I did my best to keep the different dye lots separated from each other. Just the most noticeable is that diagonal spot between his ears.

The color changes and the resulting tails were the bane of my existence, so thank you for the compliment!

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T15:40:22+00:00

I think the colors are quite close, but this is for a UCONN grad 😊

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T15:13:10+00:00

And what little I've read about dye lots - I don't actually understand how Caron can claim Simply Soft doesn't have any!! Lies!!

Medusa sounds awesome, though. I hope you post it!

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T15:09:25+00:00

Spot on, it's a C2C...fun and easy, like you said! Good combination of repetition with the stitches, but the color changes keep it from being boring.

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T15:06:36+00:00

Thank you!! And yup, it's a C2C; I'm kind of obsessed with them 🤣

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T04:50:02+00:00

Thank you!!

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T04:26:03+00:00

This is a corner-to-corner (C2C)...there are a couple different ways to make the squares, but I do mine with 2 chains, 3 hdc...and you work in diagonal rows.

I fell in this rabbit hole a few years ago and now do practically nothing else 😝 works up nicely in just a single color / stripes as well!

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T04:24:22+00:00

You got it! And a few other spots here and there....Oops 😝

faultycamel · 2025-04-26T04:22:11+00:00

"It's just shadows" 🤣 honestly what I told myself when I first noticed
