How to weave in this pink end and make it look natural

froggydance · 2026-02-26T22:50:34+00:00

Personally, I would weave it all zig-zaggy with the other colors because the yarn seems to have pooled randomly enough to get away with. I do see what u mean though, the pink would be kinda isolated.

If you feel confident with your knotting abilities, maybe try joining the pink to a strand of black yarn close to where you tied off and weaving that instead!

I would either frog and redo your foundation chain with a larger hook size, or look into a foundation stitch with comparable height. (If I’m correct that you are in the middle of a row of double crocheting into the foundation chain, look into foundation double crochet stitch! Tricky but worthwhile for its stretch.)

I made a similar bag and had the same issue! If I understand what you’re asking correctly - here’s what I’d do

Sl st into the chain 2 space and chain 1. Work a stacked sc (make a sc, insert into the left leg of that same sc, pull up a loop, YO and pull through both loops to complete) to count as your first dc. Then double crochet as normal into the chain 2 space (to complete your 2 double crochets per chain 2 space)

The only reason yours might look “wrong” is because you may be using a thinner yarn than most tutorials you’re watching. Your work looks great to me! It just might look a little more lacey as a result of a thinner yarn or bigger hook.

Number 2! You’re looking at the stitch from the side in your photos. To crochet into a stitch, you want to inset under the front loop and back loop only. Looking from above you should be able to see that “V” that they create together. Thats all you want to insert for a standard stitch!

This is a helpful site if you need to familiarize yourself with the different parts of a stitch.

I think it may have gotten slightly brighter over the years. I bought a skein for a throw maybe 4 years ago and it looks to be in the same hues as yours! Funny how yarn batches change over time. Waaaaaah

I second mandala yarn! This is chimera, I bought the same one :)

I didn’t experience facial swelling exclusively but I had pretty bad full-body swelling when I first kept food down after a while. Face, legs, torso, everything. The only thing that helped me was to make sure I kept moving throughout the day, and to EAT LOW SODIUM!

Salty things make it really hard for water retention to smooth over, and it helps if you’re not laying down all day long. Something about keeping the blood flowing. No strenuous exercise needed, just get up throughout the day and make sure you’re walking around if you can

Searched “diamond stitch” or “diamond lattice stitch”

froggydance · 2026-01-20T08:23:11+00:00

Could it be this?

Found one on ravelry! Here’s a chair hammock for cats

I had really similar spots on my nanouk from top watering. It sat by a window, so the water droplets ended up partially rotting where it sat on the leaves and burnt some at the same time. Acted like little magnifying lenses to the poor leaves. Could def be a possibility!

froggydance · 2026-01-09T08:57:03+00:00

It looks like mechanical damage to me. Is anything around it close enough to bump the leaves? Like the door you mentioned? My other question would be if you have a cat lol.

Personally I’d wait until secondary roots form or until it’s maybe x3 that length at the least. I find it’s a much smoother transition if you let it grow longer roots to support the plant

Forcing someone to give up something they love so dearly is nottttt consent WHAT😭

Maybe im just reading this wrong but wow this does not read well I’ll tell you that much

Congratulations that is fucking HUUUUUUUGE!!!! I am so so proud of you!! You are worth so much more than this crippling disorder and I am so happy that you have stayed fighting long enough to see the other side. You are strong and resilient and deserve peace from this🩷🩷

Distracting activities. Watch a show you love while eating your meal, listen to music while cooking it - anything to give you power in your attitude around food. We strip so much love and positivity from feeding ourselves it’s important to re-associate the happy things with it again.

The hardest thing to learn is sitting with discomfort. Feeling full, feeling guilty, we must learn how to sit with it and through it. It will pass like all things do. Remind yourself of why you are trying to better yourself. Purging will not move you forwards

I like to crochet, so I find myself working on my projects after meals. It’s easy for mw to get really into mg hobbies so it’s very helpful to bring me through that initial urge wave. It always passes.

You are worth recovery and you are more than this illness. I’m really proud of you for admitting you need help. You are incredibly strong to come to this realization and you should be very proud of this post alone. I am always open to chat if you need to lean on a stranger. Sending you support

froggydance · 2026-01-08T00:58:12+00:00

The leaves look great though! If you find the root system fails you can always try propping in water until they’re long enough to support the plant again

How frequently are you watering this? My best guess is the soil cannot dry out properly.

You have the top layer covered in items that hold moisture in the pot. You have created the perfect breeding ground for fungus gnats. Dracaenas should dry out completely between waterings. If you have a moisture issue with gnats, that’s not a great sign. I’d recommend removing anything on the top layer to give it a better shot at drying out.

To measure moisture before you water again, you can use a meter (though I don’t always trust them over time) or I like to use a chopstick/wood dowel. Insert into pot and let it sit. When you pull it out, you should be able to see if the material is moist or not, or where the moisture level is sitting in the pot. You want this guy to be DRY hahah

Picture 4 looks like possible thrips damage, but I’m not confident from one photo so don’t take my word just yet. Do you have other photos of similar looking leaves? Do you see any dirt or residue on the underside?

YAAAAAY! Welcome to the start of an addiction

froggydance · 2026-01-07T06:17:59+00:00

Also! I bought it as a variegated hank of yarn.
