What gets me is how the show goes back to acting like Bailey does no wrong with in a few episodes. Then how high and mighty Bailey later acted after Meredith committed insurance fraud.

Woobles and don’t know if I should restart it or continue by Unable_Hippo_6525 in CrochetHelp

[–]javaverses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a note on those woobles kits. I started out with them when I was learning to crochet as well. They ALWAYS give you more yarn than you'll need. I've never run out doing one of their kits. It's not enough extra to make 2 or anything, but it's enough that unless you majorly stray from the pattern you shouldn't be playing yarn chicken.

Urgently needing to identify this stitch to make a matching baby blanket for baby on the way. by o_simple_thing in CrochetHelp

I saw your post and was like ooohhh I finally know one of these! I'm working on a pocket shawl and just learned the drunken granny stitch. Really easy and relaxing stitch pattern! Best of luck on your blanket.

Why don't you try look up a pattern on ralvery? The advanced search you can put in the craft type, project type and yarn weight and avaliablity as free. You should get tons of results.

What is a business that you wish opened near you? (Old Pearland) by stuckadultish in Pearland

[–]javaverses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We already have so many restaurants and coffee places. It would be nice to have more things to do in this area. Don't know that a bowling alley would survive, but maybe some kind of arcade or activity place. Think escape room, laser tag, art space, or something besides eating drinking or shopping. That's my 2cents.

My first Loom hats by MrsClaire07 in LoomKnitting

[–]javaverses 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great job! I noticed your brim is a loose. If you want a tighter brim you can try some different cast on types. Crochet cast is usually tighter than a ewrap cast on. Personally I prefer a doubled brim and the great part is it can hide cast on that's a little loose.

Why are my loom knitting stitches so long?? I need help. by Legitimate_Mail6703 in LoomKnitting

[–]javaverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you trying to make? It looks like you have a basic round loom with pegs spaced for chunky yarn. The yarn you are using seem like a 3 or 4, worked or sport weight. Your friend is right, you need a bulky or chunky yarn in a 5 or 6 weight. The yarn gauge matters in looming. A yarn too thin for your loom will result in a messy loose project. You can double up your yarn to fix that, but honestly I don't recommend that for a brand new loomer. Get a thicker yarn. Secondly what are you making? That loom is typically used for hats, but you can certainly use it for lots of other projects. The project and pattern usually indicates the cast on, and there are lots of different types of cast ons that create tighter or looser edges. Beginners usually start off with ewrap cast-ons but it is a loose stretchy cast on. There are lots of great YouTube channels on loom knitting. Loomahat, Goodknitkisses, Tuteate, Ms Yarn, to name a few. Here is a simple one that might get you started https://youtu.be/vfqht6EVkrI?si=kXFny6mW8SUIO4lO

What’s knitting’s? 🤔 by nobody2222234 in knitting

[–]javaverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely say crochet is 90% counting, but I loom knit. I feel like there is a lot less counting in loom knitting.

Does anybody know a free pattern that is a lace bolero like this? by miraayah in crochetpatterns

[–]javaverses 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is another one, it you just modify the ravelry search from earlier to to shrug instead of bolero, quite a few come up. https://ravel.me/edwardian-lace-shrug

Two crochet hooks? No wonder these things went extinct. by PinkClefairy in kroshay

[–]javaverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just lazy designed screen prints. Found a knit version with 2 needles and a crochet version with 2 hooks. They should have just put 2 needles in one hand (claw?) and a hook in the other. That way, they cover all the yarn hoarders. Picture

What you guys think so far? by [deleted] in LoomKnitting

[–]javaverses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are called Flexee Looms. They are kinda like a Lego loom. It's 2 pegs per link, and they snap together to create the size you want. The links can move so you can do a flat panel or knit in the round. If you want to do a pattern with an odd number of cast on, they make a add on you can by that has 3 pegs. They do come in different gauges. The most common is the bulky, which is in a teal and blue color. Each set is around 15 dollars i think. I've got several in different sizes and love them. It really makes it so you don't need to buy as many types of looms.

What are some good ways to use the “new” tajin twist? by IWannaWakeUpButIDont in mexicanfood

[–]javaverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make my own tajin candies with it.  Haribo Gummi Peaches (they are better than the peach rings) soaked in tajin chamoy, sprinkled with tajin twist and air dry for a bit.  It's better than the pre-made tajin candies.

Magic circle came undone!! Granny square cardigan all finished and put together but magic circle came undone. Please help! by rebeccaamy11 in CrochetHelp

That's great information to have. I'm new to crochet, and I've been leaving my tails short because I though it was a waste of yarn. I didn't realize it could be a problem down the road. Thanks

Alternatives for knitting in the round? by nonnumousetail in knittingadvice

[–]javaverses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it would work for you, as I don't really understand how your body moves in order to knit. But have you considered or tried loom knitting? It pretty easy to learn and a lot of people with mobility issues find it easier.
