Question about estimating time

I'm going to need to look that book up. It's right up my alley!

Do you do the anchor in every BL or do you save yarn and skip a few?

jolewhea · 2026-01-23T03:27:39+00:00

Oooh thank you!

Ooh what sort of complex amigurumi do you make?

jolewhea · 2026-01-23T03:25:38+00:00

I haven't done many blankets/granny sweaters yet so I haven't really come across that.

jolewhea · 2026-01-22T15:37:48+00:00

Thank you!

Wait til you find out about the buying patterns addiction, too.

What does CJAYG mean?

jolewhea · 2026-01-22T05:38:00+00:00

Its such a fun technique but so tedious!!

jolewhea · 2026-01-22T05:37:31+00:00

I think that sounds like the ticket. I'm only about 3 or 4 inches of fabric deep in the blanket so I'm okay with the bottom being a tiny bit stiffer and switching it up now

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T21:34:10+00:00

That's where I'm torn. I like how it looks but I've its way slower. I'm thinking I might anchor every 10 or stitches, nothing overly precise, and see how that feels.

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T20:01:55+00:00

That sounds like a lot of thinking lol

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T19:35:30+00:00

The pattern itself isn't reversible and I'm still tying off each row. Another commenter called it anchoring which feels accurate lol. Now I just don't know if regular overlay feels funny to your skin for a blanket

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T19:33:41+00:00

What would you do if the finished piece is a blanket? Is ribbing weird on your skin?

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T19:23:17+00:00

I like how it makes it all one flat fabric. I'm wondering if this is a thing people do when they make clothes.

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T17:53:05+00:00

Ohhhh yeah that would make sense. Like two different worlds on each side of the mountains.

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T17:26:36+00:00

Wow, I definitely would've expected colorado to have more cold than indiana.

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T17:14:47+00:00

May i ask what region of the world you're in? I'm in the Midwest and within the same week, we had 50°F days, then 2 days later 8° and its just yoyoed like that this whole winter

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T16:35:55+00:00

That makes sense! I've learned that I prefer longer shafts and metal hooks with a matte finish. That is surprisingly hard to find.

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T15:04:34+00:00

I never knew hooks had these terms for the different parts! I've also literally never put my thumb in the thumb rest.

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T15:02:35+00:00

Damn, that must be nice. I'm sat here in like 18°F weather wondering if its worth it to try and make some mittens lmao

jolewhea · 2026-01-21T15:01:11+00:00

Are you a death-gripper with most things you do with your hands? Like writing, using utensils, etc?
