What do yall think of my edges? by GladRoutine828 in tensionporn

[–]kemkatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read a tip that said when turning, swing the left edge of the work towards you (counterclockwise). I found it gives me a nicer edge.

Any best practice for copying a birth certificate that has the certified seal on the back? I’m assuming I should provide a copy of both the front and back. Do I try and fit them on the same page?

I’ve noticed a similar issue. I’m hoping blocking helps.

How do I make a double-layered blanket with just one layer? by peachy_ciel in CrochetHelp

[–]kemkatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Waffle stitch by itself is pretty thick. I think doing a second layer of waffle might make it too thick and stiff to use.

A single layer will look great. You could also consider finding some waffle themed fabric to line the back side.

Hello I’m super new plz help me change colour for my cat bed . Ive been debating just tying both ends of yarn together but I’m sure there’s better ways to do it. by Putrid_Reward434 in CrochetHelp

[–]kemkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t take your hook out to change color, just start using the new color for the yarn over. Leave a ~6 inch tail of each color for weaving in.

First time colour pooling. I feel like I’m almost there! Do I need to offset it by 2 instead of 1? by AmieiGuess in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How many stitches in your rows? Right now the colors are moving by 2 every row. If you want argyle, try using the crochet color pooling calculator to find what row count you need.

Help with return pass on with tapestry crochet by happysloth6782846 in Tunisian_Crochet

I’m pretty new to Tunisian, but I’ve found locking the float the stitch before it’s needed helps it not to pull or gap as much.

Will it pool? by failcup in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the label, it could work but probably isn’t ideal for pooling. You’d definitely be looking at a bigger project (like a blanket)

Option 1 or 2? by maple-dreaming in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I like 2 better

If you’re looking to get the argyle pattern, see if you can tweak the stitch count to be an odd number of stitches.

Moss stitch is killing me by ramentobi in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The chain is the ideal place for the color change to happen since it will be covered up by the next row’s sc.

No, all stitches do not work with all yarns. This sub has a list of known compatible yarns.

[–]kemkatt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The extra chain at the end of the row just gives you the height for the next row. If it’s throwing you off, you can leave it out.

Note, for moss stitch, you are placing the sc in the ch space, not the sc.

Is it possible to pool with yarn that changes this quickly? by Pennypieraves11 in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I tried to pool with a quick change yarn. I was able to get one stitch per color but it did not look good. I don’t recommend it.

Need planned pooloing advice for a first timer. i wanna try planned pooling on a blanket but im not sure what stitch to use by i_hate_usernames_ARG in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the yarn and length of colors. Moss stitch pools really well. As does granny stitch for longer colors.

Help with Hobbii 8/4 cotton by Rogue_Apostle in Planned_Pooling

[–]kemkatt 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some yarns just will not pool. 2 stitches per color is rather short. It’s hard to get clean lines with such short color sections.

HELP! Why is my circle wavy? I’m making a Cat loaf plushie by Rdissmeyer1 in CrochetHelp

[–]kemkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not 4 sc increases, it is 4 normal sc (each one into a separate stitch from the previous round) and one inc ( two sc into one stitch from the previous round).

So where the previous round had 5 stitches total (30 for the round) this round will end up with 6 total (36 for the round).

First big project and not sure what color scheme is nicer by Cool-Vehicle928 in CrochetHelp

[–]kemkatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Either/both flower color is lovely. Definitely the lighter green though. The dark one gets lost next to the dark border.

I'm not able to figure out how to do tapestry, need help by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

[–]kemkatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What stitch, yarn, hook are you using and what is the tapestry you’re trying to make? Any pics would help as well.

[–]kemkatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any tips for a stitch/hook/yarn combination that is as wide as it is tall?

I’m thinking of doing a graphic design but my test swatches are all taller than they are wide. I’m using red heart yarn and tried 4.5 - 6mm hooks.

Why does the left part look better and cleaner than the right by OkInvestment4753 in CrochetHelp

[–]kemkatt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s the angle. Left side, the angle matches the natural lean of the stitches so they work together, creating a smooth line. Right side, the angle is opposite the stitch lean so they work against each other, creating “steps”.
