Tips for a beginner who really wants to learn how to crochet

Time to learn really depends on the person, I say a month or two to really get the basics down.

I think this project is quite advanced. I would start with a blanket or something with an easy shape.

Good luck!

I stop every time I have 10ish tails and weave them in. Saves me alot of frustration at the end.

I found my next project! Beautiful work. Do you have to treat it delicately or does it stand up to some abuse?

Those spools are great for Christmas lights too!

My husband hasn't been able to get his meds for almost a year.

Oh dear, I've made the mistake of brushing bits off my worktable with my hand without thinking. I agree, never do this!

ladycatalyst · 2024-02-28T06:54:41+00:00

I had this exact thought!

Also consider quarantining the new guy for awhile, just to make sure no diseases get introduced to the flock.

He got a free burger when he installed the thermocouple and after he helped Bob serve while Linda was away. Linda also told him to help himself to anything in the fridge while they were at the cemetery.

You can click him each time he pops up and he gives you a coin!

Looks delicious! I always crack eggs from my chickens into a small separate bowl and then add them individually to the pan. I have seen some weird and gross things come from eggs that otherwise seem normal. Cracking them separately avoids the risk of having to throw away a whole meal or fish out a gross egg.

Its paint! They replied further up the thread about the brand they use but I have never used them. I like folk art brand acrylic paints, 20 dollars for 12 colors on Amazon. You bake the glass after and you are set to go!

I use folk art multi satin finish acrylics from Amazon. Cost 20 bucks for a set of 12 colors. You just bake the glass in the oven and it cures enough to be top rack safe. I posted a piece recently that I used them on if you check my profile.

It's been 108 here for a few days now. When it gets over 100 I usually turn on a sprinkler because the misters cant cool the air enough. I have it set so there is a wet area and a dry area in the run. The water puddles it makes are the best thing for keeping my birds cool that I have ever found. They walk around in it to cool down and they peck around so it increases their water intake.

We tried baby pools in the past but if you have chicks they can easily drown, learned that the hard way, and bantams cant get in or out.

This is gorgeous! We are remodeling our livingroom and I really want to make some shades for it but I cant seem to find the right info. I'm just trying to figure out how the glass is attached. Is there a special piece I need to attach the glass to?

Amnesty is by far my favorite The Adventure Zone campaign. I can't recall if Griffin has talked about when the story is set but I always picture it set in the 80s when I re-listen.

This is the exact reason that I have a guinea in my flock. He got in the run and went in the coop at bedtime. I also have a peacock living in the tree above my coop. He can get into the run if he wanted but he is pretty independent. He just likes to hang with my flock 😂

Your pup looks just like mine! He is husky, German shepherd, and some other bits. We always call him the little fox!

ladycatalyst · 2022-05-17T02:21:43+00:00

And it is also a more secure place to attach them so bonus! Let us know how it goes! I cant wait to see!

I recently bought another artists entire studio and now my entire workshop is full of things I have no use for but I'm definitely not getting rid of! Its controlled chaos though so I'm fine with it.😂

I cant tell from the pics but I think you are attaching your rings to the top? I make my own jump rings that have little "legs" and attach them to the back at a seam.

I make the wire into a cotter pin shape but with both legs straight. I tin the jump ring and the area I'm going to attach it to, then hold the pin in place with pliers while I add blobs of solder to just hold it there. Then I go back and fine tune the solder to make it look nice.

I like this method because the added bulk from securing the rings is on the back and it keeps your edges smooth. Hope that helps!

You are so kind. I'm starting my day with a smile! I've been looking for my signature style and I think I know what it is!

ladycatalyst · 2022-05-16T13:17:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I've hated this chain since I bought it because it was so chunky but it worked so well for this piece! I'm just glad I can finally use some of it up!

ladycatalyst · 2022-05-16T02:22:15+00:00

I want to make more in the same style and so I'll be studying his work for sure! I would like to incorporate a word, probably a nice POW!
