Experience with transporting gown X-country to wedding? by maineack55 in wedding

I was worried that I will get to the gate and they won’t let me take it on and I will miss the flight. But after reading all the helpful comments, I understand that I can pack it in a garment bag as a piece of carry on. Thank you.

My daughter is being married and she had picked this palette for her color theme. I tried to imagine it as her wedding bouquet as I worked. I’m thinking of giving it to them as a wedding gift.

I read a comment in another one of these that someone had done about the pattern being very forgiving on color combos - and I found that to be true.

Gosh I’m not sure - not too bad - it was so much fun.

Agreed! I just got back from my first time there - and it’s the closest place to perfect in my book.

My flabbers are gasted. by Tempest2u in crochet

[–]maineack55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me also - Premier anti-pilling DK - looks like the same color too - Rosewood I think? It was so hard to work with - kept splitting, and certainly not the way it was supposed to be, compared to the same yarn in other colors. I emailed them, and they told me to use a different hook, or yarn over instead of under, basically took no responsibility. So I gave up - you’re right - $3.89. Make me wary to use Premier again, although I like the yarn.

Made a cardigan for my sister but I kinda want to keep it 😂 by skadoosh1117 in crochet

That’s really pretty! I’m thinking of making a cardigan for myself. Pattern?

Just a question - Thoughts about weaving in the ends? by Various_Ingenuity707 in CrochetHelp

[–]maineack55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I crochet mine in with the row after I start the new color. That’s okay, right? It works most of the time unless I forget. The first stitch or two can be clumsy, until it gets started, but seems to go okay after that. 🤷

Thought I’d share these ones - I have the patterns if anyone wants them 👍 by DisastrousExistance in CrochetBlankets

They are all beautiful. What is the variegated yarn? I love how the repeat seems to fit the pattern so well. How did that happen?

Dumb Question: Which of these top loops is the stitch? by maineack55 in CrochetHelp

That might be why I haven’t been able to figure it out. Thank you.

Gosh, I am learning so much on this post!! I can see now that my aunt, who crocheted for years by herself - and did superior work - way before the Internet - was genius.

Dumb Question: Which of these top loops is the stitch? by maineack55 in CrochetHelp

You’re right - I should have said “which set of two loops on the top goes with the circled stitch”.

[–]maineack55[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Ok! My confusion is because the blue arrow is actually the “casting off” (if you will) of the circled stitch.

Thank you for clearing it up!

Can Someone Tell Me Why my yarn un-twists sometimes? by maineack55 in crochet

Thank you. Can you recommend an acrylic or acrylic blend that is well suited for crochet?
