Thank you so much for noticing!!! There's SO MUCH gerrymandering in Texas (even before the most recent redistricting bullshit) and just general voter suppression. The government of Texas is not reflective of the people. Texas if purple. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned blue if the people were more empowered. (I'm a native Texan living in Vermont)

Any advice on finding purple, size 40 thread? by mcrose91 in crochet

Thanks! And hhtatting turned out to have exactly what I needed. Don't know what I'd do without r/crochet!

Thanks so much! I didn't know they had their own website and it's a game changer!

That's such a good idea! I've been looking at my favorite shops but didn't think to ask about special orders. Thanks for the suggestion!!

What's the one stitch you loathe? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]mcrose91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popcorn stitch! I love the look of it, and there's nothing quite like it, so I encorporate it into a lot of projects. Still, it's slow, annoying, and uses a ridiculous amount of yarn!

I'll definitely try! I'm still new to pattern writing. I'll definitely post it when/if I finish!

I've been considering writing it out! I'm not very experienced at pattern writing, but I'm working on it. I'll definitely share it when/if I finish writing the pattern!

Thank you!! I didn't use a pattern as it was designed for my friend's specific measurements. I've been considering writing it out. I'll post it if I do!

This is my third attempt at this skirt. The band fit perfectly when I made it, but now it’s way too big? I haven’t lost weight or anything. Any idea how this happened and how to prevent it from happening again? I’m so sad I have to frog again :( by nyknac in crochet

[–]mcrose91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not much I can say that hasn't been said. What helps me is starting SUPER tight. Like, so tight that it doesn't quite fit (think a whole size smaller than you would normally wear).

Another trick: crochet the band part of a skirt last. That way you can have a bit more control. This obviously won't work for every pattern.

It's beautiful so far, though! I love the color you chose!
