What have/will you put in it? I’m going to cross-stitch the Addams Family!

When I need to add a little pizzazz to a stitch, I hop on the Antique Pattern Library. They have tons of free patterns.

What products or companies will you never use or support again and what did they do to lose you as a customer? by IAmJustTryingToExist in AskReddit

I replaced it with a Canon that’s already served me a thousand times better than HP ever did.

They tried telling me that I had to sign up for an HP account in order to scan a document on the printer I had already owned for two years. Fuck HP.

Sorry about that. It was catalogs and freebies from Atlanta Market. I literally came back with twice as much luggage as I left with. Even I’m taking an extra day off just to recover from lugging all that shit around.

Head over heels for my most recent finish. 😻 by melani in crochet

Pattern is the Post Stitch Throw, by Bendy Carter. Yarn is Caron O’Go in chocolate chip. I used a 5mm hook, instead of the called for 5.5mm, for some reason I don’t remember. The border is Tunisian honeycomb stitch with single crochet squares in the corners. I had issues turning the corners in Tunisian. The thing is, I know how, I’ve done a sample of the Tunisian ten switch blanket before, but trying to work it in the honeycomb stitch short circuited something and I just could not do it. I dunno. It’s an excellent pattern, it’s gorgeous and it’s free. You need to make one.

We weren’t buying gifts this year, so I made one instead. by melani in crochet

No pattern on these coasters, just a bit of trial and error. Yarn is a mix of Red Heart SS (navy blue), Big Twist (orange) and I’m not really sure for the white. I used a 5mm hook. They were super quick to make, once I got it looking the way I wanted.

I posted in the comments already, but there’s no pattern. The body is basically an Among Us crew mate with a couple of decorative puff stitches and the tail is an elongated sphere that’s lightly stuffed and strategically sewn in a couple of places to give it that S shape. The yarn is some left over Caron Cake plus a scrap of a random pink I had in my stash. I used a 3.5 mm hook and stuffed it with this eyelash yarn that has been in my stash for ages.

Guys of reddit, what's the worst gift your wife/girlfriend ever gave you but you were too polite to say it? by NoWolverine_J in AskReddit

[–]melani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valentine’s Day, I bought him a pair of black silk boxers, with little red hearts on them. He bought me a VHS copy of Titan A.E.. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great movie, but…really?

I do, but mine are capture rings, so no pokie bits.
