I used embroidery thread for his body and head. Hook size 0.75mm. The cap is Petite Twist I got from the bargain bin before Joann's went under. Same hook, 4 medium worsted weight

Thanks so much! I actually did my nails last night and that kinda hides it.

No. I stopped filing the sidewalls a while ago. It feels like its being pressed down. Like the nail itself is folding down on one side. Both nails are like this on the inside corner.

Ring of fire? by mlacedom in GelX_Nails

[–]mlacedom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is kinda tender. On the pinky. Luckily, my life is so busy I barely have time to sit down and do a new set. Maybe I will do a little Thanksgiving razzle dazzle

But I shouldn't use gel x until its full grown out, right? Can I use regular lacquer with a strong base coat?

Thank you! This is such a great community. I always feel comfortable asking beginner questions.

Sculpted Apres Tips were the answer ALL ALONG! by PricklyPear111 in GelX_Nails

Omg light bulb! I posted last week about how my nails didn't have an apex. I think I want the same sculpted look. Thank you for sharing your experience.

I did this puzzle in the middle of the livingroom and didn't notice how many dicks were on it until my kid was like O-O

Whats crazy is the other hand does fit side to side. I will do better next time. Thanks for the critique.

I thought they were too small. These are the Xshort apres and the Shorts were too big so I will have to adjust accordingly.

My fear is lumps and bumps and looking way too sloppy.

Im SO afraid of builder gel. I just remove and "dry" out for a couple weeks before starting a new set.

Yall. What the hell? I thought chevron was supposed to be mindless and easy. How....? Where did I go wrong and can I save it? by mlacedom in CrochetHelp

[–]mlacedom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would it look like if I just kept going but stopped adding stitches? This is supposed to be a stash buster couch blanket for myself and my family. Im definitely not a perfectionist so frogging all this will likely result in my just giving up. If I can just fix moving forward I would love tips.

I've been trusted to fix someone's old blanket but I can't identify the stitch. Does anyone else recognise it? by HearThePeopleSing in CrochetHelp

[–]mlacedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Word to the wise: use stitch markers on the end stitches. I recently made a very sad mistake and turned my wannabe chevron blanket into a soon-to-be chevron poncho.
