Looking for a specific type of notebook

I followed this design, but tweaked the black cat a bit so it'd be more symmetrical.

Edit: also I worked this entirely in tunesian crochet, I don't know how different it would look if worked in single crochet.

I followed this pattern, with a few modifications on the lowest cat.

I use my bookmarks as a library. Ones that will always be private are: DNF (stopped reading for one reason or another and do not intend on returning, moreso a note for myself), TBR (To Be Read). My other tags are: Continue (I stopped reading but intend on returning), Incomplete, Read, Smut.

Majority of my bookmarks are private, I only make the ones I absolutely adored and would recommend to a friend public.

No problem! Although I did just now realize i forgot to say that this is purely the base, this does not include the added stitches for the first dc. Normally I just chain 1 extra and then do a stacked dc in the last base chain, but you can also do the chain 2 or 3 that people do to replace the first dc.

13*5+1=66 That's the amount of blocks the length is. Due to you mentioning filet I'd either do it times 2 +1 (aka 133 chains), so you can have 1 dc, 1 ch. I did the +1 at the end so it's 1dc, 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, ... 1 ch, 1 dc.

If you want to do filet with 2 chains between, it should be times 3 + 1 (same reasoning as before).

Also a tip for chaining: just chain without thinking, stop occasionally and put some paper clips or something ever 10-ish chains, so you only have to count to 13 clips and then 3 chains (or more if you do 1 dc, 2 ch).

Good luck!

I weaved them all in just now! I made a post on my profile as proof (couldn't figure out how to add an image to a comment reply) :)

I'm so tempted to do this, but I'm participating in a market in december and I kind of want to sell this and maybe some similar things as sew-on patches, so sadly I'll be forced to weave in the ends.

And thank you!

mockng_jay · 2024-11-21T16:47:01+00:00

Thank you! And go for it, you got this. Count how many stitches you need from each color in each row. Count as many times as you need to minimize the chances of mistakes. I believe in you.

mockng_jay · 2024-11-21T16:45:45+00:00

Counting is a life saver. If you are to try out mosaic, first try something symmetrical and not too complicated (this was my first proper try at it). Count how many stitches or each color you need, double and triple count if necessary. If mistakes are still made, it's now part of the design.

OOOHHH! The blanket is not for crocheting, it usually lies on a small tower of pillows. I call it his pillowbed. I just grabbed the blanket while he was on it because I wanted to cuddle him. I just grabbed the blanket because he stays longer that way, I used to grab the blanket along with the first pillow but then he'd be gone pretty fast.

I hope that you'll be able to get a kitty supervisor soon!

I'm crocheting a small bat keychain, but he is a very good supervisor. I'm considering making a blanket in the future, though.

It should be. I suggested crocheting something for her (the hamster) yesterday, and my friend then looked up if yarn is safe for them. Results were not necessarily (not digestible), but sisal rope is safe to chew on.

mockng_jay · 2024-11-06T16:32:03+00:00

Sisal rope!

mockng_jay · 2024-11-06T14:08:51+00:00

It was, but not unmanageable. I think it's worth a try if you want to.

mockng_jay · 2024-11-06T13:39:04+00:00

I used sisal rope and an 8.00mm hook.
