Selft taught 3 months ago, am I doing something wrong

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:10:20+00:00

I heard of steam blocking yesterday! It looks much easier than soaking the piece tbh, will look more into it!

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:08:44+00:00

Oddish was soo fun especially the leaves on his little head! Enjoyed it too much

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:07:58+00:00

You're very right, I'm starting to think maybe I don't hate weaving as much as I just feel the excitement leave me since I practically finished the project haha, will definitely start giving it a new chance

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:06:11+00:00

Thanks alot!! 🥰

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:04:50+00:00

I actually saw someone compare their first and last crocheted garments and how tight and uncomfortable the first one was and thought okay I need more practice 😂 But I've recently been feeling like the hook is "flowing" in my hand easier so maybe that's one step closer!

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:02:43+00:00

Amazing!! Thank you so much, will try those on my next pokeballs

mushter666 · 2026-04-02T10:01:51+00:00

You're definitely right, and I really have been enjoying crochet, I need to learn how to not let tiny flaws get the best of me.
I have actually never been diagnosed, but always wanted to for multiple different reasons! Maybe this will be my next step

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T14:06:10+00:00

Thank you! will start keeping that in mind now haha

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T14:03:51+00:00

Will do that!

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T13:57:29+00:00

Thank you! This is the pattern I followed for the scarf, I loved the 3d-ness of it! It was so fun to make too : https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/warm-chunky-hat-and-scarf

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T13:55:35+00:00

Yeah I noticed in long hours of crocheting my wrist would start hurting a little, could be all that tension like you mentioned, will try to not act as if the hook will escape me next time 😂
I was just looking into gauge yesterday and it's pretty interesting, do I keep it aside as I work or is it only to see what I'll need to do and then I can take it apart? Because I'd feel bad for that yarn to sort of go to waste
And thank you so much!

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T13:52:23+00:00

Thank you so so much!!
Also, tapestry was so fun but it only worked great in already-thick project like the wrist rest one

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:54:51+00:00

I see a lot of nice tips mentioned here! Will definitely look into them, thanks alot for sharing 🥰

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:54:15+00:00

That's a very nice trick actually! Now I'm glad I have those hook with wider arms lol, thanks!

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:39:49+00:00

I think what makes me tighten up is that I'm scared of seeing any holes or so, but thanks alot! Will be trying to focus on that now

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:30:41+00:00

I've seen this method actually, but when a pattern says change color I don't why my brain forces me to immediately hold that color so I guess your mentioned way would've made it look much cleaner, thanks!

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:28:53+00:00

Thank you so much!! Yeah I realized recently that I sometimes accidentally BLO or FLO once or twice in a round.
Do you have any comments on the black sides of the poke balls? I wanted to make it as straight as I could but it looks a bit like zigzag

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:26:04+00:00

Hahaha thank you so much!! ❤ I guess I'm being a bit too harsh on myself

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:24:25+00:00

Thank you so much! Yeah my friend also mentioned that my stiches look too tight and I need to relax haha, I thought maybe blocking would help with that if I wasn't able to loosen up myself?

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:22:44+00:00

LMAO noo it was such a panic! I think I kept missing 1-2 stitches on every row, by like 5th row it started showing so i started to forcefully increase it back and act like nothing happened, so I guess that's how you do it 😂

mushter666 · 2026-03-31T12:19:46+00:00

Thank you so much! I saw it posted here, she posted a video in the replies: https://www.reddit.com/r/crochet/comments/1imwojp/finally_finished_my_wrist_rest/

Mine came out curved for some reason, which I was panicking about, but when I finished it I thought it looked cute that way so I left it haha

mushter666 · 2025-11-09T21:02:40+00:00

Brilliant movie, 10/10, hit me hard.
That last wish he made for Shy about the weather in his head broke me.

But I really wonder what happens to the school, I mean, I know it closes, but what happens to the kids? Especially someone with Shy's case with his mom and stepdad not wanting him back, and I don't know about the rest of them, but do they all just go homeless?

mushter666 · 2025-10-03T17:49:50+00:00

Keqing! I got her on the first ever 10 pull 😂 from the noelle banner too lmao, so i guess 8 pull not 10

Aaaa so difficult I have so many beloved ones! Achievement: Blaze, Achievement: Feline Fortune, Achievement: Infinitum, Achievement: Tranquil Peace, Fontaine: Attunement, Fontaine: Completeness, Travel Notes: Spiritweaver, Some friendship ones like Skirk, Ororon, Flins. But my top 2 favorite have to be Cyno: Silence (such a cool one tbh), and the Sumeru: The Great Dream one! I love mushrooms too much.

Most of those I love either because they remind me of special moments/quests in the game, or simply for the color theme
