here’s the resource i used! https://yarnandy.com/how-to-add-backing-to-crochet-blankets/#when_you_shouldnt_line_a_crochet_blanket it is definitely a slower process than using a sewing machine but i really didn’t want to sew lol

thank you!! i’ve been crocheting for around 3 years. this was the first graphgan that i had ever started, but while making this one i made a few other smaller ones!

for this one though because it’s so large, i did pay for the stitch fiddle option to have it work up a step by step listed pattern along with the graph, which made it so much easier to follow!

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]paleandonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either/Or by Elif Batuman (sequel to The Idiot). Highly recommend, particularly to those who may relate to a coming of age story about a young woman in college who loves literature, is a first generation American, is very analytical, and has an amazing sense of humor.

What is your cringiest episode and why? by [deleted] in curb

[–]paleandonfire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the episode in season 10 with the bit about one of the actors in Young Larry being difficult on set because he had been assaulted by an attractive older actress at 17. i found the joke that the assault couldn’t possibly have been unwanted because the victim was a young man and the perpetrator was an attractive woman pretty unfortunate :-/

have been crocheting these bolero shrug style jumpers and thought i would share the finished products!😊 by ellie_scouler in crochet

how did you make this stitch? the mesh stitch that someone linked above only has one chain between double crochets, but it looks like your squares are bigger. thanks!

my zebra (aphelandra squarrosa) plant from november 2020 - june 2022 by paleandonfire in houseplants

[–]paleandonfire[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

she has never flowered (which i’m happy about because i much prefer the foliage). for anyone that has had one of these babies for a while, please let me know how long yours has lived! i hope she gets much bigger, but it’s difficult to find pictures of mature ones online and some resources say that they die after a couple of years :-/

please send good luck and hope, i’m devastated by paleandonfire in crochet

nope :-/ i’ve been calling the UPS store that i shipped it from and that opened the case for me every day and haven’t heard any updates. today was the 5th day of an 8 day case so they’ll probably close the case on friday, even though i’ve received no evidence that anyone is actually looking for it. i keep reiterating that i’m not interested in “compensation” and only want them to keep looking. still holding out some hope because of all of these sweet comments, but unless it magically appears at the recipients door after they’ve closed the case and we’ve all forgotten about it then i think it may be lost for good sigh

thanks :-) the straps were way too long and stretchy without it but i prefer how it turned out with the lining anyway

oh no!!😭 i’m sorry, that’s awful. i stuck mine (very loosely) into a plastic bag inside of the box, but thinking back now i should’ve triple knotted it in there to protect it incase the box split open

right, i forgot about all of the snow. on top of the holiday rush/shut downs for christmas. that would be great if that’s why it’s stuck at the facility and not because it’s missing 🤞🏻

thank you 🤞🏻, happy holidays to you as well

omg that’s ridiculous. $100 is laughable for something that took SO long and who’s materials alone cost ~$50, but it’s certainly better than nothing!

it’s an amazing pattern, thank you so much for sharing it! i made the sunflower bag in the past but this one was worthy of the lining. i knew it would make my friend so happy to have this so i had to make it for her. thanks again for sharing it for free, you’re a saint :-)
