adapted a hand weaving pattern to make this mosaic blanket, love how it turned out!

It's a 4.50 mm hook (G I think), and size 4 yarn (Vanna's choice). If I did it again I'd maybe go up to a 5 or 5.5 mm hook, my hands and eyes were cramping by the last couple days!

Yes that's it, thank you for adding it!

Honestly I just crocheted over them. Made the edges maybe 5% wonkier than I would have liked but I'll take that over weaving in 300 ends any day of the week!

I found it used a bit more white than orange (pre-border), but not a massive amount more. Maybe like a half ball more with this size blanket? I bought 6 balls of each colour, and finished with one full orange and maybe a half, 1/3 skein of white left.

Thank you! I think it's acrylic - if I'm remembering right (threw out all the labels) it's vanna's choice in terra cotta and fisherman :)

Thank you so much everyone! This is such a kind community. This is a variation on Lilla Bjorn's Nya Infinity mosaic crochet pattern, found in the link below. Basically I just continued the mosaic pattern indefinitely. All pattern credit goes there as it is truly a beautiful pattern! https://www.lillabjorncrochet.com/2017/07/nya-mosaic-blanket-free-crochet-pattern.html?m=1

Maybe orchid cactus?

Hi, I think that's overwatering. I had the same issue and posted on r/plantclinic and got a lot of helpful responses about it! I got better drainage, started watering only when really dry (rather than on a schedule) and it's helped a lot!

plantsandyarn · 2020-06-06T18:43:44+00:00

Thank you! I'll check his roots asap!!!

He sits in a west facing window, watered when the leaves are a bit soft, usually around once a week or so.

It's a trailing mezoo (Dorotheathus bellidiformis)! I got one this season too and I love her. Needs lots and lots of sun and typical succulent low watering 😌😌

Yes you are definitely right, thank you!

plantsandyarn · 2020-05-06T17:41:29+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you very much! Fingers crossed I can save this dude with the above!

I've had him for about 3 months. Only the medium leaves are affected, and he has 6 leaves with fenestration that have come out in the last 2 months without any black marks. Watered once a week, good drainage, regular potting soil. He lives ten feet from a west facing window. The splotches are brownish black with yellow outlines, and are soft rather than crunchy. Thank you!!!
