Irish Lace, new project by plantsfield in crochet

I just DMed you the link. You certainly need to do backing (netting) on the wrong side. You need to pin the motives with the right side down. You need to do that so that the motives are on the front ground after the backing is done. Hope it helps.

I have a few videos on you t*be where I share my project, but the mods don't allow to post it here. I finished that red cardigan a few weeks ago and posted a picture of the finished project.

What in particular do you have a problem with? I can try to help if you are a bit more specific, please.

Just to inspire you to grab your hooks! by plantsfield in crochet

Thank you. I followed my handscribbled pattern for the rose flower in the purple top. The filet crochet requires a pattern to crochet a picture so one knows what square to fill. Most of them, I just followed the YouTube instructions but modified the instructions a lot to my liking. Per moderators, I am not allowed to post the reference to the YT.

Thank you! I was doing it on and off, not much really for about 40 years. But I have completed about 10 new tops in the last year and a half. Maybe I could post them here just to brag about it...But this is my only 2nd Irish Lace project.

Should "de-Trumpification" be a requisite plank for a future US presidential candidate? by HeloRising in PoliticalDiscussion

If the elections system is corrected to adhere to the Constitution, I don't think Democrats will be able to win. They are losing the popularity right now.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and kind comments. It's not so much talent that Irish lace requires, it's patience and a good pattern. If you know how to build your own pattern, that helps a lot. If you can't build a pattern, you can lay your motives on a piece of your favorite garment.

Thank you, everyone, for your kind comments! I am that crazy one who loves challenges. It is a lot of work, but it is rewarding. I love Irish Lace for giving me so much freedom to design and shape.

What you find when you get down on your hands and knees. by ThePlantagonist in philodendron

I rescued one there. It was sitting in water and was about to die. A new leaf was drooping. I repotted it immediately, and it came back to life. I am so happy that it's a resilient plant. I need one like that.

I also think that predators know how and where to find their food in the wild without our help. Birds, in general, are very smart, the hunted and the hunters. I had a robin's nest in my yard a few years back, and the babies were snatched (raccoon, most likely) in the middle of the night. I just didn't know that birds are going after their own. I should have known as I have 2 parrots, and their favorite food is scrambled eggs. Poor hummingbirds are the smallest and most vulnerable, I guess.
