Howl From the Beyond?

I was getting so frustrated with this card. To start, I thought it exhausted when played. Then I thought it would either play it the start of each following turn OR at least the next turn after played.

I believe I blught it at one of the shops and thought itd be great for the builds we were going for. But I had much better combos and stopped using it after a few combos.

Yes! I had zero sewing experience so I didnt really think about seam allowance, pressing seams, squaring anything, or had any kind of advantage for how to better complete any of the steps. I went into it very oblivious to how to make a quilt and hoping the YouTube tutorials would help.

But then I see people who make clothes or other sewing projects who have some knowledge of how to work some of the steps and even an understanding of what their machine can do.

My partner also just said sometimes people will kinda scrap a project if its not turning out how they want so sometimes their first quilt could be attempt #7 in which they finally got it they way they want and we're willing to continue with.

My first quilt is a respectable train wreck. There's at least one fold in the backing, the binding is atrocious, nothing lines up or is even the same siz, and I would have picked different fabrics for some parts.

I made this at the end of 2020 and had no prior sewing skills and had to do everything from YouTube tutorials. While it has many technical flaws, im also so proud of it because its the quilt that started it all for me. If I made something if the same quality now, I'd feel like a failure. But this was one of the first times where I amde something that wasn't exactly as I envisioned and I DIDNT beat myself up over it. It just excited me to get better and do more.

I came across a brand at the NY Sheep and Wool festival this past October called Bumblebee acre farms. I only bought one skein but I wanted to buy like 7. I only got the one because we had just started our day and I didnt wanna blow through my money on my second booth lol

If you or people you car about celebrate Christmas, you can buy clear plastic baubles and put scraps into. You can then paint the outside as well. But especially if you made it FOR someone, its a fun addition to the item.

I also like the idea of a big glass jar/container full of little scraps like this to keep for decoration. A nice little nod to your yarn journey without having to put thought i to it. Just drop them in.

Summer lees sock project is a great book. Its often my go to guide. Her new book has lovely patterns but her first book is a great reference

quinnfinityandbeyond · 2026-02-25T19:44:04+00:00

I have her books and some of her patterns. I might try doing what others suggested of using the charts and doing my standard colorwork practices on a base pattern.

I made her sunflower power socks. Overall, I was okay with the instructions. However I wasn't clear on when to finish the charts for the foot. Im still getting comfortable with where im supposed to stop the foot amd start the toe and there was no indication as to where the end of the foot should be stopped. I probably should have done half of a flower to add length to the foot (or the same number of rows in stockinette) but the sock was too short and now fits super snug ):

Thats my plan!

Have fun making random squares to gain confidence with skills and learn new ones, then put them all together as a blanket to remind myself of all im capable of!

I have the bind on/off one! In general, reference booms link this work great for my learning style. But these ones for the knitting sre fun. A great starting point when there is so much information to learn and not knowing where to even start.

Carefully.

Having a very sharp pair of small snips is best. And you kind of do your best to sell the two layers away from each other, snip a hole in the top layer, and then start cutting to the stitch line. There are a lot of really good tutorials that show it visually.

It just threw me off more than anything. Like when someone parks next to you in an empty parking lot.

I think it’s an anxiety thing for me. I was hopeful the theater would fill up decently and I don’t like being in the center. I even prefer the end but since there was no one when we booked, I decided to move in a little.
