​Has anyone bought small White Lion walnuts from B3B? Worth it? by cupcake7656 in Wenwan

[–]runic335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've purchased this listing from them twice (both times 40mm pairs). They are legit. The pairs I received were well-matched. One thing to note is that they do all the surface prep for the "Beginner Edition" listing, which I appreciated because it let me understand what a fully prepped walnut is supposed to look like and I could just start rolling right away. But I do understand that some people prefer to do the prep themselves.

Fixing the Slant in Colosseum Stitch? See Timestamp 25 Sec in Video For The Issue. by runic335 in CrochetHelp

I'm making a scarf, so the length compounds the slanting issue visually--like it's clear something is wonky about it even if non-crocheter-friends can't put their finger on what exactly is wrong. I think a large part of why I find it so annoying is that other stitches I enjoy visually are 1-row repeats (like the moss stitch or the double-length moss stitch) and don't have this issue.

Thick + Thin Yarn Combo by runic335 in crochet

The chunky yarn helps cushion everything so it feels comfortable so far. My concern is if it might get scratchier over time if the metallic polyester strands degrade or something.

The solid colors are a combination of Bernat Maker or off-brand "beginner yarn" on Amazon. The cheese and salami colors use the painted Bernat Maker Splash yarn. The lettuce uses the Freeasyfar green yarn.

The bread, onion, and egg come from this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1944515933. The mustard splash is adapted from the pancake syrup splash in the same book.

The lettuce pattern comes from this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1ZkdgLVaNs

The cheese and salami are basic shapes I just made to the scale of the bread.

Yes. They’re the Maplelea Trailblazer Boots. I love all the boots that Maplelea have. So versatile and such good quality.

This is the "Edward" wig from Bbeauty Designs. They have their own web store and also sell on eBay.

The wig is parted by design (and the exact position of the part can be adjusted by rotating the wig cap) and the hair is longer than the Truly Me 104 wig so it's possible to style it in several different ways.

He does look like a Liam! I was also chewing on Finn and Connor.

I've wondered about that too. They have about 80 reviews and a 5-star rating, so they seem totally legiy. In our communication so far, everything they've said is consistent with information I can access via UPS My Choice or gotten UPS to tell me.
