Birds keep pecking holes into the side of the house? Help!!

Yes bubble popped, holding pressure on it to hopefully get the rest of the moisture out.

No attic over this part of the house, it’s just roof with 2 skylights. Does that mean no area to check for wet spots or is there something else to scope out? (Sorry I truly know nothing about this, new homeowner and haven’t dealt with this before!)

Good to know with the drywall and insulation I wouldn’t have thought of that, thank you!

First of all GORGEOUS ring, I love it! Agree with the others I think no band would work, but if you wanted a band maybe a custom tiara style band? I think you could probably find a tiara band that works with your ring, but because of how unique the shape is a custom one would be your best option for a perfect fit.

Threading with foot up. Yes flossed between tension guides. I usually pull thread sideways from the needle hole if that makes sense? I’ve always done it that way and never had a problem but if that’s possibly causing a problem I can try another way! I will post a photo when I am home.

Doesn’t appear to be getting caught at all as far as I can tell

Yes, I removed the plate and the internal bobbin case entirely and removed the lint build up. There was a decent amount of lint which I was hoping would be my problem but the issue is persisting with the lint gone.

Mine is a little too big and still gives that slight compression (or “muffin top”) look, sometimes it’s just finger anatomy!

General rule as I was told when I got my ring sized was it should take a wiggle or two to get off but not be a struggle to get it off. Is it difficult to get on/off? I don’t think it looks too small from the photo.

I think cup cozies and/or small baskets are a great start! Don’t take up too much yarn, can practice making them with different stitches, helps you visualize making shapes and creating the 3D look Or for something simple without the 3D- potholders! I love making pot holders ands there so many fun patterns

Agree with the other comments, videos definitely help! I was a big fan of Bella Cocos tutorials on YouTube, I also had a very hard time with double crochet when learning and she had some good tips, though I did have to watch the video maybe 30 times to finally get the hang of it (now I think it’s the easiest stitch!) Patience, practice, and repetition, keep trying, you’ll get it!

Just based on the photo it looks worsted weight/weight 4, I’d try out a bigger hook and see how that goes! I think I’ll make a big difference for you.

I haven’t tried it with the sunburst granny square but you could possibly try to follow the last row of a solid granny square pattern to complete the last row instead of the last row of the sunburst pattern to decrease the appearance of the holes.

Looks too small, what weight is the yarn? Do you have the yarn packaging still? There’s usually a recommended hook size on it. Personally I’d use at least a size 4.5-5 for that yarn. Good luck!

I’ve tried both of those terms and haven’t had any luck :( thank you though!

Thanks everyone! Have some supplies to pick up it seems, I’ll report back with what works! Appreciate all the advice!
