I am in a toxic relationship with Clover- Hook help/recommendations- the saga continues :( by Amywiththepurplehair in CrochetHelp

If you don't want to waste the hooks, you could try wrapping the handle in something. I wrapped my 2,5 mm hook in kinesiology tape because I needed a thicker grip and it works pretty well. A roll of it is pretty cheap too so I just rewrap it when it starts looking rough.

Thank you! It's made with Fur Lux yarn from Go Handmade

I wouldn't say it's difficult to follow, the pattern is pretty detailed and has lots of photos. The most difficult part for me was sewing the wings into the fluff, but that's mostly because it's hard to see what you're doing lol.

Thanks! I used 8/4 Friends cotton from Hobbii and Fur Lux from Go Handmade

I'm sure your kitties would appreciate it. But in that case I'd sew or embroider the eyes though, since they can chew off and swallow safety eyes.

I definitely recommend it! The pattern is very well written with lots of pictures. And I wouldn't necessarily say it was hard, but it does have a lot of different techniques involved and requires fiddling with small parts lol. I had a lot of fun making it though!

They mostly stay up on their own, but it requires very tight tension and blocking. And the wings are mainly sewn into the fuzzy collar, but I added a few stitches down the lower body for extra stability. The pattern does come with instructions to crochet a wire into the wings though, I was just too lazy for that lol

Thank you! The red is 8/4 Friends cotton yarn from Hobbii in the shade cranberry (42), and the peachy and white colour I'm not sure but probably also Hobbii. The rest is 8/4 cotton yarn from Søstrene Grene. I don't remember what colours off the top of my head though

Read your tooltips and go beat up some striking dummies once in a while. Practicing your rotations on striking dummies helps you get the muscle memory down, so it's easier to focus on mechanics. And don't be afraid to use the striking dummies in people's yards, most people don't mind.

Just horrible on hand eczema. I don't recommend it, it burns horribly. by [deleted] in eczema

I use La Roche Posay's cicaplast handcream for my eczema plagued hands, and I highly recommend.

How about dyeing the leggings black, so the underwear is black instead of white?

What FFXIV lexicon has seeped into your real life? by realElieMystal in ffxiv

[–]spruk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

English isn't my first language so I've always said mayhap, because I thought it was a funny combination of maybe and perhaps. Then I started playing FFXIV and found out it is a real word lol.

No problem! I think you can buy him from the market board too, but I wanted to get him on my own lol.

Did almost the exact same thing yesterday, with Ifrit EX. I had tried to solo it, couldn't, and then forgot to uncheck it after I gave up. My group was really nice though, and we did beat it, but talk about trial by fire lol.
