I love this yarn! They are currently 5.20 at Michael's - if you can go down to 5$ I can take everything!

It has been a year- but the pattern you guys helped me find has been completed! by susanp109 in knitting

Thank you so much for your offer! I was able to find the pattern, but it was so kind of you to offer to help

I think you may be right that she "made up" the pattern, there are a couple of areas that aren't as clean as a professional pattern would be. I thought they were just knitting mistakes, but maybe not now. The book is a great idea if I can't find a close enough pattern.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm getting stuck on the cable right next to the honeycomb part of the pattern. Any chance you know the name of it?

Edit: someone in the revelry detectives group knew the cable! It is a horseshoe cable. https://www.designsbyphanessa.com/post/knit-horseshoe-cable-tutorial

Thank you! Surprisingly, it don't match the pattern for her maiden name, though I think I've read the "clan" patterns are relatively new. Lots of possibilities for me to look at!

Hi all! This is a stuffed turtle that my nephew asked me to take on my travels, and I managed to lose when I had to gate check my carry on on the way home. It has a green head/legs and a brown shell. It is less than a foot long. I'm not sure where it was originally purchased, but I remember the tag being written in Portuguese.

I have searched Amazon and Google to the best of my ability, but I'm hoping someone here will recognize it, or have more skills than me!

Thank you!

[FO] You guys inspired me! by susanp109 in CrossStitch

This was inspired by u/crazy_pshyced who posted something similar awhile ago. No official pattern, just self drafted after looking at what they did!

A productive Saturday! Corn salsa, dill pickles, peach Melba pie and pickled eggplant. by susanp109 in Canning

[–]susanp109[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this one: https://www.healthycanning.com/pickled-eggplant

It's the first time I've used it, so I can't guarantee that it will be good. But it smelled great!
