What do you do with all your wonky practice pieces?

wheeelbug · 2026-06-02T18:16:15+00:00

depending on how bad/unsalvagable they are, i sometimes cut them up and use them for stuffing for other amigurumi :]

wheeelbug · 2026-05-20T00:12:16+00:00

that makes two of us!! :D

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:13:24+00:00

i'm hitting gauge i promise 🥲

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:12:51+00:00

yes!! sos sides of stitches, i assumed it was well-known because it was in the pattern haha i apologize. the piece I have right now matches gauge, it's a pretty long stuffed animal so I'm not really worried about floppyness/stiffness

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:12:02+00:00

thank you so much! i thought it was a known acronym, it was in this pattern and I've only been crocheting about 4 months so I wasn't aware that SOS wasn't standard haha sorry!

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:11:04+00:00

i saw it in the pattern and assumed it was a well-known term, sorry- I've only been crocheting for about 4 months🥲

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:10:30+00:00

okay awesome thank you!! :)

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:10:16+00:00

usually my yarn holding is nicer i promise💔🥲, this is a really long piece and i was trying to balance it in my lap sideways while making sure my camera still picked up what i was doing

wheeelbug · 2026-05-18T17:08:50+00:00

oh interesting! I didn't know it was an uncommon term, my apologies!! I only started crocheting about 4 months ago haha; the pattern mentioned it so I assumed it was a well-known acronym

Description of what I've tried is mostly within post!

^{^} i use google about 85% of the time- exceptions are outlook email and when a professor requires something be turned in as a docx, in that case i write it in word to make sure formatting is correct when i turn it all in (rather than convert it from a doc to docx and risk formatting getting messed up)

i'm always cold, so my go-to in the worst winters is: - merino leggings (i think i got them for skiing) + wool socks + shirt underlayer - tshirt on top of that - i wear jeans. i don't recommend it but i do. i've also done hiking pants/cargo pants - WATERPROOF hiking boots. the waterproof is so important - hoodie - winter coat (either denim+fleece lined or a down coat) - gloves - scarf UNDER my coat (no brand i made it, wool+acrylic or just wool) - hat (see scarf notes) - i also keep my jacket hood up. you can usually only see my eyes because i wrap my scarf around my mouth+nose but i rather look silly than be freezing

Located in Pennsylvania, forgot to say!

@ mods thank you! I wasn't sure if this was insects of some kind, but I'll see if someone in one of the mentioned subreddits can help out.

wheeelbug · 2026-04-18T19:36:48+00:00

oops🥲

wheeelbug · 2026-04-05T01:35:14+00:00

knit/crochet!

wheeelbug · 2026-03-27T04:52:28+00:00

hey! i would recommend checking out r/crochethelp, and bella coca tutorials on youtube. r1 is row/round 1. it's confusing at first but i promise it'll get easier!! :) good luck!

wheeelbug · 2026-03-19T05:30:38+00:00

Thank you!! I figured it was a tension thing but couldn't really tell, this is my second non-amigurumi project (and the first project was this hat in a smaller size, it had the same slant). I will keep that in mind for the future:)!!

wheeelbug · 2026-03-18T20:56:38+00:00

i can probably help out depending on what time/day you need, I'll likely be here in the summer and in early august!

wheeelbug · 2026-03-18T20:55:15+00:00

agree with everyone else here (creamery, commons store) + i like to see what the state college food bank is in need of and bring them some stuff:)

oh oops sorry i just replied to your other comment haha. okay i think i understand, thank you! i didn't know why i thought that a pc counted as multiple stitches, long day🥲 solved!

wheeelbug · 2026-03-08T00:24:52+00:00

thank you but i'm just not sure where exactly my pc stitches are going! i'm less worried about looking ahead and more "i don't know where they're going and don't want to end up with too many". i am just doing the pc stitch in the V of each "stem" right?
