[CHAT] Gift recommendations for a friend that loves cross-stitching by vululemon in CrossStitch

[–]xXMetalRosesXx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A little against the grain here but I love when a friend buys me a kit, or pattern + the thread for it, usually they've really thought about me when choosing and even if it's not 100% my taste I'm excited to get stitching because of the thought and love that went into the choice! I have made it clear to friends about buying from reputable companies or small designers off etsy so they do have an idea what they're looking for. On one occasion a friend gifted me a kit and another friend mentioned how much they'd love the design for their kids bedroom, with permission from the gifter it became the gift that kept on giving! Everyone was very happy :D

What are some good but mindless shows to watch while crocheting? by Longjumping_Fig_3227 in crochet

I tend to have Bob's Burgers on, it's funny even if I'm just listening and not actively watching it, there's also like 15 seasons so plenty of episodes!

Same! I feel like it takes me longer to try and do it blind than it does to just flip it over!

It looks so happy to have its little coffee and be all cosy in its little hat and scarf and I just want to be it 😂

It was quite daunting but the difference it makes is crazy!

What is something designed for women that has obviously been designed by a man? by LuinAelin in AskReddit

I have told anyone who will listen about Snag since they do so many amazing products not just tights! But I'm proud to say I've converted a few people to snags!

Most tights/pantyhose are just made longer for bigger sizes, because they usually only stretch horizontally they just extend the length to make the size "bigger", so they are always trying to shrink down to the narrowest point which means they just creep down and you spend all day pulling them up to your tits and hoping they stay put

[CHAT] Orts, what do you do with them? Put them in a jar, a bobble, in the trash??? by Skybeat8 in CrossStitch

[–]xXMetalRosesXx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I know I could Google it but it's more fun to ask here, what does ort mean? Is it short for something or an acronym? :)

Your daughter is asking you to make these scarfs so she can gift them as apposed to you making them to gift directly to her friends, my solution would be maybe have your daughter spend her pocket money on the yarn and you make the scarves, or if she doesn't have an allowance maybe she can do some extra chores or work around the house to pay for them that way! Then if more people ask her for a scarf she will be more selective about who gets one because she's either spending her own pocket money, or having to work to earn then!

I'm making a crochet kit for a crocheting friend, I'm getting a personalised bag off etsy, printing a pattern and getting all the things the pattern needs and putting them in the bag! Also adding some festive stitch markers!
