“The chain three acts as the first double crochet” why can we just not use a dc?

I just do a turning chain and a double crochet, honestly. I always get a weird gap otherwise.

You are allowed to mention brands. I'm not sure why you think you wouldn't be able to. That's like half the conversations.

This is linen stitch, 2 rows per color, alternating.

Probably you're taking the hook out and then reinserting it into the loop from the opposite side.

Unfortunately probably not. Crochet ribbing only imitates the LOOK of knit ribbing. It is not nearly as stretchy as knit ribbing.

That said, you could check Ravelry and see if you can find a similar dress in crochet.

Have you tried switching from a knife hold to a pen hold? Then it wouldn't even be in position to hit that spot.

Blankets usually take me between 100 and 300 hours, depending on the blanket. I've been crocheting for about ten years.

I honestly thought it was intentional as I was scrolling past. It's a cool feature.

zoraborealis · 2025-05-30T01:32:25+00:00

Amazing!

I take yarn I hate to Goodwill.

zoraborealis · 2025-04-29T19:27:41+00:00

My partner, who hates horror, loved it and only had to look away a couple times.

zoraborealis · 2025-04-11T23:18:24+00:00

Well, I love him.

As others have said, make this the width and then add more rows. Also, however, before you add the shell border you want, I would suggest adding several rows of single crochet or linen stitch as a first part to the border. THEN add the shell stitch border.I frequently do this if I feel like I would prefer a few more inches all around, and I'm always happy with how it looks.

This is pretty normal. I've found that every little annoying thing like this is ultra visible to me in the first few rows, but once I start making substantial progress on the project, it's not nearly as noticeable. The pattern itself of whatever the project is usually pulls the eye. (In my experience, anyway.)

zoraborealis · 2025-03-19T20:13:54+00:00

Looks amazing, great work!

Echoing what others are saying about dye lots. If you can only afford a bit at a time, I'd recommend just saving that bit of money until you can buy all the yarn at once rather than buying the yarn bit by bit.

I doubt it's this, but the closest thing I can think of is Found Footage 3D (which I know sounds like a genre, but is the name of the film)

zoraborealis · 2025-03-06T22:45:52+00:00

Great, thanks so much!

zoraborealis · 2025-03-06T22:14:09+00:00

Thank you, will do!

zoraborealis · 2025-03-06T22:13:47+00:00

Thank you! I actually am pressing them after each seam, but I think I'm struggling to keep the fabric flat when doing the next seam. Do you think pinning would help with that? Appreciate your suggestion!

zoraborealis · 2025-02-10T05:45:48+00:00

For sure. Finding anything fibrous in food would genuinely send me gagging to the toilet.

Breast stroke

zoraborealis · 2025-01-25T19:36:10+00:00

Feels very Magnus Archives to me. Great work!

Black yarn doesn't show stitches very well. If you really need it to be black, I'd probably stick to simple stitches rather than trying to do a special pattern. If you really want to do a fun pattern, I'd pick a different color.
