Crocheters Thread

You can test it: make something small with the yarn you are thinking of using, then wear it for a while. Maybe a strip that goes around one wrist like a bracelet.

That will tell if it feels scratchy or itchy to you, which may be different than what someone else thinks.

Brilliant!!!

I just started to knit a hat (yes. My first knitting project ever) today and the casting on + first row took me 2 hours. Then second row took 45 minutes. Third took 30. And I had to make 20 more rows before the pattern EVEN STARTS. those torturous 20 rows are going to take me like 8 hours. In the time that I started this knit project I could have crocheted a whole beanie . I don't think I'll ever knit again after this project, too much work.

YAY I’m so glad I saw this thread!
This is a bible cover I made for my mom today. Definitely not perfect I’m a pretty amateur crocheter

This is why I’m scared to try arigurumi lol, every time I do it I got so frustrated lol. I like to be able to peacefully crochet while watching something but I’ll have to learn eventually I suppose. I do knit a bit, after a few projects it’s not as bad, but some of the tutorials online make learning how HORRIBLE

I knitted an infinity scarf once, that was the extent of my knitting. I’m definitely sticking to crocheting for now

Wasn’t planning on it, but I made a mug cozy tonight

Wow! Those really are some nice colors. Did you use the pooling yarn or multiple skeins of solid colors? I don't get how pooling works and how people seem to get as many stitches as they want out of a limited amount of yarn. it's just so crazy to me as an amigurumi person lol. Good to know the fabric softener helps!

It’s variegated yarn! Is that the same as pooling? Haha I’m still new to some parts of crochet!

Wow! I still cannot wrap my head around how pooling works, lol. Also have 0 patience for non amigurumi projects so I have yet to make my first blanket/sweater.
