#and crochet warm blankets

[verkomy]

I want to be a hobbit so bad :(

#I want to live in my silly little hole in the ground #and eat 7 meals a day #and grow potatoes in my garden #and drink tea and read books #and crochet warm blankets #and make pretty flower crowns #and dance and have parties with my other hobbit friends #and watch the sunsets #what a life that would be #the hobbit #tolkien #text

The basket weave stitch is truly the superior stitch for scrap blankets.

Crochet/knit life hack: If you crochet or knit a big, fluffy blanket, you can cuddle under it when you finish while you make other projects

#art #fiber art #crochet #knit #i'm doing this right now!! #this blanket is in my FAVOURITE COLOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! #i'm kind of iffy about the yarn itself but it's really soft and again in my favourite colour so i will deal with it #i'm just excited because i feel like i find few things readily available in this deep golden/mustard yellow. it's sad tbh #like of COURSE i can order yellow things but that doesn't mean it's the same yellow irl as it is in a store do you get me? #that's why i don't really want to buy yarn online because the colours could look different on the site versus in my hand #it's actually amazing to me that i can make a blanket and my hard work will keep me warm... #(well also the hard work of the people who made the yarn but i did also do my part) #i'm going to start calling myself a cozy crocheter (i'm making a lot of cozy-themed projects lmaoo)

we don’t make enough grandpa xie lian jokes like that man literally gave out advice on alleviating creaky backs and legs after his third ascension, collapsed on his straw mat from fatigue after the banyue arc, and then lamenting on why everyone treats him like he’s so old when he is, in fact, always acting like an elderly man who’s seen a bit too much of the world

#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven officials blessing #xie lian #it’s so funny to me how he’s like I’m not that old!!!and then is seconds away from crocheting a warm blanket for himself #that man has lived too much #xl your experience with the world is showing

Been busy enough to justify a full round up for this WIP Wednesday. The TL;DR being that I'm back to being fully lace brained.

Blanket 10 is NEARLY finished. I've started attaching the last row and just need to finish out this row and then do a border (and give him a good wash, I've owned some of this yarn for years and it smells a little dusty). The nights are starting to get really cold here so I'll be happy to have it done, I just gotta force myself to work on it.

Doily 14 (Yarn | Pattern) needs to go on a longer needle but other than that is very fun and cute. I've decided to put it down for a bit to work on the next two projects but I expect when they get boring I'll go back to this. This pattern is surprisingly simple for a Neibling as long as you're prepared for the long pattern rows. Absolutely going to have to break out the washi tape to mark off my rows for the second chart, but the first one has been very easy lace knitting.

Unnamed project aka me fucking around to see if I can freehand this sweater design. I had started with a two row lace ("Honeycomb lace" from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker) but honestly didn't find it fun to knit. So I transitioned to a favourite of mine (ssk, k2tog, yo twice). It's going a lot faster now tho it looks a little weird. I'm going to knit to the underarm and if it fits, it stays. If it's too small I'll rip all the way back and redo the shaping in this lace pattern instead with longer shoulder saddles. It's unfortunate that I didn't like knitting the honeycomb lace, I really like how it looks, I'll have to try swatching it in different yarns to see if the problem is just that this yarn has zero stretch (100% cotton).

I have decided I will put short sleeves on this tho. I had planned to just add ribbing for the arms but I saw a drop shoulder vest in a similar style and did Not like it, so this just saves me from having to rip back. I also think I'm going to have to leave this cropped, I'm not a big crop top person but with this yarn being cotton, having a full length body along with the sleeves is going to have the neckline very stretched. There may be no helping it regardless but there's no harm in trying. I imagine if this is does become something I wear it'll either be in the dead of summer or layered over a button up/some sort of top anyway, so a crop wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Last but certainly not least is Shawl 14 (Pattern | Yarn). My precious Evenstar is coming along very well, I'm actually on the second to last pattern row before the set up for the border. I know the border is going to be a slog but I'm excited for it regardless, he's huge even all compressed on the needles. My self imposed deadline for him is April, but the border is only 56 repeats. If I can do one every other day I should be right on time, which sounds do-able even tho I know I'll get bored by the halfway point.

I need to keep an eye out for patterns for this yarn, I have a whole second cone plus what'll be left after I finish this shawl. These cones staring at me will probably be the push I need to settle on an Orenburg shawl pattern. (Or possibly a large Neibling, or one of MMario's patterns.)

#knitting #knitblr #lace rot #wip #wip wednesday #project: blanket 10 #project: shawl 14 #project: doily 14 #i haven't really touched shawl 15 so i didn't feel it necessary to include him (also it took me an hour to write up this much anyway) #i'm procrastinating from working on blanket 10 lmao it just makes me so eepy. heavy and warm blanket = nap time. #I gotta find something interesting to listen to while crochet it. I watched Astroid City with my dad and tried to work on it #but got so distracted by the visuals I made like 1 dc every other minute. #also my new cellphone camera is fucking awesome in comparison to my old one holy shit #it's like i just put my glasses on except they're not scratched up for once

so i'm crocheting a temperature blanket this year. my initial instinct was to say it's for my 32nd year but that's not actually how birthdays work so instead i'm awkwardly going with "the year i'm 32" and shortening it to just 32 mostly. anyway, that's besides the point.

i have the colour palette/yarn, i have the pattern (toni lipsey's linen stitch pixel temp blanket), i made a gauge swatch, i've started tracking temps (i've recorded hi/lo starting on dec. 8).... but fuck, i'm having so much trouble figuring out the temperature gauge!!!

i can't decide what the intervals should be, i can't decide if i want purples to be warm temps or cold temps or where to put the neutrals, i can't decide if i want to fiddle/tweak(/cheat?) and use the lows for the cold temps instead of the high which was the initial plan.... i just don't know!!! ugh.

#temperature blanket #temperature gauge #personal #crochet #whine whine complain complain #(i know it's not cheating bc it's my blanket/project and no one else's. i'm just so unsure) #i feel like if it was -20 early in the morning in jan but then warmed up to like -5 midday #then recording that day as -5 wouldn't accurately reflect the temperature variation? so that's why i'm thinking of using the low #but then i'm like. most often the low will be during the middle of the night which... is that representative??? idk???? #and also like... representative of what?? #i welcome advice or thoughts but reserve the right to ignore it if it makes me more confused lmao #i just have to pick something and stick with it for a bit #i guess if i find it's not working for me / not turning out how i'd like i can just tweak it from that point forward #except for the colour group assignment i guess #by which i mean purples = cold or whatever will be set in stone #i mean not literally. but i would not want to switch that up once i've started actually crocheting #i'm so conflicted about this bc i desperately want to start the project but i'm so so so unsure about the temp gauge

Off topic from my usual Star Wars brainrot, but I FINISHED MY BLANKET (save sewing the ends in)!!! Pattern is just double crochet FLO, yarn is lagoon thick & quick to match my parlor. Fits the decor much better than my fleece penguin blanket I had been using 🤣

#crochet #blanket #this took way too long #but it is heavy and warm

god i really hope that somewhere out there in the infinite world is a grandma who's been making temperature blankets/scarves every year since the 60s and is looking at them all together going 'huh'

#crochet #knitting #temperature blanket #temperature scarf #global warming #climate change #this has to have happened somewhere right #im so mad rn its my spring break iy was snowing and we lost power *two days ago* #now it's 55 and i'm sitting outside in a t-shirt eating a quesadilla

I finished this in June, but obviously the best time to post this was today. ;) I hope you find my poinsettia pretty and I kid you not, I only had like 1ft of yarn left when I made this so I was soooo close to needing to buy a whole spool for the last row. XD Enjoy! ^_^<3<3<3

I have been plotting an afghan for my bed this eve. I have a PLAN now! I'm going to be using THIS colour of yarn (Red Heart Super Saver #4 worsted in Monet)

in THIS style of a Granny Square (it's so pretty! a puffy star thing)

in THIS configuration of yarn.

The image on the left is the image I got from the website for the pattern. However, the colours of yarn they say to use for this means that the image on the right is closer to what the colours actually look like when you're not photographing your blanket through a magical eavestrough slurry of a camera with a pool of donkey pee as a filter.

(Seriously that left image does no favours for this pattern)

HOWEVER. This is a "save for several months to make enough money for the yarn" project, so now that I have it plotted out I'm hoping not to be distracted by shiny other things and change it in three months when I can afford the yarn lol

#yarn #blanket #afghan #crochet #I wanna be warm #but I guess this'll be a project for NEXT winter #bec I am poor #and I only have the white yarn #and not the Monet nor the yellow green and pink that the other areas are gonna be

My on-going project to use most of my yarn scraps before I move is still on going, but now I'm going insane at all the ends I've got to weave in.

I'm not even done with this blanket yet??
