Or the writer figured it was self-evident. It's an issue with some patterns, that people go "of course you do X, why would you not do X?" and then don't...actually...write down that you're supposed to do X or when it needs to happen, and then they're just baffled that it doesn't look right for anyone else.
Progress on first arm warmer: ~50% I'm not the best at knitting; if this were crochet I'd have finished both within a couple of days. But I wanted it to be stretchy, so. Knit. Well, the stitching is pretty even, so I'd say I'm doing pretty well.

oh, now that is COOL. (though i lost a bit of respect for the artist bc one of her piece descriotions said something like "what if computers emerged from textiles" and like. they DID. so. how a computers-and-crafting nerd manages not to know about ada lovelace baffles me.)
i have a black hoodie that i liked but thought was kind of plain, so i sewed a patch onto it today! i was apprehensive about my sloppy hand-stitching being visible but 1. it's black thread on a black patch and black fabric so it's not super visible and 2. it doesn't look too bad actually.
mobile posting is tricky, but here's an image, hopefully? Spoiler: probably fuckoff-huge image ETA: if it's showing a broken (IMG) link then you should be able to right-click the img icon and view it in a new tab? it works for me
Ooo, hey does anyone have Neat scarf patterns? That can be used with any old stripped/variegated yarn? I get bored with scarves very easily because they're too repetitive, but I wanna make a bunch for Reasons. I don't wanna buy new yarn for it either, just use up what I have. I've looked and looked on Ravelry and either I start something I think is neat and I get bored, or the more neat thing require specific colors. :( I also get bored looking after just a few pages, though so that's on me lol I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had one off the top of their head.
I like this one, its a 9 row diagonal rib sort of dealie. I made it in a variegated yarn and thought it was neat i didnt read correctly and thought you wanted knit patterns, sorry
No idea how it’ll play with variegated yarn but this pattern was pretty cool https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/asherton-reversible-scarf Edit : wait that’s knit not crochet, that prob doesn’t help you :(
What weight are you looking for? Triangle scarves might be a good route for you, I know they're a big one. I can also ask my partner, she's hella into crochet :D
Knit patterns are okay too. I need to learn eventually! Worsted weight, mostly. If I'm using yarn I already have
Actually now I think on it - my first knit project was a vaguely interesting checkerboard pattern (first project as in first after a lot of mangled rectangles to learn the stitches at all lol). I can try to work out what the pattern was for you from the pic I posted on fb; it was out a book I didn’t bother moving with me. I remember the stitch patterns just not the overall size info, like how many to cast on and whatnot.
I think this might be a good starting point! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/one-skein-chevron-scarf
Does anyone know if it's possible to fix a scratched aluminum crochet hook (or if it's even worthwhile to do so)? I have a hook with a very deep scratch in a very inconvenient spot that's basically ripping up my yarn with every pass. It's annoying and (imo) unsightly, but I hate to just throw away something that might be fixable...
so I think it's definitely possible, given all the info I've found on it? I'd recommend hitting up something like Home Depot to find out what "sticks" to aluminum best! this is a starting thing I found: https://www.ehow.com/how_4545809_polishing-scratched-aluminum.html imo it might be possible to find something colorful and make it look all cool, but then again, it might be more effort than it's worth?
