Chris, the red mittens are so cool, very fairy tale! I think lose up the tension is key in knitting, I'm saw that when I knit in different days parts are different. But here I think I messed the rows. :rolleyes:

@Ellen Awww, they are awesome! Love the monkey! :) A little stupid question but how much yarn is necessary for one blanket? I know it depends on yarn thickness and ball length, but approximately how many balls?

Hello girls! In Friday was one of our national holiday, so we have something as special dinner at the weekend. Only for my family, but with chocolates, liqueur, special tablecloth, you know. So I decided to spend more time with my parents and pets and less online. This year I had no remorse...

So girls, during the weekend, I made this cactus! LOL! I'm just kidding, obviously that's are the legs on my turtle, but I saw few cactus pattern and they also looks alike, at least a little bit. I had lots of struggles with the fourth leg! I'm not skillful enough and also not concentrated...

So hello again, ladies! Except the usual daily stuff, today I'm mostly work on my crocheting turtle. Now when I'm sure that I'll make her I can tell you the behind story, as I was mentioned few days ago. In my language we don't have specific term for crocheting, we just say knitting on one and...

With lots of help from @faerywings I'm learning to crochet. I knit from many years and I found this transition difficult. My goal is to make 3 amigurumi before the end of the winter. For now I'm concentrate on amigurumi. This is my very first project Grace. She is naked turtle. I know it's...

Hello girls! I was able to compensate my yesterday's laziness with hard work and life have balans. I took pics of the first snowy day and will make page. But this morning when I should, I didn't feel it right to exalt the precious of the winter days when so many people suffer at the moment...

Chris, your mom is fire! Hope she will follow your instruction during their meeting! But it's worth it first to hear her and give her some reassurance! He sounds like handsome, but you aren't mentioned anything about how solid he is. I trust on Cait that she put her priorities right! But your...

@LSlycord aww, it's so disappointing to miss her science Olympiad competition. Is it possible to make a test instead of stay in quarantine? In my country we have that option and it's not very expensive I think it was around $20.

@faerywings Hey Chris, what you think, it looks like I'm not completely hopeless! I know I know it's not a right circle, but I almost figure it out.

Hello ladies! Happy Family Day for Canada! It was beautiful winter day, and I enjoyed the view and took few pics for one of the challenges. But nothing else didn't live up to expectations. I started a few tasks, but nothing come to the end. Can we call that work in progress instead laziness...

@faerywings thank you Chris, I'll check them! Actually I use exactly the Crocheting for Dummies book. :) Regular post later.
