World Thinking Day! - What is your most cherished handmade gift?
Mine is a piece I've made for myself, this granny square cardigan. I wore it to the Barbie Experience event a couple months before the release of the Barbie film. Credit to my friend Tracy for taking the pic!

Yesterday, during the Superbowl, I started a hexagon cardigan. I don't really like football, but I enjoy the halftime shows and the commercials (usually).

One of my goals for this year is to better my design process. It's been difficult to take the picture in my mind and bring it out into my stitches. So I'm going to invest in tools to help turn these dreams into realities.

We're back again! Okay, so on today's episode ... People Begging for Gifts.

This hasn't happened directly to me, but I have seen plenty of shared stories on social media and forums. Family members, friends, coworkers, and sometimes strangers passing by ask fiber artists to make them something for little to no value of what their work is worth! It seems to increase during the holiday season, and while some artists will oblige, it's usually only to those they feel are deserving.

It's been a while! Anyways, today's subject ... screen locks for pattern reading. Or rather, the lack of them.

You know how when you're reading a recipe online and there's often the option to "lock" your screen open so you don't lose your place? I wish crochet patterns had those. I hate when my phone locks while I'm finishing a row and sometimes will jump back to the top of the page 😡

Today's subject ... Stitch Terminology

Have you ever been reading a crochet pattern, and it says "using UK terminology" or "using US terminology"? It definitely makes a difference for the final project. Make sure you read those terms before you start stitching!

Today's subject ... the squeak.

Why does yarn squeak? It could be the hook, the yarn, or both. Plastic hooks and acrylic yarns produce the most squeak. It could also be your tension.

Today's subject ... yarn pilling.

At some point, friction and the breakdown of threads over time will lead to pilling.

The yarns that pill more often are wool blends and cotton blends with synthetics, some acrylic yarns, and any yarn that is loosely spun together.

Bamboo, 100% cotton, and 100% wool yarns are less likely to pill so easily. Also, thank goodness for anti-pilling acrylics 😅

Today's subject ... Yarn Splitting.

It's frustrating when you're working through stitches so smoothly, and then all of a sudden, the yarn catches. 😒

Most commonly, it is the hook and yarn not getting along. Slow down, pull the stitches, and try again. And next time, maybe get a different combo.

Today's subject ... Tension 😬

One of the many signs that something is off with your project is the tension of the stitches. Too loose, and you have gaps where they shouldn't be. Too tight, and you struggle with putting your hook in the next stitch.

Awkward tension can make your project larger than gauge requirements, super important for garments. It can also make your project curl and twist unexpectedly. I experienced the latter in a graph project recently.

When you see the effects of bad tension, take a deep breath (exhale), frog, breathe again, and start stitching.

I bought the lazy readers, and they're awesome! Now, as you can see, I am already sight-challenged, so it's a bit much to have these on top of my glasses.
Additionally, they can make you dizzy with prolonged use. So I did about 15 min of stitching and sat up again. Would you try these?

Today's subject ... Carrying Yarn Up

On some projects I have carried yarn up the side of my work when I had a lot of color changes. It sucks.

The method is supposed to limit excessive yarn cutting AND make it easier to add a border. Neither happened for me. So I will continue to cut and tie my yarn when adding a new color!

Today's subject ... Not Enough Yarn.

Now, this isn't one of those "there's no such thing as too much yarn" posts. This is about when you buy yarn for a project and underestimate how much you actually need.

For example, my temperature project has been on hold since April because I ran out of my accent color. Let me know in the comments if there's been a time you didn't buy enough yarn!
