TanjaLet's stay with some more Mandalas. I mean, I had to make good use of all those metal rings I bought! :D I still have plenty of different sizes; so I guess more Mandalas are in order!

Gabriel❄️Learning is a process. 🧶These fingerless gloves were my first knitting project. I worked them flat and sewed the sides while leaving a gap for the thumb hold. They're not very fancy and they might not be perfect, but I still love to wear them when I'm playing games on my computer since my hands get cold really easily.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/frenchknit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frenchknit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/frenchknitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#frenchknitter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarn</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/yarnaddict" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarnaddict</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fiber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiber</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/knitting" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@knitting</a>

TanjaLet's talk about blocking your crochet pieces. Blocking is magic and can bring your project to a whole new level. Swipe to see what this snowflake ornament looked like before and during blocking. In this case I was also working with starch, which I don't do for shawls. But it's useful for an ornament. By the way - you don't need expensive equipment to block something. In this case, I used a kids' playmat and some pins. You could also use a folded up towel.

TanjaAbout three years ago I took on the adventure "Elf Coat". It was my first Tunisian Crochet Project and what a learning it has been. The pattern and the resources available from the designer are wonderful and I learned so much from her! The following observations are related to my specific project alone. - Don't use acrylic yarn for a garment. The static when peeling this coat off is unreal. - Don't forget gravity: I'm plus size = more yarn = heavier garment = the whole thing stretches when worn. I wanted it to be at my knees, it grew down to my shins. - Did I mention the static? Seriously, I think that surprised me the most. - Tunisian Crochet is not my cup of tea. But I'm happy I tried it out. - Making a garment as a plus size person sucks, unless the garment was specifically designed for plus size.

Lewis likes to help with my projects, especially if they are soft. This cowl/hood combination sounded like a great idea and it was really pretty... but it did not suit me at all. I looked so ridiculous in it that I could only let BB-8 model it. :lol: Seriously, I looked like a Jawa. But hey, practice and all that, so all was fine and had its purpose. :-) Pattern: Rhea Cowl by Deni Sharpe (DeniMade) Yarn: Woolly Hugs Cloud <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochet?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochetart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochetart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochetartist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochetartist</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochetaccessories?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochetaccessories</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/häkeln?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#häkeln</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/catshelpingwithyarncrafts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#catshelpingwithyarncrafts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/yarn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fiber?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiber</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fiberarts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberarts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fiberartist?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberartist</a>

Linux Is Best2 of 2 - Pervious post was Ethernet, this is Wi-Fi. GoNetspeed gave me a Nokia Beacon 10 router, which is Wi-Fi 6E. My wireless network card is made by TP-Link, and Windows reports it as an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160Mhz. Oddly, when connected to Wi-Fi, my speed test suggests my upload is faster than my download. The only happens with the Wi-Fi (see previous post). 🤔 <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Fiber" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fiber</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/GoNetSpeed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoNetSpeed</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/FiberOptic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberOptic</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/FiberInternet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberInternet</a>

Linux Is BestYou are the cable / fiber internet installer, and you are asked to use the pre-existing drill holes. How do you feel? All these wholes were previously made and used by Charter Spectrum cable in the past. The outside hole goes into the basement, and the inside hole comes up from the basement into the living room. <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Fiber" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fiber</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/FiberInternet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberInternet</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/FiberOptic" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberOptic</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Internet" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Internet</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Cable" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cable</a>

TanjaOh, I almost forgot about this beauty! I used 2 Yarncakes and alternated them; I ended up using about 1824 m yarn. It's a pattern by a polish designer, essentially it's just charts and I was so proud that I managed to make it. Being able to read crochet charts opens up a whole new world beyond language barriers. I love it.

I love the little clouds in the design and the pastel colors of the yarn. Bonus picture of how I block most of my shawls - I stretch them pinned with clothespins on the catnet on my balcony...

TanjaForgot to take progress pictures for <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wipwednesday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wipwednesday</a> , that's why you get a crappy 5am-before-leaving-for-work picture. :lol: This pattern is a pure variation of SC stitches. I can't work too long on it because quite honestly, SC stitches bore me, that's why I am normally drawn to the complex lacy patterns. Nevertheless... the braiding for this one is very cleverly constructed.
