David Tennant!

Yes!

BTW, where did you get the pattern from for the David Tennant Portrait? I usually create my own type portraits/fiber art wall hangings, etc, but it is a lot of work.

A friend made it for me. That’s pretty cool, I wish I could make my own fiber art patterns, but I can’t use image editors to save my life.

Please mom, stop calling me a lazy ass.

esacosailegal:

If you knew how hard it is to maintain good grades in 4 AP classes you wouldn’t hassle me this much. Let me relax during Winter Break please because finals will be upon me when I return to school. And it’s not like I’m not doing nothing right now, I’m doing Winter Work and doing College Apps.

And please don’t say that I’m not your responsibility anymore and that you’re doing me a favor by keeping me.

I might not do physically hard work but mentally I am and it’s way hard.

I completely agree! This semester I got virtually no sleep, because I had to juggle a bunch of Pre-AP/AP classes. Mom, please just let me watch movies all day, and crochet, because there is no way in hell that will happen next semester. This is my only chance to actually have a life.

HEY DO YOU ANY OF YOU CROCHET CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THESE DIRECTIONS IN MY PATTERN

R3: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *Sc 2, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (24 sts)

like i get past the 18 sts but then i go to count two in each for 24 but it’s more than 24?????????????

I would suggest using stitch markers to keep track of your rows.

Hi, I saw your stuff. I think it is amazing! I just had a few questions. Do you know how to read crochet directions? How did you learn? Was it easy?

Thanks! I sure do. I basically taught myself. The only way to understand patterns is to know the stitches, and start from the easiest patterns to the hardest. It’s always difficult to begin, but once you get the hang of it, it really becomes a lot simpler :)

Here's A List of Yarn I Bought Today (From The Previous List)

 

Aran

Black (I might need two skeins)

Buff

Cafe

Coffee

White

Warm Brown

Chocolate

It pains me that the store did not have any warm brown and that I had to settle for something else (something I didn’t really like :()

Final WIP Update

Yay! Finally done!

Thoughts:

The Good - It looks amazing on me! Can’t wait to show my friends. 

The Bad - It’s a little tight around the shoulders, but I really don’t feel like fixing it right now. 

Yippie! On to the next project!

I think you will fold B to the opposite corner on C where you will sew them together. Then you will do the same with A. Hope I’m being helpful :)

About 90% done (yay!) All that is left to do is sew everything together and add some more ribbing.

Just wanted to tell you I <3 this, but that is the one thing I could never figure out which is how to make a sweater. :) So kudos to you.

Haha, I’m actually using a pattern and lots of help from a lady who made the same thing :S

About 70% done. Still have to finish the other shoulder and make the sleeves.

To the crocheter who needs help with the pattern, I would really recommend going to You Tube and looking up video tutorials. I've done that many times, just watching over and over and copying the stitch until I got it. ♥

Yeah, I already recommended a video :)

Sorry, didn't quite understand your answer. I'm a basic girl. Actually I don't even really know the basics. Someone showed me how to single crochet, and from there I've been able to come up with my own stitches. This is what my cousin said. Also, so, could you dumb it down for me please? Increase stitches?

Can you double crochet?

To increase, you basically single or double crochet into the space twice (if that makes any sense). 

If it doesn’t, then I think this video would be great help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc1T1Qbi_rk
