I DEEPLY appreciate you showing yourself restarting projects until you get them right. As a novice crocheter, you make me feel like all I need to do is try something, think about it, learn from it, and come back better. Thank you for the inspiration!

@caylarivera28042 ай бұрын
Definitely suggest like a merino/cotton or linen/rayon blend if you want something that will drape off you better, and be super cooling to wear in summer. Cotton bamboo is really nice for that too, and like more of a DK weight or a sport weight for the drape factor 🧶♥️

Alas. I started making one of these, and I was like, I shall follow Michelle. She made all the different versions so I don't have to! Awesome, I prefer the long stripe, yes, two rows, and I can do this without having to frog half a cardigan... And by the time I had the arm almost wide enough, I figured I want it shorter. So... I guess I'm going to start a second half... And repeat your mistakes

To me, summer has ended nearly a month ago, because when first chanterelles come, as well as blackcurrants get ripe, that is when autumn has started! But I also live in a place that's covered in snow like 4-6 months of the year, so I can't really speak on when the autumn starts for most. Love this project! I'm currently working on yule/holidays gifts!!

Frogging absolutely DESTROYS my motivation to finish something, and I wish it didn’t. I decided to make a bag for myself for my birthday (bc all of my crochet projects are for other people) and I got to row 42 of 44. Looked at it. My finger had rope burn from the yarn. And I took 2/3 of the rows off to restart it. I’m so happy I did, but it was definitely a hard decision. 💀 but I told myself I’m gonna finish the bag come hell or high water! And this is giving me my motivation back, as always. 💕🫶

Honestly I love watching you troubleshoot issues and work it out, it’s motivating. Also I think since this has a decent percentage of natural fibre in it you should be able to wet block it and stretch it out a bit so it fits the way you want it more.

Honestly, Michelle, that top is adorable! I LOVE how you achieved the vertical stripes down the length of the body, too. I really don’t like horizontal stripes on my body (I’m a child of the 60’s, and I was raised to avoid horizontal stripes at all costs!), so I admire your persistence in developing a method to create vertical stripes. You should release a pattern for it! And, btw, the top looks very nice both open and closed on you! Take care…!

Totoro is such a lil stink! Cats like to bite wool yarn because the lanolin, the natural oils from the sheep, smell like their mom did! That and for attention. 😂 love how the sweater turned out. It was definitely worth all the restarts. Also! I’m not sure if you blocked it yet, but it may grow a little, and cling less.

I’m giving the project a 9.5/10! I think it’s FANTABULOUS but I agree, lighter weight yarn would’ve been perfect. That being said, I also think it LOOKS SO SO GOOD on you BUTTONED or not! It’s VERY flattering!!! I am in love! Thank you so much for being “real” with us and showing the process - all of it; that’s me and always me, lol. It just is really reassuring to see others struggle (& frog) like I do. And the colors?! Chefs’. Kiss. (The buttons, too, of course). Thanks for another wonderful video…I feel like I’m handing out with a pal (or a daughter, I guess, as we have 4 sons older than you are! Lol). Hugs and brightest blessing from Ohio! ☺️🫶🏻🧶✌🏻🧙🏻 xxx
