My First Plush!

I’m not a huge fan of making plushies. I love them though so I will occasionally make them as gifts. However I am a huge fan of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I saw this guy posted on Lion Brand’s page and I knew I had to make him. Yarn is Lion Brand Just Like Bliss and I’ll link the pattern below!

Filled Mailer for $25 Shipped

All yarn is from previous sale posts on this subreddit. This is what is left over! I will fill one 11”x14” Poly Mailer with yarn (mostly acrylic and acrylic blends A few wool blends. Nothing super fancy) for $25 shipped in the US. Mailer will be all the way full and I’ll do my best to match colors for you!

Edit: I can also do larger cardboard boxes (20”x8”x6”) for $75 shipped! They hold exactly 3 mailers worth of yarn!

Thin Cottons similar to Hobbii Friends 8/4

I know it’s been asked before but I’m not finding what I’m after in the sub. I have a gift certificate to Hobbii that I’m avoiding using (US based and not a fan of the AI stuff) but I haven’t found anything similar to their 8/4 Friends cotton here. I’m dying for more to make gifts for the upcoming Christmas season. Do I bite the bullet and order some or is there an alternative in the US in the same weight? All suggestions I find are thicker.

Uses for Worsted Variegated Acrylic Yarn Scraps

I knit and crochet beanies to donate to a local organization. I use mostly I Love This Yarn Prints as it is usually the most cost effective yarn off the approved list (I stock up when they do their semi-annual clearance sales at Hobby Lobby). This has left me with tons of leftovers in colors that just do not work together. I am not a huge acrylic fan for myself but I want to use up the 1/4 skeins I have leftover from making these hats. Does anyone know what I could make with them? Most colors have less than 1/2 leftover (less than 50 yards).

Need help selecting a perfume scent I’ll actually wear.

Hi there! I’ve been after CryBaby Perfume milk for years. I know it’s re-releasing eventually and I have dupes for it, however I’m trying to find something else from Portals Parfums. My go to perfumes for daily wear are Burberry Her and Lush’s Pansy Solid Perfume(I layer these). What could be similar in style to those? Thanks!

Yarn Subs for Furls Wander

I checked yarnsub, they do not have this one in their database so I am asking around.

I am about halfway through a very large blanket made entirely out of Furls Wander yarn. I have enough yarn as of now, however I am worried about the boarder. I think I will have enough however I am looking for similar yarns just in case. I'm including the Ravelry listing for the yarn but I am hoping someone would know of something that looks and feels similar, in a similar or identical weight. Thank you!

Why is it always a mystery plague before a vacation.

Excuse my rambling. Fevers and no sleep here. I’m out of town for 4 days next week. Kiddos decided last Thursday was an amazing day to projectile vomit and gain fevers. I was off Friday because of it. Off Monday due to whatever that was becoming a head cold of sorts over the weekend and parents caught it too. I went to work yesterday. And now I have a fever too. I feel like it’s every time I have plans at this point some new plague shows up!

Rye Sock Sizing for Larger Male?

Hi there! I am currently working on my first pair of socks (started knitting in January to learn socks after crocheting for years)! I’m using the Rye pattern from Tin Can Knits and I really love it so far. My fiancé wants a pair in the same pattern. He even went out of his way to pick and purchase yarn for them. However, I’m having an issue with the sizing. He wears a size 13 shoe and the width of his foot is greater than 8.75” (which is what the large in the pattern is written for). How would I go about increasing size on this pattern for him? Thank you!

The more in your face your directions are the better as I’m still definitely learning as I go. Thank you again!!

Is it worth it to have 5” interchangeable needles alongside 3.5”?

Hi there! Asking another needle question while I figure this all out.
I now have Lykke needles in both 3.5” and 5”. I prefer the 3.5”. Would there be a reason to hang onto the 5” ones or would I be okay to sell them to someone who would use them? The smaller needles just work better in my hands I have found, and while I can use the 5” ones, I reach for the 3.5” every time.

Lykke Flight 3.5 in. Mini Set as a trade for Lykke Flight 5in Mini Set

Just putting this out there to see if anyone would be willing to do this before I buy myself another set and post the 5” ones. I have a brand new set of 5” Lykke flights but I have found I like the 3.5” needles better. Looking to trade the 5” for 3.5” if possible. Looking for ones in good shape as mine are new with no use (just opened and put into the case). All parts too please.

Can someone explain to me how this thing works?

I know the older model read grooves on the records but these ones don’t have the same thing! How would the newer model work? I’ve asked Google. My toddler is dying to know how it works and I try to explain things as accurately as I can. I’m stumped on this one.
