Hello to everyone !

I’m a semi-beginner crocheter, and I’m currently working on this cardigan inspired by these patterns (I’ll be using buttons instead of bows, so there will be room for a buttonhole). I made a body panel by measuring a T-shirt that fits me well, making it slightly wider, which means the seam of the panels will be slightly shifted toward the back (but that’s a problem for my future self).

The goal is to do sleeves directly onto these straps and extend them all the way to the wrists. Should I definitely do a modified drop sleeve (like the ones explained by Dora Does) ? Is it better to make them separately or start directly from the shoulder strap? If I start from the strap, are there any pitfalls I should watch out for?

Thank you very much and have a nice day !

Hi ! Sorry if this is all over the place, I’m going round in circles. This is the third pair of jeans I’ve bought on Vinted, and the third with bloodstains in the crotch? Seriously? Why?

It’s not even just a yellow stain here (if it had been washed, that would have been mentioned – why not?), it’s a proper bloodstain.

I don’t even know what to do with them – whether to wash them and keep them or send them back. How can you sell something with blood on it and not mention it in the listing ("very good condition", my foot)?

Seriously, should I just resign myself to the ‘jeans curse’, accept it and try to salvage them (using Marseille soap, etc), or should I send them back?

Thanks a lot in advance ! I feel helpless in the face of this situation and this lack of respect, which seems to be becoming increasingly common on the platform.
