What the heck does # (symbol) mean

Found a pattern in a workbasket magazine. It references # in the pattern. The key says it represents “symbol” but I’m drawing a blank as to what I should do here. Thanks in advance!

Haven’t been receiving all of my buyers’ offers

I just noticed that I wasn’t notified in my buyer page of all of the offers I have received from buyers. I get some but not all.

I missed out on a $270 sale of a silver necklace along with god knows how many other offers.

I only used the app and didn’t bother checking my email. It looks like I’ll need to check my email every day as well.

Is this par for the course? I’ve only been selling for a year.

Fake vintage jewelry

More and more sellers in the vintage jewelry category aren’t selling actual vintage jewelry. They’re selling Temu and AliExpress.

Some people are okay with it but when the majority of their items are from Temu then it seems like false advertising.

Are there rules against selling under the wrong category?

Best way to mend these straps

I thrifted a lovely linen dress that needs a bit of love on the strap. What’s the best way to mend the straps. Both straps need mending in the same spot.

I was thinking about visible mending to mimic the stitching around the eyelets as that will reinforce the straps.

Appreciate any suggestions you may have!

Ebay resetting lowest offer price

I noticed that several of my listings have ridiculously low offer amounts that I didn’t set.

My clearance price for clothing is $12. I would rather bundle items together and sell 2 things for $12 rather than sell a single item for under $10.

I noticed a few of my items’ lowest offer price is set to $7. After eBay fees and COG, I would only make $2-$3. I’m not a volume seller where this would be worth it for me so I know damn well that I didn’t set the price that low.

Anyone else experience this?

Basic square/triangle construction pattern for free-hand cardigan

Saw this top on a YouTube crime show and while it appears to be a print, I feel that I can replicate it with crochet stitches.

It appears to be constructed of various squares and triangles.

I’m looking for a generic recipe pattern for a pieced together cardigan or tips if you’ve constructed something similar on your own.

I have over 30 years of crochet experience and understand garment construction.

Thanks in advance!

Should I move the horizon up to the top 1/3?

I want to capture the sense of discovery with the trail but not get bogged down in details.

Any tips for simplifying for stronger composition?
