r/Tunisian_Crochet

So, I found out that starting a swatch of TSS off the bottom of another TSS swatch makes a very difficult to see seam. Sure, the first row of the first swatch is recessed a bit (probably down to my cast-on method), but you can hardly even tell that the Return Passes run in opposite directions between the two halves!

Anyway, given the downward-facing "chevrons" on the upper arms of the Star Trek: Lower Decks uniforms, I really, really want the white line between the other two colours to be a single, basically* unbroken row all the way around the cardigan. Hence why the mitred squares that will form the top of the outer arms.

Working the three sections in a clockwise order (in the picture, front rectangle, mitred square, then back rectangle) has produced the absolute best result in nearly seamless attachments between the three sections.
(after all, TSS attaches to something below it, and to its left in a nearly seamless manner!)

But as you can see, it now has a very sharp point at the base of the mitred square. I have some ideas for how to address that, but need to come up with another way to increase along the mitre line so it doesn't leave a string of holes. Along with some way to gradually start the increases at the base of the square.

If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears! =^.^=

I'm actually rather pleasantly surprised by how quickly I've been able to cycle through my attempts for this cardigan. Here's hoping this one doesn't take two years like my last one! =^.~=

I needed a new bag for work and decided to make one using some Loops & Threads highlighter yarn I bought. Hope you like it and it gives someone inspiration.

I have never done tunisian crochet but I taught myself to knit, crochet and sew with only youtube tutorials and stuff I had at home so I am confident I can figure this out. But what I need help with is figuring out what hooks and yarn I should order since I dont have the material.

I did visit several yarn stores near me but none had tunisian crochet hooks, it's really rare where I live so I have to order online. But I dont know what size. I am not good at estimating hook or yarn sizes and all my projects involve a lot of trial and error. But I dont want to order several hooks and test each out.

I also dont know how much yarn I need so ig anyone has suggestion I will be happy about them :)

I am SO SAD right now because the cable detached from the hook and 5 hours of work unraveled. OMG!! I will never trust the Denise hooks again. Which Tunisian crochet hook do you recommend for me to start over??

I am making a pair of socks using sock weight SW Merino wool/nylon yarn. The pattern is essentially 15 squares in the knit stitch that are all the same size with a decrease in the center of one side of each square. You then have to pull up loops from the side edges of squares you have already completed to begin making a new square to be in between/join those existing squares.

This is my first time making a pair of socks. I don't know if it's the yarn or my tension, or a combo of both, by my first return pass stitch is making it nearly impossible to figure out where in the hell to put my hook. I don't want bulky seams or irritating little blumpy spots & seams all throughout my socks, and I am far too type A to have randomly placed stitches along my seams. What can I do to make my 1st return pass stitches look better so I can more easily identify where to put my hook to uniformly pull up loops?
