I'm going to be Princess Luna for Halloween. When I saw this sparkly yarn I couldn't help but buy it... After quite a few hours of experimenting and brainstorming, I made these. I haven't seen anything like it, so I figured I'd do them as a "made to order" option in my shop for anyone who's a fan of miss Luna. ^^ ---now if only I could find this yarn for a cheaper price o___o
ever need yarn, fabrics or whatever looked up lemme know... I spend HALF the stinkin day staring wistfully at thread, yarn and fabric wishing I could afford the material... or had ANY idea how to crochet right. I have gray and yellow yarn for a Derpy and... I tried to crochet a chibi with my test yarn.... the result was a... well my boyfriend called it a pinky warmer... for the 2 year old
Okay! Awww lol...Well, what seems to be giving you trouble? Making up a pattern? Or the actual stitches? I taught myself how to crochet about 2.5yrs ago, so I've messed up many times along the way lol.
Honestly I sell my stuff to pay for the materials. I have a horrible habit of buying everything I see that I like (and will probably never need). XD I have a whole room devoted to my craft supplies!
I have 3 kids so its the stitch counting... mostly. But my mind also seems to race ahead like 3 steps so my ball... looked like a light bulb. I put it over my head but I think it was blown
Ah I see... I use stitch markers a lot they REALLY help. One at the beginning of the row, then another halfway through (a different color) if it's a long round. My mind is always elsewhere so I have to have points that I can go back to if I forget what I was doing. lol.
Yeah, to mark the beginning of each row/round I use ones like the teal and orange ones at the top left of this picture> [link]
You can use things like paperclips and safety pins though. Or get neat ones on Etsy you just need to make sure they are locking ones (aka you can open and close them) and not closed rings.
><
and here's a wholesale yarn site. [link]
you should be able to join it for your yarns... might be cheaper (I dunno, I dont have a shop.. do have a name though lol)
I'll have to look into those :3
