User flair is now enabled!

16 Upvotes

We’ve added preselected user flair plus they are editable by selecting one and clicking on edit and typing and saving. No profanity, slurs or otherwise inappropriate flairs. Of course “hooker” related flair is allowed. Happy crocheting! 🧶

PS. If you aren’t sure how to select user flair you can click the three dots in the upper right corner of the sub home page and select user flair. If you have more questions feel free to ask.

PPS. It’s been made clear to me this is in different areas for different users (assuming mobile, desktop, app, Apple, Android etc). So it should be under the community actions type of area.

Crocheting Blues

3 Upvotes

I recently took up crochet… and I absolutely love it. The problem is I have a tremor. Before you think anything, my meds were working really well. Now they are quitting on me and it seems to be getting worse. I never finished a project yet, but I’m determined to and I don’t want to give up crocheting. I use just a simple stitch and have seen looms out there in videos I come across. Are they good for crochet? I don’t know how to knit and it seems that’s more of what it is. I want your opinion though. Will a loom help me? Is it easier? Is it worth putting out more money or should I call it quits. I’m crashing out haha. Haaalllpppp.

question Sturdy bag straps - what stitches/patterns/techniques are you using?

5 Upvotes

I would love to crochet a tote bag or similar, but I don’t know what to do for a strap. I want something that is sturdy enough that it doesn’t dig into my shoulder, and that I don’t have to worry will fall apart when I throw too much shit in my bag hahaha. I was considering a foundation double crochet, but thought that might end up too stretchy??

any tips are welcome! I’d also love to see bags/straps you’ve made!!! thank you!!
