I'll hang onto them. If they go in the house the pot is as good as broken on the floor. I could probably just drop the pot and break it myself to cut out the middle man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow I think I wouldn't be as productive as you. But I'm glad most of your crop pulled through. That's good, older people tend to visit libraries the most and they don't like to change their routines. One of my libraries is partially closed to the public. We are doing curbside pickup now. I think we are planning on opening latet this month. I still have to figure out Summer reading. I have a felling our numbers will be low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome thanks! I've been using youtube videos so far and even on the videos where they purposely go slow and they finish something simple like a flower in 10 minutes it takes me nearly an hour. But I'm slowly getting it. You should definitely do those videos, I'd watch them and learn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discolé monade Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 that's really good! looks like you're doing a dc stitch. did you use a 'magic ring'? if not, might i suggest doing a magic ring, then doing a sc inside the ring (6 around) then doing your dc inc around (12) what do you plan on doing? i have a pattern for 'curtains' that use flowers if you want. super easy, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video I used to make that had me start with a magic ring, then after that it was treble crochet and single crochet. So far I haven't really thought much about what to do, I figure I'd start with "easy" things like that flower to get the hang of it and work my way up to eventually be good enough to crochet myself a beanie and or a scarf by the time winter is here. It's dumb but I want to be able to say that the comfy thing I'm wearing is something I made myself. That's my main goal overall I guess. I'd love to give that a shot 😁 I may need to order more yarn though, I underestimated how much these flowers required and bought too little 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new_disease Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Awesome, thanks! and that explains a lot, I bookmarked a page that had some neat and simple looking designs around October last year because I originally told myself I'd learn crochet during winter break of school (and my lazy ass didn't) and last time I tried going back that page wouldn't load anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want a full sized one with weighted keys like I did, then that'll cost you 😭 Dude if you make an account on duolingo let me know if you want to "compete" on there. I re-downloaded the app to learn French but it's hard getting the motivation to keep doing it. It was easier when my cousins were on there and we followed each others accounts to see how many points we earned a week and tried to one up each other. But then they gave up on it. As for the guitar you should give this website a shot for free lessons. https://www.justinguitar.com I learned from there before I took advanced guitar classes in community college a few years ago. For paid stuff udemy.com has a bunch of guitar courses you can buy for $20 or less when they go on sale. Also fender has its own courses through fender.com/play if you'd rather do paid lessons from a known guitar company.
