@cupofteasocial #mugshot Good morning lovely people 💕💕 Happy Monday to you all 😁 I had a very quiet Sunday once my chores were done! Then I did a bit of reading then did a little bit of #crochet it's very complicated ATM, so I need full concentration 🤔 Not sure what Monday has in store, I think it's probably going to be another quiet one! Sending massive love and hugs to you all 🥰🥰🤗🤗

#introduction update I’ve had a fascination with computers since ~1993 and a Linux addiction since ~2001. I am a licensed general class amateur radio operator. I love to #crochet and #knit while listening to books. I am obsessed with salvaging tech and giving it new life. I am currently a software developer at Comoto (RevZilla, etc.) working on web stuff with elixir and Ruby as the foundation.

Right then, for the first time this year I’m gonna join in with #FinishOrFrogAlong, because for the first time I’ve broken my cardinal monogamy rule of one #knitting and one #crochet WIP at a time, because reasons! So here’s what’s in progress and what the plan is, clockwise from the top left: 1\ a german short row heel sock. This was cast on because my wife dared me to and I should’ve known better 😅 Anyway, I finished one sock and said I won’t do the other until everything else is finished! 2\ waffle stitch crochet blanket. This is a mindless, work-on-it-when-I-don’t-want-to-focus kinda thing. Aim is to finish it by next summer. 3\ Zelda double knit scarf. This one’s a beast, what you see here isn’t even a quarter of the whole thing. I paused it because I had other things to make more urgently. It’ll be my main project after number 4 is done. 4\ my current main project is this jumper with custom yoke design by my son, based on a favourite album of mine. This has to finish by the end of the month as I want to wear it to a live concert next month! So that’s the plan. Finish the jumper, then the scarf, then the sock, while background crocheting the blanket. No frogging!

If anyone wants it, I can do a step-by-step guide to those queer juggling balls. I'm not good with crocheting terminology though, especially in English. In short: You need 2 balloons, 90g of millet (or something else that has about the same volume), crochet threads in the desired colors (in the picture those are not the correct colors and the "pink" isn't even crochet thread - it's too brittle and soft) and a crochet hook, scissors and a scale. You blow up the 2 balloons and bind them close with some leftover thread and let them hang somewhere overnight, so they wear out. You open them up again and fill one with millet. One balloon filled with millet should be about 90 grams. You may have to blow up the balloon already filled with millet a few times until its filled enough. Now cut the neck of the balloon as well as the other one. Take the empty balloon, stretch it and pull it over the other one like a condom. Now you should have a ball with no millet flowing out. Now to the crocheting. Start with 2 chains and then do a ring of 5 meshes all into the first chain. Close the ring by stabbing through the start of the ring and pulling the thread through both loops, then do a chain to start the new row. Turn the piece around and now do a row of 10 meshes, by doubling each mesh. Each half-ball consists of 11 rows: 5-10-15-20-25-30-35-40-45-50-50 So each row except for the last one you add 5 meshes. So how many rows per color? 3 colors (e.g.: :PansexualFlag: ): 8 rows (5-40), 3 rows (45-50) 4 colors (e.g.: :AsexualFlag: ): 7 rows (5-35), 4 rows (40-50) 5 colors (e.g.: :TransFlag: ): 6 rows (5-30), 3 rows (35-45), 2 rows (50) 6 colors (e.g. :QueerFlag: ): 5 rows (5-25), 3 rows (30-40), 3 rows (45-50) 3 different size rows (e.g.: :BisexualFlag: ): 9 rows (5-45), 2 rows (50) When you switch colors you complete the row with by pulling the thread through the other end, but don't add the chain. Cut the thread and pull it all the way through. Pull both rest-threads of the color to the less beautiful side (inside) and knot them together, making sure not to pull them together too tightly. You start the next row with the new color by doing a chain on the side you ended the last row at and then turn the piece around. If you're finished with the 11th row (half the ball) make sure you leave enough thread (at least at one of the half-balls) to sew them together. Sew about a quarter together before putting the balloon in, then finish sewing. (Okay this turned out way longer than I expected, but it's still just very rudimental - if there is demand I'll do a thorough guide with pictures and try to use the correct vocab - I'm sure chain isn't the right word for example.) #crocheting #crochet #diy #CrochetingInstructions #CrochetedJugglingBalls #CrochetJugglingBalls #CrochetBalls
