Pattern Testers Needed!!!

Hello fellow crocheters! I have been requested many times on here and other sites for some patterns of my work. Well, months later, I am finally getting around to it. XD I have made a lovely pair of pants and the pattern is completely original. I would truly appreciate if someone would be willing to test it out so I can start publishing it online! Please let me know if you would be interested in testing this pattern out!

Best Temperature Blanket Pattern?

Best Temperature Blanket Pattern?

Hello! I'm still relatively new to crochet but have been able to create some decent blankets. I'm working on a 2021 Temperature Blanket following Fiber Flux, but I'm already a little burnt out by all the tiny squares.

However, I have decided that I'd love to make my parents a temp blanket for their anniversary. I'd like to do one based on the year they were married, and time is on my side for when the gift is due.

I'm curious what pattern you find to be the "easiest" for this type of work? A simple double crochet and each day is a row? Do the average monthly temperature instead? I'm looking for something that once I get started goes pretty quickly and perhaps doesn't involve too much continuous counting.

Thanks so much!

Is it weird that I’m proud?

Is it weird that I’m proud?

My 16-year-old daughter started crocheting a few weeks ago. She’s been making a variety of small objects with some cheap yarn I let her use when I recommended Bella Coco videos. Last weekend she went shopping with friends and picked up a large skein at Savers and a small, partially used skein that her friend had sitting around the house.

Then, a few days ago she was looking in our storage area for buttons to add to her most recent project (a mug cozy) and discovered a box of unused yarn - 9 skeins of various colors (lovely colors, by the way) that according to the handwritten label on the box was shipped to me in 2015. I have no memory of receiving this yarn and the mystery as to why remains unsolved. She was ridiculously excited about this and wrote a letter to the person on the return label to see if we could figure out who they are and why they sent me a box of unused Impeccable (Michaels brand) yarn.

This morning she grabbed a skein from the mystery box and a hook as we walked out the door so she could crochet between rounds at her speech competition.

And this afternoon when we were at Walmart, she used her own $ to buy, yes, more yarn.

I’ve created a monster.

What are your favorite projects worked in the round?

What are your favorite projects worked in the round?

Between ADHD, type 2 bipolar, pregnancy, and my husband and two sons, I find myself really struggling with following patterns and completing projects. The things I've done best lately have been very small projects but I'm getting bored with that too. I'm hoping a really interesting in-the-round blanket or something similar might help alleviate the monotony. Or if I get bored with that too it can just be a baby blanket.

The yarn I'm planning to use is a 3 weight, variegated, light colors. Some of it is in yellow and white and green but I also have a few pink-purple-grey selections. I like the way these color collections work together and I might be willing to stripe them in an alternating pattern with some similar solids? I don't know.

Granny square blanket: Continuous or sew together smaller squares?

Granny square blanket: Continuous or sew together smaller squares?

Hi all!!! I'm crocheting my first blanket and I am making 1 continuous granny square blanket. I'm using way more yarn than expected so I am wondering: is it more efficient (as far as yarn usage) to make smaller granny squares and sew them together? Or if the blanket is the same size, is it the same amount of yarn regardless of which way I do it? I know there must be a logical reason I am not thinking of, or some mathematical way to figure it out too but I figured I'd ask here first! If the smaller ones are more efficient, I'll do that on my next one. Thank you!

My self-drafted pattern is very similar to someone else's. Is it ok to sell my own?

My self-drafted pattern is very similar to someone else's. Is it ok to sell my own?

Ok, I've recently hit a bit of a moral conundrum. I wanted to make an Easter Egg bunny but couldn't find one in the size I wanted, so I made my own. (literally an Easter egg with bunny ears) It is super cute and was really fun to make, and was my first time ever making my own pattern. It turned out amazing and I'm considering putting my pattern up on etsy or ravelry or somewhere to sell. I also did the same with a granny square. I wanted a coloured circle with a white square around it, for a baby blanket.

My problem came when I shared my patterns with a few people who also crochet. I was excited and wanted to share my first successful patterns. One of them immediately accused me of stealing part of a pattern for an Easter bunny amigurumi made by another person, altering it, and passing it off as my own. And then pointed out my granny square was exactly the same as another granny square pattern out there, just bigger. I looked at the patterns I was accused of copying (I had to buy it to look at it, but it's a cute bunny so I'm happy!) and my egg bunny is almost identical to the body section of the Easter bunny amigurumi. It really is just an egg shape, it's not like there is a whole lot of ways to get that exact shape, and that's all that is similar. Everything else is completely different. My granny square is actually exactly the same just a bit bigger, but again it's not like there are a lot of ways to make that type of granny square, and I have no interest in selling that one. It's a granny square, it's nothing special. But now I'm worried about stepping on other people's patterns or being seen as a copycat. I intend to try making more seasonal stuff and selling the patterns, but if they are similar to others....

Is it ok to sell my own patterns when they are so close to ones made by other people? I don't want to do something wrong and it bothers me that people might think that I copied a pattern when I didn't even know these patterns existed before my friend told me, and have been working hard at making my own unique creations.

Recommended hooks

Recommended hooks

I currently use the Susan Bates crochet hooks and I LOVE how pointed the ends are and the actual hook is deep enough to really grab the yarn versus so many of the more rounded inside ones. Are there any recommendations of a hook similar to the Susan Bates but more comfortable to hold?? I know there are a few made with rubber handles but I’d rather have a set than buying one hook at a time
