Decreasing sleeves help!

Decreasing sleeves help!

I’ve constructed a yoke-down square cardigan and now it’s time to move onto the sleeves, however, the tutorial I followed doesn’t have any instructions for sleeves! Previously I’ve made baby cardigans which just decrease at the beginning and end of each row as it is worked into the cardigan - would it be the same for an adult one until I reach desired size?? Thanks!

Is it me or the yarn?! Lion Brand Mandala Yarn!!

Is it me or the yarn?! Lion Brand Mandala Yarn!!

I'm trying to learn the puff flower stitch. The only yarn I can practice stuff with is this Mandala yarn by Lion Brand.

I'm trying to do 4 single crochets and then go into the first one to make a circle. But oh my God the yarn is so tiny I just can't do this??? The stitches are either so anal I can't see where to put my hook/it's too tight, or it's so loose that when I start my double crochets it's just messed up. Idk what to do lol.

Is this yarn just too small or what?? I'm using recommended book size, 5mm. I tried 4mm, 4.5mm, and 5.5mm and it's all the same problem. Is it me or is this yarn just too small for this stitch??

Thanks!

Complex issue

Complex issue

So, I really want to make my boyfriend a sweater, but I'm kinda having some issues. Issue one: he mainly wears all black, but has said he would 100% wear whatever color I would use because it was something I made. His favorite color is purple. I have no idea where to start with color choices lol. Issue two: I can't find a sweater pattern anywhere that looks like something he'd wear. No cardigans or vests, nothing "posh" either, he's kinda...grunge-ish I suppose. Hoodies would be a plus but not required. Any help at all would be amazing!!!!

Stars? Feathers? Both?

Stars? Feathers? Both?

I'm wanting to make something for my bestie, but not sure where to start. Stars and feathers both mean a lot to her, but I don't know if I should be super obvious and go with those shapes or more subtle and use a combination of star stitches and feather stitches. What do y'all think?

Also, kinda new at this and haven't mixed stitches a whole lot, so how would I put those 2 together anyway?
