Fun. Hilarious. The chapters are definitely longer than what I can see so far with "What If?", so that's a point to "How To?" in my book, but there are subchapters if you need them. If you enjoy science and xkcd's sense of humour it's definitely a great read.

    Hey, what a coincidence! I'm reading "What If?" too haha. Started reading his books with "How To?" since I wasn't sure if these two were for me (and if I wanted to buy it when there's a channel), but I'm hooked.

    Inny komentator może mieć rację. Jakie masz w ustawieniach zaznaczone języki? Możliwe, że część komentarzy na szmerze ma ustawiony język na polski, a część nie.

    Ja żeby zobaczyć komentarze pod tym postem z konta lemmy (mander.xyz) musiałam zaznaczyć język polski na liście -- żeby mieć kilka (np. polski, angielski i Undetermined/nieokreślony) to przytrzymywałam Ctrl i wtedy klikałam w opcję

    Thank you!

    Looking at two articles I'm not sure it'd count as mosaic crochet since I only worked into the last round, never* the round before that. I think it's just a colour change?

    Sometimes I carried the unused thread all the way, sometimes I crocheted it in for the first stitch or two of using a new colour and then left it to grab later (this makes it so there's free thread going through the middle). This applies to the stripes on the tail, too - it's just starting and ending the second colour in different places, no working into rows already worked into.

    /*aside from whatever that was once or twice when there was a big enough hole ;')

    Here's a view from the top. Most of the body was just continuously crocheted curved (dec on one side, inc on the other), then I sewed it up a bit to hold the shape I wanted. It's kind of short for a snake, since its length was mostly depended on the belly colour which was (at the start) 1 used, continuous ball and 2 balls of scraps, but I'm happy it got as far as it did anyway ;)

    Somewhat short blue snake amigurumi curled up (slinky-like). Top view.

    Title!

    I'm currently making a Venipede stuffed toy - it might be a bit wacky, but it's mine ;) (it also makes me oddly oscillate from "that might not be enough yarn" to "I have a lot still, let's add another row!")

    I also recently (or semi-recently?) made a Tokay gecko plushie from a modified version of a pattern by Ellie Skene - not sure if mbin/lemmy is gonna let me link it (please note that the pattern written out is in UK terms, so "dc" is single crochet for the US terms crew!)
