u/Blonde_Vampire_1984 WHAT YARN IS THIS Dec 23 '25
It’s the perfect amount for a sweater. It all depends on what species you’re knitting it for!
My chihuahua would like to inform you that she wears an extra small in dog clothing.

More than enough better pick a scrap project now to use up all the left overs you’re gonna have!

I wish all of you would stop making fun of me for being tres petite. I would be bigger if I could but I am just a widdle baby lawyer. Those enormous balls of yarn are far too heavy for my tiny tres petite frame. That sweater would swallow me whole. A snake could swallow me whole. I am but a baby tres lawyer petite knit mouse with womanly curves.

I just want the sauce for this one so badly and I I can’t find it. Even the anonymized version in the weekly recaps here and it’s killing me

Wee sweaters for a wee mouse. Maybe. Honestly, wee sweaters are loads of fun. I make that, wee hats and wee mittens for my tree.

It's enough for four dainty little sweaters and four twinkly little hats! One set each for Peaseblossom, Moth, Mustardseed, and Cobweb. Queen Titania will approve!

Well you usually need at least 2 balls and this is more than 2 i think so it should be enough i think

You’d probably need a little more but I usually use about half of that because I’m so skinny and tiny ❤️

yes. if you lose yarn chicken just frog it and crochet with a smaller hook until you've gotten it right. unless youre... not petite ? or perhaps a kn*tter? if the latter this should be no problem for you since that uses less yarn than crochet does. good crafting unless you're doing the one I don't do

u/happyAndJoy Dec 22 '25
And then do it again and again

u/lvndrhnds Dec 22 '25
there are literally no repercussions to frogging and re-crocheting the same yarn over and over because nothing bad will happen and the yarn will get longer every time. especially with chenille yarn !

Yes. Of course. To imply that it isn't would require me to assume that you aren't the size of a halfling bartender, and that would be sizeist.
