For my second Sentro experiment, I used 43 pins to create my panels but I also crocheted horizontal bra cups for a fusion piece.   I made the panels 70 rows long, which in hindsight was a bit long for a top that has crocheted bra cups already.   I’d say the pin size is okay but there is some bunching so it could be better with a slightly smaller pin number.  

Currently I’m on a mission to improve my circular machine knitting skills, mainly to make more Sentro x crochet pieces for the summer. 💕🌞 Unlike crochet, it’s hard to figure out sizing for panels you’ll need on the Sentro as you go along with the project. I feel like measuring items on the machine isn’t that helpful (or I’m doing it wrong, lol). So I’ve been practicing making top panels with a different number of pins to see what my ideal fit is (for a UK Large) . For this post, I’m looking at my 35-pin attempt. The pink is pretty; however the panels were too small T.T In hindsight I probably should have blocked them but considering I used DK yarn it would have made them almost see through…. Instead, I decided to create a 2.5 inch wide crochet panel along the sides of each Sentro panel to make the top fit properly. I got a bit overexcited and decide to create a vine tapestry pattern for this, to add a bit of pizzazz . 💖 Was it cute? Hell yes! Did the thick crochet pane...

Following on from my earlier post, I decided to put together some colour block charts and tapestry graphs for other queer Star Trek fans to crochet their own versions. Here is an example of one quick graph I put together. If you'd like to see more Star Trek Flags, check out the FREE pattern on my Ko-fi! https://ko-fi.com/s/9ee6f88462

Happy Pride Month!  Technically, I'm a bit late posting this midway through June but better late than never.  As both a sci-fi aficionado (nerd) and chaotic bisexual, I cooked up this pattern on Stitchfiddle probably over a year ago after having some leftover yarn in the appropriate colours. I believe this was after making my Bisexual butterfly crochet top for Pride.   I'm putting this pattern out for FREE for any fellow queer star trek lovers to enjoy. https://ko-fi.com/s/d5d20caaac FUN FACT: Jake Sisko, the son of the best StarFleet Captain (Benjamin Sisko), was born in San Francisco on 12th June 2355.

Anyone that knows me, knows I love love love Jojo's Bizarre Adventures. Took me a hot sec to vibe with it, but it's so bizarre and random, it's hard not to love.  If you haven't watched it yet and love anime, you should definitely give it a go. The symbol in this tapestry is a symbol for "menacing", used often in the manga/show. I made it in the signature purple and if you look closely you can see the surface crochet I did over the tapestry piece to help it pop. It was the perfect addition to the fandom wall I've slowly been building over the past year or so. You can get this pattern for FREE on my Ko-fi, linked below: https://ko-fi.com/s/5edffd3163
