Home of the Tunisian crochet "Stitch of the Week" series started right here on Reddit on August 8 2020! Tunisian crochet is a craft that uses longer hooks than standard crochet hooks. It makes a thicker, spongier, softer fabric than normal crochet.

2024.05.20 06:04 Villanuevac4 Diamondbacks: F-14B Tomcats In Another World - Part 3.5
Author’s Notes:
Finally, I’m back yet again! I finally got the time to write this wonderful little story project again; Senior year of high school has me super busy. I’ll be leaving for Air Force Basic Training in early June to go be a 5th Gen Crew Chief, so expect a roughly 5-6 month hiatus until I can keep writing.
I also got a PS2 emulator running on my PC, so I did a playthrough of each of the three Ace Combat games featured for that console, as well as 7 and Project Wingman. In later parts, you’ll definitely be able to tell the inspiration I got from all of the games.
I forgot to mention this in my last part, but last year I was able to head to Norfolk and see the USS George Washington in person, which was really cool. Writing about it is one thing, but actually getting to go on it and walk around was another experience entirely.
This part was kind of hastily put together to give you guys something to read, since It’s been way too long since I got a part for you. Once I get time after BMT and Tech School, I’ll continue and eventually finish off the story (If I can fit it in between doing MX stuff all day). Story wise, this part is just a setup for the massive port raid that will happen in the next part; I’m planning 2 more parts after that to finish off the story. Overall this project’s been fun, but I have to cap it off eventually.
Happy Reading!

“Alright, settle down, settle down.”
All the members of VF-102 quickly stopped talking to each other and looked towards the front of the room.
The CO then pulled down the paper map attached to the ready room wall. He pointed to the large port city that was slightly inland and surrounded by topographical marks denoting mountainous terrain on all sides.
“Before we can hit their fleet in port, we have to get through their coastal defenses.”
The CO pointed to a narrow stretch of water on the map that opened up into the large bay.“
“The kingdom we’re up against were smart with their port city positioning; they have an island in the middle of this strait with a heavy stone fortress on it. From the imagery we were able to collect on it, the fort apparently acts as a naval defense platform for their main port city. In conjunction with the strait, it’s a perfect defensive position to lock down entry and exit into the bay. We’re going to hit the fort today before we hit their fleet early tomorrow.”
Each pilot and RIO nodded in understanding.
“We’re sending four of you up as a two-ship strike package alongside VFA-86. Those assigned to hop today are going to get MK83s with Snakeyes to do the initial strike, and then the Hornets are going to mop up with some Mavericks and Rockeyes. The rest of you flying today are going to run the usual CAP up along the coastline.”
The CO gave out crew assignments for the fort strike package, which included Type and Wizard in Diamondback 110, and another Tomcat crew in Diamondback 113.
“The fort island is roughly Alcatraz Island-sized, so four MK83s rippled should be sufficient enough to crack the outer walls of the fort. Just be careful, as we don’t know if they have any Triple-A or not. Other than that, you guys are dismissed. Good luck out there.”
Type and Wizard hopped up and headed out of the ready room with the other VF-102 pilots and RIOs following. They weaved through the narrow gray halls of the carrier slipping past Sailors while hanging onto their flight bags and helmets.
…
As the evening sun shined down on the carrier deck, Type walked up to the Plane Captain waiting next to Diamondback 110.
“Hi, how’s it going?”
“All good sir, we just pulled the pins and the Ordnance guys just finished up fitting on the Sparrows.”
“Perfect, let’s get rolling with the preflight.”
The Plane Captain nodded, and got to work doing the final preflight check alongside Type and Wizard.
…
After the preflight, Type and Wizard both climbed the ladders to the aircraft and got seated. Both of them fit on their Woodland camouflage-covered helmets and flipped down the dark visors. Type ran through the comms check with Wizard, and started up the aircraft.
After the aircraft was started and all the systems were good, the Sailors on deck pulled out the cart connections and drove it away. Wizard dropped the canopy, and the Director in front marshaled them out from their parking spot.
…
Lining up on Catapult 4 behind 113, Type watched as two of the VFA-86 F/A-18Cs on Catapults 1 and 2 were tandem launched with the other two Hornets waiting behind the blast deflectors. Type brought the Tomcat through the catapult connection process, with the Shooter signaling him in.
…
Both Shooters for 3 and 4 signaled for engine start right as both blast panels were raised. The Cat 3 Shooter knelt down and sent his arm forward, followed by the Cat 4 Shooter.
113 was sent from the deck first, with 110 following soon after. Wizard gripped his handlebars as the Tomcat rattled with the catapult launch, while Type applied backwards stick pressure as soon as the Tomcat left the deck. He quickly pulled the gear switch up as well, rolling left with 113 right as the gear doors sealed.
…
Coming high to Angels 6 at Mil Power, both 102 Tomcats formed up with the Hornets that had CBUs equipped; Sidewinder 402 and 406. The other two Hornets with Mavericks on their wings, Sidewinder 404 and 411, caught up and formed up behind them.
The six-ship traversed north at 450 knots before reaching 5 miles out from the fort.
…
Before they descended in, each aircraft engaged their Master Arm switches and readied up their ordnance. 404 and 411 warmed up their Mavericks, while 113, 110, 402, and 406 each readied up their bombs.
“Warden, 113, Master Arm on.”
“110, Master Arm.”
Type had ‘ORD’ indicated on his HUD, with the impact point cross displayed on the lower end.
In the back, Wizard flicked the weapons station switches for the centerline pylons on and rotated the bomb selector to the ‘Ripple’ setting.
“Scope’s clear, hit the deck and ingress. Cleared hot on target.”
“113 Roger, goin’ in.”
Diamondback 113 pitched down and broke through the heavy cloud layer, with each aircraft following. Each of them reached roughly 500 feet off the water’s surface and leveled off. Sidewinder 404 and 411 split left and right to line up their Mavericks.
Right before they encountered the fort, each pilot noticed a large stone bridge spanning the length of the bay with 113 doing a full 360-degree right roll as the flight passed over it.
402 and 406 slowed down ready to lob their Rockeyes up and into the fort, while 110 and 113 made slight adjustments to line up with the west and east wall lengths of the fort.
Popping up extremely low over the fort’s walls, the Tomcats started the strike.
“Ready for drop….Shit, that’s flak!”
On the walls of the fort, cannon operators quickly tried to react to the airstrike by raising their flak cannons towards the incoming aircraft. Some of them opened up, creating thin stretches of black flak puffs around the four fighter aircraft rapidly approaching.
113 made it over the western wall stretch and dropped their four MK83s, which opened their fins and slowed down behind the aircraft.
With a small delay, Type pulled the trigger for weapons release. Both him and Wizard audibly heard ThThThThunk come from the underside of their aircraft.
“Pickle, Pickle, Pickle!”
…
On the top of the fort walls, archers and flak cannon operators watched with fear-filled wide eyes as large green cylinders with fins slowly came down on them. They accepted their fate as they detonated on impact, blowing stone everywhere and collapsing the wall sections. Ammunition dumps in the walls detonated with a chain reaction, causing even more destruction.
…
The pilot of Sidewinder 404 finished up locking his target on the island; a large naval cannon reminiscent of an Ottoman siege cannon. Looking at his MFD, he noted the lock indication for his Maverick and hit the weapon release, calling out:
“404, Rifle, East Cannon.”
The AGM-65F ignited and slid off its rail with its optics focusing directly on the massive naval cannon, impacting it a short time later. Soon after, a Maverick from Sidewinder 411 impacted the large cannon on the west side of the island, blowing it to bits.
“Shack Cannons, 404, defending Triple-A…”
…
The other two Hornets pitched up into burner with both pilots attempting to line up their HUD CCIP markers on the center of the fort.
As they popped up, the flak started to get more intense. Both pilots pushed into burner to drop quickly.
“406, Pickle!”
“402, Pickle…”
The CBU-100s detached from underneath the Hornets, coming in an upwards arc over the fort. Each bomb split open, releasing a large amount of smaller bomblets which coated the fort’s central structure. Anything or anyone in the blast radius was now dust.
“406, egressing-”
As Sidewinder 406 split left, the Hornet flew through a flak burst and took structural damage. The cockpit was penetrated by metal shards, impacting the pilot in his left arm and torso. He also took hits to the left end of his helmet, with his visor becoming cracked.
“Shit, I’m hit!”
…
Type and Wizard listened over the radio while climbing up back over the clouds with the rest of the aircraft, getting more and more concerned as 406 seethed in pain. Each aircraft was able to egress successfully, but Sidewinder 406 was trailing smoke and was starting to have engine issues as well.
“Warden, 406…..Took a hit…”
“406, Warden copies.”…
Warden relayed the information back to the controllers onboard CVN-73, who scrambled the Crash Teams for the hit Hornet. Sidewinder 406 was brought to the front of the pattern, and lined up for a trap. Getting the most assistance out of his aircraft systems as he could, he successfully put down the Hornet with a 1-wire while fighting his bleeding and severe pain.
A tug quickly pulled the Hornet out of the landing area, allowing the rest of the aircraft to trap. As the canopy raised, the Crash Team Sailors in their silver firefighting equipment pulled the injured pilot out, who was clutching his bleeding shoulder.
…
As Type and Wizard trapped and taxied off of the wires, they looked at the empty and damaged Hornet sitting off to the side.
“Man, hope he’s alright…”
“Yeah, too damn close today.”
They parked their Tomcat, and shut down the aircraft.
…
In the ready room, the CO went over the HUD footage from 110 and 113 for the debrief.
“That’s a mission success, we took out the fort and we have an open path for the port strike in sixteen hours. The only issue is, one of 82’s guys was hit during the strike. Thank God he made it back alive; it would’ve been bad had we lost him out here.”…
With the naval fort down, CVW-1 has a clear opening into the enemy kingdom’s main port for their anti-shipping strike. The injured Hornet pilot serves as a warning for all of them:
This conflict won’t be an easy one.

2024.05.20 05:24 KoRoLu Out of commission
 | Maybe not so much a rant, more just feeling down about the situation and no one else to vent to that gets it... submitted by KoRoLu to knitting [link] [comments] Today a dog bit my hand pretty badly, two deep wounds between my index finger and thumb. Went to the ER and have to meet with a hand specialist next week due to a tendon being involved. Was kind of a whirlwind of a day, but now that the dust has settled I'm feeling pretty bummed out about not being able to knit for awhile. I knit during meetings at work and almost every night for some amount of time so kind of just feeling like "now what am I supposed to do?". Guess I can always look for more patterns. 🤷♀️ Current WIP is the Waffle Sweater by Knitting for Olive using their mohair. I was so looking forward to it as it's the first sweater I was actually making for myself and the most I've ever spent on yarn for a project. I did take a break from it over the wknd to jump on the emotional support chicken bandwagon and maybe good thing bc I might need the support now! Anyways thanks for reading, hopefully I can get back at it soon. |
2024.05.20 05:16 SquishyToast_withJam Any recommendations?
Do any of you guys use a nursing pillow for support while crocheting, I have hemiplegic cerebral palsy and a friend in my disability support group suggested I try one to take some stress off my joints because i crochet by holding hook steady and manipulating the yarn around it so i get S T I F F. Do you have any recommendations?

2024.05.20 04:53 minipool3 My First Crochet Fred
 | Hey all. I’m an autistic with epilepsy and with long Covid. I started to crochet 2 months ago when I caught Covid again. I was trying to challenge my brain so the brain fog damage can be mitigated. For 2 months, I was stuck from making magic loop (I pulled working yarn too hard and it all became undone), and then round 2 and moving of stitch markers. With seizures and brain fog getting me disoriented, I struggled to keep the count or just think the process through. submitted by minipool3 to theWoobles [link] [comments] Anyways last week or so, I finished my first project! The woobles was very kind as an autistic, I have sensory issues and couldn’t watch instruction video for too long, the staff members helped me with email exchange. Very grateful. They showed me how to move stitch markers and where by me sending in the picture of where I’m at, then they editing picture drawing where stitch markers need to go and where next stitch go. I am still struggling to find perfect tension, so I’m practicing on making Fred again at the moment. After that, I got rainbow Fred, so I’ll be making that to give to my nurse friend who took care of me as I struggled with recent Covid. I’m still not quite sure about how much tension to put to easy peasy yarns, but hopefully I’ll get used to them? |

2024.05.20 03:37 Ok_Ad1730 Starting locs with small box braids?
 | Hi guys, I'm new to the world of locs, and am trying to work out the best way to install these. I tried crochet instant locs, but my hair was too fine, and they all fell out. My loctitian has suggested we braid human hair into my own, in a pattern that will look similar to small box braids (pics of the inspo above). The plan would then be to let the human hair loc, retighten and palm roll it when needed, and hopefully in two or three years time, have matured locs. This works well for me, as I am interested in cultivating my locs to maturity. Does this seem like a good idea? The hair I'm braiding in is 100% human. Thanks guys!!! submitted by Ok_Ad1730 to Dreadlocks [link] [comments] |
2024.05.20 03:16 Crystal_LovesPasta Best yarn for baby gifts?
Hello there! My sister is having a baby soon and I want to crochet a plushie for the baby. My problem however is finding the perfect yarn. I want something bulky, around weight 5-7, but also something with a super soft, almost fufuzzy texture. I really like the look of faux fur yarn but it's quite pricey.
Any other yarn suggestions when it comes to baby gifts, that also isnt bernat blanket (I personally think it's texture is atrocious)?

 | My Mother-in-law is staying with us for a while. She decided she wanted to pick crochet back up and wanted to knit the Outlander-Inspired wrap by Sheepberry Crafts. I'm primarily a knitter and a novice crocheter, but Row 1 of this pattern makes absolutely no sense to either of us. submitted by KimmyKnitter to CrochetHelp [link] [comments] Can anyone spell our exactly how to do this? I'm reading it as "Main color, chain 3, double crochet 2, chain 2, double crochet 3." But there's no foundation row, no instructions to turn, etc. Do we chain 3, turn, then do the rest of the row? Any help you can provide would be very, very appreciated. Here is the full pattern, which is free on her website. https://sheepberrycrafts.com/2023/04/15/outlander-inspired-wrap-shawl-free-crochet-pattern/ |
2024.05.20 02:03 flyflylikea_bird Any suggestions on making this look more like a bison and less like a cow?
 | I’m making a cuddle and play blanket for a friend and hoped to modify the cow pattern to make it look more like a bison (making it brown, longer horns, and smaller ears). But I’m afraid it still looks a little cow/longhorn-like. Any suggestions on small changes I may be able to make? submitted by flyflylikea_bird to CrochetHelp [link] [comments] I debated finding dark brown fluffy yarn to add a coat but haven’t had luck finding yarn in the right color in my budget and that would be quick to arrive. Maybe changing the nose color to just dark brown? I also have some black yarn and could do a black nose. |

2024.05.20 02:00 bvdew My 4th Amigurumi Project: Scheepjes Catona Yarn is a Game Changer!
 | After struggling with stitching using another yarn, I turned to ChatGPT for recommendations. It suggested Scheepjes Catona, and I bought some from LoveCrafts. The difference is incredible! The mercerized cotton’s shine makes my project look so clean, and I can see my stitches clearly. Plus, my Etimo Red 2.5mm crochet hook slides in effortlessly, no more stabbing my fingers on tight stitches! Have you tried this yarn? What are your favorite tips for amigurumi projects? submitted by bvdew to Amigurumi [link] [comments] |
2024.05.20 01:49 certifiedhTer Anyone know a pattern for this crochet top? Or what stitches to use in general
 | I’m trying to recreate this top but it just looks off.. I started the center with 20 dc, then I did 2 dc in each stitch for the 2nd ring, then a row of single crochet to try and make it look more like the picture. But the pink row in the picture looks more like a treble crochet but idk… What I need the most help with is creating and connecting the petals! submitted by certifiedhTer to crochetpatterns [link] [comments] |
2024.05.20 01:43 Hungry_Mammoth4235 How do I decrease this stitch?
 | So I started this cardigan using a *sc, hdc, dc in same stitch, sk 2 method (not sure if it has a name) and I can't figure out how to decrease it now that I am to where I need to bring it in a little bit for arm shaping (crocheting flat). submitted by Hungry_Mammoth4235 to CrochetHelp [link] [comments] Any help would be appreciated! I'm kind of a beginner, but I can read a pattern, so if you can write it out I'll get it ❤️ Thank you! |
