Hi. My name is Amber. I am an Ambermainian. [I just made it up when I was 7, and said that it was the term to call the people when live in my imaginary dictatorship (according to my mom) country.] I have been crocheting for a bit over a year. I also sort of taught my younger sister after teaching myself with YouTube. I joined ribblr in January, I just never did anything in the community until may. I used to do 1 or 2 patterns a month before I started testing patterns here. I started crocheting quickly after signing up for tests with no idea I would be accepted, but then suddenly getting accepted for 5 due in 2 weeks. Now, I can do a few a day if I wanted to and it was easy enough.

Fun facts about me:

  1. If you didnā€™t know, my whole house combined has 6 cats, 1 betta fish, 1 leopard gecko, and 1 veiled chameleon. My mom and sister and I am also on petting terms with 4 of the 7 cats that live between our house and our neighbors house.
  2. I play violin. :violin:
  3. I play video games on ps4, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo 3ds.
  4. Iā€™m homeschooled.
  5. I have been chased by a small group of geese, and now I hate birds. I was 8, running across my local park alone because my sister wanted a napkin from the car.

Oh cool! Yeah I had a crochet magazine for the longest time (years) then one day I thought I want to learn how to crochet, and I absolutely love it. I love to crochet every day! I literally learned in 6 ish months (maybe less). I was determined to learn!! Wobbles always look fun!

I learned in a day- NOT trying to compete, Iā€™m just REALLY proud of myself. It always seemed really hard to me so Iā€™m happy that I tried it, cos that led me to this awesome community!

No youā€™re good! Thatā€™s crazy though! At the beginning I literally had the tightest tension and used a to small of a hook and it was a nightmare. The supposed to be hand towel was as tough and unflexible as a brick. No joke. A brick. I persevered through it :muscle:t2:. When I finished I was like wow that was hard and took forever!

Oh no!!! I just pick things up really quickly and then that stuff sticks, itā€™s something Iā€™ve had from birth. Iā€™m pretty lucky, tbh.

Beautiful Ts!

Is Zen a G. pulchra/G. quirogai? I have two decent sized juveniles. I have an adult C. versicolor as well. Such pretty Ts!

Iā€™ll have to get my camera out and get some good photos of my babies!

(I was the lead moderator for The Tarantula Collective for a few years, great group if youā€™re on Facebook! Richardā€™s YouTube channel is amazing as well!)

HIII im Maple!! I LOVE school, nature, crafting, but mostly just crocheting and creative writing. Iā€™ve been on this app for a LOONG time now (since February, this year HELP) and ive learned so much more about crocheting than i ever have! - a little more info about me- Fave shows; Gravity Falls, Moral Orel (dont ask), Gumball, Stranger things, Young Sheldon, and the Big Bang Theory. fave colors; any pure/light greens, purples, neons, and black n white. fave book genres; mystery, historical fantasy, and romance. fave music artists; Odetari, Pinkpantheress, Zach Bryan, and Morgan Wallen. Hereā€™s one fun story about me; One day, at a thrift store, me and my mom weā€™re just lookin for thou treasures that a thrift store may have, and then i let out the HUGEST most LOUDEST burp ever. everyone heard, and i was embarassed. i got yelled by my mom in public, which made me even more embarrased. that was a fun day^^ - earlier on, my mother told everyone in my family. iā€™ll never forget that day. good times<3

Heyy, Iā€™m Dom, best known as Leaf on social media! Iā€™ve been fully crocheting for about 5 months now, and I started doing so to mantain the tradition and legacy my grandma left, as she was fully dedicated to crochet, knitting and sewing!
A fun fact about me is that today I forgot all My crochet tools at home and we didnt have like 1 and a half hours of class, so I just sat there doing nothing lol :sob::sob:
