Question
hookinghippie32
Hello my beautiful crochet Gurus!!! I will introduce myself to you below my question so it doesn't get lost in my ramblings! I'm excited to be here!
I have started a pumpkin basket pattern and the top calls for a piece of cardboard or craft rubber sheet to line it under the stuffing. I want to be able to wash it so cardboard is out. Is rubber sheet the same as those thin foam mats that you can get in a million colors at the craft store? what exactly am I looking for? and how firm does it need to be? I feel like a floppy thin foam mat won't keep the roundness up top instead of in the bottom of the lid but then again I'm still a greenhorn with crochet. thanks!!! ps for reference the pattern I'm following is the pumpkin basket from Ravelry by Hannicraft
My name is Kate and I am a fiber arts enthusiast with a new love for crochet! I first got my hands on a hook years ago when I was in a fiber arts program that mainly focused on weaving but the course required me to try many fiber arts! I had a short assignment with crocheting that sadly left a bad taste in my mouth but did teach me some basic stitches. (I hold stress in my shoulders and locked up my work pretty quickly. Making my 3 tiny samples was a nightmare to complete on time) In 2020 I had just moved to a new city 5 hours from my hometown and had put my crafting in storage in my old town until I got my own place and had space..... lockdown happened only a few weeks after I got settled with friends. I was going crazy and my roommate suggested I get an easy startup craft and I remembered crochet. all I needed was a hook and yarn and I would be set! thank goodness for youtube and time! Now crochet is my therapy and winding down!
I look forward to spending time here!
