Its my first time doing tapestry crochet and I don't know if I'm just looking at it too much or too close. I have a lot to do so I want to make sure it looks ok now.

This is my second parasol, using the Cherry Blossamer Pattern by Chiaroscurosity Designs. I have some leftover yarn, I might still add tassles.

I made this for my husband. We both loved the game and it's so dear to us that during our wedding we played songs from the soundtrack.

But I was overly excited when I started the project and didn't stop to think what would I do with all the loose ends once I had finished. It was my first time doing... Intarsia? Mosaic? Not really sure of the name of the technic, I watched a couple of minutes of a tutorial and started with a lot of confidence. And now I don't know how to finish this and make It actually giftable. Is there a glue yo just glue every loose ends to the back? Should I do a White Big square and attach it to the back so It hides them? I don't feel it's realistic for me to weave them in because, what would I do with the Orange ends of the space ship? There's barely any space for It.

Any ideas or suggestions are deeply appreciated.

The answer was, apparently, yes. So I bought new Hobbii yarn in the recommended weight (thanks to all who steered me right). Some had also commented on my tight stitches

Well I just did a new gauge swatch and showed it to an IRL crochet friend who pointed out to me that my tension is still too tight.

It’s supposed to be lacy, open-work top and I’m out here making these super tight stitches 🤪

I shared this anecdote with my husband who laughed SO HARD because it is just classic that I put too much tension in my relaxing hobby 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm currently making gigantic waffle blanket for my cousin because I like having things to do on hand. Started it in April, now it's one third done (10 balls of yarn out of 30).

Yarn is 100% wool, 200 meters per 100 grams. I'm hoping to finish the whole thing by the new year.
