Thank you so much for your help! May I ask, do you see any way to achieve the patterns gauge with 8sts x 6rows on 4"x4" with 6mm hook? It says with front loop stitches, does that actually make a huge difference? I did make a test patch, but had double the gauge size (16sts x 12rows). Now, it looks nice this way, but after using up a whole skein to estimate the needed yarn, I realized it would actually be more than ~210€ worth of it, which just seems so much to me 😅 but that's why I'm asking, I have actually no idea how much is usually needed.

Thank you so much! Yea unfortunately they don't ship to my place : ( that's like my main problem, I can't seem to get the recommended yarns here. But from what y'all tell me the wool price is about what I have to expect for this project! (and the aran yarn I found isn't much cheaper really)

Tho I have to admit, I have decided to go for a different cardigan now, one that doesn't need as much material 😅 I've used up the wool skein I had to see how much I can make with it, and it turns out I would probably need more like over ~210€ worth of yarn (damn that nice looking floor length hahah). I want to get back to it later tho, when I'm more confident in my crocheting knowledge and have a bit of money on the side!

Thank you for your good luck wishes! When I finish one of the cardigans, I'm happy to share here!

Thanks a lot! It's an idea for a Blades in the Dark character, haven't thought too much about their backstory yet other than they are Tycherosi (people often seen as strange and demonic) and that they probably dealt with death and corpses in the deathlands (preset area from the game). Might think more on it later/make it an independent character!

Didn't know the game but I see the resemblance! Might be a bit biased, but love the design hahah

Someone has mentioned this as well! I'll definitely do some more research on how to do that kinda stuff because I really like that concept!

Will check them out, thanks!!

That looks great too, thank you for sharing!

This is awesome input, thank you! I'm very inexperienced at hiking, but Walk Highlands looks great to search for easier paths and still get to enjoy it. I'll definitely have to up on my hiking gear

I haven't quite figured how to get around the place yet, but a bus tour like that honestly sounds great for someone like me who's really bad at driving hahah Thank you for the suggestions!!

They all definitely would look nice together! Love how colorful those sets are

Thanks for the info!

Yea I feel like Windows is making it even ten times worse... I didn't test it with linux unfortunately! One guess would have been that Windows 11 is the issue, but I didn't dare to install Windows 10 in fear of losing the right to return it (not much of an expert in that field haha). I just find it a bit weird, my old Asus (Win10) gets loud easily too, but there I am able to throttle it down to stay quiet if I only need it for office work. With the new notebooks none of those tweaks had any effect, sadly (except for Windows becoming a slideshow...)
