Ask it.

I know there are some crocheters here. Any way to fix scarf where the beginning is wider?

This is my first time doing crossed stitches (double). I practiced a bit beforehand but I didn't do it enough apparently. The first four inches (going to be 60 inches) are wider because of the crossed part https://i.imgur.com/To0g9Ue.jpg. The beginning is a little over 5 inches https://i.imgur.com/Q21Vw2i.jpg. The rest of it is all a little below 5 inches https://i.imgur.com/vZEiaeL.jpg. The beginning also feels different because it is looser.

Is there any way to fix this? It it possible to unwind from the beginning and..."reverse" crochet the beginning so it is the same width at the rest? Or just chop off that part? It is a gift so I would like it to be a bit less awful looking and more even. It is a wool scarf.

Getting stuff off a wall....

Monstrous Bebe cut out letter-shapes from magazine pages and glued them to her wall (elmers or wood, not sure) in a big quote.

Now that she's moved out, that needs to come down so i can repaint in there. Anybody have any low-cost/no-cost ideas about how to get something like that mostly off? The wall is very textured but the paint itself is the kind that I can scrub with a wipe or washcloth and won't come off.

Maybe Goo Gone?

It's really good at removing adhesive from things and because it is citrus oil based, it doesn't smell noxious.
