For the 8 ply vs 4 ply question, you'd need the same amount, just a smaller hook and the final product would end up being smaller. Or you could put two strands of the 4 ply together and crochet with both of them with the right hook but you'd need twice the amount of 4 ply as the eight.
Thanks for the answer!
If I have a pattern that requires 100yds of an 8ply yarn, if I were to use the pattern with a 4ply yarn, how much yarn do you think I'd need?
I honestly have no idea. I am absolutely no good at that stuff. I’m guessing you’d need twice the amount, but I really don’t know. Sorry!

Okay, I crochet and sell things out of my home in California. I struggle with one thing though. Pricing. Do you have any suggestions on how I should gauge my pricing?
I try to price mine reasonably, so people can afford them, but still at a price that I think works for the materials and time I put in to whatever item I’m selling.
Sorry for the late reply!
Had a commission on etsy for five Perry the Platypus hats. I really like how they all turned out. Two for really little kids, and three regular sizes. I hope the person that ordered likes them!

My way of preventing eye strain while knitting / crocheting: always watch tv/movies while knitting / crocheting. Forces you to constantly change your focus. Easy and more enjoyable!
Thanks for the info! Hopefully this helps someone.
crochet and knitting. that puts strain on the eyes, right? Is there any way to lessen that strain?
I haven’t really heard much on it straining the eyes, but I would do the same thing to prevent CTS. Take frequent breaks, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
for that pikachu, you need to put whites in his eyes so he looks more normal.
Actually, I originally put whites in his eyes, but then he looked really stupid and cartoony. I’m not really going for “normal” anyway. He’s supposed to be more like a stuffed animal.
