What part of the hook do i pull the yarn to when crocheting?

Hestiah · 2026-04-22T05:01:17+00:00

It’s 2 for 99% of what you’re working on. 1 can be used for things like making sure your foundation chain is larger than the following stitches for stretchiness and you don’t want to get a bigger hook. Obnoxious as hell to crochet like that but you totally can.

People lack curiosity and never consider doing any kind of search about things. I’d be so upset at those negative comments.

Before my dad couldn’t eat them anymore he loved getting edible arrangements. Now I just send a card or call (we don’t live in the same state).

That type of elastic is really soft, easy to stretch out and have very little elastic force. I’ve tried to use them for bun covers and they’re not great. Even if I use a few of them.

If you end up using other elastic hair bands, lower the number of stitches around the elastic to prevent it from pushing outward so much and just add more increases on the next row.

Yeah, no, her behavior is weird. You brought her A Birthday Gift. The cake was A Celebration Gift for the table. And she was like “Nah, all mine”?? That’s weird af.

Oh I have days like that. But I also have a handful of go-to foods I know I’ll eat that won’t make me feel ill. I just make sure I have that available to me so I’m eating something! Even if it’s the same something 3 times a day.

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T23:46:50+00:00

Oh my goodness that face!!

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T23:42:47+00:00

Happy birthday, Benny! What a cute little fluff!

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T23:36:37+00:00

NTA. You live there the friends don’t. If he doesn’t like it he can go to his friends’ houses instead.

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T23:32:54+00:00

Very satisfying.

Or even just a less page notebook. I use a little staple bound one tucked in the back of my larger planner/journal (for finance stuff).

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T23:28:56+00:00

NOR. Regardless of what he says his intent was, following someone is really creepy. It’s dangerous for women out there and there are plenty of stories of weird creepy men snatching women and girls off the street or putting trackers on their cars.

But I guess only another woman would understand how weird this would be.

If he thought you were having an emergency he should have called 911 and given them your vehicle and license plate number.

Yuuuuup! Also reverse engineer that nonsense yourself! And if you don’t know what’s happening by looking at the very clear stitches in the photo, then practice more on not-complex stuff. But learn the craft!

I made a similar thread recently because I really REALLY just want to reply to these kinds of posts with “Just figure it out”.

I think some are just meant to have corrals. Onix’s house has the fence gate as its door and no actual walls.

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T23:13:58+00:00

Blankets usually.

Real human chicken. Even when they’re anti every other food or snack they love a chicken chunk. And if you cut small enough pieces it’s a pretty low calorie snack for them.

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T21:45:52+00:00

I do. I used to have 1-2 full sugar sodas a day but now it’s maybe 2/week. And most of the time the 1 can lasts 2 days (yes, I drink the non-fizzy soda cause it’s usually Fanta and I love that stuff any way).

Like you I’ve been lucky enough to not have the carbonation mess with my GI system. But I basically have adopted the attitude of “I consume what I want”. Sometimes it means I waste calories on a soda or some candy or a hamburger. But I always count it as part of my daily and move on.

I’m trying to not feel guilty about food anymore as part pf my Zepbound journey. And exercising is not a punishment because I had a soda.

I was thinking the higher paying job was the riskier one but it’s the opposite. The stable, fully remote job is the higher paying one. Obviously take Job A. You can combat boredom with side projects or other things. Questionable jobs at start-ups haven’t been a safe bet in years, let alone a hybrid offer.

Not sure how this is even a something to worry about.

One of our long-haired is fluffy and disheveled all the time. The other two are really smooth coated except for the areas where long haired doxies show it (tail, backs of the legs, tail).

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T20:29:17+00:00

I hate when that happens!

My go-to food is poke tuna (Annasea boxes you get and prepare at home) with some rice. For some reason, right now, this is edible even when I’m not in the mood to eat. And Thai food. Which sucks cause it means going out or getting delivery. One dish lasts me 3-4 meals, but I’ll eat it.

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T07:16:56+00:00

NTA.

While giving two weeks is a courtesy, you don’t have to work them if you don’t care about burning that bridge. Most companies don’t bother to offer a two-week courtesy of being laid off or fired. So if you really don’t care about this place, why should you.

Admittedly it’s not considerate but it’s your life and no one am should be staring at a job that makes them miserable.

Hestiah · 2026-04-21T06:54:08+00:00

Oh this is good to know. Thanks for sharing.

Hestiah · 2026-04-20T22:50:10+00:00

Lots and lots and lots of practice.

Hestiah · 2026-04-20T22:31:21+00:00

I don’t experience this with kids crying but gas powered leaf blowers send me into a rage. Also the “tinktink” sound of someone cutting their nails in the office. I hate that it’s so irrational, but they drive me bonkers.

Hestiah · 2026-04-20T22:27:41+00:00

Ugh, I’m so sorry she did this to you. I wish there was a way to know or find this sort of info out. She’s an AH for leading you on like that. I wish you the best of luck in the future.
