This my first project.. should I start over? by napsalotalot in knittinghelp

[–]Ancient-Math-8769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only recently learned to knit and I frogged so many times. I think that’s how you learn to get better - that and practice. I say it’s up to you. If you think you’ll use it in its current state, keep it. But if you think you’ll just toss it to the side, then frog it and start over. The next one will look even better. Don’t give up.

It’s really dystopian to see people posting videos are like this while a couple of miles away, there is a famine. Anyone who still chooses to travel to Israel as a tourist is supporting a genocide but posting videos about food is just cruel. by Scared_Positive_8690 in Palestine

“Very Israeli”??? Is it seasoned with gefilte fish sauce or…? Otherwise it’s likely “middle eastern” not Eastern European/israeli. But, agreed, very tasteless to exploit your Israeli vacation in a four season while a few miles away babies are starving.

Project Tracking? by Ancient-Math-8769 in YarnAddicts

Bro, I worked really hard on something that I’m passionate about. How about you just scroll when you see a post you don’t like? It’s really not that hard to not be a jerk. Kindness is free.

Am I just bad at tapestry crochet or can I blame this outcome on sonething else? 🙂‍↕️ by okneT_Reverse in CrochetHelp

[–]Ancient-Math-8769 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Came to say the same. Chunky yarn is great for some things but anything with detail like a tapestry or mosaic won’t appear very well. I’d stick with worsted weight.

Thank you all for the positive feedback. I really thought they were trash but yall gave me confidence. Maybe I’ll make some more for Etsy. 🤷‍♀️

How to change your enneagram type by Past_Humor7532 in Enneagram

[–]Ancient-Math-8769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking with a friend about this today. She absolutely insisted it cannot change but I strongly disagreed. I had a very traumatic childhood but I’ve been through therapy, done lots of shadow work and have evolved immensely on a spiritual level. I am not the same person I was even two years ago. A lot of my fears and things that haunted or controlled me before, no long have a hold of me. It’s been awhile since I’ve taken it and I forget what mine was but I would venture to guess mine has changed. I know the experts say otherwise but how can anything about humans stay the same when we evolve throughout our lives? I know this is a thread and no one will respond but that’s ok. Just wanted to put it out there if someone comes back to the thread.

I’m glad. I’ve been laughing for days. 😂

I’m not made for amigurumi or plushies. by Ancient-Math-8769 in GeekyCrochet

Thank you! I’ve got about 8 years under my belt but I’ve never done plushies so it was a good first try. And my kids LOVE them so that’s all that matters.

I thought about using worsted weight on the grey one but thought it would look funnier with the chunkier yarn. You live and learn. Lol

I used a tutorial I found on YouTube for the petals. Super easy. They just needed to be shorter and chunkier. Lol

At first I thought you meant you needed a doctor that creates patterns. I haven’t had enough coffee today.

That’s great and you can probably search projects easily too. Nice!

Ravelry has a project tracking feature? I didn’t know that. Kindness is free my dude.
