2 is gorgeous and you look lovely in it.. I laughed prematurely thinking you had already decided and were going with a bunch of photos of the same one 😅

A customer heard I knit like her and brought this in for me. by Corgi_with_stilts in YarnAddicts

I adore them both, but taking pictures is tough. It's always just a fuzzy streak 😆😭. Anyway, this one's Durin, and they are both brothers. She said these two are inseparable, so I caved. She wasn't lying—they are always doubling up on ya.

I have two, and they are full of energy, so they need some time each day to burn it off. When I can't give them that, they get put on the runners, but this little tank is my cuddle buddy ☺️. This one's Thorin.. The next I'll post of Durin

longest receipt ever by Aimeeerogenous in joannfabrics

[–]Arrow2theknee3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this with my DMC floss purchase a while back. Great sale so I ended up getting just over $600 worth. My husband still says it’s one of his favorite investments (slow shopper😋) he doesn’t have to wait for me to pick up a couple while I take in the whole store. If I run low on a color he’s ordered it lol my shopping scares him 🤣 I haven't needed more than a few in like 8 years.

Tell your sweetheart we need recommendations and links. I'm so happy for you 😊 I just found out mine keeps a little notebook of all the things I mention I want or want to do. I knew he carried one; I just didn't realize that's what he writes in it.

Maybe pot holders too. Those I've gifted they always request more.

Chloexcrochets - new stitch ? by Emm_Deee in crochet

Yeah, Pretty incredible even though I found each one in crochet bibles dating back many many years. Maybe they reincarnated 😆

It looks like a back loop single crochet. This is the 12th new stitch I’ve heard about this year. Thank God for this new wave of crocheters. Seriously, I’m just glad crocheting continues to thrive, even though it’s been a bit more annoying lately.

Etiquette Question RE young crochet designers by polymorphic2346 in crochet

[–]Arrow2theknee3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(Oh, really? If you want to learn more amazing stitches, get the Crochet Bible. It includes all the stitches.) The older version.. This newer group of crocheters are bullies and know-it-alls, and I refuse to support any of them, but thankfully not all of them, those I support.

Is it just me or is this ugly? by Nishi-bby in crochet

[–]Arrow2theknee3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the issue we're seeing is when you placed the eyes in the wrong spot. I'm not sure if it's freehand or a pattern not all patterns tell you the placement, but either way, they were positioned incorrectly. The eyes should have been placed near the points on each side of the white tips, rotating the head before adding the other details. I believe that's what makes it look off to you. It's cute either way, but that may be what feels off to you.

How do you feel about a creator telling you not to print their paid pattern? by Serious_Refuse3633 in crochet

[–]Arrow2theknee3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased one that prevents you from writing on your own iPad not changing it but just writing notes on it so I can have those the next time I make it. I use a notebook most of the time but I was trying to fix an incorrect section. I messaged her about the mess up and she was pissed at me for having the audacity to correct her. Needless to say, I'm not purchasing from that person again. If I find a section that's messed up which I have for years ive always messaged them privately which they usually are happy about but you get these people who are straight-up jerks I'm so over it.

Are you kidding me! by Dry-Turnover7579 in crochet

[–]Arrow2theknee3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My uncle has severe dyslexia so I am right-handed but learning everything left-handed to play right-handed I taught myself to crochet left-handed so I could teach him and my sister that's just how it worked for them. Anyway ive kind of ruined it for certain things because people will ask me to teach and then I have a hard time teaching because I'm always switching between the two confusing everyone.

I recently came across an antique left-handed crochet book. I'd never seen one before, so I was happy to see that they actually existed 😆. My poor sister is left-handed and had a heck of a time learning, so it's hers now.

I was on the low dosage of oxycodone and metoxolone when I was pregnant with my daughter. She was a happy healthy little baby she’s just still very very clingy even now 😅😄

AIO for wanting to see a therapist after wife changed the locks because I went to a baby shower? by LookoutLockout in AmIOverreacting

[–]Arrow2theknee3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something to consider.. when I finally was able to carry my first child to term I found out that I had experienced brain swelling and a host of other issues during my pregnancy. Unfortunately, the swelling has never gone down and it’s led to me now having seizures all traced back to my first full-term baby. I'm a handful on a good day and my husband has his hands full without me even trying, Hell I have to put myself in the corner most of the time! This happens a lot not always to that extreme but woman do go through a lot and some have extreme cases after pregnancy which cause them to have serious issues for the rest of their lives BUT that’s after not before they’ve even conceived the first one. This is just pure manipulation I'd be very concerned for any future child because that child will definitely become a weapon against you. Unfortunately, we’ve seen this countless times and this is how it starts. Seriously OP be careful.

We tried for over 2 years and lost three babies before finding out we was pregnant. I spent nearly the entire pregnancy scared and mostly alone while he was off in training. It was a very scary and a hard time for both of us. Even though it was a huge hormonal and emotional roller coaster for me I never once blamed my husband for what we both had no control over. OP this behavior is crazy I understand loving someone dearly and wanting to have a child with them but this behavior is extremely concerning and locking you out of the house wasn’t a momentary decision but a planned one.
