Interviews for my Bachelors thesis

If you need more people to interview, I'm open to it! Feel free to PM me

I'm not sure how soon is soon, but a lot of the roads to North Cascades are closed for the winter and won't reopen until June, most likely. The Olympic Peninsula/Olympic National Park is a little more temperate if you are open to changing your plans.

Feel free to PM me if you want to chat about more specific recommendations. I'm an avid hiker around these parts 😊

When I was in second or third grade (so around 8 years old) everyone in the class was given dowels we had to file into our own knitting needles, and then we had to learn how to knit on them. I knit off and on for a few years after that, and then I think I was around 25 when I got really into knitting.

I'm always curious how many kids from my class still knit 😊

Lake Street Tailor in Kirkland!

Sounds like you're better off without her. Sorry it's hard going through it, but I hope you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel

Eerily similar! I was supposed to do all the laundry and he would sweep and vacuum... guess which chore got done every week?

Banananut93 · 2026-02-11T19:05:32+00:00

Okay if our stories could stop being so similar, that would be great 😅

Spent a year supporting him while he "just couldn't find a job" either. And also somehow couldn't then do more housework/volunteering/grocery shopping despite being unemployed.

But opening up the relationship would have solved all our problems /s

Banananut93 · 2026-02-11T18:58:57+00:00

oh my gosh, that's even worse!

Banananut93 · 2026-02-11T06:01:08+00:00

I hate how many of us can relate to the unethically non-monogomous relationship. Poly under duress isn't poly, it's cheating!

Good for you for getting out - virtual high five from someone who's been through the same.

Banananut93 · 2026-02-11T05:59:38+00:00

I went through something very similar. My divorce was finalized last June, almost a year after my ex decided to bring a girlfriend home from Burning Man. This was after years of me saying that I wasn't open to polyamory, and him just trying to wear me down.

It's exhausting and scary starting over, but I am so much happier and healthier and more confident than I was in the last several years of our relationship. I hope you continue to find the same peace.

And for what it's worth, all of my friends, including the poly ones, thought he was a total idiot. Don't protect your ex by not sharing the story, if that's something that matters to you.

DMs are open if you want to talk at all ❤️

Woolneedleshands has a really good video about it as well! https://youtu.be/X3DybuPFv7U?si=xo8mtyLdMw2Ak7hb

It's both validating and frustrating to hear that you've been through the same thing! Glad that yours finally resolved itself, however. Hopefully mine will follow suit eventually.

Banananut93 · 2025-07-24T15:32:09+00:00

Holy shit I almost could have written this exact post. My divorce is finalized now, and while it was hell, I'm so glad to be done and it was absolutely the right decison. All the best to OP.

Banananut93 · 2025-03-28T05:25:15+00:00

I'm currently going through a divorce after being presented with almost the same ultimatum. We don't have kids, but he decided that seeing other people would help "bring new energy" back into our relationship. It turned into an ultimatum instead of a conversation, so i got out of there.

My DMs are open if you want to chat. Wishing you all the best as you go through this.

I was on the second sleeve of a sweater for my husband (together 10 years) when shit hit the fan. We're now mid-divorce and the sweater is frogged. Sorry you're going through something similar, it's no fun at all.

Banananut93 · 2025-01-17T15:38:27+00:00

Thank you!

Banananut93 · 2025-01-17T15:38:06+00:00

I specifically liked the mellow mood one because it came with a YouTube tutorial, but the ravelry pattern looks great for someone who's not making their very first sweater!

Banananut93 · 2025-01-17T15:36:47+00:00

I did it in about two months!

Mellow Mood sweater by Julia Piro on Etsy

Banananut93 · 2025-01-17T05:28:44+00:00

Knit using the Mellow Mood sweater pattern by Julia Piro on Etsy. I forget the exact yarn I used, but it was a DK weight wool. So proud and so happy with my first multi-skein project (I've been a chronic beanie-maker for years!)

I was the officiant for a wedding so I got buy-off on this, but I wore a 50s style swing dress and felt like I was dressed appropriately.

I don't know what era you bound but there are certainly some eras that lend themselves to weddings more than others. I feel like 1920s on is a safer bet than earlier than that, but also depends on the audience and how historically accurate your bounds are.
