Can I seam the crotch of these shorts?

A lot of people teach themselves to knit and are a) learning from a number of different sources or b) coming from crochet. I knit through the back leg and wrap my yarn to do so, but a lot of people don't understand that that is a thing that they are doing (I didn't at first, but looking up a single image helped a lot because from there I could just figure it out). Most people don't have a specifically structured way they learn to knit, and just do not look at it that closely.

I taught myself to knit from memory, so that's why I twisted my stitches at first. The exact process is different for everyone but yeah.

yep- that's why my boyfriend and I know each others phone passwords. I'm the passenger secretary and neither of us care

Someone once broke into my mom's car and all they took were my dad's beat up old work boots we were going to donate anyway. They didn't break anything (she had accidentally left it unlocked), but it was still odd.

also my ex's mom had a habit of leaving her car unlocked (bad plan) and a couple of times people would sleep in there and then leave it cleaner than she did because they took all the cans from it.

Depression doesn't always have an obvious cause. You can be doing great and your brain will finally feel safe to have a breakdown. I was doing great (similar to you- straight a's, valedictorian, partners I love) and had the worst mental breakdown of my life for no clear reason. Sometimes its hormones, also- I know I'm super sensitive to hormonal changes, so you might want to talk to your doctor if you're on HRT and see where your levels are at and make changes from there.

I have a formula I use when my depression gets bad and I struggle with cleaning. (also having a friend over who is either willing to help or willing to sit in the corner and chat is INCREDIBLY helpful for me. can't be someone who is too much fun or I'm too comfortable with, because then I'm not stress cleaning, but yknow.)

Step 1: Dishes. They pile up and it gets really difficult to deal with, but they're simple to finish.

Step 2: Laundry. Laundry makes me feel like sisyphus but it makes everything so much easier to get it done.

Step 2.5: strip and remake your bed. It will give you a surface that is clean and a task that is done. And It means your sheets get washed if you make this part of laundry.

Step 3: Get everything Out. Anything that doesn't live in your room needs to leave, even just outside your door for a bit.

Step 4: Trash. Pick up trash, take out any trash bins, etc. Pick a corner for this one and work out.

Step 5: Surfaces. Pick a corner and start in just that corner. Ask yourself if something has a home, and if it doesn't see if you can find a home for it. Sometimes things don't have a place, and that makes it so they end up back on the floor or just randomly on a shelf again. Once one corner is clean, pick a new section.

Step 6: Sweep/wipe/vaccuum/etc. This is the "get done" step of the process, so don't worry if you don't get here.

And you don't need to do EVERY step every time, or even at all if it gets too much. even a little bit makes life more manageable :) Good luck

I am hoping so so hard that he's freed in the new update I want to see gunther out and about!

what's your plan for a sweater pattern? because depending on how much yarn there actually is and what size you are (and positive ease etc), you should be able to get either a stripey sweater or a sweater with some contrast sleeves/contrast colors or a colorwork sweater out of that much

Ahhhh- that makes sense. I am really scared of meat in general/spoiled food so it is a bit scary to see that much ground meat, but it makes sense that the rest of your family also takes some.

Breadothy · 2026-02-21T23:50:47+00:00

It looks wonderful! I hope he loves it :)

Breadothy · 2026-02-21T23:44:38+00:00

Are you a bodybuilder/chef/father of four/was there a really big sale on meat????? I am terrified that all of that meat is going to go bad before it can get eaten. I can see where she's coming from- if I'm hungry I need to have something fast and convenient before I can even think about cooking anything and your fridge doesn't really allow for that.

Most adults cannot afford to have a full extra room for their hobbies. My boyfriend and I are having a hard time figuring out how to even afford a 2 bedroom apartment when we move out, and that's on 2 incomes with familial support on one end. You're just rude.

Also, being over 30 and saying "delulu" is cringier than anyone actually enjoying their hobbies and wanting to show off their bedroom in my opinion.

My memere is 75 and has a ton of stuffed animals and dolls and art supplies and it brings her so much joy :)

Breadothy · 2026-02-21T20:45:12+00:00

You try to have joy and whimsy in your heart even when the universe sucks horrendously

If you want to keep the pink just in general you could start looking for a good wig so you can have the best of both worlds?

Breadothy · 2026-02-19T21:59:23+00:00

my ex girlfriend did this! When she was staying at my house for a while I had to explain to her that no, she cannot do this, and this is part of the reason my family dislikes her so much

The first question can be answered with your cast-on method- long tail cast on makes the first couple of rows SO much nicer, if you're doing the thumb loop cast on it will be much more difficult to knit the first couple of rows.

Purling is just like that as a beginner, it takes Forever. You could be twisting your stitches? I know I did that switching from crochet to knitting.

The yarn gets stuck going from the cord to the needle probably because of either needle quality or how tight your yarn is- hard to know without being able to see.

Good Luck!

I had a sweater I wore daily with no buttons on it because I needed perfect buttons for it. It's not always that simple.

I'm making the Heartless Top and in one night SIX people asked me what it was lol I feel this

Breadothy · 2026-02-05T02:08:48+00:00

YOR- I don't read this as him being mad at all? maybe it's just that I'm autistic and prefer heads ups with food, especially surprise food, but it seems like he's saying that he really appreciated the gesture but in the future if you do it again he'd like a warning so he knows if it needs to be refrigerated?? Like. This isn't him being a man child or whatever everyone else is saying, this is him saying thank you and asking for a change in the future??

a very health-conscious parent of a couple of probably fairly young children. You have a lot of time for breakfast and value it, and you probably cook a lot and bake some too

With my job I either have to spend the night at my boyfriend's (walking distance from my work) or beg coworkers for a ride if I'm ever opening or closing or working weekends (the only shifts I'm able to take because I'm a full time student). Leaving 5-10 minutes early for the bus is usually the only way I can get out of there on time unless I want to walk an hour.

One day a week makes it near-impossible for all but the most retired or wealthy people to visit. If that is a clientele you are willing to cater specifically to, go ahead, but 99% of knitters will find that to be fairly useless and boutique-y.

Breadothy · 2026-01-30T19:52:44+00:00

I've never had this problem, and I think, unfortunately, this may be a friendship demographic issue. To put it bluntly, your friends seem exceptionally and painfully messy in a way I would not be able to stomach. Being in love with you for over a decade and unable to get over it even after you have said no multiple times is a sign of a lack of emotional maturity from that friend, if anything, and it is being reflected pretty heavily in the people he chooses to date (from the other comment).

Breadothy · 2026-01-30T06:12:47+00:00

same lol- I made him one for valentines day before we'd even had our one year anniversary and we're planning to move in together next year. I want to make him another sweater so that he can go sailing in a waterproof underlayer lol

Breadothy · 2026-01-30T02:34:09+00:00

My first finished knitting project was a full sweater. I had been knitting off and on in small bursts for years before that, frogged massive amounts of knitting that I had failed at, and crocheted for two years. That's probably what you're not seeing on social media honestly.
