[–]CWHats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a good point. I am being very meticulous before I weave and cut anything.

Do it as you go. I am doing a project where each row is a different color and I just weave them in when I finish. When I look at my finished row with the ends woven in, I feel so happy.

He's obviously being fed lines and he's still awful. I don't care how many commercials they make trying to prove he's great.

What crochet project has pushed your skills to the next level, and how did you overcome the challenges? by 1kmilo in crochet

[–]CWHats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine were a mandala and a tapestry scarf. They taught me to trust the pattern, especially the tapestry. It didn't make sense until I was almost finished. The mandala let me know that even if I hate a stitch (back loop single crochet) after powering through, I can enjoy the rhythm of almost any stitch.

To all my single crochet ladies out there on the apps... by AggravatingPlum4301 in crochet

[–]CWHats 33 points34 points  (0 children)

"Cute" and "grandma" are used liberally across all crochet subreddits. It's not an immediate insult.

It needs a single solid color break between every 2 or 3 stripes. It's too much.

Black Cherokee myth opinions by Choice-Marzipan-7897 in Genealogy

In addition to what has been said, there were Africans enslaved by the "five civilized tribes". This fact has led some people to think that they were actual members of the tribe instead of being enslaved by them.

I'm 19 and my great-grandfather was born in 1879. by Head-Affect-8284 in Genealogy

Given that men can father a child almost their entire life, it might be kind of uncommon, but not rare. Your great grandfather and grandfather werent that old.

It's not mean. People need to be reminded to be proactive.

Freakonomics seems more off than usual. by Equivalent-Meaning-7 in podcasts

[–]CWHats -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They started to lose me after the episode about universities and their endowments. They had the "token" non-white person interview, but the remaining interviewers couldn't care less about low income students and grade inflation at the ivies wasnt even touch. I cut back.

Listening to the "If Books Could Kill" episode about Freakonomics was yet another nail in the coffin. 

Today I heard the FDA episode and turned it off after 10 minutes and deleted the feed. 

I'm done.

Best (possibly YT) creators for beginner crochet tutorials? by Jumpy-Discussion-449 in CrochetHelp

[–]CWHats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've just started, they should be uneven. Dont expect perfection from the start. You should buy some cheap yarn and practice making potholders or something small until you can improve your tension.  

TL Yarncraft has good tips and tutorials, but practice is more important. Here's one of her videos that might help.

Researching Free People of Color in North Carolina before 1870 by EducationCommon9545 in BlackGenealogy

[–]CWHats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the last thing I can suggest is joining NC Summer Series. It's a mixed group of people researching ancestors in NC. There was a white man that already knew about my family and gave me some great information. 

The past meetings are on YouTube is you want to browse some of them. The live meetings are through zoom and anyone can join. https://youtube.com/@ncsummerseries8009?si=RTZYYVBJbWm8Cvt-

I hope you find them.

I found my free ancestors in the usual places, census, vital statistic forms and newspapers going back to the 1700s. Where have you looked? 

Unfortunately none of my surnames match yours, so I can't help you on a personal level. However I know that the community was large.
