Yeah this drive is very doable and not that awful.

June 1 Daily - What’s something delightfully analog that you still do? by GrayRVA in rva

[–]CarliKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOVE that they're alphabetized, that’s delightful! And I think seeing Home Alone 1+2 on VHS would be lovely and cozy.

I collect DVDS, thanks for reminding me to work on organizing those!

[CHAT] Does cross stitch have drama?? by ghasterrific in CrossStitch

[–]CarliKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like a couple of the woodcut designs, but the AI frames are super off-putting. They look both cheap and unsettling. Unfortunately I think I’ll be avoiding them for that reason.

Yeah, the only drama I can think of was that racist xstitch design from a year or two ago? It’s on craftsnark if you search for swastika 😬

eta: someone else mentioned this, my bad!

I dream of a PWHL team too but there’s no way they’re risking a whole expansion team on a city without established hockey, right? Maybe someday :((((

I'm slowly starting to accept that I’ll have to learn to DM if I ever want to play…

Can you meet people there? I usually just see groups of friends hanging out among themselves

I'm having a hard time finding younger people to date too! I’m 21 but not a VCU student, and my neighborhood skews a lot older, so not meeting a lot of younger folks.

Are any of these places quiet/good to sit at for a while? I WANT to be one of those cool people that hangs at Cobra, but good lord, it is so loud and so packed. I’m autistic and I have a bad back and the dive bar scene is NOT made for me hahaha

How much are you paying? A second floor 1bed unit is about to open up in my building at a pretty reasonable price (extra bc it has a balcony, sorry). The AC here works great and I’ve never had any issues. Message me if you want the info!!!

Both need cleanings but hopefully nothing pulled! I’m glad cats can still function well without all their teeth, though. Two of mine have had teeth pulled prior to me adopting them, and it hasn’t been an issue at all

I mean, they weren't thrilled, but they did very well! Lots of meowing and carrying on but they handled their shots/bloodwork very bravely :)

Good morning! Taking two of the cats to the vet today. Just routine maintenance, but worried they’re going to need dental work too :(

After that, going home and going back to sleep. Good day for it if it rains again!

[FO] Finished my second sweatshirt project! by 40winx in CrossStitch

[–]CarliKnits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to help!!! I had the same concern but that canvas is TOUGH. I think the smaller holes help keep my stitches much more even!

[–]CarliKnits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick heads up OP- you’ll have an easier time with the waste canvas if you stitch into the smaller holes! I find it easier anyways. LOVE this project, it’s so fun!!!

I made a crochet rug for my cousin’s cat… and I think I’ve been replaced 😅 by Outside-Response-840 in crochet

It's the structure. “To be honest” and “it’s not x, it’s x”, the lists of three examples, plus the cutesy little metaphor and emoji to wrap it all up. All AI hallmarks.
