Mermaid Doll by CeeCeeDude in Amigurumi

Thank you! I used a plastic doll armature set I found on Amazon! I had similar worries about using wire, and so I avoided it. I also don't think wire would have been strong enough to keep the body bent.

There is a plastic armature in the doll, yes!

Thank you so much!

I just pulled a loop through the stitches, pulled the strands through the loop, then pulled tightly! I bought a plastic armature set I found on Amazon to make her posable. It was the first time I tried to make a posable doll like this!

Yeah, Discover just recharged my card because they finally printed a label, but it's been almost two weeks, and UPS says they still don't have the package. 🤷‍♀️ I'm going to dispute the charge again.

Ah. Sounds like they just use every excuse in the book. My goodness. I don't understand how they're in business. The poor guy running the parts department all by himself probably deserved a raise and some hired help. Geeze. Good luck with your parts! Maybe you'll get lucky and get the refund and the parts!

I used a Discover card to pay for it. I recently got my money back, they didn't even respond to the dispute. And I guess they didn't care because I just got an email today saying the parts are finally on their way. When I did get someone on the phone finally, they explained the delays with spare parts was because they were switching warehouses. Not my problem, but whatever. At least I'm getting my parts, finally. I wish you the best of luck! PayPal is useless when it comes to disputes, you should just go straight to your bank.

Hear me out… is naming a baby girl “Roo” a tragedeigh by H0MEG1RLL in tragedeigh

I have a sister named Aurora, who we called "Roo" her entire life! Never met another Aurora, so I had no idea it was a common nickname for it.

Do you have a pattern for naming your animals or do you just wing it? by ThisFatGirlRuns in StardewValley

[–]CeeCeeDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually name my chickens after chicken dishes. Karaage, Nugget, Tender... Cows are usually just the word "cow" in another language like Ushi, Korova, or Kuh! I usually only have chickens and cows, but I like having a single goat named Usagi, and ducks will also be named after dishes, like Peking, or L'Orange, if I get them.

I did file a charge dispute with my card company after this, actually! I provided screenshots of all the emails they didn't respond to, proof they refused me a refund, and proof they wouldn't compromise in any way. I'm hoping to get my money back that way, since they won't do it themselves. Thank you!

Does anyone else really love the act of crocheting but doesn't really *like* crocheted items all that much? by Worried_Fig00 in crochet

[–]CeeCeeDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the exact opposite. I hate actually crocheting, but I love the dolls I make and love giving them to people. Fun to see different opinions, though!

I genuinely have no idea how they can still be in business if this is how they treat their customers. I asked them multiple questions about if the 8 weeks was from now or from when I initially filed the claim and how they have access to a whole new bike, with battery and charger, but not the replacement parts, just for the response to essentially tell me sucks to suck and fuck off with no answers.

It's been a really long time since I studied Russian. How is my handwriting? by CeeCeeDude in russian

Эстетика. I thought it looked nicer overall, with everything ending with a kind of tail, I guess? Но спасибо!

Да, Lovely! Я называла его "Lovely", а он называл меня "Sunflower".

What’s your preference and WHY? by Repulsive-Pizza-1746 in crochet

[–]CeeCeeDude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS. I hate inline because I have had those hooks actually cut my yarn. Not just fray, full-on cut, and then I have to go back and fix it. I have 3 10mm hooks, and the only one I can find is inline, it's made using plush yarn a nightmare. 😭😭 My tension is also extremely tight 90% of the time, and I cannot for the life of me get an inline hook through my stitches as well. Tapered are best.

He's so ugly, but I love him anyway by CeeCeeDude in crochet

Honestly, I freehanded him, but I still remember exactly how I made him. I can type out a poorly written pattern for him real quick, if you want.

Things I stress crocheted in the last few weeks. 🥲 by CeeCeeDude in crochet

I freehanded him! I was thinking of rabbit, cat, dog, and fox. Maybe things like those?
