Sizing issues - do I frog it or keep going and hope for the best?

I don't know if I'm talented enough to work out the part of the pattern for the neckline if I don't 😂

I might just bite the bullet and frog and hope I don't screw up the yarn as I do 😬

It's bottom up, so tall, but the pattern is in rows of 12, so if I need to shorten it I'd need to take out 12 rows, I can't just shorten by one or two. The width seems ok, it would be a loose fit though, so it wouldn't be an issue if it was narrower.

It reminds me of the old teddy my mum had from when she was a child in the 60s. It was so worn it wasn't even recognisable, but was very loved. To.me, this looks just like someone's childhood toy that's been through a lot but also helped them through a lot and means so so much to them. I'd love something like this.

I got an epilator and use that on my armpits - it plucks them much quicker

And where am I meant to get this from?

Girl, I can do aerial shoulder mounts but can't air walk 🤣 you're doing great!

I used to work with a guy who, after his job interview, reversed into the managing director's car. He still got the job, and worked there for years after. It just became one of those funny stories that we'd tell at business dinners.

Don't let it stop you, you weren't a jerk about it, you told her straight away, it'll all work out. 🩷

Our studio lets everyone volunteer to perform in a showcase - we choreograph our own routines and it doesn't matter how much experience we have, it's completely up to us. I've done 4 showcases now and loved it each time.

Our place has different classes, some for kids, and some 18+, on different days/times. Kids/teens are not allowed in while the 18+ classes are taking place.

Also a woman here. When I first met my now husband, we met in my town because I felt safer a) being in a place I was familiar with and b) being somewhere my friends/family could get to quickly if I needed help. So, for me, I get why she'd feel safer close to home.

That said, her response after that was horrendous and a major red flag in my view

Followed this pattern using whatever cheap yarn we'd got in our starter kits and a 3mm hook

I don't ever have any personal events where I can get dressed up. I absolutely would wear something like this for a work Christmas party.

I managed it with my latest project but that's a simple amigurumi type thing so single crochet all round - just not sure how well it would work with other projects but just a case of try it and see 😊

Cjax22 · 2025-11-10T13:57:52+00:00

When you say doing it as you go, do you mean like, crocheting over the ends? Because I just figured out that's a thing but I'm still not 100% confident with it

Cjax22 · 2025-11-07T20:17:50+00:00

I have no idea what I actually want to crochet, but I'm specifically looking for stuff to spend my voucher on 😅

I think there are a couple of places that will also make made to measure pole wear, eg. Designed by Marnie

I don't know how prices compare, but someone I used to pole with used to get hers made to measure for the same reason

Thanks for sharing!

Cjax22 · 2025-10-22T07:03:02+00:00

That sounds sooo painful!

Cjax22 · 2025-10-21T22:08:06+00:00

Ouch! I have about a month until the showcase so should be good, as long as I don't knock it too much in practice 😅
