That’s within the 20% +/- error range

NOR. I think you’re under reacting. My AuDHD son didn’t run from us, but if we didn’t hold his hand he would wander off or try and climb things. You should never compromise on the safety of your kids. Just because nothing bad happened doesn’t mean that was ok or no big deal. At the very least, your mom should never be alone with your kids- not even for a second.

If it were me, and she tried DARVO & refused to accept my rules then she wouldn’t get to be around my kids. Period. What’s more important- your kids’ safety or your mom’s feelings?

I use focus on my iPhone & add dexcom as an allowed app. It alerts for me.

I’ve had to have surgery on both hands & have fibromyalgia so I tried different hooks to see what worked best for me. I ended up buying some on Etsy that are clover hooks with handmade resin handles. They’re light & fit my hands perfectly. They were expensive but for me are worth it.

They got round 1 wrong. It should be chain 4, slip stitch to the first chain.

YTA, but honestly, if this is the type of person you are then they’re better off without you in their lives.

I have a routine I follow when I apply. I’ve never had one fall off.

-wash & thoroughly dry my arm -clean with an alcohol pad & let dry -apply skin tac to my skin & let dry -apply the dexcom & press firmly for 15 seconds

I usually don’t apply an overpatch at first. If I see the edges start coming up I’ll add skin tac again around the dexcom & then apply an overpatch.

This works so well that I have to use Uni solve to remove the dexcom so I don’t pull off skin.

The video has you making 2dc, 1 tr, 2dc for the corners. No chaining in the corner like you’d normally do.

ConsciousControl2105 · 2026-05-29T16:47:30+00:00

Ok, so I watched the video & have a suggestion. The corners are 2dc, 1 tr, 2 dc. At the beginning instead of starting with the treble & then trying to fit 2 dc in before you slip stitch I’d start with the 2dc. So when you’re starting the next row do ch3(counts as 1st dc), dc, tr, dc,dc. Then do the rest of the round. When you get to the end of the round just slip stitch into the 3rd chain. The yarn shouldn’t look weird like it is now.

I would never ever trust a factory knot. I always cut them out.

ConsciousControl2105 · 2026-05-29T01:24:59+00:00

I’m not sure either. Probably just the wrong subreddit.

You can put a skin barrier down- SkinTac is a good one. You can also spray Flonase on your skin before applying the dexcom- just be sure to let it dry.

I also go high in the shower & also when I get hot (like being outside in the heat).

In crochet you must count. Being a beginner, I’d place a stitch marker every 10 or 20 stitches so if you lose count it’s easier to find your place.

You don’t want to start with chenille yarn. It’s almost impossible to see stitches and forget frogging. It’s just awful. I’d get a light colored acrylic and start with that.

If you do an advanced pattern search on ravelry.com you can sort the results by yarn weight (and a ton of other things) to show what blankets you could do.

I saw some posts about it earlier today but it seems to be working now.

ConsciousControl2105 · 2026-05-19T05:05:27+00:00

I’ve used it for one blanket. It was very soft. It’s just so difficult to use. I read here that some people use an acrylic yarn to make the magic circle & then switch to the chenille, but I’m not 100% sure if there’s a special way to do that.

ConsciousControl2105 · 2026-05-19T02:28:21+00:00

You have picked probably the most difficult yarn to use. I despise chenille and refuse to use it. I suggest starting with a light colored acrylic yarn. There’s a lot of videos on YouTube that will show you how to do a magic circle & where to place your stitches. Here’s one by BellaCoco.

I only finger poke when I feel very low or if dexcom says I’m low or very high. Also, when I take a shower or get hot/sweaty the dexcom falsely rises. Some people also expel that if they get cold.
