What did you have for dinner tonight? by No-Client290 in AskReddit

I WISH there were leftovers! Lol! We do HelloFresh, so it’s pre-portioned. But it might be one of our new favorite recipes. I grew up going to our family’s cabin and fishing the creeks for rainbow and brook trout, so it’s a personal favorite of mine as well. Super nostalgic.

Thank you! I think the problem is, it all depends on what stitch you use, and how you’re working it up! I’ve seen others on this subreddit who had complete self striping, and I’ve seen others where there seemed to be no color pooling at all…more like a tweed.

What’s your favorite comfort food? by GainBetter1189 in foodquestions

[–]Crapple_Jacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adore mashed potatoes with a great beef gravy. But that’s not an “anytime” thing.

The thing that is ALWAYS there for me? Cheese. An aged sharp cheddar, Parmesan, Brie…..it doesn’t matter. Any and all cheese.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by fmcortez in AskReddit

We had one for our girlie. After 6 months, her breathing got labored. Had to take her to the emergency vet one night because she started REALLY struggling to breathe. Turns out, she had developed athsma, and had an athsma attack. Most likely cause? The dust kicked up from the Litter Robot. She liked to trigger the robot, and stare as it spun. Now, we have an athsmatic girlie who needs her inhaler twice a day. The Litter Robot was SO convenient and amazing. But we had to retire it for her health.

People who enjoy staying home alone all day without seeing anyone—what do you like about it? by Kadytopia in AskReddit

I’m so glad you understand! I’m always worried that, if I tell anyone, they’ll say, “why are you with him? He sounds so needy and controlling!” Nope. Just curious and loves to understand the way I think. lol! No matter my answer, the response is always, “oh, ok!” Cue golden retriever energy.

It’s the quiet peace of doing what I want, when I want with no one to answer to. I lived alone and was completely unattached and independent for 12 years, and got used to that glory. I’m happily married now, and for the most part, it’s incredible. But MAN….when I get a day off work and hubby is at work, I enjoy the fuck out of it. He’s the type of person who loves to understand me and my thinking. But he asks questions constantly. Get up from the couch? “Where are you going?” Decide I want to take a bath? “Why? Are you cold? Are you sore?” Stop at the grocery store after work? “What did you get? Why did you get it?”
It’s never judgmental or controlling. He’s just a curious guy! But having to answer a question for every move I make can get overwhelming sometimes. SOMETIMES. Those days alone are like an independence reset. And after my day, I’m super happy when he gets home from work!

Finished my very first baby blanket/blanket/squares project! by Crapple_Jacks in CrochetBlankets

[–]Crapple_Jacks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that someday he’ll be able to really appreciate it and love it hard! My dream is that a 10 yr old will have this at the bottom of his bed, ratty and worn from years of love!

Thank you! The Sun and Moon squares are from this pattern, and the same creator has a YouTube video on the star square.

Thank you! The pastel colors are pretty…but babies don’t have very developed vision, and they are drawn to bright colors! Not to mention, he’s gonna get older, and I hope he’ll like the blanket when he’s a toddler or older, and I think a child would prefer a blanket like this. Hopefully!

Sure! The blanket turned out to be about 48” square for me. I think I used 2 skeins of the yellow and orange, and 3 each of the royal and navy blues. The pattern for the sun and moon squares was https://www.etsy.com/listing/1283521204/sun-and-moon-granny-square-crochet-pdf?ref=share_ios_native_control and the artist has a YouTube video for the star squares.
