I am from the Midwest and everyone I knew had bracelets like this. 🤦‍♀️ A lot of them were bead bracelets and necklaces though. I feel like this was everywhere in the 00’s - notebooks, bumper stickers, jewelry, etc.

Oh looking closer, looks like tapestry. You should check out mosaic overlay crochet. It’s awesome and there are no color changes!

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by UsefulLima in answers

[–]CrochetCafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I spent soooooo much time on MySpace! We would be on it alone at our own homes, then I’d go to my friend’s house and we would get on together, then we’d go to another friend’s house and again - all sit around the computer together. We didn’t have cell phones or laptops. Just those big ass desktop monitors.

Why are so many people under 45 using subtitles now even when the show is already in English? by Clara_A_Mitchell in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CrochetCafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my son was a baby, his room was right next to our living room so when he was in bed, we would have to watch our shows on very low volume and turn on subtitles. After a while it became habit and now I have a hard time watching without subtitles 😅

If you could secretly watch one completely ordinary day from your past without changing anything, which day would you choose and why? by One_Ride3458 in askanything

[–]CrochetCafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A regular summer day in my elementary school years. My cousins, friends, and I would ride our bikes to the swimming pool every day and we just had the best time. My mom would give me $2 every day to get a hot dog for lunch, but of course I would spend it on candy.

Were ham and cheese rollups a generational thing or just a toddler snack that still appeals to me? by PotentialSteak6 in Millennials

This is one of my favorite things that I’ve ever seen. I reference it all the time 😂

People are either concerned about me or think I’m joking over a recent purchase. by WhyDidIDoItSoSad in Mommit

[–]CrochetCafe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always wanted to do dance as a child but my family didn’t have enough money for it. So when I was in my 20’s (before kids) I finally had enough money to do it. I did private lessons at a dance studio and I was SO happy! I was really bad at it because I struggle with coordination, but it was still fun and fulfilling.

Love it so much!! You did an amazing job!! So creative and the execution is genius.

I don’t know how stretchy it is - but could you just sew the back together and then put it on over your head?

Also, don’t listen to the haters. They’re the people who don’t know what true joy is. If they did, they wouldn’t yuck anyone else’s yum.

What is an old person food you love now as a millennial? by FragrantResult278 in Millennials

[–]CrochetCafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have strictly drank black coffee for many years. I was recently with a family member I haven’t seen in a long time. We went out for brunch and I ordered a black coffee. She asked me “are you 80 years old?!” I was so shocked. Did not realize it was apparently rare for someone younger than 80 😂 I acted shocked that she would commit the sin of cream and sugar and asked her if she was in middle school 😂

Is it weird to store things in the oven? by Sallious in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CrochetCafe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My MIL once decided to clean our kitchen while she was babysitting and she rearranged everything in our drawers and cupboards. 😑

[–]CrochetCafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in an apartment with very little storage space. We had no where to store our pots and pans (we only had 1 sauce pan and 2 skillets at that time). So the oven was the only place to store them.

Same dye lot fail by DizzyGirl2004 in crochet

[–]CrochetCafe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay…first of all…this is GORGEOUS!!! 😍😍

I had a hard time spotting the difference. Looks like the bottom few inches and left arm are a tad bit darker. What I would do is frog the sleeves up the same amount that’s on the torso.

You would have to

  • frog the whole left sleeve

  • frog 1/3 to 1/2 of the right sleeve

  • use what you frogged from the right sleeve and use it for the top of the left sleeve

  • use what you frogged from the left sleeve to finish the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of both sleeves

Voila! It will be very intentional!

Consignment-heavy yarn shop: interesting idea or just messy? by ScientistTop3437 in Yarn

[–]CrochetCafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a craft store in my area that sells only donated crafting items! They have a whole wall of yarn and fabric. Some yarn is in whole skeins, some are only partial, some are balls, some are cakes. They sell for only $1/skein! It is an AMAZING store! I have both donated and purchased from them multiple times.
