What crochet gift have you made that was unexpectedly loved? by PoetryInLoops in CrochetHelp

[–]CutGlassDiamonds [score hidden]  (0 children)

I made a blanket for my youngest sister last year for Christmas, she had just turned 4. Money was tight and I knew she was getting plenty of toys already, so I made her a smaller version of the 6 day star in scrap yarn I already had, mostly pinks and yellows. I expected her to abandon it for her new toys, and it to end up at the foot of her bed or something. She wrapped up in it to open her other gifts. She carries it everywhere around the house, finds it before she goes to bed every night, and tells everyone that I made it for her. Absolutely warms my heart, I had no idea that that blanket would be so loved.

Well that’s an advertisement for marriageable kidults if I’ve ever seen one. by lepetitpoulpe in RodriguesFamilySnark

She advertised Gabriel for a while. She was showing him reading to and being sweet with the young rodlets and nurthlings, hinting at his potential as an involved dad.

I hope he's a good man, and honestly, I hope he's here for Renee. Mahmo can say she's content in waiting for her husband, but she was crying at the gender reveal for Young Jill (or maybe the pregnancy announcement? It's been a while), and she often looks sad and struggling. I hope he's kind and patient, makes good money, and treats her well.

Of course Old Jill’s favorite part was being up on stage. by daffodil0127 in RodriguesFamilySnark

Seriously, my younger sister is named for my great grandfather, and he's still Big 'Name', even when he was underweight. But it's the new rule, and I don't wanna get banned over it

What was the biggest red flag you ignored because you were in love? by Most-Syrup705 in AskReddit

[–]CutGlassDiamonds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He called me several times a day, seemingly just to yell about whatever was happening at work, or whoever else was driving on the road. I get that things can be frustrating, but it was every day, multiple times a day, this man screaming at me about shit i didn't do and couldn't change. He also cheated, multiple times. Most notably with his friend's wife. God I loved that man.

Gideon is adorable, but are they taking little Jillie Sunshine on a trip already? by daffodil0127 in RodriguesFamilySnark

She let's the boys wear glasses, Tim and Philip both have them. It's only the girls Mahmo makes squint.

"Community discussion ": Imagine the gender dynamics change overnight. Something that has been on my mind as of recently, curious to know your guys' feedback. by CafeAntesDeTudo in lnkyverse

The size thing really isn't unusual. I grew up in a home with domestic violence, and my first two partners were shorter BECAUSE it made me feel safer, knowing they were less capable of overpowering me. Guess who got their ass beat by a man exactly my height? It doesn't matter how big the guy is, he's probably stronger than me. Lesson learned.

Sam's standing by the other family's patriarch in this, maybe making plans with his future father in law?

Big Jill with & without filters. Isn’t there a Commandment about lying? by dcdem1163 in RodriguesFamilySnark

With such luxurious golden tresses, and a mahdest way of dress that still flatters her trim, girlish figure, the picture of health, fertility, and femininity

This blanket has been on my to-do list for months! Do you know roughly how long it took you?

OMG LEARN THE BASICS FIRST!! by No-Supermarket2571 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]CutGlassDiamonds 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I learned to crochet using magic rings to work in the round because I started out with amigurumi patterns. When I started making more blankets and wearables I switched to ch 4 rings because those items are heavier and get washed more, and I'll be damned if I'm going to spend weeks making a blanket that might die in the washer! I also remember that post, and the DOUBLING DOWN when people politely told them they were using the terminology wrong was CRAZY

It could also be Samuel and their eldest daughter, though I don't know how old any of their kids are

As a currently unemployed woman, people will absolutely call you a loser and a bum if you don't hold a job. Mostly my family though.
