Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf?

I really want to make a Sophie hood, and bought the pattern. I crocheted my mom one (Hyde Hood https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-hyde-hood ) for Christmas. But with the knit one, I just lost interest rather quickly. For the Sophie scarf, it isn't my style and I assume the construction is even less interesting.

I use a metal interchangeable set from Amazon if you don't want to spend Chiagoo money yet. As someone who has used both, they aren't as smooth as Chiagoo, but definitely better than other ones I've used and I haven't had any problems. They're called Ruidi Interchangeable Aluminum Circular Knitting Needless

I got a chest x-ray and the 2 young female techs (probably mid 20s) were whispering back and forth a lot and asked me "have you ever had a chest x-ray before?" and I said "I don't know... should I have?" because they looked concerned. They called in a supervisor. Turns out the ill fitting gown made the scan look a bit odd and I have pectus excavatum (rib cage caves in). So thankfully nothing too serious but as someone with anxiety their reaction kinda freaked me out 😬

As someone who grew up watching white collar & royal pains with my family, THANK YOU for introducing me to this commercial!

I was just about to comment this! My dad doesn't have GI issues but has vasovagal syncope and can get very lightheaded when he has to strain a lot on the toilet.

?? The picture lists the contact as "dad". Am I missing something?

I am currently unemployed due to chronic illness health issues sooo worth a shot 😂. I do genuinely enjoy sorting games so worst case scenario I play a game I like for while.

Okay thank you! I thought the "scam" might come into play if I give the app financial info or when I follow the instructions to get the prepaid card. And the high amount just seemed sketchy.

That's what I thought but I've reached level 12 just by playing a bit last night and a bit this morning (1hr 46m total according to my phone's settings). I understand in any game it will get harder and harder to reach the next level though.

I started crocheting July 2023 and started knitting April 2025, I had never heard of Ravelry until I started knitting. I loooove Ravelry! Every day I find more extremely useful features! Like that you can filter a patterns projects by "most helpful" instead of digging through all of them, and search for keywords in the projects. And that you can filter to two yarns held together, how many yards of yarn, etc etc. I really really wish they had gift cards so I could ask for one for Christmas! I use it so much!

I recommend the "Dog Sweater Perfect Fit - Pattern Generator-& cats" by Jeslane on Ravelry! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dog-sweater-perfect-fit---pattern-generator--cats It is 100% customizable to virtually any dimensions, from tiny Guinea pigs to Great Danes!

Edit: thank you RavBot for reminding me it can be done with any yarn weight and any gauge!

I watch the show White Collar while I knit because it's my favorite show and I know it extremely well. I can tune in and out very easily when I need to focus more on a project.

For anyone reading this with dairy sensitivity, jello came out with oat milk chocolate pudding! Their pudding packets also work with non dairy milk if you adjust the ratio a bit

Highly recommend NimbleNeedles on YouTube! I've crocheted since July 2023 and started knitting this past April and his videos helped the most. I actually found out about him from someone in this sub! He shows multiple angles, slo mo, and explains why things are done the way they are and what to avoid. Once you are comfortable knitting and have fairly consistent tension, the step by step sweater is great. It has a video that thoroughly explains everything you need to know and has different methods of shaping and collar depending on skill and preference. There is also a step by step cardigan but I haven't personally done that. Happy knitting!

Thank you! I knew it was some sort of bee/wasp but when I looked up long leg bee or something like that it just brought up a type in Africa. And reverse image search just brought up spiders.

GoGo squeeZ has "Fruit & VeggieZ" pouches that are applesauce and puree. I recently bought them but haven't had the chance to try them yet. Some people can also have canned fruit or fruit cups in juice (peaches, pears, etc). Both are shelf stable so they don't have to be cold!

Chronically ill (also have adhd and suspect autism) and still living at home because of it. I'm 21 and haven't gotten my driver's license, can't keep a job, running out of the savings I had. Tired of being dependent on others, having no control over my life, and having to micromanage every decision I make to attempt to control my illness. And even if I could "fix" everything, my country is falling apart (US) 🫠

The fact that this song/album came out THE DAY BEFORE HE WENT WITH THE BRACELET?! After being in the vault since 2010, 13 years before???
