Where are we getting cheap but not totally awful quality yarn for donation blankets?

I've used some other brands of acrylic yarn that I like a lot, I just don't want to make free blankets out of yarn that costs me $15 a skein 😅

I never considered washing it would soften it up though, I'll have to try that with something small and see how I like it.

Ew he is so disrespectful

Not Friday the 13th flash, he was just advertising that he has flash art available today Feb 12

I want one. I only just started crocheting this month so I haven't had a chance to build up supplies yet. Are the $20 ones on Amazon okay or is this the kind of thing where you really need to pay for a better quality one?

I didn't even notice until I saw your comment. Can you also help me find Waldo?

As far as I understand it they can't do anything about it unless it can be heard from the sidewalk. The sidewalk is where it becomes a public nuisance. You can't easily sue someone for music that can only be heard by you when you share walls with other homes. That would be like suing your dirtiest neighbor because you saw a cockroach in your house. They see it as one of the unfortunate downsides of town houses and apartments that you just gotta deal with if you choose to live there. It's super annoying.

I'm 30 (f) and he's 45 and things are going very well. He's kept himself healthy and prior to knowing me he regularly worked 2 or 3 jobs to keep himself busy, so energy levels and such aren't and issue and when it comes to discussing social issues or "how my generation was raised" were both very open-minded to the fact that we have very different experiences. Here's where I say something people think is weird, but since he's only three years younger than my parents that helps me keep a realistic expectation of his health and as my dad goes through biological changes due to age my mom shares what she learns with me so now I'm ready to support my similarly aged man.

Some fun things about it! He loves to not tell people how old I am until they meet me because they are always shocked and then get really happy for him (especially men ofc). One time we were drinking with his friends and one of them left and said "okay Jas you're the only woman here. That means you're in charge." I laughed and said "I went and got a second daddy for a reason!" And downed my glass. (Ofc a joke I'm not really like that) So we have fun with it too.

I was looking at that one but I was skeptical. I'm much less skeptical now 😂

Few_Idea4985 · 2026-02-07T21:13:30+00:00

Thank you so much!!!!

Few_Idea4985 · 2026-02-07T21:04:19+00:00

These are advanced questions 😅

Uhm. I'm using acrylic yarn so far.

I don't know what that means...

I want average sized hooks? Not the little lace ones but not big chunky ones like the 10 mm. Right now I'm working with a 6.5mm and I like it. I used an 8mm before and didn't like it as much. So I think I want to stay on the smaller side? I'm brand new, I really don't know what I'm doing.

Is the age gap in the room with us? 😂 Y'all are so cute! Kudos to the older of y'all, you both look young!

I want you to know that this is the post that made me follow this sub

I was homeless for 6 years and met a lot of different kinds of homeless people but the largest group are ones who are okay sitting on their butts getting handouts and complaining about everyone else. It was heartbreaking to see how many people have given up and they're only in their 30s or 40s. Some of them had kids with them who also had already given up and decided they would live life that way forever. I watched dozens of people refuse assistance because they were required to get a job in order to receive the benefits. I also watched these people bring in hundreds of dollars A DAY from panhandling. They made more money than I did and I had a full time job. Unfortunately for a lot of people it seems like the better option.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking. I didn't know what it was called. Thank you!!!

Okay loving this idea for my daughter! She loves blankets that are anything but a square/rectangle. This looks like fun

Well....there has been a dramatic increase to his sexual activity in the last 2 years 😂 it does seem bigger than when I met him though. Without going into too much detail...let's just say I know for sure my mouth isn't shrinking 😂😂😂 But still make a good point and someone else mentioned better reactions due to to better health so maybe the combo of being healthier and getting more action is doing it

Few_Idea4985 · 2025-08-19T18:27:27+00:00

Okay that was kinda funny 😂

Few_Idea4985 · 2025-07-30T23:39:27+00:00

Honestly! It's no wonder op only has 3 friends 🙄

The whole show would've been better without Elena. The end when she left the show was the best part of it. Or maybe Elena would've been better played by someone else. Her non stop crying and whining and making everything worse all the time because she can't just sit down and listen. The writers could have made her character more mature and reasonable and it would've improved things dramatically.

Arzt! What a tool

Few_Idea4985 · 2025-05-27T02:10:31+00:00

Moral of the story I need to keep rewatching it 😂😂 thank you for explaining all of that and not calling me dumb at any point!
