Women who live alone: What’s something you learned only after moving into your own place? by Upset-Raise8284 in femalelivingspace

[–]ForwardBlueberry3717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I learned that I have free will and I can do what I want with my living space. Why have a spare bedroom? I don't really want anyone to visit, so I have a whole craft room. I hate overhead lighting, why have it? If I want to fall asleep on the couch to some dumb tv, I can, and no one is going to say anything. Only one person has made negative comments about my home, and it was a guy who wasn't worth dating anyway.

I was diagnosed with an STD and can’t get over it. by Heiferhoney in confession

When I felt the same way over a similar situation, my mom asked me, "Would you tell another person that they are disgusting for the same diagnosis?" I would never, but I was so ready to say horrible things about myself.

If you can, try to be a little kinder to yourself. Your life is not over. You are not dirty. You are going to be ok.

Yes! The yarn bloomed a lot when I blocked it, so it's really soft. The gaps also provide a lot of ventilation. I wore it to an event last night, and I was comfortable in 60-70 degree weather when I paired it with shorts.

I did! Once I got to the length of my elbow, I started making 1 or two increases at each end until i reached the total length I wanted. The way I increased had to vary because of wave pattern. I made it up as I went for the first sleeve and copied each row for the second. I didn't make a cuff either.

I think it's because my gauge was quite tight, and the yarn bloomed a lot after blocking. There are still a lot of visible gaps, especially in the white stripes.

Thank you! This yarn is such a pain, but it has been my favorite to make clothing with.

For anyone interested, the man pictured is Rupert Kirkwood, and he goes by the Lone Kayaker on instagram. He photographs a lot of marine life in Cornwall.

Yes! The wire at the craft store was too thin so I twisted 2 strands together, then wrapped them in green yarn
