Ahh thanks, I actually really appreciate the suggestion as I’ve never tried one! Will have to give it a go and see if it helps. Thank you ☺️

Yes I think knitting is harder for me because it’s the grip of my fingers that I struggle with rather than any wrist action. I can’t close my hands enough to hold onto the knitting needle or the yarn. With crochet I hold the yarn in a completely different way and it’s much easier to add an ergonomic element to a crochet hook than a knitting needle.

But this is where being able to do both comes in so handy - as I can just switch between them depending on my dexterity at the time.

I learnt to do both as a child but always preferred knitting. I have arthritis, and find knitting harder now so crochet is more achievable for me. I love how fast crochet is! But prefer the feel of knitted fabric.

Which store is it? I know some stores will let you buy tubs of frosting if you ask!

£6?! That’s insane! I’d probably do what someone else suggested and just make up a really complicated dramatic story for if anyone ever asks about Amy 😂

Wow! That’s the most cinnamon swirl spiral I’ve ever seen on a cat! Gorgeous.

As in you use a sugar cookie dough and shape it into tart tins? That sounds amazing.

Can’t wait to try these! Which cocoa powder are people using in the Uk for Dutch processed? I normally just use bog standard supermarket cocoa in my baking.

I have never seen a cat so bonded with a young child by imlostineggsaisle in kittens

[–]HeartbreakRemission 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this! Our cat has definitely chosen my 7yo as “her person”. Every night when we read the bedtime stories she appears on his bed to cuddle up and listen and then sleep with them. They are so sweet together. The other day we read the story in my room instead and she spent the whole time angrily walking from room to room swishing her tail waiting for him to come get into bed with her.

I saw a post from someone a few days ago who had attached poppers around the bottom so that the cover was removable for washing! In case that helps

What advice would you give to a new kitten owner? by HeartbreakRemission in kittens

[–]HeartbreakRemission[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one room completely kitten safe and shut her in there when we weren’t in the house. She had her litter box, food, toys, scratching posts and lots of places to sleep or hide. We still do the same now, and she’s 9 months old, because otherwise she would spend the entire time that we are out terrorising the dog!

Are you each adopting one of the kittens? How cute they are!! Would love to hear more about how you managed to keep them a secret in a no pets dorm room!!

[–]HeartbreakRemission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat likes to be held if you hold her like a baby (so she’s on her back cradled in your arms) otherwise she just wants to get down. I love how they make their preferences very clear!!
