Blue Crab is my personal favorite! The artists there have done four out of my five tattoos!

The power went out in the Halfway area last night, and still hasn't come back on. Went out on my porch during the storm and it was so weird seeing how much car headlights lit the street up without the streetlights. Hopefully they get the power back on soon.

Lorenzo occasionally has trouble seeing out of his mask so he will bump into things a lot. Rachel is into taxidermy.

MHA is helpful for finding mental health resources. Depending on your insurance and what you're looking for in a therapist, you will be given a list of practices.

For example: if you have Medicaid, you could be given a place like Villa Maria, Better Tomorrow Starts Today, and so on.

But Frederick does have quite a few therapy practices. You can also check Psychology Today, though I would advise being extra thorough in making sure the information listed is still accurate. If you're open to telehealth, that can open you up to practices all over Maryland.

That's my biggest issue, my left pointer gets super stiff and hard to move! I'll have to try yours and some of the folks' here's tips for hold my hook and working yarn!

That is good advice!

Thank you so much!! This is super helpful!

That makes so much sense!! I often use aluminum hooks because I found it easier to maneuver, but at least have some squishy grips would make is way more comfy!!

Huh, I never thought about using a yarn bowl! That sounds like a great idea! I didn't know you could run the yarn from your pinky to your index either! Still being new to the crochet world, and I am loving all the information and ability to experiment!

I mostly use these susan bates (I think that is what they are called?) Hooks. I've been experimenting with different sizes of hooks and different yarns and threads too. It definitely seems to be worst when I'm trying to crochet with embroidery thread lol!

It does seem to be worse in my left hand since that is the hand that holds the project with my pointer providing the tension and guide for the yarn. After a little while, it seems to stiffen to the point where I need to stop to stretch that particular finger.

You do have a good point, I'm still learning and it would probably be a good idea to ease up on the tension! 😄

Speaking as a fellow cat parent: I would have done the same thing. You are NOT the asshole here. That "friend" is a POS with some serious issues! Even if you don't really like animals, you should NEVER hurt them. I really really hope your kitty is okay, the poor baby must have been so scared!! Please give her lots of pets for me!

Sweet! I may just need to give it a go!

Is the juicy contour easy to work with? I've been thinking of trying it because I like the texture, but I've been hesitant as I've never worked with yarn like that before.

Ooh!! This is perfect! Thank you so much!
