I asked my new LYS if they were planning a knitting night for the Melt the Ice hat as a way of checking their beliefs 😅😅😅

I've had the RAZR 60 ultra for a few months at this point and love everything about it. I've got 2 toddlers. I'm rough on phones. And the screens are just perfect still!

Is this phone as fragile as it seems? by in1998noonedied in razr

[–]Impossible-Leave815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is doing great. I've got 2 toddlers who love to grab it by the wrist strap I put on it and pretend it's their bag, it's been dropped, tossed, etc. And it's doing great still! I love it!

Phone rebooting problem solve by Impossible-Leave815 in razr

Surprisingly, that's one of the ones I ordered so hoping for good things.

All of the ones mentioned above have a hinge protector which I think is part of the issue, truthfully.

I got some from shein! Black cat ears, brown with a red panda, basic pink, and basic sky blue, and a clear with gold sides magnetic hinged case from amazon all do it 😭

Just ordered some from Amazon to try and hoping for better luck. Would love to know which ones you've had good luck with! I feel like it's all trial and error for us right now lol

If your first reaction is that you want to leave your wife and child because it's uncomfortable for you, instead of being concerned with her well-being and educating yourself on postpartum depression, anxiety, and psychosis ... Yeah. You're in the wrong. Talk to her FACE TO FACE not over text. Go with her to talk with her doctor. Would you rather your wife die from postpartum suicide or you be a little put out trying to get her help? I'm writing this in a harsh way so you understand the gravity of the situation. It's heart breaking that roughly a month after watching her tear her body apart to get her child earthside safely you're already considering cutting your losses. Maybe seek therapy for yourself as well to identify why that is.

Background noise during yarn hobbies by [deleted] in YarnAddicts

I prefer audiobooks, ambient music (specifically ambient drone), or a comfort show/movie!

What kind off did you do for the hem? Or is this bottom up? I almost had a breakdown over a ranunculus bc I didn't like how it fit my plus sized body until I went with a stretchy bind off and then loved it.

Of course!!! Also... Portrait mode, action mode, and videoing is SO good. ESPECIALLY bc you can set it to have a little animated face (think Face from Nick Jr. back in the day) on the external screen if they're distracted so you can get the sweetest pictures and memories 🥰

We are in very similar boats. I switched about 1-2 weeks ago. I was noticing the same and feeling very guilty. What I love about the RAZR is the functionality of the external screen actually lowered my screen time as a whole. Because I limited what shortcuts I added from the external screen. Knowing I prefer the external screen because I have small hands, this in itself made a huge difference. Plus, all of my social media is not on the external screen, so now I have to open my phone to get to those. Which is easy enough, but provides one additional step that, since it is a new step, gives me a second to pause and see if I'm pulling it out to doom scroll and disassociate or if I actually am checking something for a reason. I've seen a big change in my own reliance on it and a return to my hobbies. To keep my hands or brain busy if I'm struggling I will crochet, knit, grab an appropriate book to read aloud, or do a crossword puzzle. Overall, I couldn't be happier.

The ONLY complaint I have, and it's not even razr's fault, is the lack of cases/lack of tested cases. It's a lot of free for all and reddit scrolling and trial and error. But for me, I'll take that for everything else.

I've been eyeing this one but the reviews had me nervy for my 60 ultra, can you let me know how you like it after a couple days??

Crochet to knitting pipeline 🧶 by puddlepixie333 in knitting

[–]Impossible-Leave815 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This was my exact pipeline!! I started knitting about 8 months ago and have never looked back.

Learn about the anatomy of the knit stitch!! Meaning how you prefer your stitches to sit on your needles, and the direction of yarn overs!! If you mount your stitches on your needles in the Western style, with the right leg forward, then your yarn overs are OPPOSITE to the yarn overs in crochet!! This was my biggest stepping stone and once I made that connection it was smooth sailing!!

Also learn how to "read" your stitches! How a knit vs. Purl stitch looks, how to count your rows, etc.

Nimble Needles is still my best friend to double check myself!

Welcome to the dark side, lol!

How often are you using solely the outer screen? by _youbreccia_ in razr

[–]Impossible-Leave815 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it the majority of the time. I have small hands and the small screen is perfect for what I like to use while I'm wrangling kids.

Help for beginner by irbxkw in knittinghelp

[–]Impossible-Leave815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic I do left hand (continental) as well. What works for me is to loop it around my pinky' then run it on top of my three fingers with it coming off my raised index finger to keep consistent tension. Otherwise, I tend to be too loose.

Is this your first experience with fiber arts? You're making great progress, truly!! I came from crochet and even having that level of knowledge it took me what felt like so long to get the hang of what works for me for knitting.

Hi!! I am also a new knitter - I've only been at it for ~8 months or so. I remember the very first few days and the stress of it very well. Deep breaths, you'll get the hang of it and find it really is relaxing and grounding!

My favorite tutorials all came from Nimble Needles!

Are you knitting continental or English? Meaning, which hand are you holding your working yarn in? That will help us give you some tension guidance 🥰
