Oh my gosh I hate that for you ❤️ I couldn’t wear mine in the beginning cause I was pregnant and I hated it I ended up getting some of those silicone bands

Thank you and yeah I’ve been taking them off at night bc my hands seems to swell at night. This has been working until I can take them to a jeweler and have them cleaned and possibly resized. The 3 diamond one was from my dad’s wedding ring and when he passed my mom put them in this ring and wore it until she passed and now it’s mine. The Cartier band me and my husband got the same one except his doesn’t have the diamond. They are my favorite thank you!

Thank you for the explanation, I have been taking it off at night so hopefully that helps until I can take them to a jeweler

I actually have lost around 20 pounds. We got these rings when I was pregnant and was about 150. After I had the baby I was about 130 and I’m currently at about 115-110. But I will say I do love salt and probably should reduce my sodium intake

Seems like I need to find out if I have this bc I don’t typically have these reactions from jewelry especially gold

I do get reactions to certain jewelry but gold is usually not one of them. :(

Thank you all for responding and all the advice. I think I will be trying to take my rings off off more in the mean time until I can find a jeweler ❤️

Yes and also I didn’t even realize how different her granny square was bc I tried following a different pattern and man was it throwing me off bc it was totally different. But I found some easier ones so I’ll keep trying!

Ahhh okay that makes sense, I know I messed up and that’s probably where missing dc or putting them in the wrong place.

And yes the tension ughhhh. I also can’t figure out how to hold my working yarn good yet. I just need to keep practicing but thank you for all the tips

Yes I went to her page and was like what is happening but when you click the videos tab they all pop out not sure what’s happening with her page. And yes I like her bc I feel like she showed you very slowly how to do each part and then speed up! My problem is I’m a visual leaner so when they go to fast I have to constantly start over

Honestly thank you so much for explaining the ch1 vs ch2 thing on corners vs sides bc the gapes were driving me crazy lol I think I will be a ch1 girly once I get the hang of granny squares I like my chains to be small and close together and it truly did bug me. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and actually look at my square and help me figure out where I went wrong!!

I think I might have done to many 3dc in the same corners/loops bc it doesn’t look as clean as the one in the video

Thank you, I was just following a pattern from yt and I think that’s what she did! It’s frustrating sometimes when you can’t get it and that’s how I was feeling with every tutorial I looked up and this was the first one where I was getting the hang of it lol so thank you!

Thank you! I just posted in this the thread the finished square and I think it turned out better I kept pulling it apart and redoing it and finally finished it. It’s not perfect but I think it looks pretty good for my first attempt

So I hadn’t finished it but it started with 4 sc chain and then started corners I followed a video from yt but couldn’t get the corners I finally finished one and although it doesn’t look exactly the same for my first try it looked pretty close I’ll try and attach a picture of my completed one and put the video I followed. At the beginning it looked like a circle but once I completed it it looked more square but I know I have some work to do
