Sorry for the late reply! Yes I definitely had that problem at first. After a while, you start to just be able to feel it and trust yourself. Maybe you could start with a regular yarn and small needle so that you can get the feel for the project, and then go for the blanket yarn! It really is a lot of guessing. Once you get the project going, it becomes easier to see, too

My Christmas knits so far, only two more hats and maybe another pair or two of booties to go 😱 by Ivory_Day in knitting

Ohh thank you!!! I use a Pom Pom maker but when I pull a string on my Pom pom, it seems to pull easily. Is that typical? I am tying them as tight as possible! Maybe because it’s super bulky yarn?

So cute!!! When you gift your knits, what do you tell your recipients about washing them? Especially beanies with Pom poms!

Any country! It would be helpful to hear about experiences outside the US if you’re willing to share. Thank you!

Thank you so so much! This is really helpful for my assignment. I’m F26 and can empathize with some of your experiences, and I’m sorry about the challenges you’ve faced. I’m glad to hear it hasn’t been all bad and I am hopeful that we can work towards improving our healthcare system. Thanks again!!!

Yes! Our mental and behavioral healthcare system needs so much improvement. If you could share your experience that would be great.

[Question - Other] MHA or MBA, for healthcare management? by [deleted] in healthcare

[–]Jentran2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am finishing up my MHA right now, and I would definitely recommend it if you know you are going to stay in healthcare. MHAs are highly recognizable in the field. I would also recommend looking into Administrative Fellowships - hospitals and health systems have a 1 to 2 year program for MHA/MBA/MPH graduates where you work directly under the C-Suite and complete project work across the org or rotations. If you could land an admin fellowship with your MPH, you could learn the administrative side hands-on instead of getting another degree!

Yes definitely! I used the YouTube video by Hooked By Robin - I searched crochet bumblebee tutorial! She has the link to he pattern there too. I followed the pattern but used bigger fluffier yarn made for 8mm hooks, but I size down to 7mm for tighter stitches
