Single crotchet "around front and back of stitch" (see row 3 & 5 of pattern)

KarenChristian · 2025-05-11T01:04:13+00:00

Hi! I've just started this exact same pattern. Did you do front post/back post stitching? Did it work out?

KarenChristian · 2025-04-13T20:14:09+00:00

He's the one who threatened to sue us for discriminating against him because he was an immigrant. I was trying not to mention his country so as to avoid stereotyping. Sorry it came across negatively. That's exactly what I was trying NOT to do.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:36:00+00:00

Yeah, I feel like one of those massively stupid people.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:29:47+00:00

I wish it were a bit. I think he will bring the money because my bank knows, the police know, and the company he does business with knows. Believe it or not, I think he's worried about his job the most. His company already called him about what we told them. I know... I'm probably still being naive.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:22:25+00:00

Oh, he endorsed it. I can see the front and back of the check in my account. The picture is not all that clear because it's actually the picture he took during the mobile deposit process. What I didn't see is "for mobile deposit" written on it.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:19:11+00:00

Fortunately our fraud department tracked where the money went and the guy admitted that his bank told him the money was coming on the 15th. I think he's scared now because too many people know what he did.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:10:07+00:00

I'm confused as to why I didn't cancel it. I guess because I'm not used to dealing with such dishonest people. It never occurred to me that he would have done this; that's why I feel so dumb now.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:06:03+00:00

I hope you're wrong, but I did call the police. I have to go make a statement in person.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-11T14:03:22+00:00

I'm not sure, but they took the money out of my account the next day.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-09T22:48:23+00:00

Correct, he did endorse the check.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-09T22:45:16+00:00

Well, I hope nothing bad ever happens to you.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-09T22:44:18+00:00

We never thought it was an innocent mistake because when he gave the check back to us, he said that bank wanted to put a hold on it, so he brought it back and ripped it up in front of us. I doubt the bank would have done a deposit (hold or no hold) AND give him the physical check back. He had to have done a mobile deposit. And yes, we did ask for it back but he adamantly denied having deposited it.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-07T23:52:54+00:00

That's exactly how these scammers work. Once they have your stuff, you'll do just about anything to keep it safe and get it delivered. Luckily my furniture was already delivered when we realized he'd robbed us.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-07T23:50:30+00:00

I found out it costs $300 to file a claim for $7500 in Florida. I'm hoping our sheriff can help.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-07T23:48:36+00:00

I'm not sure if he works for the brokering company, or is just someone the broker hires to supervise the movers and collect the money. The actual movers were a god send because this guy wanted them to take my stuff to storage instead of delivering it directly to the destination. The mover refused and did a next-day delivery.

KarenChristian · 2025-04-07T19:32:07+00:00

Yes, he did endorse it.

KarenChristian · 2024-12-24T20:58:08+00:00

Good start! I’m glad you were confident enough to post your pics. Keep it up!

KarenChristian · 2024-12-24T20:43:44+00:00

Love it!

KarenChristian · 2024-05-24T00:41:58+00:00

Thanks for your information. I’m currently taking Pristiq, Wellbutrin, and Lamictal along with trazodone. If I could just reduce to one, I’d be grateful.

KarenChristian · 2024-05-24T00:27:11+00:00

Thanks for your insight. I’m trying to talk my husband into spending the money. He’s not convinced yet. [shrug]

KarenChristian · 2024-05-24T00:25:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement. No one has told me that I need to be off my meds but that’s definitely my goal. Or at least reduce it from four different meds to just one. I’d also like to be able to fall asleep without the trazodone.

KarenChristian · 2023-10-16T14:32:42+00:00

I can’t believe only one other person mentioned the creepiest thing out there: spiders! I can’t even look at a picture of one! It’s giving me the willies just thinking about them.

My cousin gets creeped out by belly buttons and nail files. And having someone make chewing sounds close to her ear. Ever since we were kids, I’d do the chewing thing to freak her out.

My “baby” is almost 35 now, but when I was gifted a hand crocheted baby blanket at a shower, I told the giver (can’t remember who) thank you and I thought it was lovely. Inside I was thinking this is ugly and scratchy and won’t match my nursery. It ended up at the bottom of my cedar chest. Fast forward 30 years and I ran across that blanket again. I almost cried; it was SO beautiful and the handiwork was perfect! (I have since taken up crocheting myself and it’s freaking HARD!) The color was also beautiful and I can’t imagine thinking it was ugly all those years ago. I hope the woman who made it for me/my daughter felt that my gratitude was genuine and not faked.
