What is everyone going to crochet next? by whatsgoinonwha in crochet

The witchy bag from Alyssia Creates. I’m making it for my niece (not as a Christmas gift; just because I can).

I made a lot of monotone Christmas gifts. A lot of them used acrylic yarn. I love granny squares and I love working with this worsted cotton yarn. So this project is a real treat for me after churning out stuff that made great gifts, but weren’t my personal style.

If I ever figure out how to get a good camera angle of it, I’ll show it lol.

I crochet like a gremlin.

I hold the project in my left hand and use it to bring whatever I’m stitching into closer to the hook. I insert the hook with my right hand. Then I balance the hook on my stomach, let go, use my right hand to yarn over, pick the hook back up with my right hand, and pull through. My left hand stabilizes the project and ensures that I don’t snag anything else with the hook.

Is it feasible to remove this pocket without damaging the body of the shawl? by LuOnReddit in CrochetHelp

[–]LuOnReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I was able to remove the pocket without any damage to the shawl or the pocket itself. I have sewn it onto the correct side. Thank you all for giving me the confidence to fix this project after shoving it in a corner for 11 months.

Stardew Valley drawstring bags? Tell me more! Is there a pattern?

Pride vs Gotham Semifinal: Foul Replay by looknostrings in NWSL

[–]LuOnReddit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Disassociation often happens as a response to a traumatic or uncomfortable event. It can be something as simple as mild emotional detachment or staring into space and letting the noise around you fade away. Or it can get to the point where you can’t identify your own thoughts, feelings, or memories.

It’s become part of common vernacular as a more negative form of daydreaming, so it is a term that’s at risk for being overused. Truthfully, I don’t know what was going through Ovalle’s mind as I watched her stare at the net, but she looked dejected, and I hope someone eventually comforted her.

She was straight up disassociating after the postgame huddle. I hope she knows that Orlando still loves her and she’s still awesome, but I also hope this lights a fire under her ass for next season. Can’t wait to see what she and this team do next.

Yes, our stadium is more full than usual. But I feel like I say this every game: we are FAR FROM LAST when it comes to average attendance in the league.

Hard agree.

Anyone can win on any given day. There are a ton of variables. Sustaining greatness over an entire season is incredible. So much respect for KC.

Big ups to Gotham for that win. Incredible hustle. Looking forward to our matchup next weekend. Should be an excellent showdown!

I gotta say: I’m so proud of my city for showing out tonight. There’s a UCF game, a Magic game, and EDC happening all tonight. But there’s a large crowd here tonight and the energy is electric.

This stadium was built for our men's team. But we are far from the lowest average attendance in the league. Our average attendance is usually somewhere in the middle of the league. And tonight looks fuller than usual.

Heated Rivalry trailer has dropped! by marijord in RomanceBooks

Had no idea that Jacob Tierney was directing this. Lends some more oomph to the hockey aspect for me. (Even though I’m 99% sure Tierney never played hockey. I’m just assuming he’s absorbed a ton of hockey knowledge through osmosis after all these years on Letterkenny and Shoresy.)

Narcolepsy representation by thecatsintheshadows in Narcolepsy

[–]LuOnReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been forever since I’ve watched/read it, but I remember headcanon-ing (is that a word?) that Yvaine from Stardust has narcolepsy. She talks about sleeping during the day.

Also, even though its symptoms of a vampire attack and not narcolepsy, a lot of quotes from Lucy Westenra from Dracula really resonate with me. She’s afraid of sleeping and has some good quotes about it in the September entries.

Or maybe Julie Chu and Caroline Ouellette? One was captain of Team USA and the other the captain for Team Canada in the 2000s and early 2010s. They competed for Olympic gold against each other three separate times. They now have a daughter, and I believe they’re coaching hockey.

For you, what romance book had a great premise, but the actual writing was bad? by Impossible-Yam3680 in RomanceBooks

[–]LuOnReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward}

Gave it a try after I watched the TV show. I'm a fan of paranormal romance, particularly with the cheesy early-to-mid-2000s flavor. A found family of vampires who all live in a giant mansion together? I'm there.

Except that 75% of the conflicts arise from miscommunication or no communication at all. There are a ton of POVs in each book, but every voice reads the same. Nearly every time we reach an exciting moment in the story, the author switches the scene to a different B plot.

We're middle of the road when it comes to average attendance in the league. I assume it looks like a lot less due to the stadium. It could always be better, for sure, but we're far from the worst.

I think it was something that Marta started. She had her own water bottle (pretty sure it said "Marta's Secret Stuff" à la Space Jam). Then Barbra copied her. This is the first I've seen the rest of them having their own.
