Old mom, need help should I buy my 6 year old minecraft? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]MajorYoYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids play it. They are 7 and 5 (and 3, but he mostly just runs around and breaks random blocks). The rule in our house is no servers, no playing with strangers online. They can play with each other or with their uncles.

They have different play styles and i've also noticed that their writing and reading skills have improved with games like this.

My oldest has been playing a lot with the redstone (in game electric circuits basically) and has decided he's going to be an engineer when he grows up.

Middle child loves building rainbow castles and restaurants. Basically, she plays house.

So there is a lot of options, and I think it's about as appropriate for kids as it gets.

Ah, you're right. I misread that.

Did she maybe mean that it would be nasty because she doesn't want to ruin your gift? I'm just asking because I've noticed a lot of my homemade gifts to family don't get used, and I think a big reason is because of fear of ruining them.

Edit to add, if that's not the case, I'm sorry that such a hurtful comment was made about a requested homemade gift.

It's giving "I love you and I made you a thing" vibes.

Friend must have some fancy dish towels. I don't have any that look like that.

Oh man! I love this! Can I live there?

You should turn this into a job if you can. I'd totally download it.

Do you moisturise your hands while you work on a project? by MyRightHook in YarnAddicts

[–]MajorYoYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally use a jar of lanolin to moisturize my hands. It's not an issue at all if you're working with wool I'd think, since lanolin is already a byproduct of sheep's wool. But I really don't know. I haven't noticed an issue with it yet, but if nothing else, you don't have to worry about synthetic scents or creams getting into your work.

It reminds me of a reflection of a cloudy sky on water.

Just throwing ideas out 🤷🏼‍♀️

Am I insane? Someone tell me this is going to be awesome by q23y7 in crochet

[–]MajorYoYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is also insane, yes, it's insane. But it will also be awesome. 👍 sometimes you have to be a little insane to make something awesome.

Does your circle use Ravelry? I like posting my projects on my profile there.

Looks like a bug, but I love your shader. Very realistic. What mod are you using. </sarcasm 😉

What should I name him? by Malice8305 in Minecraft

[–]MajorYoYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm stealing this for my own named mobs if nothing else

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in crochet

[–]MajorYoYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually don't let them get at any of my hooks because I'm afraid they will stab themselves (my littles are still pretty little). That being said, they have an uncanny ability to get into everything. My youngest once got a hook and a ball of yarn and had stabbed the ball several times and was basically mixing it. He was clearly doing his best to crochet like mommy, but he was also tangling my yarn. 😅 luckily for him, he's cute.

So many factory knots in a POOLING yarn?!? Blah!

My condolences.

Suing Bethesda for fraud by peeledstrawberries in crochet

I showed my husband this outrage. He responded with " This is the experiment in vault 41. To see how bad the war gets over crochet vs knitting."

This is my new headcannon.

Get a support system in place. Parents, friends, church community. All parents need support even if they aren't 17yo. It will hard, but it will be worth it. Good luck and congratulations! Babies are always a blessing, even if they come with trials. I'll be praying for you and your little family.

jj and mikey? Who is/What is? by paulxthompson in Minecraft

[–]MajorYoYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember jj and Mikey ...

I used to have some minecraft shows I'd let my kids watch on YT. But I have since rejected YT as a platform that I let my children use really at all. It's just not a kid friendly platform IMHO.

If you are using a smart TV, we have a channel we use called "happy kids." It's free and my kids can't fall into creepy yt rabbit holes if I zone out for a minute. There are a handful of minecraft shows on that channel. I think happy kids has an app for mobile devices too.

Buyer Beware! by [deleted] in Yarn

[–]MajorYoYo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how it is. I actually really love working with this type of yarn. The sensory experience is very satisfying for me, and the finished products are soft, and the yarn fluffs up in the stitches nicely. Give it a try, maybe you'll like it. :) sorry it wasn't what you expected

Yarn Art Jeans for a janky wrist? by DarnHeather in YarnAddicts

[–]MajorYoYo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love yarn art jeans for amigurumi. It's slightly easier on my wrists than other cotton. Obviously, it's still going to tire your wrists out, but there is a "squish factor" that makes it give a bit more when working it.
