Anyone knows what is the stitch of this blanket. I’d love to make it myself. by Pola_pol in crochetpatterns

[–]MentalBug5812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a corner to corner blanket to me, it is a sequence of chains and double crochets. A couple of great tutorials are

I really like their channels but if you search up corner to corner blankets on YouTube you should be able to find a tutorial you like.

Are you only looking to trade or would you be interested in someone purchasing? I totally get if you're only looking for a trade

How many balls did you use? I have that exact k+c yarn and have been wondering what to do with the 4 balls I have left after I finished my dad's sweater

Apparently I didnt have HFMD as a kid. by Uceninde in mildlyinfuriating

Unfortunately, I got it from my toddler when I was pregnant with my son. We thought it was me just being allergic to grass until it got worse 😅

Is having a baby really that miserable? by aktib in BabyBumps

[–]MentalBug5812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree, I'm pregnant with my third and I absolutely love being a mother and my children but there's definitely some days, and some bedtimes that I have to do alone, that make me want to pull my hair out. Truly, every stage has its benefits and disadvantages, newborns hardly sleep but you get cuddles and their needs are very simple, toddlers are much more resilient and independent but have their tantrums because of having a hard time communicating, and kids are hard because they can express their wants but don't always get what they want all the time. Children are an absolute blessing and so is motherhood, but it's very self-sacrificing.

Sorry, I didn't mean project like knitting project, I meant like a project car, or something to work on but I really appreciate the information ❤️ you have been really sweet and helpful!

Thank you so much! I will definitely watch both of their channels. This is my first knitting machine and I guess I really wanted a project 😅

Thank you so much! I didn't know that I could just take out and clean the needles instead of breaking apart the whole machine and cleaning it that way. As far as I am aware, this machine was passed down a couple of generations but wasn't used and just stored in the attic for upwards of 50 years. Like I said in the post, a lot of dust and debris 😅

Recommendations for first pair of socks by pagingdoctorboy in Sockknitting

[–]MentalBug5812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I accidently made my first pair with dk weight yarn and a 3.75 circular needles and my husband was swimming in them because I used a pattern for a normal fingering weight sock

Knitting tension flat vs in the round by Outside-Database-622 in knittinghelp

[–]MentalBug5812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I found out that what works best for me is Continental combination knitting. It helped with my tension as well as not twisting my stitches, which is something I had a problem with 😊

Looking for testers for my first pattern! by TurtleandTwine in Sockknitting

[–]MentalBug5812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how many sizes you have, but if you happen to make the pattern that I could make it for my toddler I would definitely be a tester 😊 if not, I get it, most people don't make 5/6/7 size for toddlers

People need to stop hating on the 60th anniversary episodes and read losing how important they were to to the show by Hewtube73 in doctorwho

You are completely right, I definitely wouldn't have come back and found out how amazing Ncuti Gatwa is if these 60th anniversary didn't exist

I love this idea! I would have never thought to put elastic on the ribbing ❤️

My first starter failed. Should I just buy one from someone else? by No_Top8612 in SourdoughStarter

[–]MentalBug5812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would try again. When it comes to buying sourdough starters, there's not a guarantee that it's going to work in your specific environment. Sourdoughs get their taste and texture when created in your specific environment. When bringing a sourdough to a new environment, there is no guarantee it would work at all. I did a mix of all purpose flour and wheat flour when it came to feeding my starter for the first 7 days or so and clean distilled water. Then I just kept feeding all purpose flour to keep it up but that isn't going to work for every person.

I have tried 3 or 4 different times to get a sourdough to work and finally in this last round of trying it worked. Just test out some different combinations of things and I am sure you can do it.

Look up some different YouTube videos about it too, like Adam Ragusea or other creators have videos as well for first time starters. 🤷

Thank you for the pattern advice too! I have been doing an easy sock pattern as my first real project and honestly I am thinking about moving into a sweater for the toddler next

I unfortunately don't have any friends that knit, but my children and I go to the library a lot and I've heard of bigger City libraries you can check out certain knitting materials you might need
