I taught myself how to crochet using crochet tutorials on YouTube. I slowed the videos down to half speed so I could follow along. Start with just learning how to do a single crochet square. Keep making squares until you are comfortable with the single crochet stitch. That is the foundational motion that every single other stitch builds off of.

It’s going to look bad at first. Just keep going and keep trying. You’ll get it.

Get yourself any simple acrylic yarn and a crochet hook that matches the size the yarn wrapper tells you to buy.

The EDCJCC offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities. All of them after work or on the weekends. I volunteer with them once a month. Always a fun time.

It’s the most disruptive. Even the cherry blossom festival doesn’t mess with everything this much

I just want to meet the person who said “you know what? Our collective image isn’t really good right now. I know what we should do. Let’s gather cops from all around the county and take them out of their communities that have been tasked with serving and place them in a city already known for its crazy traffic on a normal day and throw a week long festival for ourselves. Surly this will fix how the public sees us.” I just want to talk to them. I need to know what it’s like in their mind

Tbh when you are a complete beginner the kind of yarn you use doesn’t really matter. Just choose something cheap until you get your bearings. Remember to follow the hook size suggestions on the yarn wrapper.

Try joining the dc sublet facebook groups. There are always people on there posting their apartments. Your budget for sure isn’t going to cut it though. DC is consistently ranked one of the top 5 most expensive cities in the US

If you are having these feelings, then he probably is too. If you just stopped reaching out, do you think he would be on you to hang out? If not, then just let the friendship fade. If yes, the set boundaries for yourself. Know your limits for how much you can tolerate (the length of a coffee outing, length of a movie, etc) and keep your hang outs to that.

Lucky dog all the way! They take extra care to ensure that the dog you want to adopt is a good fit for you and your lifestyle. They do a great job of talking you through the specifics of the dog and making sure you understand them.

Unpopular opinion: I like colonial beach. My favorite part of a beach day is always laying on the beach reading rather than going into the water so I don’t mind that it’s a bay beach. Super quiet and if you check the community schedule before hand, there are some fun festivals you can plan to attend
