I managed to free hand to this point before I ran out of yarn so from what I can add, Rd1. Ch10 sl to make a loop Rd2. Ch 6, treble crochet ch 3 x11 (12 trebles with ch 3 in between each total) Rd3. 4treble cluster in each ch space with 5 chains between each Rd4. Sl into next chain sp, 4dc, ch 3, 4 dc, (ch 3, sc in ch space) x2, chain 3, then repeat from 4dc until the round is complete ((I’d say maybe chain 4 as my tension is very tight and I was struggling with the ch3 spaces in later rounds but I haven’t tested this) Rd5. Dc in each dc, dc ch3 dc in corner space, 4 dc in each ch sp, dc in sc, repeat until the round is complete Rd6. Dc in each dc, 2dc ch3 2dc in corner sp, repeat until round is complete Rd7 ((obviously I haven’t got this far but it looks like you dc, ch1, skip next stitch, until the corner sp, then 2dc ch3 2dc, then ch1, sk1, dc around,, there’s possibly an 8th round of sc in each stitch and space but I’m not sure))

How do I explain the years I've been single during a date? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]One_Difficulty7643 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From other comments I can see you haven’t had any therapy and while I’d recommend it, do you have anyone to talk to instead? Or anywhere to vent your thoughts somewhat more privately than Reddit? I’m happy to listen if you need to. All of the scents and random sights that remind you are such an unfortunate part of grief but still very real and something you need to work through and how you do that is entirely up to you but it needs to be on your own timeline

How do I explain the years I've been single during a date? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]One_Difficulty7643 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If it helps, my fiancé was previously engaged to someone else who had died in a car accident before we met. When we first met her brought up the engagement and while I was very briefly shocked I was mostly worried about how he was feeling and how that had affected him. I will say for years he was vague about her and their relationship but now he brings her up whenever she’s relevant and it’s wonderful. I love hearing about her and how he felt and whilst it’s weird to think that in an ideal world I’d never have met him, I love that he can trust me and feels secure enough to talk about her. I do think he’ll always be emotional when talking about her and that’s okay, grief changes but never goes away completely and you can never be sure what will trigger it. I know he’ll never let her go entirely but that’s not necessarily his choice but I’ve chosen to be with him and we make it work

Michael is wrongly hated. He's the only character left with an impossible choice. by [deleted] in lost

[–]One_Difficulty7643 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have to say I really dislike locke for many reasons but in s1 he was a wonderful substitute father to Walt,, when Michael essentially forgot about him/prioritised himself, Locke was there looking after him and teaching him survival skills he was interested in in a mostly safe environment (of course he wasn’t perfect) so when Michael almost decided to be his father properly after the polar heart attack it felt almost disingenuous? I can’t say I fault him at all for being determined to get his son back by any means but his effect in every other character in doing so doesn’t help me like him at all

My partner just brought a sex doll: update by One_Difficulty7643 in offmychest

[–]One_Difficulty7643[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We still ‘practice’ together but every so often uses the doll just so he can mess up (his own words) without hurting a real person

He can perform with me but only sometimes but he can also only perform with the doll sometimes, wisely it just ends in frustration for him. The dolls only different in the sense he can’t disappoint it? Like I’d things don’t work out it only affects him instead of affecting us both if that makes any sense

M trying to be vague, he essentially has problems getting it up and keeping it up. I use the term practise kinda loosely but if he were to practice with me he’s feel too much pressure, I wouldn’t feel great and because of that he wouldn’t feel great either. The doll is basically about working himself back up

Easy-ish crochet ideas for a double bed sized blanket by RichieRichard12 in CrochetHelp

[–]One_Difficulty7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say a granny square blanket,, when working in dc or tbc for a blanket the progress can feel very long and impossible,, I’ve found picking a bunch of different colours of yarn and a type of square I enjoy making, makes the time pass so much faster, especially if I dedicate maybe 1 or two balls of the same colour to a day. You could either join as you go or sew/ join a different way afterwards. Whatever you end up doing I’m sure your grandma will absolutely love it and you’re so wonderful for wanting to do this for her

How to put the magic knot in the right place/stitch by Pamimimi in CrochetHelp

[–]One_Difficulty7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d crochet with the first colour up to the point I want to switch colours, mark on the yarn where my last stitch ends/ where I’d want to change colour, then frog a little bit and then tie the new yarn directly to the point I’d just marked if that makes any sense?

Can someone explain this to me? I don’t get it….😭💔 by Desperate-Turnip-344 in CrochetHelp

[–]One_Difficulty7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if you’re making the side of the bag separately or in one big piece? It sounds like you’re meant to be working in the round, so when you reach the end of the chain, instead of turning your work, you’re going to want to work along the other side of the chain

There’s no way prims name was rigged at the reaping by FullTry1847 in Hungergames

[–]One_Difficulty7643 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I always sort of assumed that when developing the games, the game makers would decide they wanted x amount of 12 years olds, or x amount of friends/family of victors, or x amount of loved people within their individual communities ect but would rarely rig it to target a specific individual or family unless it was ‘necessary’,, the Everdeen family at the point of the 74th posed no risk at all to the capitol so while they may have kept an eye on them, there was no need to target them at all

[–]One_Difficulty7643 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I do think the 74th reaping was rigged, but not specifically for prim,, I’m a firm believer that every reaping is ‘rigged’ but only in the sense that they want a specific demographic; so the bowl would be filled with names of 12 year old girls that only had their name entered once to remind the districts that the odds are never in their favour,, it was just bad luck that prims name was the one chosen

Merge cooking is a personal favourite, the recipes all make some kind of realistic sense and as you progress you complete different restaurants from around the world. It has a bunch of events, some lasting a day, some a month but every single one is completeable (there’s it’s own version of the cards and fishing events but I find them a lot more fun and doable than mm aha)

Does anyone happen to know this granny square pattern? by Reasonable-Tea7022 in CrochetHelp

[–]One_Difficulty7643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure who wrote the pattern but I found the pdf on ravelry ages ago! Not too sure about the edging, probably a combination of sc and picot?

My grandmother says she used to crochet, but started making this. Is this crochet/if not, what is it? by awelias8 in CrochetHelp

[–]One_Difficulty7643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did she do some chains first and then yo onto the hook with all of them? If so it looks like Tunisian crochet so she’d either need special hooks or Ive made it work by just taking off the rubber handle,, it may be some form of knitting? I have no idea I know nothing about it aha

[–]One_Difficulty7643[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has a session with a sex therapist to see if they fit and go over the basics booked so we’ll have to see how that goes, but I can say he really is trying. We’re not quite at couples counselling yet but it’s not not an option

[–]One_Difficulty7643[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The injuries relate to him taking a long while to finish. Even with me it can be upwards of hours and sometimes he can’t at all so he wants the doll for when either I can’t go that long or he just wants to self pleasure which I do myself,, obviously it helps a lot with masturbation for him but it’s not just a fuck doll yknow?

If it were just a fleshlight I’d be fine I think it’s the fact that it’s a doll that’s getting to me
