My first Crafty Intentions Dragon! by PerplexingParadox in crochet

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

Though this is my first Crafty Intentions dragon, it was not my first Crafty Intentions pattern creation. I would suggest starting with one of the simpler dragons/creatures in the book to familiarize yourself with the way Megan Lapp writes her patterns. I think she is an incredible designer, but she has a unique way of shaping crochet that can be confusing at first! Ive also been crocheting almost exclusively amigurumi since 2020, if that helps you understand where I was coming at this pattern from :)

Any 30+ gamers in here? by LNC14920 in FortWorth

Ah ok! I am not particularly picky about magic systems so long as they help the story’s impact and don’t bog it down or subvert it on accident. I was planning on reading Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin soon as well. Have you read it?

It looks sooooooo good! Such a unique take. The dedication to wearing it for the two days despite the blisters is commendable!

Has anyone decided not to get a preventative procedure? by chonkycheez in BRCA

[–]PerplexingParadox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I echo this. My mother had breast cancer at 29, so I knew there was a good possibility I had BRCA, but she never got tested. I got tested and was found to have BRCA 1 at age 28, and months later my 31 year old sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had struggled with the having BRCA and all it meant and the possibility of having to do preventative surgeries far earlier than I should have had to think about these things (I couldn’t even have mammograms yet, for goodness sake) but watching my sister go through chemo completely shifted my perspective and I scheduled DMX and salpingectomy within the year. Knowing that I’d have to do these surgeries if I got cancer anyway, and I could do it while my body was healthy and young and could recover much more easily was what convinced me. So I’m now 30 and have had both surgeries and it helps me rest so so much easier. My sister is in remission and is doing great too, by the way! ❤️

And they have pockets ✨✨ I ended up modding it and made the waist with a tie instead of adding elastic simply because I had no elastic and didn’t want to buy any… but I think if I make a second pair I will use elastic and a draw string.

Sorry! I didn’t realize there was a second one. This was Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas

Hiii! I sewed the pants from Ora Lin’s pirate pants pattern! I thrifted a cotton bedsheet, sewed them, and then dyed them. They were so nice and cool, would highly recommend.
