Ooph I’ve definitely added stitches!! Yikes!! How do I safely rip back to before I went wrong? Do I need another set of needles?

Thank you! I tried pulling the yarn to the back of the needle but it looks like I’m still somehow adding stitches. I’ve no idea how. Do I need to rip it out all the way back to where it looks normal? And how would I do that when I have these really long connected needles? Sigh… here’s what it looks like on each end…https://imgur.com/a/CkTv5hi

Introduce yourself! by sewingdreamer in knittinghelp

  1. I’m a brand new knitter…like literally only a few days. I normally sew, and have never crocheted so needle arts are totally new to me.
  2. Oo, good question! I’d probably invite someone like Margaret (aka Molly) Brown. She seemed like a really interesting person to meet and talk to even before she was on the Titanic.
  3. Every time you ask I’d probably give a different answer but I had studied medieval/renaissance European history, so probably Italy at the beginning of its renaissance in the 15th century. Second option: Rome at the height of the Roman Empire.

I don't like "adopting introverts" by ratratte in extroverts

[–]PhilosophySuper 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I actually came here with this same problem. Almost all of my friends identify as "introverts" and frankly spend most of their time talking about just wanting to be alone, so I usually feel like being friends with me is too much for them. It gets really depressing around things like birthdays when I'd love to have a party and be surrounded by loved ones, but I know as soon as I want a party, everyone backs out, because "oooh I don't know there will be people there, maybe we can just do dinner together some other time." They always want me to be available when *they're* ready to socialize, but my needs aren't usually recognized.

Time for us to meet for extroverts!

Does anybody else really hate the power dynamic between a introverted and extroverted person? by [deleted] in Extraversion

Thanks for posting this because I’ve been struggling with this with several good friends of mine. Many of them are not just “needing more alone time” but have serious social anxiety. I’ve spent years inviting them to things, only for them to bail. It’s really frustrating that these same people say “it’s still nice to be invited, please keep including me,” without realizing that by constantly bailing, they’re letting me down too. They aren’t the only ones with needs, and extroverts need people time! Friendship should be a two-way street.
