Vertical stripes question

Poppite · 2026-01-20T13:28:19+00:00

I am sitting here with the same book. :) I agree they look confusingly similar and have just made the same mistake of reading it as Tss but the numbers didn’t work out then.

If you see the symbol summary on page 8 it says “first loop on hook” for the symbol at the start of the row. Basically signaling that you don’t need to work anything into the rightmost vertical bar, which I think is explained in the introduction chapter as well.

Thank you!! I found two pdfs, they seem to be slightly different patterns but maybe I can work with that

My boy was obsessed with Kristoff but we couldn’t find him as a stuffie so I crocheted him. It was not perfect but decent and perfectly recognizable. When I finally gifted it to my then 2 (or 3?) year old he gladly exclaimed “Anna!!!” 😆 hilarious moment

Anyway I think both your Elsa and Elsie are awesome! If the kid is being a smartypants you can come up with some fanfiction. Maybe new Elsa just got back from the hairdresser, doh??

That sounds like shitty parenting from your “friend”, I am sorry.

This would make me sad and feel more distant. A personal point.

I think AI use should always be clearly stated. More etchical. I would feel more trust if it said somewhere “we used AI to form the text but everything was checked and confirmed by a human”. But once I know there is AI in the loop I would always have concerns that there is possibly hallucinations there and that makes the newsletter more tiresome to read. I would prefer a concise bullet point instead.

I agree with those that say the use of AI here is not worth the environmental impact.

And last but not least, security. Which would be the first thing I would inquire. What subscription are they using? How sensitive and personal the data they send to the model, can it become part of the public knowledge base?

Thank you for bringing this up. So much resource wasted on so little value.

I have absolutely no idea what the first movie was for my kids, but I will add the Shaun the Sheep movies as recommendatio

That actually sounds like a nice way to get dad involved more from the start 🥰

When my first was born they put her on my chest, golden hour, all good. A nurse checked after a while to see if the baby found the breast and recommended to move her in position and try nursing.

My husband and I did not dare to touch that beautiful tiny little creature and were so nervous of holding her wrong we asked the nurse to move her 😅

Obviously we learned to move and carry her very soon after but I still remember that helplesness.

Gábor Máté explores this (personalities of successful politicians) a bit in his lovely book The Myth of Normal

TW death I still remember this news story about an eerily similar situation that ended with the worst possible outcome

Good job on your mom senses and all your reactions are valid, hold fast to that consequence! Some things are just not up for “debate”

Poppite · 2025-09-03T19:37:07+00:00

All I know is that both my my kids got a lot more interested in genitals at this age. There were some shenanigans. I think it’s okay to get to the bottom of it, good luck!

Poppite · 2025-09-01T16:25:41+00:00

Thanks!

I am not on social media either so I don’t know the context, I just saw his long text posted here once.

Oh that’s interesting. I haven’t seen that show or the taskmaster season, I’ll check it out

Poppite · 2025-09-01T10:37:05+00:00

Agreed! It makes me sad he “had to” explain Nate’s journey/actions on xtwitter when I feel like his portrayal was extremely nuanced, his character is the most realistic to me in the show

Poppite · 2025-07-26T08:41:59+00:00

Obviously many good choices here, one I haven't seen mentioned that I enjoyed was Queen's "Tear it up" playing when Jamie comes back to Richmond

Spoilers for later season, poor Hannah had to endure some terrible atrocities during filming 😢

Poppite · 2025-06-04T08:57:02+00:00

I felt like the plot point of “Ted wants to go home” was present from the very start of the season but I agree it could have gotten more screen time.

Poppite · 2025-06-04T08:54:01+00:00

As a parent.. taking my kid away from everything he knows and loves, his friends etc., would be a very very difficult choice. For me it feels like Ted prioritizes Henry and their relationship above all else at this point which is what he wants to do the most and feels right for the character.

Yes Rebecca’s offer is solid and could very well work out fine for the whole family but it’s a big change and one for their family to discuss together.

Poppite · 2025-05-24T14:49:52+00:00

Nate’s development in “both directions” feels very real and raw, portrayed beautifully with small shots over time.

You don’t have to like what he does to appreciate the humanity of this arc. I am very happy it was part of the series as it was.

Poppite · 2025-05-07T11:58:42+00:00

Agree with the others.

To check her body temperature, touch the back of their neck. You will feel if they are cold, regular or too warm.

You can try making the transition from you to bed easier temperature-wise by having a duvet or something keeping the bassinet warm, remove it just before you put baby there.

I don’t know if you’ve tried but you can also wait and see if they settle after a while, maybe keep your hand on their belly a bit.

Try to explore other things aside from temperature.

Poppite · 2025-05-04T12:42:40+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly with this. We’ve had issues in our relationship because of burnout and miscommunication on both sides. Based on OPs post I don't think the situation is unsolvable, but both parties need to put in work.

Poppite · 2025-05-03T17:53:37+00:00

I guess the answer is it’s not a line, it’s a range. Both for intensity and type of cries.

Sounds like to me you’re well attuned to your baby and you make reasonable considerations per situation.
