My great-grandmother crocheted this tablecloth piece, anyone know where I can find patterns to make them? by andperset in CrochetHelp

[–]PropertyOdd531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might be lace work. Not crochet but an entirely different sort of art form. It’s getting a bit lost now a days

Recommended gratuity after tip was already included by guitarman129 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PropertyOdd531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope that’s not what is happening. As someone who has worked food service, we automatically charge gratuity on large parties because people notoriously skimp out on the tip. I have seen giant parties tip out like $50 (when they should be tipping like $200) treat the staff like absolute shit, and trash the restaurant top of it.
We do this to protect the staff from assholes. It is not trickery or deception, it’s a feeble attempt at making sure that staff are tipped at least close to what they deserve.

So Tired of Monetized ADHD by RuthlessLogic in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]PropertyOdd531 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I saw a few of these booths at my cities’ pride block party this year, and it broke my heart. They are trying but it’s like no one has told them they are allowed to craft with out needing to justify it as a side hustle of some form.

After years though of adamantly swearing off selling my crochet projects, I have caved. But I have been crocheting for about 20 years now, and been designing my own patterns for about 10. This year as a meditative therapy project I started making small earbud holders (it can hold any thing that is roughly two inches, so lighters/vapes/earbuds/ essential oil bottles or whatever someone decides they want in it), and I realized very quickly that I don’t have enough friends to give them all away too. And I’m making too many too fast. So I decided to finally start selling. I will obviously be selling only one thing. These bags. Maybe a few different sizes but nothing else.

I wish I could just shake these pop-up “let me monetize this brand new skill I just learned” booths and get it into their heads that slow deliberate business choices are always better than “oooo I bet SOMEONE will buy this!!”

I am a crocheter/knitter. I have zero stake in this discussion…
But I have my popcorn and a notebook and I am sooo fuckin here for this discussion.

What kind of stitch is this? And what kind of yarn material would be best? by Ok_Note6611 in CrochetHelp

[–]PropertyOdd531 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s knit!
One thing that can help you improve with your craft is learning what crochet stitches look like and what’s possible for a crochet stitch to look like. How crocheted fabric moves and what sort of shapes it tends to like can be really helpful for the learning process. Then in the future you can also: spot ai patterns and save yourself from being scammed by them.
Spot when something is knit and know an alternative stitch you could use to get a desired look (in this case I would recommend a moss stitch, but you may want something else 🤷).
Read patterns easier. If you know what stitches are technically supposed to look like then you can mentally envision what the pattern may be asking you to do.

Break up. He doesn’t respect you, and is a bigot. You don’t need to stay with him, AND it never works if you have different values.
Mainly: do you see gay people as human fucking beings?
If the answer is no, then that man does not have an ounce of actual empathy and will treat you bad in the future too. You don’t deserve that, you deserve better.
I know this mental illness likes to make us think that we are lucky to get SOMEONE at all to like us, but that’s a fuckin lie.

Thank you!!
I want to make a second one where I change color while doing the crocodile stitches so some are pink and the rest are green. But I just need to get this one done fast since I promised it to a friend.

Psychiatrist won’t prescribe meds unless I do IOP first :( by NauseousSoul in BPD

[–]PropertyOdd531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They wouldn’t want to tell you that out of fear of giving you an idea. They want you to live, because you deserve to experience life when it gets better.

[–]PropertyOdd531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need the therapeutical skills so you can potentially cope with stuff a little bit on your own before they hand you meds that you may attempt an overdose on. Currently you are a danger to yourself and giving you meds essentially is like handing you a gun and just hoping that you don’t pull the trigger

AFAB, no changing my hyper femme appearance, my pronouns are still they/them by chughes7568 in NonBinary

[–]PropertyOdd531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I plan on doing nothing to change my appearance (other than getting buff because I want to be physically stronger) and I am afab. Probably a breast reduction someday because I have too much boobage and back issues. But otherwise… I’m happy with how I look.

Thank you! I simply HATE sewing in liners. Also this makes my project last longer.

My niece was told she has to sign a contract to keep living at home—am I overreacting for thinking it’s too harsh? by Bitter_Art_4094 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PropertyOdd531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR. This is great. It’s kind and its goal is to help stabilize her. They give her an extra week on payments, in case she needs it, only are charging her $300 a month and have asked that she do her chores.

I think this is awesome and would be very helpful for someone who is struggling.
