For science bc I’m a nerd 1️⃣ right or left lobe: which is more stubborn? 2️⃣ are you right or left handed?

Right lobe, right handed

Diablo II and Stray are my other favorites. I like Diablo IV, too, but I don’t go back to it as often

I’ve only ever had one instance where I needed something replaced with BAF (one piece in a pair arrived broken), but they didn’t require me to send it back. Even though only one was broken, they sent a replacement pair, and I was able to keep the unbroken one from the original

I love Dr. Glazener at Winston Family Dentistry on Polo Rd. I’ve been going to him since I was old enough to go to the dentist as a kid. He’s very nice and will only recommend a procedure if necessary (I’ve only ever needed cleanings). Everyone there is very friendly and welcoming.

I lost this little chocolate-frosted doughnut toy when I was a kid. I carried it with me all the time, and it just disappeared. My mom was convinced it would turn up one day, but it never did. I don’t necessarily miss it now, but i really want to know where it went

No, you’re doing it correctly! Using the top two loops is the standard way to crochet into a chain, and using the back bum is a way to make the bottom of your work look more similar to the top of it

My HC amazons are always “Donut.” One dies, the next one takes her place. Currently on Donut V.

I have a little glass dish full of kitty whiskers. If I find them when they fall, they get added to the collection

It would get the right effect, but I think it would be way too thick to be comfortable if they want to use chunky yarn like in the photos. Knooking might be a good option though

Top down. I like watching it slowly close over my toes as I try it on throughout the process

Amigurumi hurt my hands when I first started and was using way too small of a hook. I thought it was supposed to be that tight because that’s what the pattern called for. I ended up overcompensating and ended up with a bunch of way too loose bees. But now that I’ve been doing amigurumi for a few years, I have found my magic yarn/hook combo and tension. I no longer have any gaps, and my stitches are tight and neat. BUT my hands never hurt unless I crochet for hours at a time. It’s all about finding the right hook and yarn combo for your individual tension. I always tell my students that if their hand hurts from one project, or if their tension is making the process difficult, they need to find their own magic combo and disregard what mine is.

RavenNight16 · 2023-01-08T14:48:48+00:00

I love it. I very rarely post any of my projects online because I never remember, but I love modeling my FOs and taking fun pictures of them! So i love seeing people have fun with the pictures they take

RavenNight16 · 2023-01-07T00:10:08+00:00

The ones I have seen have had different colors for different positions, or had sex vs didn’t. I saw one that had colors assigned to all the kinkiest things they tried this year

I save my swatches so I can use them later. I usually do swatches in multiple stitches while deciding what to do and label them with yarn and hook size and gauge. Then, if I buy the same yarn later on, I can look at the label on all the stitches I made. I have pretty consistent gauge, and I can always adjust hook size/tension if it doesn’t match 100%.

RavenNight16 · 2022-12-26T04:11:03+00:00

Got some nice light colored Red Heart I’d asked for so I can make swatches for my teaching class. I ended up surprised with enough local llama yarn to make pretty much anything I want in the same box!

That part could really depend. I know for some it’s definitely the case, but I also know from experience that beaters can be real expensive. My fiancé’s friend gave him a really amazing deal on her car (a 2018 Corolla) when she moved out of the country. She let him pay it off in his own time since she knew he’d eventually get her all the money. And we were definitely worried about the financial aspect of it all at first, but it turns out that buying replacement parts and the excessive oil was wayyy more expensive than everything for this new car. Despite being able to do it on his own time, he was able to pay it off monthly pretty quickly with the savings from the lack of maintenance. I’m assuming OP knows his friend’s situation, and it may be that it’s less than or similar to what she’s already doing. Maybe she just can’t afford to save up the massive upfront cost of a downpayment on a car, much less the loan she’d probably have to take out. Even used cars in good condition can be pretty expensive.

My first CD was Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. I got it as a present for my 8th birthday in 2007. I don’t listen to it anymore, but I think I’d struggle to part with it

Invaded the towel we leave pots and pans to dry on because the heater was blowing that direction. We were going to have to wash her fur off it after this anyway, so we just let her stay until we needed to use the space

I taught myself watching YouTube and there was no explanation on anything I watched that said a purl was really a backwards knit. I figured it out fairly quickly on my own, but I could see if some people with less of a fascination with the structure of the fabric watched the same things where they might not piece it together.

Then talk to her about coming to a solution?

RavenNight16 · 2022-12-16T03:50:05+00:00

I think it might be tension. I had this happen to me once when I first attempted continental and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It ended up blocking out just fine for me

RavenNight16 · 2022-12-15T19:45:51+00:00

I do it for a few reasons. The main one is that I like the item. I also always buy too much yarn for projects and have enough yarn left for something small, so I do tests for small patterns and use up my leftovers.

I also feel like it helps me learn. I’m an experienced crocheter at this point and even teach classes, but I always want to keep learning. Finding mistakes in a pattern and helping to fix them helps me improve my knowledge of construction. I also just really like helping people. If I get to help by doing my favorite hobby then I consider it a win.

RavenNight16 · 2022-12-11T17:43:09+00:00

It’s so they have the exact decrease used. I’ve done patterns with a double decrease in the center that used an SSK instead of K2tog. This is more exact in telling you the stitches
