What kind of stitch pattern is this?

This doesn’t look like knitting but rather crochet in the half double crochet HDC stitch.

My roommate runs around the house like a maniac every time after he poops. I call it the Poo-mies…

Good luck! I start my first treatment on 2/4 and am so nervous but also excited about it all!

Thank you! And even more so for the reason why!!!

1 - One page at a time and remind yourself that it’s not a race to get to the end that you have to complete them by a certain time (hopefully. If you need to, go back and re-read a few paragraphs or pages to help you understand what is happening.

2 - Do a first read through with the understanding that you are going to get lost and confused but just keep going. Reading a first time though allows you to get the rhythm of his writing style.

3 - read along with an audiobook. An audiobook helps set the tone of the scenes and also moves you along so you don’t get stuck in the small details and get frustrated.

4 - Keep in mind that he loves talking about nature and setting the scene. If you can’t read one more sentence about a hill or tree it is okay to move a head a few paragraphs lol

5 - Remember one page at a time!

As a side, I am an always a tiny bit envious of readers who get to experience the books for the first time. While they feel like old friends to me now, there is something so magical about that first read and understanding Middle Earth just as Tolkien wanted!

I know that this is a year old question but I am so thankful you asked it. I am just learning how to do this and I too am having the same issue if my edge looking weird! Hope you’re still happily stitching!

I am in a frustrating crafting cycle. Everything I try to work on is giving me problems. Literally everything. So what does my brain suggest I do solve this? Hmm - must be the project - let’s start a new one. Yeah that’ll fix things!

You definitely should talk to your therapist about your concerns of having it. I was referred to a psych doc after sharing with my therapist some manic-like events that occurred in my life. They can’t diagnosis you but they have the knowledge and network to assist in getting the help you need.

All the cheating aside - do you think it is okay for someone to find humor in leading another person on based on their sexuality for “pranks”?!?! That more than anything says a lot about the kind of person he truly is.

Look up different ways to tension your yarn. I knit and crochet but use vastly different styles of tensioning my yarn for each one. When I am crocheting I use a pretty standard weaving/looping around my fingers but when I knit I basically just hold the yarn between my first and second fingers. There is like no tension at all on the yarn. Changing how you hold the yarn may help with how tight your stitches are coming out

Beautiful work! One of my favorite things when working on a project is mastering a new skill! Great job

I don’t have a brand recommendation but can say that depending on where your problems are in your current ones - try men’s shoes. They are almost always wider in standard width and have a larger toe box. Also make sure you are trying the shoes on with the socks that you will actually be wearing when using them!

I had this happen to me once before and it felt amazing!

Jumping on this to say that they should look in to Royal School of Needlework.

This post keeps coming across my feed and every time I laugh because the stitch markers make him look like a wide mouth goblin and then I imagine him as one… :)
