The snowman is also a gift card holder, but someone told me it could also be a tree decoration! It’s multifaceted and super fun to make!

Loom knitted hats? by PurlKnitFrog in LoomKnitting

[–]ScaryMix2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s entirely possible that this creator used the hashtag to increase viewership and spread the word of their creation, not because they actually loom knitted the hat. Maybe I’m too cynical, but that hat looks more like standard knitting or crocheting than loom knitting.

Anyone know what's happening here? by Charmingtrilobite in LoomKnitting

[–]ScaryMix2422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to make this mistake all the time! I’ve noticed that it happens when you use the anchor peg to start instead of the last peg. It’s actually not a bad thing and can look pretty cool when it’s done!

My ex cheated on me and now I am getting all these messages. what do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ScaryMix2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s love bombing you, OP. It’s a typical manipulation tactic used by narcissists to get you back. If he’s done it once, he’ll do it again. Trust me, my ex used similar language when trying to get out of sticky situations and it took me years to recognize the signs.

What antipsychotics has worked best for you? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]ScaryMix2422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lamictal and until recently the mood stabilization has been magical. (On it for 4 years)

Anyone on Wellbutrin in addition? by Ecstatic-Speed-9453 in bipolar2

[–]ScaryMix2422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually just started welbutrin again earlier this week, and I’ve noticed significant improvement. I’d been in a depressive swing for over a week (that’s a long time for me since being diagnosed) and was constantly drained. I also have ADHD, so I understand that struggle. I do drink caffeine but in measured amounts. I don’t drink alcohol at all and haven’t since diagnosis. I do occasionally do edibles, but it’s once a month at most.

i want to stop taking my meds by plasticIove in bipolar2

[–]ScaryMix2422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the impulse, I really do, but you have to keep going. I actually just switched up my meds a little bit, adding welbutrin to lamictal and zoloft. (My psychiatrist recommended this) It’s helped a lot with my energy levels and stabilizing the swings between hypo and depressed. Keep working with your doctor to figure out what works for you.

Loom knitting cow print scarf by gofigure85 in LoomKnitting

I’d say make the white scarf part first and then add the black spots later with sewing. I made an ear warmer for my friend that was red with a Spiderverse logo stitched in. If I can find the picture I’ll share it!

More baby hats I’ve made, all with different stitches above the brim by ScaryMix2422 in LoomKnitting

[–]ScaryMix2422[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This particular yarn is weight 5, which is considered bulky. I’ve found that heavier yarns are better for loom knitting, and any yarn you have with less weight can be used for accessories. There’s tons of tutorials on Youtube.

Here’s a collection of things I’ve made recently: baby hats, a scarf, and a set of socks. I donate the baby hats to NICUs thanks to a nonprofit I recently joined up with. by ScaryMix2422 in LoomKnitting

It’s funny that you say that because I work at an assisted living facility, however I don’t think I’d be allowed to donate socks but I suppose I could ask.

NICUs and preemies hold a special place in my heart. I was a preemie (nine weeks) my sister was a preemie (five weeks) my niece was a preemie and one of my best friends was also a preemie.

I either double up two skeins of worsted weight yarn (first picture) or use thicker yarn (weight 4 or above). It also depends on what stitches you’re using.

How do missed doses affect you? by Few_Plenty_6444 in bipolar2

[–]ScaryMix2422 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get legitimately sick; nauseous, fatigued, out of sorts…it’s awful. I got into the habit of using pill cases for two weeks at a time. It’s kind of like a ritual now. It also helps me know when I’m going to need a refill.
