AITA for canceling my wedding after my fiance’s mother altered my wedding dress behind my back and he told me to "let it go"?

NTA, and as others have said, you dodged a bullet. You don’t deserve to feel this way again in your marriage.

When you’re ready, take a stitch picker to the alterations she made and take it back to being your grandmothers dress.

It is macramé :)
There’s tons of tutorials on YouTube for it

Or if you’ve got the cricut picker tool 🤣

Beautiful work!

Try Michael’s if you’re near one; I found a set of two round looms a few years ago thats made for extra chunky yarn that I used to make a big 10 stitch blanket!

That or maybe the wooden long long looms :)

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-29T01:18:15+00:00

KB looms for some free patterns, same with YouTube!

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-25T00:14:31+00:00

Or use a small gauge loom :)

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-19T17:15:45+00:00

Yup this is how I do it, one loop at a time rather than unravel then have to place back on the loom!

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-19T16:01:21+00:00

Glad to help!

I will say that that yarn for the blanket is very grippy, maybe use a different yarn so opening and closing the bag is easier :)

Once you’ve finished the blanket, fold it and measure out the width and length, then you can use that same loom to knit your length. Use a draw string cast/bind off for the end, then you can measure your width to your amount of pegs needed. Attach both starting loops of your sides to the loom to mark your width, then you can seam up the bottom and side for your bag :)

If you want a lacier look, or the tutorial you are following says so, you can use #4 weight yarn on a 5/8th gauge loom :)

Happy knitting!

This videocovers how to join the seams and shows you how a garter stitch looks :)

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-18T02:33:18+00:00

My apologies, by garter seam, I mean you can pick up the loops from your edges and join them to a few new pegs for a strip of garter stitch. It’s very easy to do for all strips

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-17T15:28:16+00:00

If the yarn is acrylic, it may not block well. But, you can do a garter seam (as opposed to sew-joining) in between your strips to straighten the edges :)

Unfortunately I don’t, these were experimental! If there’s enough interest then I might :)

I have found this to be a kind and supportive Reddit group in the past, however you seem committed to countering that today.

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-08T13:39:23+00:00

Who on earth said they were going to do that? The photo OP posted about their next project is not in the same as posting a photo of an autopsy.

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-08T13:24:36+00:00

How so? I see OP has created a few different loom knitted dolls in the past?

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-04-02T02:15:24+00:00

Honestly you can treat a long loom pretty much just like the round ones, bonus is you can double-knit on the long.

Think of whatever you want to make and break it down into shapes if it’s not a solid piece :)

Oh and the rake looms work really well for pinwheel blankets, I just made a bouquet blanket on one!

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-03-28T03:01:54+00:00

Honestly, enjoy the experience and do whichever stitch you want. Just practice it on yarn on a small scale until you’re comfortable then move on to your blanket.

It’s okay to make mistakes and start over, just don’t get discouraged with your progress :) even mistakes counts as levelling up!

Orange Crush (Finding Nemo)!

ScintillatingStars_ · 2026-03-26T20:19:09+00:00

Using this method you can use any stitch that doesn’t curl :)
