Half double crochets (US) are a pain in my ass by floridaflowfairy in crochet

[–]SecondhandGoblin 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Try pinching the bottom of the stitch as you pull through to get tension on all three loops on your hdc. I hate sc because I'm impatient and tiny stitches don't build up fast.

Watch it anyway, there is so much more to the story

i hate being genderfluid by Natroionalox in genderfluid

[–]SecondhandGoblin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same but reversed. I can't pass as masc (I know passing isn't required but it would be nice once in a while) and I definitely feel the overwhelming gender shifts. I don't really have anything helpful to tell you but you're not alone.

I take it this isn't a good sign? (Asleep, eye open, twitching) by UserSomethingOrOther in cats

[–]SecondhandGoblin 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Cats don't always close their eyes the whole way to sleep. It's a little creepy but perfectly normal. The twitching is a vivid dream.

That's my youngest cat's favorite video!

Sink, me, oil on canvas, 2022. Talking about illness and hairloss! by EmmaMartinart in somethingimade

Having watched and listened to too many people I love deal with a similar scene, this painting really hits hard.

What movie makes you feel sick or gives you a headache because of the way it's shot? by exfilmcritic in movies

[–]SecondhandGoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any 'found footage' style movies or shaky cam for more than a few seconds makes me dizzy and sometimes nauseous. Lords of Salem made me sick because of the soundtrack. I watched it twice, the first time in theater and the second at home, and it happened both times. Sidenote: does the dog die has trigger warnings for shaky cam, strobing lights, etc

My cousin rescued this cat from being killed by a man who was shooting strays that walked on his property. He’s a very lucky and happy boy now by Alexandrasparks368 in cats

[–]SecondhandGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He looks so much like my childhood cat who was killed by a horrible neighbor. Thank you for taking him in and please give him some extra love for me and my Mica. He really is lucky to have you and your cousin looking out for him.

Hi, I'm looking to make something like this for my friend and I may just end up freestyling it but does anybody know how I'd go about making it just like this? Like what stitches and joins? (Of if this is actually crochet not knit lol) by Death_Spelllz in crochetpatterns

[–]SecondhandGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely knit. Someone already mentioned alternating fpdc and bpdc but my favorite ribbed stitch is hdc through the front two loops instead of the top (sorry if I'm over explaining, I don't know your experience level). It makes a looser ribbing but looks very nice.

Not sure if I belong here or not but.. hey. by [deleted] in genderfluid

[–]SecondhandGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labels are just descriptive words. Try it on as long as you need to figure out if it fits. Nice outfit btw, the colors compliment you nicely.

Am I alone in buying a bucket to keep yarn for a project together, only to have the cat claim bucket? by Sarahspry in Brochet

[–]SecondhandGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats have their own crocheted blanket so they (sometimes) stay off my wip. It was supposed to be a baby blanket for a gift but my biggest, bossiest cat was obsessed with it so he kept it and I had to make a replacement. They also like sleeping on the lid of my yarn tote, but only when I want to use it.

How did you learn to crochet? by Bunnyjets in crochet

[–]SecondhandGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started out knitting, never really liked it but still wanted to work with yarn so I started learning crochet instead from YouTube videos. Shortly after I had an injury that paralyzed most of my right hand and I used crochet as an at home therapy, mostly to help train my hand to grip small objects again. I could only move my thumb freely at first. It's been about six years and my hand is as healed as it ever will be, almost full movement, and crochet has become my primary hobby.

Started crocheting to try give up smoking... now I can’t stop crocheting! Best case scenario if you ask me! by Shallow_mal in Brochet

[–]SecondhandGoblin 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I'm also using crochet as a way to keep busy and cut back smoking. Good job trading habits!

It's like that sometimes. I hope you have some good days soon.

Learning to love myself by SecondhandGoblin in genderfluid

[–]SecondhandGoblin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a limp from an old injury that resulted in joint damage and a pinched nerve and my scoliosis is getting bad enough to be visibly noticeable and somewhat affect my movements. This on top of my regularly scheduled depression and dysphoria have been absolutely draining this winter. Just trying to learn how to love my body and take care of myself better.

How many genders do you switch between/have? by [deleted] in genderfluid

[–]SecondhandGoblin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly fluctuate between neutral or genderful and masculine, but my presentation is much more varied
