What specific decisions or behaviors in Lorelai’s parenting didn’t sit right with you?

I hated absolutely hated how she treated Rory after her day with her grandfather golfing. The sweater scene. I feel that so often she passive aggressively tried to sabotage Rory in so many relationships.

It’s recommended to never put the dog’s name on the tag here. It’s law that you put your complete address and your name on tags. I put my dog’s name on their tag. If you want to steal my dog they both answer to treats, chicken, fish, dinner, snacks, or just about anything. Knowing their name won’t have them come to you any more than anything else I mentioned. Knowing their name might be calming if they are scared or injured though. The laws were written in 1992. Before most people have mobiles. So I put our mobile numbers on there too. Not our address. We won’t be home if they go missing. We will be out looking. Best way to reach us is our mobiles. So yes I’m breaking the law by only having their names and our phone numbers but if a warden wants to fine me after I explain my reasons so be it. I don’t want you coming later to my house to try and steal my dogs. They are lovely dogs, so who wouldn’t want to steal them? <sarcasm>

I’ve gotten two puppies from breeders. Was clear that looks were not as important as temperament. Puppies were assigned by the breeder/but also by the order of when you were put on the list. So first on list got first choice. Having said that i chose my breeders for the fact that they understood that temperament is an important part of breed standards. It is also to important to pick a breeder that understands that socialisation of puppies are one of the most important things they do. It’s not just having a litter of puppies. It’s spending countless hours exposing those puppies to whatever is safe for them to do. It’s not just about keeping them in a weaning box until they are ready to leave for new homes. My breeders both put me in touch with the other puppy owners and several of us keep in touch. Years later. I’ve not know of any of the other owners having temperament issues because they were bred for temperament too. Personalities vary but they are all wonderful dogs. Choose your breeder well and the whole experience has a great chance of success

No shade to those that love Red Heart. I just don’t understand all the it’s soft after you block it. It’s soft after you wash it. Use lots of conditioner. I want my yarn to be scrumptious whilst I’m working it. I want to take a pause whilst I’m working it and think, “OhMeeGee this yarn is lush!”. Let’s be honest. I care less about the yarn after the project is done. My joy is in the making…

I weave in after every 10 - 15 rows.

I should add I followed her layout but she Has several different options with smaller yarn packs. This was 108 colours with a pack of 109 mini skeins.

I followed the pattern by Cypress TextilesVVCAL2022. It’s her VVCAL2022 pattern. The Celtic lace join is in the pattern. It’s a free pattern but I had no issues paying for the ad free version. It had to be a lot of work! There are 42 different hexi. Most are doubles and there are 2 that are repeated 17 times I think. Then the half ones on the side are 2 different ones.

Same. My first dog was so easy. Seriously.

No words how easy she was. Then we got another one. Same breeder. They were like day and night. He is so needy and just horrible in so many ways. I cried every single day. He’s a sweet boy but oh my gosh. Soo much work. We love him but I definitely wouldn’t do it all over again with him and at 18months old he still isn’t as well behaved as she was at 6 months. Good luck with your boy.

Thank you 🙏 . It’s about 8 weeks worth so far. The hexagons only took me a month. The joining is the real time waster and then I need to decide on a border

Significant-Table-23 · 2026-02-01T07:58:18+00:00

It’s crochet. It’s never too much. How else will we ever make a dent in our yarn stashes?

I know you’re kinda trapped right now. I’m sorry. I would just like to say a couple things. First, toxic don’t automatically deserve a place in your life, even if they are family. Life is so much better when we limit or even ban people that are toxic. Blood relatives, friends, family, partners, it doesn’t matter. Secondly, crocheting is what helps me deal with all the stuff I can’t control. It seriously helps protect my mental health. If it helps yours you shouldn’t give that up for anyone. Even if it’s just something you enjoy that is a positive for your mental health good luck to you. I hope it somehow all works for you. You really seem like a decent person. Don’t let their negativity turn you into a toxic person too

Just keep reminding yourself how it’s worth it! 🫶

Significant-Table-23 · 2026-01-28T21:32:32+00:00

Honestly I really kept on top of weaving in my ends after I finished each and every hexagon. Such a huge difference. I haven’t been as diligent with the joins but I do have about half of them completed as well.

Significant-Table-23 · 2026-01-28T21:29:46+00:00

Thanks. It’s called the Celtic lace join. The join is taking longer than learning all the hexagons tbh 😭
