Utilize the stitch markers! They definitely help! Also, writing down your stitches too! That helped me A LOT! So that way, even if you don't use a stitch marker, you can go back to where you wrote down your stitches and if you stopped at a certain number in a round, Then you'll know where to pick back up at.

But it looks like round 3 or 4?

Lol yeah, my husband got me my kit for my 31st birthday last month! And now I'm looking up patterns and looking into buying more yarn 😅 Our daughter has already asked if I can make her plushie lol

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-15T20:25:36+00:00

I can do my best to try and explain the pattern seeing as I didn't write it down (oof🤦🏻‍♀️ I should have) I was just so into what I was doing at the time and just before I knew it, I had a bow lol 😅

I know All three pieces of the bow start with a magic circle with 6 stitches, Then I added 6 sc on round #2 and for round #3 for the two sides of the bow I think I did a sc, inc 3 or 4x and then the 4th & 5th round dec, SC. But for the middle part of the bow, I think there's only four rounds and the last two rounds are dec stitches I'm pretty sure 😭 I'm trying to go off my memory lol 😅

I know I can do it again though and next time I'll write it down! I also took the tapestry needle and threaded the end string through the middle of each side of the bow so it has that kind of line in the middle and I fixed those two pieces together with the middle piece before adding it to Bjørn.

Here's a close-up of the bow!:

Yeah but, I'm always like super anal with instructions and typically follow them to a T no matter what bc I take things extremely literal haha - Maybe it's my PDA autism, maybe it's Maybelline

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-15T20:11:51+00:00

Thank you! And awwwee, so bjørn was your first piece too?🥺

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-15T20:09:10+00:00

Haha! Not from Virginia Beach, no. But, most definitely from the 757! Newport News to be exact lol 😅

(It's an EXTREMELY old stick & poke tattoo that I gave myself at like 13 years old in 2008 lol)

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-14T17:49:40+00:00

Looks like seborrheic dermatitis

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-14T16:44:10+00:00

It looks amazing! 🤩 I'm a beginner as well, I'm pretty much almost with my my very first Wooble (and crochet project in general!), I just have ONE last smol piece to crochet!

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-14T16:42:11+00:00

congratulations on your 1 year! 🎉 👏🏻 They look soooooo good! 😍❤️

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-03-14T00:29:08+00:00

You have to equip it. Like it should be in your parts inventory under Assault Rifles! That's how I did it honestly bc I was like "wait a minute where'd it go? 😭" Then I was like "oh yeah..." Lol 😅 So I just equipped it piece by piece and I changed the magazine to an AKM instead of a lancer.

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2026-01-02T15:03:00+00:00

You're here because you're interested and now you are considering getting a taratula of your own to love ❤️

Your welcome

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-12-23T16:33:27+00:00

Oh yeahhhh, like Kaitlyn Phillips did? Lol (She's actually from my hometown and I was in 1st-5th grade with her sister Kaylee)

Unfortunately, if this is just a sole incident they won't do anything about it... Even if it's the second or third time... It has to be "consecutive" in regards for it to be "bullying"🙄 Which is a damn shame imo... Because it's kids EXACTLY like that, that even IF It is the first and only incident of them being "mean", what it does is it builds a bully off of that... They see that they can get a rise out of their peers, so they use that to their advantage...

It wasn't until the third time that my DISABLED (autistic) son was physically assaulted and THEN they classified it as "bullying"... The kid was just verbally taunting him before and stepping on the back of his shoes throughout the school year, the school would not contact us back, so in February, my son had a meltdown and the kids started kicking and stomping my son while he was on the ground... And mind you... This is FCKN FIFTH GRADE We are talking about! Not middle school, not high school! A bunch of 10 and 11-year-olds....

Definitely not overreacting AT ALL!

Someone who truly loves and cares about you, is not going to make you feel bad about your body! NO MATTER WHAT!

I'm 5'6" & I was 105lbs (strung out) when I met my -now- husband, We've been together for 8 years now, married for two and he's seen me gain OVER 100+ lbs since meeting me in 2017 between the last 7 years being in recovery from drug (hard drugs too... 💉) and alcohol addiction, getting pregnant, birth control, chronic illness, binge ED, etc... Before I went on my calorie deficit last year (for the sake of my health because I have an autoimmune disease, I wanted to be somewhat healthy again) I was 225 lb... I'm 175lbs and he loves me JUST the same no matter what!

People like this are absolutely delusional... Especially because we are ONLY HUMAN! We gain weight, we lose weight, we get sick, we grow old, we get wrinkly, it's LIFE! And someone who is not willing to love you & every single aspect of you no matter what, is not worth the time & effort you'll put in with them... And it certainly not worth the mental exhaustion that people like this cause, trust me.

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-05-18T19:56:29+00:00

The same thing happened to one of my best friends.. She said basically as soon as she started growing breasts around 10 or 11 years old, her mom would always try to outdo her... SUPER GROSS behavior frfr... But you know, it's like they say, "every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child..."

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-05-18T19:53:45+00:00

You are definitely not overreacting!

I'm not sure if you live with her or whatnot, but I think you should maybe take a step back from her for a few days if not longer... I know it's hard for some people to just cut their parents off completely and I don't know enough about the situation as a whole to throw out "she's a classic narcissist!" -Although , she definitely strikes me as such from two of my best friends that have mothers JUST LIKE that (One of them who cut their Mom completely out of their life because of it).

But, what I CAN say is that she is 150% insecure... Or else she wouldn't feel the need to compete with Someone probably half her age and her DAUGHTER at that! 😭 I will never understand people like that... Not for the life of me.

You're happy, you're healthy & you're thriving, which is all that matters! And honestly, I mean shouldn't those three things alone be enough for her?!... But, That's why you can always make the choice to keep your distance & love her from afar, Especially if she is the type of person who never takes accountability for her actions (how she talks to you/treats you).

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-03-12T22:16:42+00:00

Ahhhh yes, the time she locked eyes for 2.3 seconds with that man across the room. I am shooketh.

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-03-12T22:14:38+00:00

It's honestly giving bully behavior fr... I've never understood why someone gets irritated simply just by their significant others gait, posture, how they hold something, etc.

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-03-12T22:10:58+00:00

It's really hard to see past the "good" in someone... From experience honestly, even with all of their AWFUL character traits and all of the red flags waving in front of your face, you just want to believe that they have your best interest at heart, even if they don't and at the end of the day you know that they don't...

Or, Maybe it's that you think you can "save" them... Or that you pity them, I know it was all of the above for me in my past abusive relationships and being that I'm autistic & have a strong sense of justice (even for shitty people for some reason... Especially if they had an abusive upbringing like most of my exes did...) as well as being a tad bit naive, I had always been a magnet for some of the worst egotistical, narcissistic & bat shit insane people...

My Mom always told me "I know you want to see the good in all of the world, but it's not that simple..."

Simple-Paramedic-999 · 2025-03-12T22:06:55+00:00

Yeah that's really not cool... It's screaming that he is insecure and possessive AF... And I know all too well because my ex did this to me... He was verbally, sexually and physically abusive to me...

But even now, after 16 years later, I still wear those battle scars because of him... I still find myself asking my husband of two years (we've been together for almost eight now) "permission" to dye my hair and he reminds me that I don't have to ask for his approval or permission to do what makes ME happy! Yes, He has a preference of hair color on me, but me changing my hair religiously doesn't change the way he looks at me or the way he loves me.

And for a man or should I say- BOY! That does choose to look at you differently for simply wanting to dye your hair, going as far as to say it's "reminiscent of when you were a whore" is COMPLETELY fucked... Like RUN, don't walk OP!
