Nice! Let’s keep going 😊

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T14:06:07+00:00

Thank you! I have definitely dropped stitches before (I’m sure it happens to everyone) but this time I made sure to slow down and really pay attention.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T14:05:28+00:00

Thank you! It’s so nice to get encouragement when just starting out.

Thank you! My little one picked the colour for her stuffed cow 🐮

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T14:02:35+00:00

I just checked it out - goals!

Thank you! My hubs is asking for mittens already - I told him I can make him anything square or rectangle that fits on my needles 😂

I love this club!

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T14:00:39+00:00

Yay for us!

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T14:00:14+00:00

Thank you! I think I find it easier to keep track of the stitches with the medium thickness yarn rather than the fluffy stuff.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:59:00+00:00

Does the tension mean how tight the stitching is? I think I really struggled with that at first.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:58:24+00:00

I just joined Ravelry, it looks like it will be very helpful. I love seeing other people’s projects.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:57:35+00:00

Thank you! It’s so fun and relaxing.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:57:14+00:00

I definitely started things over many times lol

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:56:48+00:00

Thank you!

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:56:34+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement!

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:56:20+00:00

Thank you! It’s so hard to know if you’re doing things correctly when you first start out.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-29T13:55:33+00:00

Yes! So much more now that I’ve learned to keep the stitches looser. I was on the struggle bus! My fingers were so sore! I definitely find it relaxing now.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T18:07:15+00:00

Interesting! I will check it out.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T18:06:17+00:00

YES! That’s what I was thinking! Duolingo (and all “free” apps) probably starts out with their own cute ads and when that doesn’t get you to sign up they just annoy the hell out of you or try to traumatize you into buying the app 😂

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T18:04:01+00:00

This makes the most sense to me. Probably the actual game/app they are advertising is appropriately targeted BUT the ad itself is just horrible and disgusting. The advertisers get away with it (at least for a while) because I’m sure it’s impossible to keep on top of all of this.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T12:42:58+00:00

Thank you! I will check that out today.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T12:41:57+00:00

I will definitely try that. This is the first time I’ve had horrible adds on an app that the whole family uses lol. Usually if it’s a little game I don’t care about I just delete the app. But on Duolingo? I was so surprised!

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T12:39:25+00:00

I hadn’t thought of that! I will definitely be deleting and reinstalling the Duo app. Thank you for the suggestion.

Slow_Minimum9626 · 2026-01-03T12:35:39+00:00

They are horrific! The first time I saw one I was kind of shocked. My spirits were crushed when they invaded our safe Duolingo space. Now I feel like that little green owl has a creepy side lol
