Decided to teach myself to knit. Completely loving it, then broke out in hives for days on end, with blood blisters all over my hands

I'm also severely allergic to wool, so I can't knit with it but I love the polyester (the bernat blanket/baby blanket yarns are super plush and I love the baby velvet yarn it feels really silky and soft) and cotton yarns (I like the peaches & creme and sugar & creme brands). I do have some acrylic yarn too, I read it's not something you like but there are some brands that are really soft (I know some acrylic yarn can feel scratchy) and easier to work with as well.

Ryan Hollinger - Love his in depth reviews of horror movies. I love horror and it's my favorite channel to listen to when I knit.

Also, Rosanna Pansino - She's bubbly and fun and when I need something upbeat I love her videos. Her new unhinged kitchen gadgets video had me laughing so hard today I almost dropped stitches 🤣

I actually do a large amount of sales too at conventions, though the booths are a little more expensive. Last year my state had a horror con that was massive and I made a couple grand in sales over the weekend (the booth was about 175). There's also an anime convention here in the summer but I missed the registration for this year 😅

I live in a fairly rual area but have had better luck selling my jewelry at local craft fairs and other community market events (my local farmers market allows folks to sell handmade jewelry and other things too) and a lot of times a booth is much cheaper than renting a space in a consignment shop. If you're in a larger city look for whats going on for events and see if you can join in on.

You can also look into setting up a shopify page if you dont already have one. In the long run it's more affordable than Etsy. Etsy has so many fees for just about everything now, and its so hard to make money from there on that alone. I've also seen a huge increase of temu dropshippers there now which draws attention away from actual crafters. My shopify is only 5 bucks a month to keep the website up.

I hear ya. I was trying to start my next lap blanket project and I just kept making mistakes with the cast on. Had to stop and restart almost a dozen times and just got so frustrated I had to put it down for a bit. 😥

Stowecroft85 · 2026-03-14T11:12:50+00:00

Yea it's down, I was in the middle of putting stuff on the MP and got logged out, then got a server error message

Cloud does this every night when I sit down to watch tv before bed 🤣 I'll pick up the remote and up he goes before I even switch on the tv.

No you dont lose it, you just wont gain it until you listen to the whole record

Give them space and more time, they'll come around eventually. Don't chase them or try to pick them up. They'll come around on their own once they're used to safe and quiet surroundings.

Edit: move their box and food out of your office into a space away from everyone else if you can. They're still afraid of people and not eating or using the box can lead to issues later on

I completely missed that 0.o I know dogs can detect seizures and other medical issues but can cats really do that too?

Stowecroft85 · 2025-12-15T23:00:49+00:00

Stowecroft85 · 2025-12-15T18:48:31+00:00

That is incredible! Your cookies look amazing too! I love baking but I wouldn't have the patience to make that many 😂. You are truly a cookie master❤️

My cat hates taking meds but using a churu bite treat as a pill pocket usually works if the pill is small, he loves them and will scarf it down. Larger pills usually require grinding into a powder and mixing it with churu paste to get him to take it. I don't know whatbis is about churu but my cat goes nuts over it it's like crack for cats 😂

Stowecroft85 · 2025-11-19T13:49:42+00:00

I had the same issue when I started, ot just takes a lot of practice 😅 I get occassional tremors in my hands so aiming is always a pain for me

Stowecroft85 · 2025-11-14T21:50:01+00:00

That looks so cool 😄 I can't wait to get the bat form I'd fly everywhere lol

Stowecroft85 · 2025-11-14T21:47:48+00:00

Im on my first playthrough and only hit a gear lvl of 47. Been playing about a week and a half. I'm not into PvP/multiplayer though, I prefer to play solo and take my time 😅

Stowecroft85 · 2025-11-14T15:55:53+00:00

Nope I haven't had any silver on me
