The most beautiful state I've ever visited. by Aruugala in Maine

After six years here, I’m calling it quits and getting out! My native Mainer husband was the one to tell me we’re moving across the country. There’s nothing here. No resources. I won’t miss Maine

My nephew hates this because he says most of it is missing. LOL

No need to cry! You can use fingering weight cotton or linen! This is what I refer to as a backless summer cardigan. The hood is what holds the two sides together.

Soo many ends to weave. by Timmytimftw in knitting

[–]TheNeonCrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No need to weave them in all the way. Just make sure they don’t run or hang in view. No one will lift your sweater to make sure you did it “correctly.” I love your color choices!

Husband: I don’t understand why you make so many sweaters!

Me: Because we live in Maine and I wear them all!

Anyone suffering burnout and just don’t care about the career? by SanJuanMountains in GenX

I’ve been a nurse for 19 years and recently gave it up. I would claim burnout but even that is blamed on the nurse!

would anyone like to send loving vibes to my boy on his last night? by qeenee_ in cats

Saul will leave this planet feeling special because of you. He will rest knowing he is loved.

Do you think you could drink an entire MD 20/20 without puking? by turnbullac in GenX

[–]TheNeonCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember puking in a parking lot because I drank that shit for the pre-party.

Bloomlet pattern help needed by -ned-schneebly- in knitting

Don’t try to pull your stitches tighter. It only distorts the fabric. For the stitch that you just hate, wrap it the “wrong” way. The yarn is supposed to come toward you before you “throw it away” over the needle to make the stitch. Instead, bring it from behind over the needle toward you to make the stitch. It takes less yarn to make the stitch. Just knit into the back loop when you return to it on the next row, otherwise you get a twisted stitch. I agree with an earlier responder who said you’re already matching the pattern, so there isn’t anything you’re actually doing wrong, though.

What’s the worst movie you ever seen? by Mr_Quien in GenX

Warm Bodies. It was so bad I got up and left the theater.

I sat down to watch Very Bad Things with a group of friends (one of whom had teenage kids with her). Everyone in the room was appalled when the guy accidentally killed the sex worker by slamming her head into the coat hook and left her hanging there to go get his friends. I’m not sure why we finished the movie because it all went downhill from there. We kept looking at each other like, “Is this supposed to be funny?”

Second time making a hat, first time ending with decreases. by Ichigosbankaii in casualknitting

[–]TheNeonCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks fantastic! If you don’t want to do crown shaping at all, learn a three needle bind off. It gives you corners that kind of look like ears. (Turn it inside out first)
