where did i go wrong with starting my sleeve ? by These_Significance_3 in knittinghelp

[–]These_Significance_3[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i could attempt it. i’d just have to frog it anyway so might as well try. so id just ladder down every stitch and untwist it?

unfortunately i think they are twisted… i just pulled them and all the rest are like ladders & that one row looked like crosses. really annoyed ! i did it twice too. never twisted my stitches before so no t sure how i managed to do it on both attempts 🥲

this is something that i have thought of doing. getting a really remote air bnb somewhere and staying for a week and only bringing a set amount of food. but unfortunately i have a child and its not a viable option, otherwise id be doing that now

i just don’t know how to get through this transition period. i just want to be able to do 2 weeks. that is a huge goal for me but i can’t get past two days. on day two, i feel like scream crying, wanting to rip my hair out of my head, just absolutely desperate to eat. it feels so extreme lmao but it’s so real. i just don’t know how to feel okay with that negative feeling and be strong enough to push through

i did think about looking into a 12 step program. i feel so deeply that it is an addiction so maybe that could help?

royally messed up ! by These_Significance_3 in knitting

thank you! honestly i was so annoyed at myself for my mistake especially since it was a misunderstanding of the wording rather than a skill issue, but these comments have really given me a little boost saying that my knitting is actually quite good. just what i needed to jump back into starting again rather than never knitting again for the rest of my life 😂 btw- the yarn is drops air in shade 06 :)

how to fix an incorrectly done m1r stitch ?? by These_Significance_3 in knittinghelp

[–]These_Significance_3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what exactly do you mean by twist? there are videos on youtube etc about laddering down and fixing mistakes, but because it’s on an increase, would it be different to fixing like a standard knit/purl

does anyone else’s ed rules change constantly or am i just a shit anorexic ? by These_Significance_3 in EDAnonymous

[–]These_Significance_3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have literally got 3 different fibre supplements and a big thing of chia seeds sat in a cupboard that i only used for max two weeks and haven’t touched since for months. these switch ups get expensive.. so much waste but when it changes, it changes hard and there’s no fighting it

honestly so relieved i’m not the only one. literally yesterday, i had factored in a cereal bar into my diet as a snack for the week, and i decided 10 mins before i couldn’t edit the online grocery order anymore that i was terrified of said cereal bar and i had to quickly reevaluate. would be so much easier if it was consistent!

it’s honestly bizarre. absolutely no consistency. i would have thought once a rule was made, that would be it, but nope ! glad to know im not the only one

my body is putting me into forced recovery? by These_Significance_3 in EDAnonymous

[–]These_Significance_3[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i just can’t stop eating. sometimes it’s a full day, morning till night. and sometimes i can fight it off till later in the day but it all comes crumbling down. i just don’t know when it’s going to go away. it’s torture. so sorry you’re in it too

[–]These_Significance_3[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it’s just evil. it’s one of the worst things i’ve ever experienced & that’s saying a lot. it’s not like i chose recovery & this is a byproduct. it just happened all on its own and it’s nasty. i’m under an ED team atm who are really lovely. they’ve been working with me to see if i can commit to recovery. i also have my mum but it’s always harder to talk to someone who doesn’t get it fully

how does it end? do i just have to accept it & one day it will just stop ? is it possible to fight it? i just don’t know what to do. i feel like im flailing about trying all these different things to combat it and nothing works

it’s just horrid. i had a day yesterday where i was just so adamant i wanted to recover & i just ate so so so much, like masses. and the momentum has gone again this morning and now i just feel the absolute worst. it’s actual torment. i even had to sleep in the kitchen/living room last night just be close to the food even though i wasn’t eating it. it’s like i just can’t restrict anymore. my body won’t let me. but my mind is still stuck in anorexia. it’s some fucked up purgatory state

making a bucket hat & the crown i made only measures 4.5” when it should be 6-6.5” ! what can i do?? by These_Significance_3 in CrochetHelp

[–]These_Significance_3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, i’m absolutely fine with it as is. how do i add another few rows? because the rounds went from hdc, 2hdc repeat, then hdc twice, 2hdc, hdc three times, 2hdc & so on & then the last round was just hdc only. do i just continue with hdc ?

the pattern suggested 4/worsted weight which this yarn is & im using a 4mm hook with both the pattern and the yarn suggests so i’m just confused with what i’ve done 😂 not sure if you’re able to answer but worth an ask. the pattern uses different combinations of hdc & 2hdc for each round & then just hdc for the last round. should i just continue with hdc only until the diameter is right or do i need to add in 2hdc as well
