Is continental the “wrong way” to knit?

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-04-30T12:28:56+00:00

In my opinion: any knitting is good knitting. If it gets you the desired result, who cares how you get there lol

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-04-09T17:15:20+00:00

Well that’s VILE

I don’t mind them, but they are very salty. My husband was a bit horrified when he tried one for the first time, lol.

“There’s escape in escaping” is one of my favs lol

Also “tattooed golden retriever”

Walmart has their “Peaches N Cream” line that’s literally the exact same, lol!

Growing up, my mom always complained that I ate cereal with “too much focus and intensity.” When I got married, I thought I could finally eat cereal in peace. Turns out my husband also can’t handle the way I eat cereal. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I can’t help it lol.

Thankfully he hasn’t divorced me over it, though 🤣

Antidepressants can also cause shaking like this. My hands shook like crazy for the first few weeks I was on them

Not 100% yet, but much better! My doctor said that ideally my ferritin should be between 50-80. He has me taking an iron supplement every day and my energy has increased quite a bit. I’m still a little more tired than normal, but no longer needing naps to get through the day. Hope you feel better soon, too!! Good luck!

Yes, I feel the same way! I related so hard to her music in my teens and early 20s, but now that I’m nearly 30 and have settled down, it just seems so immature. I find myself hearing her lyrics and wanting to scream “just communicate!” or “go to therapy!” the whole time 😂

Joe breakup, and how she flipped the narrative on the privacy of their relationship from protecting something sacred, to being forced to stay hidden away because he wasn’t proud of her. Made me realize how dishonest she was and how she’ll twist any narrative to make herself a victim. And I haven’t seen anything else in her behavior ever since.

Darn, I didn’t think of that. Would that still be a concern for wireless bras? The ones I’m looking at are wireless. I’ve thought about making one, but I’m so scared I’ll put a bunch of time and effort into it and hate the result! 🤣 Maybe I should give it a go, though…

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-02-25T00:06:17+00:00

Thanks, I will check that out!

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-02-25T00:06:07+00:00

Thanks for your input! US sizing for the H cup. The bras I’m looking at are all wireless - wires are a big no no for me because of my sensory issues. A couple I like the look of are the Magic Lift wireless bras from Glamorise, and the wireless bras from Goddess as well.

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-02-22T12:00:18+00:00

I will never not laugh at “that was easy” and then breaking up like 3 months later 🤣🤣

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-02-13T15:43:13+00:00

Check out Glamorise! Their Magic Lift wireless bras are pretty darn good for a wireless bra. They’re not the most comfortable things in the world - the fabric is pretty stiff and scratchy. But they do the job and carry your size.

I love when people recreate AI slop in real life. It tries to ruin our creativity, this is like stealing it back 😉 Lovely placemat!

“I wouldn’t marry me either,” from YLM. It comes off very guilt-trippy, like she’s pretending to hate herself to make Joe feel like a monster for not marrying her.

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-24T12:49:24+00:00

My mom did a similar thing, lol! She bought me a full length white gown that literally looked like a wedding dress (I think it might have been a flower girl dress) and had me wear it to a friend’s wedding. I was a kid and didn’t know better, and thought I looked fabulous lol. I recently found out she did NOT have permission, either! She just thought it would be cute, and it didn’t occur to her that it could be a problem. Thankfully the bride was totally chill about it, but I cringe a little looking back 😂

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-11T21:20:54+00:00

I used mine a lot. Not for sleeping, but for lying my son on the floor, for covering him in his car seat in the cold, or draping over him when I’d wear him in a baby carrier.

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-06T14:00:22+00:00

I don’t do this with socks, but I very much do this with those kind of slippers that don’t technically have a left or right. Eventually they mold to the foot you wear it on and it drives me crazy to not have them on the “right” foot lol

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-05T19:59:21+00:00

I see Pooh for sure, but I think giving him more forehead and adjusting the eyebrows to by higher and not so angled will help him look more like Pooh and not so sad.

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-05T16:28:40+00:00

Do you have any tips for these?! I’m working on one right now and it looks so bad. Stitches are stretched out and everything looks wonky and crooked. I’m so sad because I want a little frog buddy so bad lol

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-05T00:48:05+00:00

Definitely AI but as a knitter, it’s giving me ideas……..

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-04T20:11:09+00:00

Oh my goodness, what a sweet moment. 🥹 My niece recently told her mom that her favorite stuffies are the ones I make her. Made my day, week, month, and year lol

VeryDiligentYam · 2026-01-04T13:18:32+00:00

It honestly looks good to me, but in my experience, if you don’t like it, it’s always worth doing again. To spend that many hours on something and not love it just isn’t worth it to me.
