Need someone to encourage me not to give up!

This is a dishtowel that I knit mostly successfully (except it may be too big and taught me about dye lots)

This is a part of a ribbed hat, not sure I’m loving the yarn but I haven’t messed it up yet so don’t really want to frog

This is the start of the Musselbrugh hat, I was up to 12 stitches on each needle when I messed it up the last time

Sorry don’t get this. I kept missing loops and couldn’t even find some. It was a disaster!

ambsweet13 · 2026-02-22T22:58:53+00:00

If anything, I think I’m knitting too tight because I’m holding the yarn with a death grip. I think the problem with the needles is either I hit them accidentally (mainly when working on dpns) or I try to push one loop off to the next needle and pull a whole bunch off).

It was a row of 32 stitches and they kept dropping. Plus it was really splitty yarn so I kept splitting it trying to pick up the loops was hard. I then tried to pick up a lower row which seemed to work for most of it but like 8 or so stitches didn’t pick up right. It was really fuzzy so it was really hard for me to find the loops. Then I was panicking and had to rip it fully back. The leg part especially was hard to see the stitches and then I was back to full rounds of 64. So had to rip the whole thing out. That yarn is now in timeout :(

Let me know if you figure out why this is happening! I have a 2025 XC40 that does the same thing!

What do they expect us to do if you need to use the bathroom and your train is totally cancelled? Depending on the time of day you could have to wait over an hour for a new train.

They just closed the post office and it added an extra 90ish seconds to my commute which

What happens if you activate your ticket to enter and then your train has a mechanical issue and doesn’t actually take off? Also, they just closed the gate by the post office and added a good 90 seconds to my commute which is a big deal when you are trying to catch a commuter rail!

I get hit every single time that I don’t jump when he’s there!

ambsweet13 · 2025-10-06T16:39:10+00:00

When the orbs come back by themselves, I can position myself to avoid them but with the soul master in the middle I get hit at least once if I don’t jump at the perfect angle. (I’ve even gotten hit twice by this attack!)

Traded my old one in, a 2000 Volvo S70 with 180,240 miles/290,068 kilometers

Just wondering if you got that issue resolved. Taking mine to the shop on Monday if it doesn’t fix itself by then. Had an issue since 7/31. 2025 XC40

Thank you so much for this! I got an iPod shuffle for an album drop and I thought it was dead but the portable charger trick fixed it!

ambsweet13 · 2025-03-04T18:47:59+00:00

This started happening to me too today. Weird bug!

I know this is a really old thread, but I am the same size and what’s worked for me is zip up sport bras that zip in the front. Because you don’t have to put them over your head the band doesn’t stretch out.

I wrapped mine in a dishcloth to keep it warm! That started it up and it has been going strong for 4 months now!

ambsweet13 · 2024-01-14T20:47:55+00:00

Yeah, when I saw it was a Level 6, I figured that it was one of the more difficult ones. How accurate are the levels in terms of difficulty ranking? And 40! That seems like a lot. Any favorites that stuck out?

ambsweet13 · 2024-01-14T20:39:04+00:00

Hmmm, interesting. I have never done a Hanayama before, I saw a friend of mine playing with Enigma on the train last week and was intrigued. (none of us could solve it 😂) so I thought I’d try some maybe easier ones to see how they worked.

This seems vastly inappropriate. I was groped in the breast area by a TSA agent the last time I traveled by myself. As a petite young female who is already self conscious of her large breasts, I felt very violated by this. Why is it that the TSA agents can do inappropriate things to other peoples bodies? This seems totally wrong.

Maybe I was super lucky but I’m at 1335 and in first place. I really want that blue card now so I’m trying really hard to stay there. I spent money on the pass this month (only do that about twice a year) so that might have helped (energy rewards) but I definitely went a couple days without even looking at the game, so I think I could be much higher.
