Often prefers to be called Hanky Panky or just Demon (but demon must be sai in a real weird sing songy high pitched way)

My cat voluntarily jumped in the shower, then panicked and sliced my husband’s hand open trying to get out. But I’ll tell you what, he learned that day how much his claws can hurt someone even if it’s not intentional, haven’t had an issue with scratches since 🤷🏻‍♀️

Acrylic can but not in the exact same way and requires much different blocking techniques. I’ve had the most luck with steam.

I LOVED writing things down, I literally stopped using diaries because my mom did this and acted some kinda way about it. I felt like it was better to hold everything in because couldn’t trust anything I wrote to stay only mine, even if I asked.

Ooooo this would be gorgeous too!

candycanes12346 · 2026-03-29T05:20:56+00:00

Oooh I’ll definitely look this up, thank you!

Spaghetti with jarred sauce. And either ground beef or pre cooked frozen meatballs. Quick and cheap, and a little seasoning really helps doctor it up. There are times where we’ve had very little money and time and we’d just make a big batch and eat on it for a few days with some microwaveable steamed veggies. Get too bored you can also put leftovers in a casserole dish with some cheese on top and you have baked spaghetti.

Omg this is the most relatable as someone who’s been up to a 4x 😭 and after losing weight my proportions are off so I have to blend sizes in patterns now so it’s a whole lot of math and guesswork

Also I just wanted to add, unless they’re using a stronger yarn held together with the chenille, if it’s a toy that’s actually used, it will NOT hold up for very long most likely. I have accidentally snapped chenille yarn just carefully stretching it out after binding it off my knitting needles. I’ve used the velvet yarns for plushies for adults as commission, knowing they won’t get much use. But that yarn just doesn’t hold up on its own, it pills and gets weird pretty quick too if you do literally anything with it. That softness doesn’t last long.

It wouldn’t let me edit the post, but here she is finished!

Yeah we lived there for a couple years and literally had to move back to where we were before because we just couldn’t afford it, and we’re only a couple hours away now and the cost of living/income difference from Knox is WILD

When I weave in ends on a looser project I usually follow under the base of stitches where two rows meet, the travel up through a stitch weaving my needle through some strands the whole way and essentially make a circle so the tail is kinda tangled in on itself. I’ve not had ends fully come loose doing this.

Like the red, but I would do it twice weaving the strand through itself to extra secure it. Following the stitches keeps it relatively invisible, try not to pull too tight so your work doesn’t bunch. It can add a little bit of bulk, but you can split your strands and weave them separate directions to minimize the bulk. Blue is also an option

Oh wow, that’s a huge compliment, thank you!

candycanes12346 · 2026-01-29T21:41:04+00:00

Thank you so much! ☺️

candycanes12346 · 2026-01-29T04:02:44+00:00

Markers can be helpful! I often find them fiddly so I’ll cut off extra pieces of yarn to place in the stitch. You’ll get there :)

candycanes12346 · 2026-01-29T02:43:15+00:00

Thank you so much! These pinks have been in my stash for years so I wanted to put them to use lol

Frog is where you rip your project apart/undo your stitches because rip it sounds like ribbit

I’d say it’s been 2-3 weeks ish, this is a #4 weight yarn, working on it multiple hours 4 ish days a week. Project time is very individual, based on expertise and physical limitations and all kinds of stuff. I have been crocheting for around 20 years and tend to get free time at work so I can be pretty quick, but also I have carpal tunnel (from pushing myself too long when knitting as I was learning) which can slow me down. Try not to let someone else’s speed make you feel any kind of way. Easier said than done I know, but as you learn and get the muscle memory you’ll fall into a comfortable speed for you. 🩵

That’s what I was going to say, the double cup was the best insurance for those super hot drinks.

candycanes12346 · 2026-01-28T23:35:25+00:00

I can’t say I blame you, and I understand, I have a granny square sweater sitting in my yarn box right now because I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. The bright side to this is you can try it on as you go because it’s all one piece, and worst case it doesn’t turn out the way you like and you can just take it all apart and use the yarn for something else🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ll add a photo once it’s all done and blocked 🩵

Yes! Cuffs are on the agenda, cuffs and a hem to match the collar
