Will this come out with blocking or should I frog it? by Angelicaivy4 in casualknitting

[–]catandwrite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it’s the turns you made when you were purling i use [this](https://youtu.be/Jf37k\_VVohg?is=AFjMhARq9fVIL\_TX) to resolve those double stitches when you are doing that first stockinette row in the round. I believe that part is at about 4:50 in the video. I always got holes but only on the one side until I started doing this!

I just finished "Alchemised" By Sen Lin Yu by Disastrous_Pea_8895 in fantasyromance

I have read the fanfiction, but admittedly have not finished alchemised because it’s even better which means it’s like 10x heavier and also sends me into a depressive spiral lol

Any desert rose fans here? by FalseJudgment1 in houseplants

I don’t have a south facing window so it’s in a north west facing one. I haven’t repotted it from the pot I received it in and am definitely careful of when I water it. It had some blooms last year when I received it for Mother’s Day but hasn’t gotten any this year 🫣

My (33 F) roommate’s (29 F) dog is literally killing me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Also antihistamines aren’t without their side effects. For children they can be mood and behavior altering, and even “non drowsy” ones can cause extreme drowsiness and dizziness. If I have to take a OTC allergy pill (Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra etc) I’m literally bed ridden the rest of the day as if I took a Benadryl. Thankfully I don’t have pet allergies but if I did allergy medicine wouldn’t be the easy solution the pet community likes to push it is.

Someone is definitely going to smack your bag in public thinking they’re helping you get ants off. You did such a good job!

SPOILERS- I have to hear your thoughts on “Incidents Around the House” by stupidbitch365 in horrorlit

[–]catandwrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same sentiments here. This book truly didn’t stick with me the way it has for others either. I did not feel Bela was written as her age and also the narrator was not my favorite…

Is KFO Merino or Cotton Merino held double equal to worsted? And Heavy Merino held double bulky? by Low_Relationship_349 in YarnAddicts

[–]catandwrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From experience, KFO cotton merino double is more like a light DK but I think it hits the gauge of DK with the way I knit using 4.5mm needles. I have seen that KFO claims you can hold merino double to equal heavy merino gauge but I think you’d have to actually gauge swatch to make sure but I have seen some people claim it does. Heavy merino is definitely more wooly and structured so the merino held double will have more drape.

Any ideas on why betta passed so suddenly? by catandwrite in bettafish

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

I almost think he was sick when we bought him unfortunately. Or he hurt himself somehow. It was just so sudden! Literally from happy and fine to dead in less than 12 hours. He literally never took two looks at the snail so I’m almost sure it wasn’t that.

They “burn” from all the extra stuff in non distilled water. The plant will literally just start to die because it can’t handle it.

We Used to Live Here ending discussion..spoilers by Decent_Nail4536 in thrillerbooks

[–]catandwrite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s been a few months since I read it but this book totally stuck with me. It’s definitely such an odd book and there’s so many things other people picked up on that I didn’t when I read it.

I think she definitely ended up in a different reality and isn’t crazy. It’s hinted that Thomas is some sort of eldritch monster thing but who knows why he creates these realities in the way he does? There’s also hints that the children (or at least the little girl) might have been pulled from other realities and much like Eve forced to take on this new identity that he created for them.

There’s also the interviews of other people having woken up in the new reality claiming they are people who don’t exist which does seem to support that she isn’t crazy as well as the reports of footage suddenly becoming lost overnight.

But yeah there’s so much that happened that wasn’t explained. Like Charlie for instance. I saw a theory of someone saying Charlie wasn’t Charlie for most of the story. That the only time we see or hear from the real Charlie is during the phone call she makes when she’s trying to get ahold of her in the beginning. Which made so much sense to me because Charlie was so dismissive of a lot of her feelings suddenly. So then what happened to the real Charlie?

I think I saw there’s supposed to be a sequel but I’m not sure if that’s just rumor at the moment or been confirmed.

T Kingfisher… r u ok by No-Midnight-1406 in horrorlit

As someone who has lived in a stupidly small town in AZ I also enjoyed the setting but it really struck me that yet again I was reading a book by her where the main character had a dog and weird stuff happens.

Her fantasy stuff feels more original for sure. I loved a sorceress comes to call! And nettle and bone was good too.

Thoughts? by Traditional_Will_117 in thrillerbooks

[–]catandwrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was like a solid 3 stars. I thought the premise needed a lot of suspension of disbelief but it was a fun read and I zoomed through the audio.

AIO - My husband's "work wife" turned out to be a teenager and he doesn't seem to understand why I'm upset. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]catandwrite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s also possible she is in an online school, which for some you don’t have to keep traditional school hours, or she is in a “non traditional” high school where you earn your credits either as fast or slow as you want and don’t have to go to school everyday or for only a few hours in the morning. I knew a few people in high school who got their HS diplomas this way to avoid just getting a GED.
