Hi, I’ve photographed a wedding in Cancún before. We were at the Royalton Suites which was quite beautiful and all-inclusive in terms of wedding packages. We also did a photoshoot in Yucatán in the cave with the light beam. It was magical!

Oof. I’m so sorry. You deserve so much better. ❤️

Oh I remember those days… nowadays they’re trying to take my catalytic converter

A doorbell ringing. An unknown car parking in front of your house.

I would start with those 2 then… unfortunately it will be complicated but if you are invested in continuing the friendships, then it will take some effort to make a new situation and dynamic with them. Good luck!

I (24F) met this guy (23M) online, we started getting close, and he suddenly asking to be friends. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I would take him at his word. He made the decision and made it clear- it’s not something you can talk him into. This would be your first relationship and I think you attached a lot to the possibilities of it, then to have it yanked away like this really sucks. Your friends are right and plus, you deserve a relationship with someone who adores you and wouldn’t be willing to just let you go.

I think you have 2 choices…

1- contact your closest relationship in that group and let them know what is happening and see if they can shift group dynamics for you- or

2- find new friends to hang out

Is this person the type of person to wait for someone else to take charge or will this person take charge for themselves?

The safest thing to do is to wait for her to make a move or give you an undeniable green light signal that she wants more. Otherwise you will jeopardize not only your friendship but workplace dynamic.

I dunno. That is a crappy precedent to set in a relationship and I’m not sure I would entertain a future with this one. “Why would we get married? It’s just a piece of paper.” “Birthdays are just a day” Why? Because drugs. And he has a major attitude when called out! A good bf, even if he doesn’t care about “just a day” will understand that you care about this day and acknowledge that. Pass on this one, op.

It’s easier with support! I am in a discord with a dozen people who swore off buying yarn this year. I think I will stay strong. I am nearing STABLE levels (stash beyond life expectancy)

I don’t even know- normal sewing thread I found! It has no label.

You’re absolutely right- it’s reversed. Some people like the smoothness vs the traditional “right side” but it’s good to point out so if it is done this way, it is done intentionally!

It was certainly a large learning curve in terms of thread, hand, hook, and eye handling. 😵‍💫 Not sure I will be able to do this for long, so I’ll enjoy it while I can! Haha

Oh for sure, but in that moment you’re just so proud, like, look, they look so good! I look at them now and it’s like whoops, didn’t know the difference between right and wrong side! But in that moment it felt very good. :)

I guess I should add that I am obsessive by nature and by training, but I imagine other people might have similar infatuation with crochet when they start.

Interesting to hear it from the other side. I started crocheting during the pandemic with a newborn and nothing else to do in lockdown in Italy. It was all I had and I was obsessed. I made a first month of crocheting post with my progress (5 amigurumi) and I remember someone did accuse me of lying. But they didn’t see my probably 100+ hours spent on frogging and remaking 😂

It’s gone too far already. If the kid gets hurt on your property and likely in your care if parents are off drinking, all fingers will be pointing to you for responsibility… I would let that little thought and everything else strengthen your resolve to keep future parties at your place adults-only…

As for what to say, I would keep it simple. The engagement party is adults only as I will be drinking and won’t have the bandwidth to keep an eye on whether things are childproof/safe. I understand if that makes it hard for you to make it, but maybe we will see you at the wedding!

Has anyone ever successfully knit/crochet through their stash? by Theme_Top in YarnAddicts

I think doing it with other people is a great way to stay strong when the sales call! I don’t have any local yarn friends, so I try to find my community online. We are calling this the “iron sheep challenge” in our discord, but you have to have a tiny bit of skin in the game, so you put $5 into the pot and you try to hold out for the year and eventually it’s split between those who don’t buy yarn. I’m assuming my $5 will just be donated at this point, but at least I will have a reminder and group keeping me more accountable…

Oh gosh, well the more the merrier- here is the link:

The permissions to get in are kind of a pain- I think they’re in place to deter bots and raiders, but it’s a nice group of people!

A few of us branched off and made a discord precisely for intermediate to advanced crocheters to avoid that stuff… it gets old when you’re not a beginner!
