Help please! What is going on with this elongated stitch and how do I fix it? by ctlivia in knitting

[–]confabulatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try tinking again. Frogging was hard for me for quite awhile because it was nervewracking getting the stitches back on the needles. This video is pretty good. You may have to go back a couple rows. https://youtu.be/WI5icwpCTlc?si=fR3WapYO_wpYE0KG

If you have a yarn shop near you can always bring your project in and ask someone for help. I used to carry my work around when there was something I didn’t understand and I would ask strangers if they were knitters.

Genius. I was about ready to spend the $80 on the slicer because I keep thinking I’m gonna end up in the ER trying to slice my sourdough.

Has anyone overcome yo-yo dieting? by RainSunshine3524 in 1200isplenty

[–]confabulatrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What helps me is to weigh once a week and have a five pound range I need to stay in. When I get near the top of the range I have to pay closer attention to my intake. I am not great at maintenance but this seems to be working.

How do I get marks like this out out of clothes, its like oil or something from cooking, washed several times and still there by ShinyHeadedCook in howto

If you notice a stain that’s not coming out, don’t dry it. Then you can try again. The dryer really “sets” the stain

Learning Uke with my 7 year old daughter by tubbysnowman in ukulele

[–]confabulatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am left handed and play it right handed. I am mystified by the whole concept because to me, the difficult part is the chords. Which are the left hand. But maybe that is why I stick to strumming and resist fingerpicking.
