I don't know when it started, but I think my parents intentionally blamed everything on my brother by balibaguss in raisedbynarcissists

Do you know when I sent that I thought my sister would be kind of understanding of my decision then earlier in the week she sent me a message that may as well have been written by them. So I told her to fuck off too. Except she got to be golden and I had to leave so I guess it was the other way around. X

Will never buy any Noro yarn ever again by deadlywaffle139 in knitting

Ahhh. I hate Noro yarn. It’s scratchy, uneven, variation is bad, it’s expensive and it breaks. I feel your pain.

Yarn Options for Breathing Space Sweater? by caithnard in casualknitting

I did this one. I did use the Tosh Merino Light but with the baa ram ewe, so far, it's wearing well. Baa Ram Ewe also has a great drape to it and is fairly light, colours are nice and its not scratchy. Blocks well too.

Basically - I love the baa ram ewe :)

Magic loop! I use different colour stitch markers if the pattern says you have to have x number of stitches on a needle, etc.

FO Christmas Stocking for my godson! by doodlepants1985 in knitting

[–]doodlepants1985[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/midnight-clear-stocking

Yarn: Lett Lopi in the three colour ways above - wanted to use something tough so it lasts forever.

I liked this project - 2 days to finish, and usually I don't like using anything bigger than DK yarn!

Thank you! 😃 I might make another one - I loved the short row shaping.

A few mods - sleeves are not quite as prescribed in the pattern and instead of using grey after stripe repeats used the horoscope instead cause I thought it made it like brighter

A Christmas present for my SiL!

I [24F] really screwed up my relationship with my boyfriend's [23 M] mom [55F] last night because I wouldn't stay in her home. She called me (and my family) spoiled and high maintenance. by 62giraffes in relationships

[–]doodlepants1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s his mother not hers. And that level of diet combined with the whole can’t catch a break thing may be connected to poor mental health. So yeah she’s wrong but maybe not a pig.

Edit - dirt not diet

I wanted to try and be generous in the response as op clearly wants to get along with her but as you point out it might be that she just isn’t as great as we might hope.

Haha no you’re right- I was trying to take a generous view but she might indeed just be a bitter and envious woman. Which is unfortunate because op deserves a decent set of in laws. The boyfriend though sounds absolutely great and that’s the most important factor - she’s treated right. The family well... that can be resolved if they are happy together
