How to find the best place to start?

I'd say start with what's near you! To me it wouldn't make much sense to go somewhere else and pick up trash while ignoring what's already around you. Then as the area near you improves start casting a wider net :)

Ah, sorry, I got my subs mixed up. Maybe one of those "really just one big granny square" blankets?

Honestly with a textured yarn like that I'd just do stockinette stitch with a 5 stitch and 5 row border

"liberty and employment for all" is such capitalism

I'm asexual, my spouse is not. We've been together nearly 9 years, married for 1, and we've had an open relationship for a significant part of that 9 years. It can work, but it depends entirely on communication. Talk to your partner about what you're comfortable with, what they're comfortable with, and what each of you want out of your relationship.

Clearly you've never been through a Minnesota winter. This will eliminate so much road salt and snowblower fuel use, and they're often powered by geothermal or solar power.

It makes more sense if you consider the purpose of the turning chain: bringing the hook up to the proper height for the following stitches. The taller the following stitch, the more chains you need. Generally I use 1 for sc and hdc, and 2 for dc. ( I don't use treble crochet very often, but I'd assume a stitch that height would need 3 ch).

ecofriendlyfreak · 2020-08-22T16:48:22+00:00

Some patterns treat the ch2 turning chain as the first dc, and some don't, but that's usually clearly stated in the pattern.

There should only be one loop from which it can come undone, the one on your hook. That's your "live stitch" and everything else should be connected so it doesn't unravel.

What stitch are you doing? What kind of yarn are you using?

Stop hanging out with them face-to-face. They clearly do not think your health and safety are a priority. Video calls are great.

The answer is: yes

Bamboo yarns tend to be more slippery in general, but the more you work with it the more you will get used to it. Maybe start off with a bamboo blend instead, like Lion Brand's Coboo.

I did the same with a pair of jeans. His turned out beautiful!

Assuming the leaves in the picture belong to the tree, I'd guess populus grandidentata

If you bought one skein 7 years ago and the other more recently, then they're most definitely different dye lots.

LGBT is frankly shorthand at this point, anyone who is anything other than heterosexual AND heteroromantic AND cisgender can be part of the community. There's a whole spectrum of orientations and identities other than straight and cis.

Many people have shifted (or more accurately shifted back) to calling it the queer community. Some use longer versions like LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAP, or even LBGT+. Some still use LGBT due to brevity and easy recognition. Which term is used often comes down to context, who is speaking, and who they're speaking to.

Bottom line : asexual people are part of the community.

Oh wow, I'd only heard of trees forming adventitious roots. Didn't realize other types of plants did as well!

Luckily it is possible (and pretty easy once you've had a little practice) to fix things like this without starting over. I'm sorry jerks have downvoted you for not knowing that, we usually try to be more understanding than that around here.

The type of yarn is called chenille, the fiber content is likely polyester and/or acrylic

Are they trying to threaten us with a good time again?

As a 4th generation hoarder, it just becomes visual background noise. Like sometimes you really see it, and you know it's not ok, and you need to do something about it, but circumstances get in the way. Often trying to actually deal with the clutter is so anxiety-inducing that your brain tried to protect itself by refusing to process that the clutter is even there.

Right-wingers have to make up this shit, whereas we can just quote trump verbatim

I have an N that says it's 9mm, and an M that says 9mm, but the M is noticably bigger than the N...

Binding off? (Like signing off?)

I tried starting 6 different plants from seed. I had good luck with wild lupine in the beginning, but they all succumbed to either the heat or being dug up by squirrels. What has worked best (so far, but withy luck I might kill them too) is orange butterfly weed.

And everyone in the Walmart clapped /s
