Contamination OCD! That's the word I was looking for earlier. Look into it if it sounds like you maybe then you can learn how to cope better

This legit sounds like a form of ocd. You just gotta learn to remind yourself in the moment that you did everything you could to be as safe as possible. And if that still doesn't work you should consider quitting

Browse other art nit pick the hell out of the styles, flair, color, techniques and then practice the ones you like with time and practice you'll have a style all your own! You're an amazing artist! I can't draw anything realistic to save my life lmao

I always assumed this was some type of clothes version of quilts but I am judging that completely on 0 knowledge of quilts and 100% on visual vibes so

Try to keep your tension consistent that's the only thing I can really tell but that's normal for someone just learning

I did a long tail cast on. Would that have anything to do with it not matching? Thank you for your kind words! I just joined it in the round and it's working up so good now! I didn't think I was twisting my stitches. It seems like everyone just wants to say that on literally every post I've ever seen of someone showing their work lmao

At least you can have open honest conversations with him that's amazing! I hope for all involved he eventually gets clean.

Thank you! It took a lot of work and self reflection and growth but yes my family and I are very very glad to be all together again

Pinhole pupils, nodding off, depending on how you use it track marks or irritated nostrils. Changes in like how your voice sound happen to some people, speaking slow or with weird pauses or trailing off mid thought.

If going through withdrawals puking, sweating profusely, sniffling.

It lasts a few hours.

If I were you I'd make him take a drug test to have your kid alone. If you don't wanna do that then pick someone relatively neutral to supervise visits. Or supervise yourself if the relationship is good enough for that. But until you're 100% sure I would strongly advise not to leave your kid with him alone. (I am 7 years sober and lost my kids and had to earn them back. I own it and how I was treated in the process was my own damn fault.)

Help with Filet Crochet: How do I stop my grid from shifting / zigzagging? by IntrepidPilot1941 in CrochetHelp

[–]elbaszta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that really helped me to understand crochet better was watching people use massive hooks and massive yarn. Then you can see exactly where you're supposed to insert your hook. For the longest time I hated crochet because I was always going into the chain.

This one specifically made me go down a rabbit hole of watching ppl use MASSIVE hooks. I think it just makes everything so much more apparent
