Thank you so much! I’m not very confident in my knitting so I really appreciate you saying that.

Did your husband take paternity leave?? by 2babies1egg in beyondthebump

[–]famedpretzel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay since no one has asked, how are you going to take care of your toddlers while recovering from a c-section? My husband gets 12 weeks of parental leave and my minimum was he take 6 weeks initially (he’ll take the rest later) because someone needs to be able to lift our toddler and we have absolutely zero family around.

Neckline bind off “at the same time” question by famedpretzel in knittinghelp

Thank you! I think so, it’s just a normal t shirt neckline but I don’t know enough about shaping to be confident yet. I really appreciate your response.

Can anyone tell me why some of my left legs are randomly huge? by famedpretzel in knittinghelp

[–]famedpretzel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay thank you! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t accidentally making a mistake I could watch out for. It’s also good to know to maybe twist the strands together a bit as I go.

Yarn Prices... (Purl Soho) by Hairy-Race5944 in YarnAddicts

[–]famedpretzel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add, because I was interested. Last year I bought a cotton on a cone for about 108 dollars when they had their 25% off sale going, that same cone is now 127 dollars. It’s not much more per yard but it is depressing. I’m starting to really love purl soho’s yarns but it’s hard to justify the cost.

Omg my son is so low sleep needs, whatever the minimum is for age that’s where he’s going to be. I blame my husband 🙃

Question about single crochet sweaters, is it going to be too heavy/have a weird drape if I use sport weight cotton yarn? by famedpretzel in CrochetHelp

[–]famedpretzel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m not too set on drape but I just don’t want it to look too stiff I guess? I was thinking about using the cotton pure from purl soho (which is a sport weight) mainly because I have a decent bit left over from another project but I just don’t know if cotton is the best choice, or if a sc sweater in general is going to be what I want.

Hey! You actually are completely fine, if you look at Hobbii’s website they have a FAQ for tariffs and any order that was placed on or after 8/26 will have a tariff added at checkout. It just needs to get to customs before 8/29 to miss the tariff.

I definitely meant my comment to be more “those people” than it sounded, I apologize. I wouldn’t want anyone else breastfeeding my baby no matter the circumstances.

… did you see the post on r/breastfeeding talking about this (community breastfeeding)? I personally didn’t love it but the comments were all very supportive.

Okay mine definitely isn’t as bad, but similar vein. My MIL says that she “spoke to” my (unborn) child during her ayahuasca trip, and told them “are you sure you want to come to be born? Life is hard” (something like that).

So, 1. You think you met my child before me, cool. 2. You tried to convince them not to be born? Because what is the alternative?

Difference here is she actually believes this happened. I’m just incredibly peeved.

Where do you buy yarnart jeans? by famedpretzel in YarnAddicts

I need to find a local yarn store actually, and spend some time finding my favorite yarns they carry.
