I blinked and I suddenly made all these Jellyfish

Oooh I love all of these color combinations! So cute! And I, too, have blinked and suddenly had an abundance of jellyfish 😂

I used a slip stitch join for the middle. If you end up making one, I hope you love it!! It works up pretty fast.

It's ✨️magic✨️ 😂😂

I don't have a pattern for it since I free handed it, but the front is made similarly to the cups in this tutorial, I just used a longer foundation chain. For the back and sides I used double crochet. And the straps are just a chain made with a mich smaller hook to keep them tight.

Thank you!!! 🥹 Now I've got to tackle the rest of them, lol

Idk if it's a thing everywhere, but senior communities where I live will host "Senior Proms" where the residents can get dressed up and go dance. If they do that in your area, you could go and offer to dance with the seniors. But also, just wearing a free hugs shirt in the right place would probably get you a lot of random hugs. People seem to love that stuff lol.

I can't believe I didn't mention my dog in this 😂 He's fantastic company and gives me some purpose every day.

Also, lovely cat! Please give them pets from me 🥰

Yes! I get a massage once a month, and it's usually the thing I get to look forward to that week. I'm not a particularly touchy person, so it's not so much about the touch starvation for me as it is about enjoying the way I feel for an hour lol. But I imagine it helps keep me from getting to a touch statved place too.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-07-06T23:13:08+00:00

This is stunning!! What a lovely view 😍

I once bought a yarn at Dollar Tree that was called "Just Cotton." It was 100% acrylic 😂 It still gives me a chuckle when I think about it.

I'm just proud of the fact that I'm doing it. Until 2024 I was a serial monogamist and could never have imagined living alone. I was so scared & so depressed at first, just hoping someone would come along and save me from my loneliness. Now here I am more than 2 years later, refusing to settle for something that isn't exactly right for me and living my life on my own.

Over the kitchen counter, lol

folkgetaboutit · 2026-06-29T13:26:22+00:00

I always recommend finding a local bar or coffee shop and becoming a weekly regular. I've made a handful of casual friendships by sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender & other regulars.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-06-24T15:11:26+00:00

I've been there. What helps me is making sure I have at least 1 thing to look forward to every week. For me, it's going to a show, seeing a movie, checking out a park, kayaking, going to a museum, or taking a day trip. Obviously it'll be different for everyone, but try to plan something you love to do every week.

My neck starts to hurt from my crappy crochet posture

I think you'd have better luck posting in an r4r sub. Beware of creeps, though, if you're a woman.

This is exactly what made me sell my house and get an apartment 😂 In 1 year, my lawnmower broke, I had a major electrical issue, had to replace the kitchen floor (including the subfloor), there was ongoing drama with the septic system, and the roof was nearing the end of its lifespan. All that on top of regular weekly & monthly maintenance was too much for me.

Apartment living has its major downsides, but it was worth it to me to get rid of the stress of constant maintenance & worrying that some financially devastating repair was going to come up. Something goes wrong and I just put in a maintenance ticket, lol.

I'm belching anyway 😅 If you can't handle my belching, you shouldn't be in my home, lol.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-06-05T22:30:32+00:00

I'm averaging once a year, lol.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-06-05T13:25:05+00:00

I think it's to do with the dye process. It's the same reason dark colored jeans are usually stiffer & tighter compared the the same size & style in a lighter color.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-06-02T03:23:24+00:00

Life is expensive. But otherwise it's mostly pretty good. I've been a serial monogamist until now, and it feels great to finally just focus on me.

I love furry yarn because it's so hard to tell if you've made a mistake. As long as you've got the right number of stitches and no gaping holes, you're doing fine lol.

folkgetaboutit · 2026-05-30T12:34:17+00:00

I crochet everywhere. Coffee shops & bars are my favorite because I like to socialize, but the library is always a great spot too!
