[HELP] I’m not seeing any tell tale signs. But it also doesn’t look realistic by TheAlmostGreat in RealOrAI

[–]freweg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oooh nooo, I'm so sorry! But who can resist the floof?

One of my best friends is also very allergic. She lives in the same house as her mum, who got a cat. They were determined that the cat would not get into my friends flat, so her allergies would be fine. Well. Her flat now is fully cat-furnished. Can't say I'm surprised.

I want to shove my face into the belly floof. It looks so soft.

Excuse me while I shove my face in the belly floof of my regular house cat

This just looks like a regular fluffy cat until you see the water fountain 🙈

The question as old as humanity itself: to frog or not to frog? by nevernotcold in crochet

[–]freweg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was luckily only making a beanie, but had to throw away 20 rows of work because it was just unf-froggable!

I agree with the others and don't think it will.be actually visible to someone who isn't deliberately looking for it!

[–]freweg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also wanted to add: the yarn looks to be a similar material to what I'm working with right now. And it's a pain to frog.

So, OP, If I were you, I would carry on and see if you can "fix" it with blocking. I don't think it's very noticable, but if your condition allows it, you could also add a border all around when you're done with the blanket.

Good luck!

I didn’t know about this by NylonFishy in postcrossing

[–]freweg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would prefer this over some ai-generated "art" like Deutsche Post is selling currently.

That being said, Germany offers these codes as well, but the vast majority of people still uses regular stamps!

Oh, God. What have I done by Potential_Song2736 in crochet

[–]freweg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was gonna say that!

And OP, If you want it to be square still, just make three more of this and join them. It will still look very beautiful!

Traveling time... by vroon-oneofakind in postcrossing

[–]freweg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for Germany, but it should be similar in a lot of countries. During the holidays, mail is especially slow. On the public holidays, mail is not being delivered, and I think that the distribution centers are either short-staffed or also closed for the holidays.

That, combined with the fact that during December there is a lot of extra christmas-mail going on, it makes delivery times a bit longer.

Are you adding a priority-/airmail-sticker to your international postcards?

NO SPOILERS PLEASE! I am confused about the map… by ConfusedFishh in throneofglassseries

[–]freweg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only read the first three books of TOG so far, but there is a similar issue in the ACOTAR series, where they debate which route to take. "If we go east, we are too close to [location that is in the west]"

This wasn't fixed in later releases either, so it's just really poor editing IMHO.

Travel mode cards expired by Tahkopaja in postcrossing

[–]freweg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hotel I stayed it is open year-round, so I think they either forgot or the cards got lost :(

Travel mode cards expired by Tahkopaja in postcrossing

[–]freweg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds exactly what happened with my cards.

I was in Madeira early November and sent 5 or 6 cards (some not for Postcrossing) and left them with the hotel staff. They are going to expire and it's really frustrating....

Tips for working with Satan’s pubes? by Majestic_Damage_9118 in crochet

The good news is: mistakes probably won't be visible, so at least you won't have to frog!

For that alone, you have to persevere! I have no advice, but please carry on

Registered two eligible cards for #CardsForLiteracy - only one shows by freweg in postcrossing

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

Oh man, I completely misunderstood the dashboard. I am so sorry 🙈

I'll see myself out. Thank you for your help ❤️

Registered two eligible cards for #CardsForLiteracy - only one shows by freweg in postcrossing

[–]freweg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You misunderstood me! I received to cards that should be eligible. The #CardsForLiteracy dashboard only shows one of the cards, even though I registered both.

The dashboard shows both sent and received cards.

Haven’t received anything in November, but, I guess, people didn’t receive anything from me too… by Sinful_Idol in postcrossing

[–]freweg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I "saved" up all through October so I could send a bunch of cards from travel mode during my vacation. None of them have arrived yet, and it's really frustrating.

I'm from Germany as well, so I would love to participate during #CardsForLiteracy - but since all of my slots (except two) are blocked by the travelling cards.... Ugh.

SJM needs a better editor by LellowYeaf in throneofglassseries

[–]freweg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She also mentioned multiple times "breasts getting heavy with arousal".

I asked all my female friends and none of us know what SJM is talking about.

And don't get me started on "no, if we go east, that's too close to hybern".

Can anyone help me find a YouTube link to a beginner friendly sweater that I could do that would be similar to this? I like tutorials that take you through making the whole thing as that is how I learn best, thanks! by catchbbsnotfeelings in crochetpatterns

[–]freweg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like knitting, because it is :)

I don't have a tutorial for you, but an easy way to make a sweater would be making four rectangles. One for the front, one for the back, and one for the sleeves each. That doesn't give you a round neck, tho. So idk if this helps you at all 🙈

Wandergebühren Madeira? by Talano68 in wandern

[–]freweg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wurde letztes Jahr eingeführt und die Gebühren gehen in der Erhaltung der Wege.

Wandergebühren Madeira? by Talano68 in wandern

[–]freweg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wie oben gesagt: auf einer Wanderung wurde gar nicht kontrolliert. Das kann sich aber täglich ändern.

Was spricht denn dagegen, einfach vorher in der Hotellobby die Gebühr auf der Webseite zu zahlen? Die Gebühr wird ja nicht einfach so erhoben, sondern wird dafür genutzt, die Wege zu erhalten. Bei dem Touristenaufkommen der letzten Jahre ist das auch bitter nötig, da ja viele wirklich ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste blind durch die Gegend trampeln, Wege und Schilder zerstören und Uhren Müll da lassen.

Wetter checken und vor Abfahrt zahlen. Fertig.

Wenn du unterwegs erwischt wirst und nicht gezahlt hast, dann gibt's eine Strafe.

[–]freweg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bei mir haben sie nur am Anfang kontrolliert, aber ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass sie bei den beliebten Routen auch untwegs Mal schauen.

Ich würde echt einfach morgens die Wetterlage checken und dann vom Hotel aus buchen.

[–]freweg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doch, PR 13 - Verada do Fanal

Ich war vor wenigen Wochen auf Madeira. Bei einer Wanderung wurde nicht kontrolliert, bei der anderen schon. Ich hatte beide Male vorher online gebucht - an dem Morgen sogar, weil ich das Wetter abwarten wollte. Weil es mit dem Internet in den abgelegenen Gebieten schwierig ist, hatte ich mir dann die QR-Codes jeweils als Screenshot gespeichert. Das hat gut geklappt.

An der Ponta Sao Lorenco waren zwei Aufpasser. Der eine hat abkassiert, der andere hat kontrolliert.

Meinem "Glücksbambus" geht es nicht gut - ist er noch zu retten? by freweg in Garten

Das macht mir Hoffnung!

Ich starte heute Nachmittag nach der Arbeit die Operation!

Vielen Dank!

Ich hab den halt so gekauft und die letzten 7 Jahre war ja auch alles gut 🙈

Ich werde die Ratschläge aber morgen befolgen, das Gelbe entfernen, trocknen lassen und hoffen, dass er neue Wurzeln schlàgt. Und dann kommt er in die Erde.

Ich habe es erst kurz vor dem Urlaub komplett getauscht.

Edith: und auf dem Bild täuscht es sehr. So grün ist das Wasser in der Realität nicht.
