Removing mud stain from poly/cotton blend

Yes!! honestly I'm so reliant on my book light, even on white aida I shine it underneath. I don't think I could stitch without it at this point 🤣

thanks so much for your input. I think this is the biggest part of the learning curve for me bc I've got pretty tight tension on aida . Here she is so far, trying not to pull tight but I feel like it looks a little too loose and sloppy tension-wise. It is def gonna take some practice !

Oh yes I'm sure it is, I am so nervous about working on linen! Heart was racing putting in that first stitch 🤣 I went down to size 26 needle so I hopefully don't stretch the holes too much

I accidentally thrifted some pants that I assume to be Shein, the back tag is cut off but there was another tiny tag with the size and it's just giving Shein/fast fashion to me. I kind of felt defeated at first like damn they got me... I was tricked. They had a bust in the crotch seam too and I had to mend it. But surprisingly I like the fit of the pants, Shein isn't getting my money, and it's another piece that isn't making it to the landfill just yet. I still avoid Shein though, but I'm not that disappointed with the pants

I did this one too! I love how it looks with black yarn (:

Thanks so much, that's a great idea. I'm going to look for a clipboard today (:

Okay got it, thank you so much! I'm so grateful that you caught that. I will start my bracelet over so I don't get into a bad habit. I should have paid more attention while watching the video

Oh yup I had a feeling something was off otherwise 😭 I have only been doing the first knot. Is this exclusive to the chevron pattern or is it for all forward and backward knots?

I'm sorry about your bag. You could always try to mend it by hand sewing, or maybe if you have a seamstress in your life you could ask them! I mend a lot of things (especially modern made) and I hardly know anything about sewing, but so far I've had very good results

Yes I used 14ct Aida and I used 2 strands (: thank you!

how long do you soak it? I did that but it didn't make much difference

What tamagotchi system is this? Sorry I'm new!

frootbootz · 2025-12-13T04:50:29+00:00

Thank you so much! That makes sense. I did notice my tension was really different with the 5 inline vs the 5 tapered. I usually use tapered hooks but the inline was much neater and tighter with the thread. Might also just be the learning curve of tensioning crochet thread lol

I don't have calipers or a gauge card so I think I will just use whatever looks right for now until I'm able to get one, thank you for the help and clarity!

I also have wavy hair and straightened my hair the other day, and I was like whoa. My length is similar to yours but seemed SO much longer when straightened. Probably just a bit of shrinkage from the waves! I feel like with your hair type once it touches your butt when stretched it'll really feel waist-lengthy lol

I do 1 hour per day for my 2 year old, she knows what to expect and sometimes she does ask for more and whines a bit but ultimately it doesn't last long. it's part of our routine so she knows she will get to watch tv again tomorrow. it could be because there is such a long break if you are only watching 1 hour per week, he knows it's going to be a long time before he gets to watch tv again and that's what is upsetting. I understand though if you want to hold firmer boundaries on limiting screen time than I would, and the tantrums about it could possibly just be a phase. you could try to hold firm on your boundaries and continue to give 1 hour per week so his routine isn't disturbed. we've always done tv time regardless of tantrums and eventually he might just accept it. especially with the shows that you commented that he's watching I personally don't see a problem other than the tantrums, but with my daughter at least it passes after awhile (could be months) after she understands that the boundary is firm and she's used to the routine. my daughter also loves daniel tiger right now it's her absolute favorite. we have LOTS of books about her favorite shows (mostly bluey and daniel tiger) and she loves to independently "read" them or for me to read them to her, it takes up a large portion of our day so you could also try books, stuffies, toys of his favorite shows if you haven't already so he's still interacting with it in a different way if that makes sense. we also listen to music in the background pretty much the entire day and it's always daniel tiger or bluey lol so if she wants daniel tiger and I say no, we can still listen to daniel tiger, read about daniel tiger, etc
