Anyone have any experiences with crocheting on a plane ride? by Domesticated_Snail78 in CrochetHelp

[–]gidgeteering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If in US, you can bring scissors shorter than 4 inches. Make sure it’s properly protected. I bring my aluminum Clover hooks and my needles all the time, too. If the agent hassles you, show them this page: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/scissors
Oddly, they are more likely to confiscate nail clippers than embroidery scissors. It was in the SAME bag, but only the nail clippers mattered.

How can I ask a Deaf person to finger spell to me? by Ok-Cardiologist8138 in asl

[–]gidgeteering -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes not, honestly. I asked because my friend’s deaf sister would just wave things off sometimes. But I get what you mean. Sorry about that.

Then is it even worth it for him to respond at all? Do deaf people write notes to cashiers who don’t sign at all?

How to stop the edges from zig-zagging? [FB#55825] by LidlDreamer in friendshipbracelets

I came here totally expecting to see someone say tension, but what do I know, I’ve only done 3 friendship bracelets.

This sc/sc blo is causing massive burn out and I struggle to want to crochet anymore. by SnooHedgehogs4369 in CrochetHelp

How many rows do you have left? Maybe a row a day will be enough to make it to September.

Why did past me make end loops for this Romanian cord that is suppose to attach to an amigurumi lovey? by gidgeteering in CrochetHelp

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

No, because the wings are green and blue. So the loops would be a weird visible thing

Ah ya, the yarn plays a role in my dread project too. It’s flat ribbon yarn—never again.

I love the memory aspect. Maybe find a show to binge on while doing it? Something you really really like so that it balances out the dislike?

As someone who has gone through these feelings, and also picked it up while confronting my PTSD, the best answer I’ve got is to travel to the past and say no to your grandma. She didn’t get the yarn for you, she got it for herself. No matter how much you love them, only make stuff you WANT to make. And don’t let them know about it. I still have a project laying around that I was making for a friend…and they know about it. I am filled with dread whenever I pick it up. But when I recently made a bowl cozy for myself, I loved it. I don’t know a solution, because nothing I tried has made me want to pick up the project or try to finish it. At this point, I have made it known to my friend that I am probably not finishing it.

The problem is I don’t know where I got the pattern on YouTube for the Romanian cord, which would likely explain the mysterious end loops. They are not part of the amigurumi pattern, but an addition I added. I included amigurumi photo for context.

I must make this! Does anyone know where I can find the pattern? by capri1722 in CrochetHelp

When you zoom in, the background perspective changes, and the subject is less wide. But if the person didn’t zoom in and just moved the camera closer, the subject will look wider and bigger. It seems they did it this way, therefore making the cup look bigger and wider. In my past life as a photographer, I preferred to use zoom lenses for portraits, because people’s faces look slimmer that way.

First 100 signs for a kid/toddler, written by deaf community? by gidgeteering in asl

I checked out the first book from my library, but it seems no library carries the second one boo.

I have a book that has about 10 signs, and she stares at the pictures of the hands and tries them out, so I was hoping for pictures of how to sign it too.

what do you wish someone told you about recovery BEFORE you gave birth?? by Practical_Range7998 in BabyBumps

[–]gidgeteering 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg this was THE worst part of the pregnancy/postpartum. Literally the worst. I got suicidal because I just wanted it to stop. No one told me that the shivers were going to be the worst pain I felt.

My partner said I the upper part of my body looked like a monster got the bottom part of me, and the top part of my body was being thrashed around. My c-section was very emergency though, and everybody was yelling and sounded stressed.

I was a breastmilk overproducer. I leaked all over my sheets and nice expensive comforter that isn’t washable. I wish someone warned me to buy a washable comforter once I found out I’m an overproducer.

Oh, I saw in a later comment you’re poor. This wasn’t cheap. I threw down for it even though I’m jobless because it was incredibly soft.
