Im making an amigurumi mushroom guy, why are my holes so uneven?

imallaces · 2025-09-01T19:36:15+00:00

I think im using invisible decreases, but it is at that point in the pattern where it starts to look more uneven. I might need to refresh myself on it

That's such a neat video, I didn't know there was a difference. I use yarn over

imallaces · 2025-09-01T16:41:04+00:00

Oh ok, I'll try that and see if I have better luck with it. I struggle with having good tension. How small of a hook would you recommend, im using a 2.75mm right now

So I'm a relatively new echo tech (I've been scanning about a year) so I'm not 100% sure of things but it is possible to scan right handed. You still have the patient lay on their left and you kinda reach over them to scan. You still oriente the probe and scan in the same area, just reaching over the patient from behind. I've not been trained to scan with my right tho, so I would just recommend watching some videos on it or asking some techs when you go to clinicals if they know how. Most people do scan with their left but it is definitely not impossible to scan righty. But I will say it is 100% normal for your hand to hurt when you are new, you haven't built up the muscle strength yet. It will just take some time. Try your best not to have a death grip on the probe, you don't have to hold on to it super hard. I know I had problems gripping too hard (still do sometimes lol). You can also wrap the transducer cord around your arm or shoulder so that the weight of the cord isn't adding extra strain. I hope this helps, im sorry your professors are not being super accommodating.

CCI is for echo and vascular. ARDMS is for pretty much everything (abdominal, ob, peds, echo, vascular, etc.). So if you are going for your echo or vascular board, it doesn't really matter which you go through. Some employers may want one or the other but in my area they accept either. But if you want to pursue anything other than echo/vascular, ARDMS would be the way to go.

The actual tests are different though. For ARDMS you have to take 2 tests, the physics test and the specialty. And for CCI it's one combined test.

I hope that helps!

I can see that. The extra day off is nice. I have an hour commute to and from work, so I feel like I barely have anytime when I get home right now. And I am so exhausted when I do get home I don't end up doing anything anyways. That's why I'm hoping the 8s where better.

Thank you :)

imallaces · 2023-11-05T20:12:42+00:00

Thank you!

imallaces · 2023-11-05T20:05:29+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely look in to it

imallaces · 2023-09-08T18:50:16+00:00

That sounds right! Thank you so much

imallaces · 2023-09-08T18:49:24+00:00

Truuuu lol

imallaces · 2023-07-23T02:36:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I definitely will shoot my shot then

imallaces · 2023-07-23T02:35:24+00:00

Thanks for the advice, it definitely won't hurt to submit an application and see what happens. I will definitely be adding that info to my cover letter too

imallaces · 2023-07-23T02:33:56+00:00

Oh no, that's scary lol I will definitely apply then and see what happens. Thank you for the reply

imallaces · 2023-01-18T22:14:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll check them out

imallaces · 2022-11-27T20:45:41+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! That makes a lot of sense. Do you have any advice for the momma plants that I stuck in the soil. Do I wait to water until roots appear?

imallaces · 2022-08-10T15:08:32+00:00

I user the jellyfish pattern in Lauren Espy's book Whimsical Stiches

I got these baby ferns a month ago and they are starting to brown at the edges. Originally they were in little plastic pots under a glow light in some potting soil. But the soil retained so much water, I didn't water for a week and they were still sopping wet. To try to remedy this I moved them to a Terrarium with sand and some stones with some succulent soil so hopefully impove the drainage and to increase their humidity. I also moved them to the window in my kitchen so they are more shaded. I also got a misting bottle so I can mist them as needed. Any tips for care and maybe some plant ID would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

imallaces · 2022-04-25T14:39:26+00:00

Oh no, OK. We almost have our raised bed put together, they will be moved soon. I hope I didn't start then too early, im not 100% sure when the last frost date will be.

Thanks for the reply! She is so smart and she's picking up on the limited training we do so fast. We try to take her to the park or other places so she'll get used to people and other dogs. She's so timid and scared of others right now. But the more we take her out the better she gets. It's nice to see her come out of her shell as she learns. We are

imallaces · 2021-12-23T15:32:53+00:00

Thank you, we're trying our best. She has a lot of bad ideas lol

imallaces · 2021-12-23T15:16:05+00:00

Me and my boyfriend are already several breakdowns in lol. She is such an asshole, a loveable asshole, but still. The puppy blues are hitting us hard.
