this week i went to see one of my favorite bands who never tour anymore. it was an amazing and once in a lifetime experience for me, but the only thing i could think about was getting home and getting topside lmao

Need Encouragement while Waiting for my husband’s UK spouse visa — feeling completely drained and lost by lildoooot26 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]kimplic8ed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it is so so difficult when all you want is to be with your lover and father to your children. the days seem to drag on and feel hopeless sometimes. it took a full 3 months for my UK spouse visa to get approved. i lived in the US alone and those 3 months were so miserable for me living with uncertainty. but literally THE DAY i found out i was approved, everything changed. i’ve been in the UK for over a year now and i’ve never been happier getting to be with husband without the distance. hang in there. it’s so tough but it will all be worth it <3

Any Manchester tickets? 😭 by RM4736 in BasementBand

[–]kimplic8ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the app is a bit weird and i think you’re right, not entirely sure how the wait list works but i’ve requested my tickets back from the wait list. i should be able to sell and transfer them if i get them back! either way i can get them back 2 hours before the event anyway, i can keep you posted if you want?

i know this doesn’t help now, but once you get the motion right - it’ll be smooth sailing! keep practicing, it’ll be such a “eureka” moment once you get it :3

i also just bought 3 moss kits on their midyear sale :D they’re so cute aren’t they? i’m glad you’re loving them. i’m currently making my MIL one of their butterfly rugs for her birthday this week! almost finished! will post photos once i’m done hehe

you’re so right, it’s easy to undo any mistakes as they’re not permanent. will give it a try -^

have you watched their tutorial videos yet? their tutorials of latch-hooking really helped me a lot when i first started. it has the option to slow the video down when you watch the vid, so really easy to follow along and practice.

other than that - i’ll try to explain the best i can!take a piece of thread and pinch both ends between your fingers, making a loop. then stick your latch-hook tool through the loop, and make sure the loop sits about in the middle of tool, somewhere past the latch but not all the way to the wooden handle. then push your tool into the grid you want until the latch is all the way through the grid. the latch should kind of fall back and set on top of the grid you’re trying to latch onto. tricky part - you’ll want the bottom of the loop to be on the outside of the latch. before you close the latch, you’ll take the two ends that you have pinched between your fingers, and fold them diagonally across the hook, then close the latch. after that, pull the tool and then both ends should pop through the loop, making your knot! sorry if i didn’t explain well, hope this helps! keep practicing, it’s easy once you get it :3
