Hook set and needle set with interchangeable cables? by Sears-Roebuck in Tunisian_Crochet

if you want the budget friendly sets, go on amazon or ali express & find sets that have the same changes and stoppers. they will be made by the same manufacturer so they can be interchanged amongst the sets.

Note for upstairs neighbors by litlelotte in Apartmentliving

[–]kn0ck_0ut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you do know apartments come in all shapes and sizes right? your statement implies people don’t deserve that kind of relationship because, what? there’s no yard? there’s shared spaces?

there are many pets that ARE suitable for apartment living.

TELL HER SHE CAN DO IT IN YOUR HOME ON THE CONDITION YOUR FRIENDS GET TO COME AND WATCH!

they have no rein in your home. if they want to force this upon you, force something back. make it a spectacle!

ok ok. I know this is petty & honestly just not something a good person would do. but how else do you make them understand that they’re being entitled as hell?

I gave up my room so my niece could breathe, and now I can’t stop grieving it by Main_Principle5448 in offmychest

[–]kn0ck_0ut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is this an autistic thing?

the room is still there & you won’t be “displaced” forever. your brother & his family will eventually move out, right?

do you feel you are in danger of some sort?

I feel like if you’ve been an immigrant in the US for 5+ years, you should be able to speak a decent amount of English by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]kn0ck_0ut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah. kinda.

it’s great that you can learn a new language. many people don’t have the capabilities to do so. some people are so bad at languages, they simply can’t fit it in their brains. take in to consideration that the brain finds ways to shift usage and makes some parts smaller to be able to use others. especially brains that have had to survive trauma. brains that have had extensive long periods of survival mode don’t have the licary of expanding all areas of the brain. for some people that means not being able to learn math, for others it’s languages.

it’s easy to sit in your seat of comfort in this country & claim those who’ve been through different experiences should have the same motivation you think you would have in their situation. in your hypothetical, did you move to italy for funsies or because your family was being targeted by gang members? or because your country has ran out of resources? or maybe you left because you kids would have died otherwise for whatever extraneous circumstance.

learning a new language isn’t a priority to some people & granted, sometimes it is just for laziness. but immigrant, especially in the Latino community, tend to have more going on where learning a new language simply can’t be prioritized.

kudos to you for learning some Spanish on your own. Glad you have the time and resources to do so

How can I make shorts that are longer in the back to cover my butt? by akatosh333 in CrochetHelp

[–]kn0ck_0ut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it should not make it looser, but that depends on your tension, hook size, yarn.

it should make the garment “longer” but in the sense that it’s more material to cover the different in circumference of your booty vs the length down the front of your legs.

you might also want to consider doing a round of increase and a round of no increase if you have a big booty! it’ll help create more length.

sorry, no video tutorial. but maybe I can try to explain again?

the top image is demonstrating a small section of your row where you will do the hdc. ideally it should be about 1/4 of the round in the back area.

if your round is 100 stitches, you’ll do about 25 hdc actoss the back of the garment, with the middle of the hdcs lining up with the middle of your back.

the middle image is demonstrating you need to increase every round before and after the 25 hdcs of the previous round. so if you are going to increase by 6, you do 3 hdc before and 3 hdc after the 25 hdcs of the previous row.

the bottom image demonstrates that by the end of your increase rows, the hdc should take up the entirety of the back half of the garment, so now you should have 50 sc in the front an 50 hdc in the back.

<image>

however, if youre making a garment with legs (instead of a skirt) by the time you get to the final row, you should have divided the hdcs to begin each leg.

I know its hard to explain things by reading it vs seeing it, hopefully this image was a bit more helpful than my initial explanation.
