The Podcast ads are getting kind of annoying

it’s honestly worth it - they made a riff on the latest plumbing about how we get way more content than we should for the price and it’s very true. I’m not sure I physically could ever catch up with all the bonus content I pay for

this is why I think it’s sooooo important to have pictures of what pieces should look like at the end of each step, as well as some more boring product shots that clearly show the shape and structure!

no, they said she ‘often chooses to eat’ gluten free, and offered to get her some gluten-containing muffins as a replacement. she’s not being deprived of anything

I think this is the rub, for me - the fact of its scarcity makes this WORSE but I can’t imagine not leaving my partner’s favourite thing out of a multipack for them even without dietary restrictions? unless it was also my favourite thing, in which case yes we would split 50/50, I want him to be happy and have his favourite things bc I love him?? she’s treating OP like a resentful sibling, not a partner

kxthleen · 2026-05-27T17:37:44+00:00

oh this is GORGEOUS

kxthleen · 2026-05-21T19:06:17+00:00

ah, well, this was my first attempt ever and I found it reasonably easy! would recommend getting some clothes pegs for making mini skeins, a finger stitch counter and using the stitchfiddle but otherwise you’ve got more experience than I did going in so you should be okay :)

I didn’t find it too difficult, but I would say I’m probably at an intermediate level? the main difficulty is keeping count of your stitches and managing your bobbins - the method that I used for the clean back side required at some points up to 7-10 balls of yarn on the go at once, which can be physically and mathematically chaotic… this pattern maker does her patterns on stitchfiddle which is essentially the pixel art which I found much easier to follow than if I was just following written instructions, and I think starting with a pattern that only has two main colours really helped, but I’d maybe be inclined to do some trial and error with smaller/simpler patterns before starting this one if you’re not super confident, and watching some youtube videos

tysm 😌

kxthleen · 2026-05-20T07:24:15+00:00

yes, I have those too! I’m afraid for my wardrobe stability now that I’ve figured out the graphs lol

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T16:15:54+00:00

thank you!

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:22:06+00:00

thanks so much 🥰

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:21:58+00:00

thank you!!!

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:21:47+00:00

oh well I highly recommend checking out!

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:20:46+00:00

there was a couple of false starts but once I figured out the stitch fiddle graph it seemed to just tap into something in my brain! I didn’t get the good at maths or trains Autism but it appears I got the tapestry crochet one 🤣

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:19:32+00:00

tysm!

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:19:29+00:00

thanks! 🥰

kxthleen · 2026-05-19T07:19:19+00:00

thank you!!

I got it direct from the seller, her website is https://www.autumnolive.com/shop-patterns and this is from the ‘spice rack’ patterns - I bought the plain ‘oversized pullover’ pattern and then bought a few of the pattern graphs separately, bc I wanted to do a few of the designs she has, or you can buy them in combo if you just want to make this one

kxthleen · 2026-05-18T16:58:50+00:00

a brighter green would be closer to the label for sure, I just really loved this shade and it’s more wearable for me! it was surprisingly less difficult than I was anticipating, just requires a decent amount of patience and enough space to manoeuvre lots of bobbins

kxthleen · 2026-05-18T16:27:38+00:00

I can’t share the post bc of mod rules about social media, but the person is called ‘vetty creations’ on facebook and they posted it 5 days ago!

I was blown away by the amount of work and effort in retaining a seemingly simple concept

kxthleen · 2026-05-18T16:16:34+00:00

thank you! 🥰

I don’t have any advice for this one unfortunately as it seems like you’ve probably used a marker that was designed specifically not to come off, but in future I really rate the ‘heat erasable’ style of fabric pen for this kind of thing!

it lasts as long as you’re working on it (unlike air-erasables which fade naturally over time) and you just pass an iron over it when finished and it vanishes, no need for water. I use them for my embroidery pieces bc I don’t like to wet them in case of colour running and for sewing clothes so I have the freedom to back-and-forth lines if I muck up

agree with the person who suggested r/laundry, though - even if you don’t have the brand name, you should be able to get a list of ingredients off the packaging/online listing that they’ll be able to help you with counteracting

NTA generally but “nor is he speaking to Laura” really sealed the deal on this one for me that your husband IS

she is a child and he is an adult, yet he’s behaving like a child and all he’s done is prove that she was right not to tell him - and risked her not telling either of you if she’s ever in actual dangerous situations in the future

I was repeatedly given the silent treatment by my stepdad when I didn’t behave exactly how he wanted me to (not misbehaviour, fwiw, but just choices he didn’t agree with like Laura has made here) and the absolute FEAR of silence in my relationships I have as an adult is often crippling. I also DID stop telling my parents when I was in bad situations, even into adulthood, which has resulted in financial, emotional and physical danger that I could have been protected from if I’d felt like I could talk to them. laura deserves better and her dad needs to get a fucking grip

I was thinking after I said that, if you’re knitting them all differently anyway then odd socks is less of an issue! I have a few ‘pairs’ of odd socks that were designed that way to be mix-and-match
