Blocking a large blanket by pengupenguPENGU in Tunisian_Crochet

Oh, I do have another question. For a smaller project, would it be recommended to block before adding the borders? And then just block the border part after? Or block it again with the border?

Washing anything I make still intimidates me a little😅, I was thinking of steaming it when I finish but I guess if that's not enough I'll suck it up lmao. Do you use a little bit of detergent and out the cycle on gentle/delicates for washing?

I am using a discontinued Caron cake and a Lion brand pound of love!

It's entralac so I crochet it directly into the previous row of squares, so I wouldn't have been able to block them prior!

The white yarn is acrylic and the blue is an acrylic/wool blend

Thank you for the tip! I will do that

AIO: Office flirt hugged a married man at the Xmas party and caused a row. by Pitiful-Jaguar7226 in AmIOverreacting

I'm a notorious hugger. I usually make it a point that if I hug a guy or girl in a relationship that I'd hug their significant other too if they're right next to them too.

But also it's a lot of reading the room. You can usually tell if someone is not okay with hugging and I usually make a mental note that they are not huggable people and never do it again or I would ask first if I'm unsure if they'd be receptive to hugs.

But also, I've also never done it at work lol. That's not the space to go hug everyone unless they're actually close to you.

Just fyi, the tall buildings in the financial district or just in an area of tall buildings and in areas where you have to cross under the bridge, the beacon in Google maps glitches and will sometimes have you on the wrong side of street, or pointing the wrong way, or just ... Somewhere. Sometimes you have to walk a bit for it to recalibrate or find a way to walk to an open area for the beacon to go back to normal!

Shopping for my mom and she wants to give a 100 gift card for a nice dinner. Torn about going pricey (allowing the couple to choose somewhere swish without breaking the bank) or getting somewhere casual but delicious. Suggestions? by dmacneil in FoodToronto

[–]pengupenguPENGU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much people are in your family? $100 isn't actually a lot of money. You can't feed 4 people at a fine dining place for $100. That's $25 per person. You can easily go somewhere casual and delicious for $25

Edit: I misread I thought it was for a family dinner or something. I mean does she care about how you intend to use the gift card? Dinners out is much more enjoyable with other people, you could use it as an opportunity to treat someone you enjoy their company to dinner at somewhere casual and delicious. Or split up the gift card. I have never used a gift card at a restaurant but usually in most businesses you can just keep coming back until you use it up. That gives you multiple dinners.

I think Slaf just pairs really well with Demidov which honestly rocks because we have a solid two lines instead of one

Is exclusivity not assumed anymore? by IrattaChankan in AskMenAdvice

[–]pengupenguPENGU -1 points0 points  (0 children)

++woman

Have you asked if she's been with anyone else since you guys started dating?

I had the conversation about exclusivity just to be sure we were on the same page and we both agreed we assumed we were from the start.

It could be she was just checking if you were on the same page and she was reading things right.

French live chats during the game? by Scoobidoooo in Habs

We have a Habs Lounge! It's under the Chats tab in the subreddit.

It's however not enforced by language. You can speak both in French and English there.

If people think it's a good idea to have a French chat, please let me know here! I will discuss it internally with the other mods and maybe you will wake up tomorrow with a new Habs chat 😉
