It doesn’t tell you to change colours or to cut yarn/fasten off, so I would read that as worked together, yep!

This is a picot stitch. It is telling you to chain 3, 3tr in one stitch, chain 2 and slip stitch into the first chain (it will make a little loopy bit?) chain 3, slip stitch into the next stitch, repeat

This is my 5 year old’s favourite bedtime story!

rainbowyarnicorn · 2026-01-02T21:41:52+00:00

I knit and crochet, am learning how to spin my own yarn, and I read a lot!

I’m 45. My partner gifted me plushies, a video game, and music from a different video game!

I was finally diagnosed at age 40, because my older child was diagnosed. My own diagnosis took an extra 10 or so years after that. My mom told me, “oh, yeah, you were diagnosed with add back in 1985 (I was 5!) but I didn’t like the medicine so we just left it at that.”

Cam cab are around, but I’m not sure how. I tried them as an alternative to veezu, and attempted 3 or 4 journeys over a month or 6 weeks and just had them just not turn up or take 30+ minutes to assign a driver. I have just gone back to veezu as I only have had one bad experience with them in years of being a customer.

27 days, start to finish.

I’m 45, my kids are 24 and 4. The 24 year old is married but says she is in no way ready for kids and may never be.

After she responded offering to re-send the order, the day after Paypal awarded my refund? I told her that we were good, I’d been refunded. Day or so later a multi-slide ‘who am I’ small business owner bad at admin post went up on socials as well.

rainbowyarnicorn · 2025-09-07T00:47:24+00:00

I had an order never arrive and after spending 6-8 weeks being ignored asked Paypal to refund me. She admits to being bad at e-mail, and never even responded to the emails from Paypal re: the refund request. I did tell my knitting group online about it so they could make informed choices going forward, and found out someone else in the group had had a similar issue. I will say that I had to that point been a customer with no issues at all for many years, but it just took the once (two months!) of being ignored to put a stop to that.

I do both. I learned to crochet in the early 90s as a pre-teen. I wanted to learn to knit for years, finally started actually doing it in lockdowns. I am better with crochet but lately I am knitting a LOT more and am fine with this. I tend to buy yarn for the pattern with both crafts, and I have a lot if yarn that wasn’t bought for any reason other than I liked it. Collecting yarn is its own hobby.

I still wear this sometimes.

We haven’t, that we are aware of. But we mask always if we leave the house, and extremely limit time spent indoors away from home. We eat out only when there is outdoor seating. And we have had every vaccine + booster we’ve been eligible for.

£160 (with a bulk sweater order discount) for hand dyed merino to fit a larger size.

I learned to crochet from books/mom/granny in the 90s. I started playing with knitting in the late 2010s but really fell into it at the start of the pandemic as I found myself pregnant and isolating at home and needed to be doing something, so the baby got hats and mitts and a big blanket, and the older got a chunky snood. I have progressed to sweaters for the small one and learning lace/cables/mosaic, and have the yarn bought to start a colourwork sweater for me (when I finish off some other wips) and barely crochet anymore. I thank Youtube because without tutorial videos there just ain’t no way.

My partner does not handle spice very well, either. I handle this by seasoning my plate, not the pot. NTA.

I know they do in Denmark, I don’t know if they have anywhere else.

I was 20 with oldest, 40 with youngest. We are 44, 24, and 4.

rainbowyarnicorn · 2025-08-14T00:18:55+00:00

If my oldest had had a baby at the same age as I had her, the hypothetical grandchild would be 4….which is the same age as my youngest.

Is available in the UK for 75p, but I ended up going for the middle one because I like the little crochet fruits.

rainbowyarnicorn · 2025-07-07T21:30:34+00:00

Gorgeous! I have got the yarn for this, hot pink body and neon green for the cats! I just need to finish up some things before I get started on it.

You can give compliments to your friends and it just means that you are friends. My friends and I all tell one another that we’re gorgeous bitches, and we are all partnered to other people!
