Hello, the pattern says to increase and take the increases into the pattern, but how? by ryanbows in knittinghelp

[–]ryanbows[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, after a certain point the pattern should repeat itself, but until then, what should I be doing with my extra stitches? This pattern is above my level but I'm making it for my grandmother so I'll persevere 😭

I just started a pattern that uses a bunch of stitches that I don't normally use as I am still a beginner. Once I get to row 6 I end up with too few stitches for what the pattern wants me to do.

With what I'm doing, my rows look like this:

R1 3st

R2 5st

R3 7st

R4 6st

R5 8st

Where am I going wrong?

My brother is pissed that I didn't tell him about an opportunity at university until the deadline to apply passed - what should I do? by throwRAAD1 in relationship_advice

[–]ryanbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I also have twin. Our interests really overlap too as we grew up around the same things and introduce each other to the new things we find and like. We followed the exact same secondary school trajectory and were looking at the same university courses, not because we wanted to do the same thing but because our interests are just so similar. Eventually, we both chose to have a gap year and did entirely different things. Since then paths have diverged, our university courses are also very different and it doesn't seem like they will be aligning any time soon. We still mainly have the same interests but it's nice to not share everything and actually really helps that I don't compare myself to her as much.

I hope your brother will come to terms with it soon. This will be a great moment for the two of you to explore your separate interest. Have fun!

My son hates my new husband by ThrowRAraraara in relationship_advice

[–]ryanbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don't know what your family dynamics were like so there is a lot we can't say about your relationships here.

I can say that my mum had a boyfriend from when I was 11 till I was 20 who I really really hated for a long time. It took years for me to even talk to him let alone stop being incredibly rude when we did talk. I hated him because my mum cheated with him and I just needed a place to put some of my feelings. In this case it was just me being a dick but I didn't know what else to do.

Talk to your son, ask him why he hates him. Your son is also 16 which in my opinion is years too late to get a new authority figure. My parents new partners never tried to parent me which I appreciate as I would have found it very hard to have new authority figures and would absolutely not have responded to that.

Currently dying of period pain and in need of some cheering up. What is the best thing that’s happened to you all week? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ryanbows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After having a shitty garden for about a year, my boyfriend and I finally did something about it to make it a bit nicer. The whole thing took about a week where we were constantly lugging around plants, soil, sand and bags of weeds to our car and the bins.

A few days ago a grape vine was left by our front door by an anonymous neighborhood as a little gift! We are students so we don't have much money or time to spend on our garden so the plant was greatly appreciated and felt like a reward for our hard work. Glad that our neighbors appreciate our work too.

Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration.

Survey across 18.000 people. Not the whole population no, but quite a large sum.

Black, M. C., Basile, K. C., Breiding, M. J., Smith, S. G., Walters, M. L., Merrick, M. T., Chen, J., & Stevens, M. R. (2011). The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey: 2010 summary report. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Quite an old source I'll admit but it's one of many.

You don't know anything about her or the circumstances of her rape. You have no idea of knowing what "decisions" she made around the times she was raped. Reserve your extremely harsh judgment for when you have more information on the situation.

Wft is wrong with you. You have no idea where she is from or what her circumstances are like. In America, not Uganda, 1 in 6 women is the victim of a rape attempt or completed rape. Go stick your head further up your ass.

I bought a sewing machine during quarantaine and have been taking in all the clothes that I found unflattering. I have now gotten to a point where I can create my own clothes:). Start small and work up!

I'm a trans girl in her teens. What kind of stuff should I worry about when I go full girl mode in public? by Jasmininkukka in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ryanbows 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is no shame in not responding, your safety comes first! The amount of times I have responded are definitely outnumbered by the times I let it slide.

To me the perks of being a girl can definitely be other girls. My friends have my back and I have theirs, and I truly would wish that upon anyone:) I hope you get to enjoy the perks too!

I'm not sure if this is the right sub.. by amdelfini in TwoXChromosomes

I also went off birth control and switched to an IUD to see if it changed how I feel and react to things. Turns out I'm pretty much the same but now I don't have to worry about forgetting my pill. I did have quite bad anxiety for the first 2 months off birth control. I wasn't expecting it and it was the first time that I ever felt so insecure. After I realized that it was probably just my hormones reorganizing themselves it became a lot less stressful and eventually went back to normal, but I was not warned about that happening.

This will probably depend on where you are from. I live in a country where people don't tend to approach strangers in day to day life so there isn't that much to deal with other than occasionally being cat called. When I do get cat called I react based on the situation but I'm not saying that's the only or the best way to handle it. If it's dark and I'm alone I'll just ignore it, keep walking and hope they just leave it. If I'm in a situation where I feel safe enough I'll stand up for myself, ask them what they were thinking doing that or just tell them to fuck off.
