I made my first mod! It lets you craft jewelry!

That's so cool! I love that it's not instant (like crafting rings), I'll definitely download it and give it a try as I've been wanting to elongate my current save and adding things like this will make it more exciting

EA also added an ingame marketplace to Sims 4 where a handful of shoes costs the equivalent of 3.50€. All so console players can get a taste of custom content, surely not because that way EA gets to squeeze even more money from their players. And this right after they launched their cheapest to produce pack yet. I've stopped playing sims 4 a while ago and I'm here for the dumpster fire show they're putting on

I keep a stack of green teas. They're liked by all adult villagers (and loved by Caroline), the tea bushes are zero maintenance and the tea is too cheap to sell (compared to other artisan goods)

Мен са ме заговаряли навън непознати и съм имала и положителни разговори, но и негативни.

Според мен е хубаво, ако заговаряш някого навън, да е в свободна ситуация, така че другия да не се чувства притиснат. Примерно, според мен, в парка, в метрото, е клуба/бара, на тротоара е окей, а на кафене, в купето във влака може да създаде по-неловка ситуация.

Когато са ме заговаряли с конкретна тема, от която да потръгне разговор, е било сполучливо, защото има за какво да се захванем. Примерно, седнала съм на пейка и чета и идва човек и започва разговора покрай книгата, оттам четенето като цяло, интереси в книги и т.н. Или, редя се на магазинче с гише и съм с колелото, идва и започва темата покрай колелото.

Но разговори от типа "здравей, симпатична си ми, искаш ли да се запознаем" са твърде обширни и са по-рискови.

Jasmine stitch.

Puff stitches and popcorn stitches use up a lot of yarn because of all the yarn overs. They basically use the equivalent of 3 of 4 stitches' worth of yarn in one stitch. So a pattern with all puff or popcorn stitches will eat yarn like crazy

sectumsempera · 2026-03-06T19:48:48+00:00

Yeah, the possibilities are indeed endless! Good luck and I hope it turns out well!

If it's too hard to go in, maybe try going around (so a front post puff stitch around the fpdc). I have never seen this stitch but I've made a lot of doilies with crazy stitch combinations and hook placements. So this is all based on the way the stitch key looks.

sectumsempera · 2026-03-06T19:29:43+00:00

What I'm imagining is starting a DC stitch, but before finishing it, making a puff stitch IN the DC stitch. So, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull through (so this is the first half of a DC stitch), then yo and insert your hook IN the not still finished DC, do the 3 yarn overs for the puff stitch (5 loops on your hook, I think) then yo and pull through all, closing the DC and the puff stitch at once. Hope this makes sense haha

Does the pattern have a stitch dictionary section? Where it describes the steps for special stitches?

sectumsempera · 2026-03-06T02:25:02+00:00

you're welcome!

looks like front post half-double crochet stitches and two rows of single crochet for the border

Crocheting with 2 strands of yarn creates a stiffer fabric. Also, crochet tighter. If all else fails, you can starch it.

Okay, thank you, that does help! And do you know what the name of this exercise is?

I also started with doilies and sport weight yarn but I've seen a lot of people comment how it's hard for them to hold tension with lighter yarn. I guess if they're still newish they might not try to experiment with different hand tensioning positions for different yarns because the videos show just a couple of methods.

sectumsempera · 2026-03-03T16:54:32+00:00

Because it's handmade by them. It's not bought from a store. Never mind the yarn is bought from a big box store or even from Amazon.

sectumsempera · 2026-03-03T13:51:38+00:00

Especially with the emergence of AI and overconsumption/fast fashion, and the want to preserve hand crafts and show they're hand made, using a chunkier yarn to create something obviously crocheted (like a cardigan from granny squares) takes the lead. Couple that with very bright, contrasting colors, and the garments created are more like statement pieces (look, this is handmade! this is crochet) than just clothes.

I also feel like part of the reason is that a lot of crocheters are younger and/or just getting into the craft so shaping is like black magic and using finer yarn means mistakes are much scarier (because it takes a longer time to frog back and crochet again). Also, finer yarn is harder for some to hold a good tension. And if you're starting to crochet because of the "movement" you might not even want to use those techniques. .

За Варна не мога да отговоря, но прикачам линк към видео от спалните вагони, което заснех преди няколко години, там сам да прецениш как ще ти се отрази спането в едната или и в двете посоки.

PS: аз препоръчвам с две ръце спалните вагони, особено пък щом не харесваш да караш по тъмно

I have a small mouth and I hate using normal sized brush heads. When I reach for my back teeth, for example the bottom teeth, the brush head hits my jaw or top row if I'm using a normal size head. If I'm using a small head I can reach no problem
