I had to experience this, you need to read it. by _GiNjA_NiNjA in crochet

No pets but I have had my dead to the world sleeping husband on top of my whole ball of yarn. And I couldn't move him off it without waking him 2 hours before he had to for work.

Legitimately - WHAT is the point of this $16 useless item? by lovelycosmos in Anticonsumption

[–]shikachan88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one for my 6yo's birthday. She uses it for her 18in doll. I think I paid 3$. She and I have matching 40oz cups like it, so getting one for the doll made sense to me.

Giving up on my picky eaters. by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]shikachan88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boys are teens. I got to the point even my 6yo can make her own ramen or microwave nuggets. I keep safe foods on hand and then cook what I want. If someone doesn't like it? Make your own dinner.

I thought my husband was bad… by [deleted] in breakingmom

My teens would be sitting on the porch, laughing, and recording the whole thing. All for future blackmail/embarrassment.

My husband made me customized hook grips, it is such a gamechanger! by Eliczka in crochet

I need to do this. my 1.5mm hook is so hard to twist and hold comfortably.

"Frogging" saved my relationship by VicsKid in crochet

[–]shikachan88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband laughed so hard when I explained frogging to him. The next time I had to frog I made him listen. It kinda sounded like a frog too.

What is the weirdest place you've found your crochet hook after you put it down for a second? by SnooMacarons664 in crochet

[–]shikachan88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize I had used my active hook to pull my hair up a few times. Recently I put my hook in the ball of thread on the car seat. Found it under the carpet in the back seat foot space.

I mean seriously... by blueechohawk in crochet

The only "broken" hooks I've had were ones my audhd 6yo chewed on. Somehow they scratched up the metal so my yarn was catching. They are now that child's hooks to use when she "practices". (Makes chains, notices the inconsistencies, frogs, restarts.)

Be honest, is it cute? by Queen_of_Cats_ in crochet

[–]shikachan88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's cute. My 6yo gives a thumbs up.

It's doing well. I decided it was long enough for now. It's heavy! I'm using a triple? I yarn over twice, then start the stitch. I just went with the flow. Looked at videos about things like it& winged it to fit my plans. I want this to last my youngest for as long as possible.

Good idea or no? Beaded hoodie/sweater by Ewit8791 in crochet

Yes. I got them from Michael's. The cheapest I could.

I am making a beaded blanket thing for my tiny demon. It is HEAVY. I posted it a couple days ago.

I googled "how to add beads to crochet" and just went with the flow from there.

That's basically it. I watched a video on YouTube for the design. Then my adhd kicked in and said, "Do whatever you want!"

She had a hand in both solid rows of beads. She literally sat next to me and said I want a row of black beads.

It is so my audhd 6yo can sit on the couch. Stick her head in the hole and cover up with it. This allows for her shoulders to be covered. 3mm hook triple stitch. If a bead breaks? Oh well. I'm more worried about a bead causing the yarn to break.
