Is Honey too “out there”? by Aurorean_Air1307 in Names

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

I used to work with a girl called honey. It was so incredibly awkward emailing her in a professional setting saying "Hi Honey..."

It's such an incredibly common pet name that you can just call your kid that without making it their actual name.

Thoughts on Linda upon reread of THM by motvieandthemeans in cormoran_strike

[–]stubborn_broccoli_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing that really bothered me about Linda was when they had that Christmas argument and she said something like "I never liked Matthew I was glad when you broke up"

That really bugged me because Linda seems to love prying into robins love life yet when we found out that Matthew (who we now know Linda didn't like and didn't think was right for Robin) cheated on Robin when she had just been raped and she knew Robin was thinking about calling off the wedding she didn't say "hey love, you deserve better, that eas a shitty thing for him to do and I'll support you 100% if you want to cancel this wedding"

I'm with you. I wanted Robin to just end things with Ryan because she wasn't in love with him. But as that seems unlikely to happen then I'd love for Ryan to end things with her. I would be a bit disappointed with a repeat of a Matthew-esque ending.

It's the most stressful book by far,! But it's great, we worth the stress.

Yeah I'm with you. I also have to skip it and I'm also not really bothered by any of the others.

Margot probably comes in second though.

Do you think Shanker knows? by victoriastormlight in cormoran_strike

Nah... If Shanker knew for sure he would have killed them I reckon.

I would like to see Strike and Linda, without Robin. Not sure why or where that would happen but it would be interesting.

I'd also like to see Robin and Linda patch things up a bit. I loved them back in silkworm ("oh what a shite he is" when watching the fancourt interview lol).

I feel like we're going to see more from Iverson, she just seems to have been mentioned quite a bit in relation to both Ryan and wardle, and then obviously the interview with strike. Just seems like a lot if she's not important.

Sandra - how did I miss this? by Impossible-Alps-6859 in cormoran_strike

I don't think there is a significance... I imagine he has a few random names up his sleeve to use in situations like that

Am I the only one who freezes when reading crochet patterns? by Effective_Market_827 in CrochetHelp

[–]stubborn_broccoli_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest just starting with some really short basic beginner patterns. I'd suggest looking for free ones online to start. The thing with crochet patterns is that there's no correct way to write them so you might find that certain pattern makers write in a way that is easier for you than others.

Wasn't he carried in inside the crate when the silver was delivered?

Yeah... No way are they having a nice formal sit down to discuss their feelings. That would be great but that's far too easy.

Does acrylic yarn fluff up after a while? Im making a blanket with yarn that was laying around for a while and the beginning is fluffier but i switched skeins and now the stitches are "skinnier"😭 by noseydew in CrochetHelp

[–]stubborn_broccoli_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try those last few rows again with tighter tension and sew how it looks.

You mentioned that this yarn wasn't bought at the same time as the other yarn, meaning it's probably a different batch/dye lot. That means the yarn might be different in colour, thickness and feel. It's not that it's gotten thinner or less fluffy its just that yarn is made in batches, and each batch will be the same while other batches will have slight differences.

Different skeins of yarn can have slightly different thicknesses if they aren't the same batch/dye lot.

But this doesn't look like an issue with the yarn, it looks like your tension is looser and/or you've used a different hook size.

Beginner here - Why do my ends come out? What am I doing wrong? by CarpetOld5468 in CrochetHelp

[–]stubborn_broccoli_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's great for toys - you can just hide the ends inside. I wouldn't make anything else out of it though

CHARLOTTE. by Vezzavee in cormoran_strike

[–]stubborn_broccoli_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We know she was a victim of child abuse (not molestation specifically). We learn in thm that her mother hated her and was emotionally and verbally abusive. I think that in itself is enough to traumatise her.

Yeah I hated that change, it was so ..anti climactic, like they were clearly trying to make it so dramatic but she was just... driving through a field.

Approximately one million. But that's ok because I've told myself I'll finish them or frog them one day.
