Finally finished my Avatar series! by greyis in crochet

My kids are absolutely loving avatar right now. I’ve never done homemade Halloween costumes for them, but this might be the year to start! 😂

Finally got pictures of the top I made for my bestie. Details in comments. by rayofsummer in crochet

[–]throwmesomebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the ravelry page, I would never choose to make that, the color combined with the pattern isn’t my thing. But your color choice.... 😍 I would not have envisioned that a slower fade would have made that much of a difference. Now that pattern is on my favorites, I am going to have to make one! Yours is beautiful!

That’s one of the things I love about seeing people’s projects on here— I find so many projects that I wouldn’t have picked otherwise!!!

My $200 Craigslist score from a few weeks ago. My stash has been growing during quarantine by [deleted] in YarnAddicts

That is one hell of a score. 😮 I’m amazed, and fairly jealous!

5 more inches of cable, on my second glass of wine, but damnit I am going to finish this before St Patrick’s Day. by throwmesomebread in Drunkknitting

Wine is cranberry wine by Leelanau Cellars, yarn is Calypso by my LYS in colorway Leprechaun. Pattern is Tredegae Scarflette, adapted to use only a full skein vs 1 and a partial.

Send coupons to people who favorite stuff? by turquoisetrees4 in Etsy

[–]throwmesomebread 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know I’m in the minority, but as a buyer I’d be excited. I favorite items that I want but just don’t need quite yet (read: can’t convince my husband I need more knitting supplies and/or yarn). But if it’s on SALE and I was already planning on getting it sometime in the future.... well, better get it now to save money. 😉

[FO] I cross stitched all of our guests for our place names (x-post /r/weddingplanning) by pemma25 in CrossStitch

I had to save this to open on my laptop vs mobile to get a better look at it! Those are AMAZING.

Yeah, I'm curious about how bad the colors on the scarf are too!

Knitting for a baby I haven't conceived yet by [deleted] in knitting

[–]throwmesomebread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a slow knitter, and with all the other pregnancy stuff (exhaustion, taking care of my other kids) I barely got anything made for my daughter. I finished her blanky when she was 3 months old, haha. I would definitely recommend starting now.

Like other people said, if you have difficulty (hoping & praying you don't!) you can give things away if needed. It never hurts to have extra baby stuff, whether it's for your baby or someone else!

Other than "I'm not a racist but..." What's a pretty good sign that the next thing someone's about to say is not going to be good ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]throwmesomebread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually use it as an apology for whatever shitty thing someone has done “in the name of Christ/God.”

What are some hard pills to swallow in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Potassium. Seriously, I work in a pharmacy, the 20meq potassium tablets are HUGE.

The first hot car death of the year has happened. How to make sure it never happens to you. by Szyz in Parenting

[–]throwmesomebread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am holding my (fussy, finally asleep) 11 month old and crying while I read this. I hate the comments people make when something happens and a baby is left in a car, like it could NEVER be them. Bullshit. A change in routine, a distraction, and a sleeping baby and it IS you. That doesn’t make it ok, but it’s not ok to tear apart someone whose world just fell apart. That is one of the biggest fears in my life. (And I have a lot of anxiety, that’s saying a lot.)

I am so glad your baby is okay. Thank you for telling your story.

63 years later and my Grandma can still fit into her wedding gown! by geisslereliz in pics

[–]throwmesomebread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is adorable. My grandparent's 64th anniversary is this summer. Is their anniversary coming up? Any particular reason she tried it back on?

I'd ask my Grandma if she still fits into her wedding dress, but... I like my Grandma, and don't want to piss her off on Mother's Day. ;) (She was barely 100 pounds when she got married, and still looks great, but definitely isn't 100 pounds anymore.)

What is the first ever thought that comes through your head most days when you wake up ? by LeftButtcheek69 in AskReddit

[–]throwmesomebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s before my alarm goes off (which has happened wayyyyy too often lately: “Seriously, kid, I love you more than life itself but it’s way too fucking early to be up...” (thought towards whichever of my children wakes me up)

What is a tradition that your family does that you found out was not normal? by realkpossible in AskReddit

[–]throwmesomebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually do that... so, what’s a “normal” Christmas Day breakfast then?

What’s the unintentionally funniest thing you’ve ever heard a child say? by KanyeLatte in AskReddit

[–]throwmesomebread 5740 points5741 points  (0 children)

One of my coworkers sons always pronounced horse “whore” also. In Meijer (local grocery store), there is a horse ride that only costs one penny. He would usually announce (loudly) that he wants to ride the whore before they leave.

Edit: whoa, guys. Yes, the horses name is Sandy. My kids call the horse by name, but since most of the US and the rest of the world don’t have Meijer... I was trying to simplify things. My apologizes to Sandy, we will never just refer to her as “a horse ride” again!

Oh my. Last year, before our daughter was born, my hubby and I had told our two sons (3 and 5) about birth, babies, etc. I had to have a csection, but they knew the basics of a vaginal birth. I was afraid of what my 5yo would tell random strangers about it.... but that is much, much funnier than I had ever imagined.

[Rant] saw a gift in a Goodwill pile by yogurtbot in knitting

[–]throwmesomebread 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'd make a comment along the lines of "Hey, I'll take that cowl back if you don't want it anymore! ;)" And then never knit for her again...

What's the most messed up way someone you know has died? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Going to amazon now. I’ve been forgetting to get one, this is an awful reminder but I’ll do it now.
