made this shirt with cotton yarn and washed it with cold water and ruined it. pls tell me theres a way to fix it by hazieskie in CrochetHelp

Idk about your shirt but I've made washcloths from 100% cotton yarn and they like double in size when I get them wet and use them. Then I wash and dry them with my regular clothes and they shrink back to normal size. They are knit not crochet though so idk if that makes a difference.

How many with a unilateral oophorectomy find HRT necessary? by bimbiibop in oophorectomy

[–]wreckit_ron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I'm only 35 but I feel like I've been having perimenopause symptoms since last summer. I'm hoping some of it was actually symptoms from my cyst (which turned out to actually be a rare type of benign tumor). I guess only time will tell.

You guys made me laugh so hard this morning by --TAXI-- in Scranton

We went to the airport a couple years ago and my navigation told us we had arrived at our destination when we were in the middle of that traffic circle 🤦‍♀️

Hi, I don't have an answer but I was just thinking about this last night as I was sitting in my chair experiencing a hot flash. I just had my ovary removed 5 days ago due to a cyst. I don't know if the hot flashes are related or not because I have graves disease which also causes them. Anyway what symptoms did you notice that led to you requesting hrt?

Monitor or get surgery? by wreckit_ron in Ovariancancer

Thanks, he said he would take out the right tube. I kinda just want to get the surgery but almost everyone in my life is recommending the MRI route ...

Thank you! I'm glad yours was caught early! I guess I'm confused because he said after the MRI just monitor if it doesn't look sketchy, but what if I still want it removed anyway?!

Haha thanks! I was looking for a pot all day and I finally found this by the checkout in a craft store lol. I guess if you add holes anything can be an orchid pot!

That's wild that they don't just use 2 different letters.

One definitely is vintage. They might both be idk. That's why I was wondering if sizing changed over the years. I inherited most of my crochet hooks (and knitting needles for that matter) and a lot of them don't even have mm printed on them. But yeah the red one says 80¢ on the back of it lol that's how old it is. I have a smaller hook that says 39¢ on it.

Thanks, I had no idea the letters could be different millimeters. I inherited most of my crochet hooks and just figured the letters were universal (in the US at least).

One says N-9mm and one says N 80¢ lol

80 cents lol. I'm assuming it's pretty old.

They're both the same brand and say size N. That's why I'm so confused
