New! The Herrschner's Worsted Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
New! We've just added the palette for Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn! If you knit and/or crochet, this is for you. This is a beautiful yarn with a nice feel to it, a good alternative in worsted weight acrylic! (Thank you again to BetwixtTheStitch!)
New! The Red Heart Super Saver Palette - thank you to BetwixtTheStitch!
Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features. In addition to the ability to create larger patterns (up to 500 stitches wide), illusion knitting and private labeling (no more worries about editing those pesky and messy PDFs), we've just introduced Filet Crochet, our most popular request! We have many more features planned, too!

Thank you.
I am new as can be, maybe 15 minutes, but I have done a lot of reading. My question is, does the size 50 x 70 mean the size of the picture or the size of the blanket?
it's been happening for months not just with this guy but others as well on instagram stealing designers patterns and designs and there's nothing the original designers can do but i know one thing i will never ever shop in hamley's again not after this
Line,
So glad to hear you didn't go there for a visit. Your trip to the zoo sounds a lot healthier and was a smart choice.
You have no obligation to accept that kind of behavior. Showing up would have given your unspoken support for her.
You're right that whatever it is that's causing her to do what she's doing, even hormones, is no excuse. At 5 years old, she would not have a choice. At close to 50, she sure does, and her choice is to make everyone miserable until the next time she decides to take off. Approving her behavior, as your stepfather is doing, is telling her she's doing the right thing, so when she does take off again (and you know she will), she'll be sure to cause maximum hurt...but in her mind she has "permission" to do it.
Go ahead and categorize her...she's being immature and irresponsible. At least you see through her and are protecting yourself and your family...that's the best thing to do!
Your stepfather's acceptance is awful...and worse, trying to get you to accept her, too. But at least he's an adult, so if he makes a mistake, then he should live with the consequences, not eventually push the same ones on you. Good thing you found out in advance, huh? Can you imagine being surprised with something so terrible, and in front of the boys, as well? That was so sneaky and underhanded, with your stepfather being as immature and irresponsible as your mother.
What she did isn't understandable in the slightest. She walked away before, and it doesn't sound like she's doing anything radically different to prove she won't walk away again...your stepfather will be in a world of hurt if he doesn't wake up to her manipulation. But you at least are doing the emotionally healthy thing and staying out of everything, protecting yourself and your family.
Sadly, some people love to head for self-destruction...and to take others down that path with them. Best thing to do is not indulge them, IMO. And family is the worst for that, because they know your vulnerabilities and know how to play on your emotions.
Kudos to you for doing the right thing, because it's not easy!
Kath,
What lovely work! Did it take you a long time to finish those? What kind of joining technique do you use for squares? Love that lace and how you worked it into a face! Is that your own design?
Excellent work!
