Beyond the sky and the earth by Jamie Zeppa. The only people I know who have read it have done it at my recommendation.

Don't buy the textbooks. You probably don't need them. If you do, buy a used one from another student for 1/100th of the price or get an online copy.

I recently stumbled across a crochet tutorial that really hyped the stitch markers and I definitely think it would help make things more concrete for me. I will try this method when I pick it up again, maybe in the winter. I mostly wanted to learn because of the granny square projects and how much faster it is then knitting for some things. We will see if I can figure it out, I guess 😅

(Edit: lemmy shit the bed and said my comment couldn't be posted so I tried again and apparently it posted both. Whoops)

I actually was meandering through some crochet tutorials recently and saw the tips about stitch markers and I definitely think that would make a huge difference! When I pick it up again I will try that.

I mostly wanted to crochet granny squares and make blankets like my gramma did...and be able to make certain other things WAY faster than knitting allows. We will see if I can catch on eventually, haha.

I feel like one is left brain and one is right brain 🤣 obligatory I'm a knitter, but I tried crochet recently and how the hell do you even know where you are? Like knitting you can count and it's super concrete and crochet just feels like a confusing free for all lmao.

(And I know if I put more time into it maybe I'd catch on and knitting probably felt the same when I started blaahblah)

I always just make Gramma slippers (aka phentex slippers). I always have someone who wants a pair...they get them when they get them 🤣

Similar hours, no kids but 2 dogs and 2 cats.

A Roomba and a housekeeper once a month to do the big things (dust, bathrooms, floors). Worth every penny.

I think having an isolated area for kids toys or an easy to dump bucket to throw everything in would probably help the chaos that I see in other parents' homes but as a childfree person I'm the last who should give advice on that so feel free to laugh and ignore that idea.
