What kind of yarn to use to make stuff for my baby? clothes/blankets/toys
I'm expecting my second baby boy after a 20 week loss and I'm finally feeling a bit ready to crochet for my baby. However I am completely lost on what good yarn is for baby clothes/toys/blankets? I'm confused cause I've heard people suggest cotton but all the "baby" yarn I've seen is acrylic. Any brands or suggestions are super helpful. Thank you and I hope I'm using this group right. submitted by /u/run_shorty_run7 to r/CrochetHelp [link] [comments]

Burp cloths with premade holes for crochet border?
Hi! When I was a kid, it was all the rage to have these beautiful crochet bordered burp cloths like in the image attached. I have some babies coming into my life that I’d love to border some burp cloths for to keep that going! Does anyone by chance know if there’s burp cloths out there that come with the holes for the border to be added onto? Or suggestions for how to make my own?? Thank you!! submitted by /u/username6824235 to r/CrochetHelp [link] [comments]

AITA for snapping at my SIL
This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) OOP: u/imnotautistica Published on: r/TwoHotTakes Story is: ONGOING Story timeline Main Post: March 07, 2026 Update 1: March 10, 2026 Update 2: April 06, 2026 [NEW UPDATE] Main Post March 07, 2026 AITA for snapping at my SIL I (22f) gave birth to my daughter seven weeks ago, and since that day my SIL (my husband brother’s wife) who is infertile has tried to make herself the second mother of my baby. She showed up at the hospital uninvited and insisted on looking at me breastfeeding my baby, wanted to co-sign the birth certificate. Visited us everyday after i gave birth and tried to do skin to skin with my baby, tried to push me to pump so she could feed the baby, called my LO “our baby” as in mine and hers. Very important context to the story: I tend to mostly, if not only, take baby advice from my own mother since from what she is saying my baby acts like me when i was a baby, her advices have helped me a lot. I am neurodivergent and i have been diagnosed very early in life because of my sever sensory issues, that i am pretty sure my baby also has them. When I was a newborn i would scream my head off whenever my mom would put me in those baby dresses that had tulle, to this day i cannot touch it. It seams that my baby has the same problem, so to keep her comfortable as she is still little i dress her in cotton or soft crocheted dresses, but mostly onesies. Two days ago it was my mother in law’s birthday and we decided to go and take the baby with us, she spent most of the time in my arms as both me and her have separation anxiety, other than me, my sister in law was the one holding as she would take her out of my arms even though my LO would scream and cry until she was back into my hands. I told her multiple times that she should stop doing that and she immediately started guilt tripping saying that she wanted to hold a baby since she could never have one of her own. Let’s just say pp has made me very sensitive so i felt bad for her. It kept going like this until i stood up to use the bathroom, when I came back my baby and my sister in law were gone, to say i was dying inside is an understatement. I kept looking around the house until i heard my baby scream so loudly i thought she was being tortured. I opened the door to where the sound was coming from and my sister in law taking pictures of my baby, she had changed her in a dress with TULLE, she knows my baby hates tulle. My baby was screaming and kicking her legs very agressively as if trying to take off the dress. I lost it. I started screaming that she was a bitch and if god made her infertile it was for a reason as she was putting my innocent baby through pain for her own pleasure. My husband and his mother heard me and came running upstairs, my SIL had started crying while i was changing my baby. Then i just lost it and started crying while holding my baby, my husband took us home and i had a strong meltdown while he just held. My mother in law called me and told me that i should apologise for what i said, and im actually wondering if i was too harsh. EDIT: Thank for all the positive and also negative feedback, I will definitely be apologising for what i said and updating if something else happens. Also she knew about my daughter hate for that specific fabric EVERYONE did BTW i am NOT diagnosing my baby, her aversion for tulle is just something that i also have I AM the neurodivergent one. Do not worry i have spoke to her doctor about it and she agrees my daughter does have a strong aversion from tulle COMMENTS TheRogue0530 What you said was horrible, ngl, but it came from a build up of not putting strict boundaries down and her going wayyyy too far. Is she gonna apologize for her misbehavior? Or is everyone just taking her side no matter what out of pity? OOP Do you mean about the tulle dresses? If yes, we have put a strict rule since the day we saw her reaction to the material for the first time, no one has gotten her that kind of dress so my SIL knew better. Plus it’s not a situation where my baby just cries normally and looks uncomfortable, she literally screams and it looks like she wants to tear her skin apart PsychologicalAd7756 Being neurodivergent and postpartum doesn’t excuse one from saying things this harsh. Man, it could’ve been a pleasant scenario for the baby: with so many people adore her, including an aunt who would spoil her as her own. Was there any pretext before the birth? It reads as the OP and the SIL didn’t get along before. OOP I never used my pp and autism as an excuse, i’m literally asking to learn and if i have ill apologise for my harsh words to her. And my baby has multiple aunts and people that adores her, this won’t change that. But i don’t think putting her into a tulle dress that she cannot stand is a “pleasant scenario” for my baby. No, before the pregnancy me and my SIL were in good terms, she has just gotten overbearing since the baby is here kimariesingsMD BTW i am NOT diagnosing my baby, her aversion for tulle is just something that i also have I AM the neurodivergent one. Do not worry i have spoke to her doctor about it and she agrees my daughter does have a strong aversion from tulle No doctor told you this at 7 weeks old. The baby is reacting to all of the negativity. Be careful not to give your child a self fulfilling prophecy. OOP Did i say my doctor said my baby is neurodivergent? No, i said the doctor agrees with me that my baby does not like tulle and if she was reacting only to the negativity she would not be screaming like that only when wearing tulle. I’m pretty sure me and my doctor who have seen my daughter know better than a stranger on the internet JanetInSpain So you comment on the post about neurodivergence but have explicitly ignored ALL THOSE QUESTIONS about how your husband has no spine and is apparently not standing up for you at all? OOP I replied to one comment explaining that my husband is the one that is better at boundaries than me. He was the one that had the nurses kick her out after the birth certificate incident and during his paternity leave my SIL could not hold my baby more than 10 minutes. I don’t know where he was during the incident at my MIL’s house and i’m planning to talk to him about it to a long thread here in France healthcare is free and they have specific places for development motoring and they also this kind of question to detect allergies or anything of that kind. That was not the first time my baby had been put in tulle, she has the same reaction and only calms down if it’s off her. Yes a baby doesn’t not know she has feet or she is being dressed by she definitely can feel if something she doesn’t like is touching her skin Update 1 - after 3 days March 10, 2026 UPDATE: AITA for snapping at my SIL? Since the last post i took a screenshot of all the comments i found helpful and showed them to my husband, we stayed all the night awake (half with the baby and the other half talking) First of all, turns out my MIL had also to do with this. My husband told me than when he saw me go to the bathroom he immediately started waking towards my SIL to get our baby but his mother stopped him using the fact she needed help moving a table as an excuse to keep him occupied. We believe my SIL and MIL planned this so she could play mommy to my baby and dress her in something she doesn’t even like. Like someone guessed my husband’s brother (sil’s husband) is the golden child. Spoiled rotten. After that i started having a weird feeling about this situation and later on the day i called his sister who has been low contact with everyone in the family way before i even started dating my now husband. We talked for a while and then i told her what happened. Turns out im not the only one SIL has tried to do this to. My husband’s sister had two children, the younger one had colic when he was a baby and she wanted to breastfeed so she had to cut a lot of thing from her diet. My SIL decided to give the baby non safe formula secretly (she knew about the baby sickness) which ended up making the baby very sick. We both believe that my SIL has a problem with listening to what the mother of the baby says, and doing the exact opposite of what is asked of her, acting as if “she knows better”. After that conversation and also the comments from the previous post i decided it was better to just cut contact with that woman and my in laws (not my husband’s sister though), my husband is on the same page as me and we are looking into moving. My husband was the one who did the talking, he is way better at boundaries and putting his foot down plus it’s his family, explaining the situation to his family, my SIL of course went crazy on us and told me i was taking her niece away from her just because of tulle and that she had more rights to the baby than me, i feel like she doesn’t understand it’s not about the tulle, My husband just blocked them without even replying. We are hoping the story ends here, and hopefully we’ll move us soon as possible. Thanks again for the support EDIT: I don’t know if i still want to update if something happens, i’ve spent the last couple of hours just crying and crying. I’ve been called crazy and a liar by the same two people on my last post, how can I be crazy for wanting to protect my baby? Yes, what i said was harsh and i took full responsibility, but that doesn’t change the fact she hurt my SEVEN WEEKS OLD NEWBORN!! COMMENTS etis14 Why didnt your husband know about SIL’s behavior with his sister’s children? Why has he been low contact with sister? Was he oblivious to SIL and MIL and put the blame on sister this whole time? Like other said, be careful. This is extremely mentally unwell behavior. OOP My husband did not know the reason why his sister went low contact with his family, he just thought it was because she moved away. He doesn’t even like his SIL, way before this situation, he was so happy to go low/no contact Geezell That SIL needs to be checked…bigly…by those closest to her; her husband, mother, MIL, anyone really. Her baby desperation is going to get her criminal charges if she doesn’t slow her audacity. I doubt she would agree to therapy to deal with the loss of her dream to have children. Probably best that OP is moving. And, wonder how long it will take grandma to realize she is losing actual relationships with grandchildren by enabling the golden child and his wife. Idiot woman. oop Her husband is exactly the same as her, maybe less baby obsessed but he is still as entitled. I don’t think my MIL cares, she lost her daughter and two grandchildren, as long as her golden child is with her she is happy lenorenny "she had more rights to the baby than me" Wow, what a crazy bat Celestia-Messenger SIL is sick and needs counseling desperately. They are other ways to have children, she can adopt. She has no right to take your baby from you. You are Mom and know your baby best. OOP where i live newborn adoption locally is not the easiest, our country has free healthcare and gives financial assistance to mothers, especially if alone. It’s very rare to see people choosing to give their baby up for adoption. She clearly is not going to adopt an older baby cause she seems to loose interest once they become toddlers ExplanationMinimum51 NTA - The fact that she thinks she has more rights to the baby than you is psychotic!! If the baby is in daycare or anything like that, Make sure they know who’s allowed to pick up the baby & who’s not. Make sure they don’t have keys to your home. And get cameras! She’s lost her mind & who knows what she would do!! oop my baby is only seven weeks old, so she is still not going to daycare. Fortunately we live in a private building that has cameras all around and we have our owns in our apartment NEW UPDATE Update 2 - after a month (after 27 days from last post) April 06, 2026 UPDATE: AITA for snapping at my SIL? A month ago I had posted about how i had screamed at my sister in law after she had dressed my newborn in clothes she was not comfortable in, (my baby hated tulle because of her sensitive skin). A lot of things happened since then, i feel like i didn’t even have time to just relax. First of all, my baby is doing great, she is now 11 weeks and outgrew her “hate” for tulle, so like someone had mentioned in the comments it was just that as a newborn her skin was sensitive. Which makes me feel a lot better. Now to the update: We did get an emergency move, here is France we have something called assistant social, which is like a social worker, that helps you with everything, after getting a lawyer and explaining our situation, we also got my husband’s sister to give a written statement about her own experience with SIL, we were able to get a new apartment in another city, it was very quick because what happened is considered child endangerment and exploitation (she took pictures of a newborn without the parents consent). We did not tell his family until we moved and it was our lawyer that sent them a letter from his office saying that they cannot contact us and will not see my child until she is two years old. To our surprise my SIL did not fight it, she stopped asking me to sent her pictures or give her baby updates, it’s like a switch flipped and she just lost interest in my daughter after she got older But it doesn’t end here, my BIL is getting a divorce from her. Turns out she doesn’t want children, she only wants a newborn, that explains why she lost interest in my baby once she hit 8 weeks. My BIL found out about it because he always tried to get her to try IVF but she refused, he then mentioned adopting and she immediately said no because here the birth mother cannot sign her rights away until the baby is at least 2 months old, during that time the baby is placed in foster care. Also because of our country financial support to single mothers it’s very rare that someone gives a newborn for adoption unless it’s a private adoption between family members. My BIL started having doubts and weird vibes from his wife so he asked her what she wanted which he said started a massive argument where she ended up saying that she ONLY wanted a newborn not a responsibility (an older child to raise), as if a newborn is not a responsibility but only a doll to play with??? This were all told to us by my husband’s sister who had been contacted by her brother to ask for help Now we are in a new city in a feel way better, at first i was scared that i would lose my village, but i end up feeling even better, no more anxiety or depression. I think i am one of those mom that work better without help from people around me, also i do think its because i have an easy baby and a very very great husband. I want to thank everyone who gave me their support and advice, we are all safe right now, and will be for a very long time hopefully COMMENTS Corfiz74 SIL should get one of those realistic baby dolls that actually scream and wet their diapers... OOP from what i heard you can’t get reborn dolls in France, because of pedos Pristine-Payment My stomach turned; I'd never thought about that before. OOP we had a three months shein ban because they found out people were buying baby dolls with holes in it, so it’s better that we don’t have them No-Requirement-2420 Wow she’s crazy. Enjoy your little one and all the firsts to come far from her. OOP That’s exactly what i’m doing, postpartum it’s actually enjoyable when you don’t have your in laws in your ear telling you that you have to share your baby with people that don’t respond boundaries WarDog1983 I’m glad you feeling safer - I always hated the 4th trimester gave me so much anxiety. It would get less and less the further away from newborn we got. Once my kids hit 1 it would go away completely. I still don’t like to be around other peoples newborns. Because I just spiral about all the things that can hurt them. OOP omg i thought i was the only one that did that, i get so mad when i see parents acting reckless with newborns. I saw one that was giving her infant (not older than 6 months) soda while taking videos I got so mad i forgot i had groceries to do and just left This is a repost sub. I’m not the Original OP (OOP) Please remember to follow the subreddit rules, especially the ones about brigading.

Crochet tiny sweaters for babies - help!
I’m usually pretty good at hunting down information and finding the original source for images online, but I can’t find where these photos came from. Anywhere!! I want to make (or buy!!) teeny tiny sweaters and headbands (3rd pic) like this for my nursery/baby Sylvanians, but I don’t know where to start. I’ve done tons of embroidery and have made doll clothes with felt and fabric but haven’t tried my hand at crochet yet so I don’t know what I’m talking about - but the stitches look extra tight on these and like they’re using very fine thread, yarn, floss, whatever. Obviously, the first step is learning to crochet, lol. But after that, are there any good tutorials or videos anyone can point me to on learning how to make crochet extra small but still very clean and tidy? Any patterns for these? I’ve mostly only seen chunkier crochet for Sylvanians. And does anyone know whose images these are? Are they AI?! This is such a mystery to me, lol!! submitted by /u/jasitink to r/sylvanianfamilies [link] [comments]

Pregnant, in hospital, baby toy ideas to crochet please!
Hello lovely people in my phone, I’m pregnant in hospital with baby number two, likely to be in bed for a few weeks. Would love to have ideas for baby toys to crochet. I’ve seen crochet books, fiddle toys etc and looked on Etsy but I’m so overwhelmed. I don’t want to do any blankets or clothing/hats but would love other ideas and links. With baby number one I did a pregnancy bump project where I crochet the fruit or vegetable that corresponded to thane size of the baby that week and now we play with those items in our ‘shop’. So open to creativity too. I’m a competent crocheter and able to source anytime of yarn so no limits on ideas from that stance either. Thank you, really appreciate any suggestions submitted by /u/DoctorImpossible89 to r/crochetpatterns [link] [comments]

State of the Subreddit and Rules Discussion
Hi all!! This is a discussion post, we would like constructive discussion, free of name calling and meanness directed at anyone, including the mods. We are humans that are trying their best. We have a few things to address here so let's get into it. First off we'd like to say this sub is large, 2 million people large! Some perspective would be, the super bowl has an 80,000 seating capacity. Without rules and moderation it will become an unpleasant place to be. When the sub was still small we conducted surveys to help decide which way the sub should go re rules and moderation. All of the rules in place have been the same for years except for the recently changed no self promotion rule and some updates to stale topics. Surveys do not gain the required traction that they did when the sub was smaller. In view of that we have tried to keep the sub to the rules that were favoured in the past surveys. We also look for trends and make decisions based on what we see across the sub overall. This post is addressing the main complaints and concerns we have seen over the last week (and before that) for clarity and discussion. There seems to be some confusion about what you can and can't post. So much of what you guys were posting during "chaos week" is actually allowed. There are no restrictions on posting finished objects or work in progress pics! Mr Nipples is featured in our wiki! You can post pictures of your crochet bongs and genitals (we ask these are marked as nsfw). We want to see it all, cursed to amazing! Fursday Friends. A lot of the pet pictures that were being posted during “chaos week” can also be posted any day of the week!! If the item is for your pet/baby and is clearly visible there is no need to wait until Thursdays. If it's a cute picture of your pet/baby falling asleep or somehow interfering with your project (pets laying smack in the middle of your FO pictures) then that's what belongs on Thursdays. Those posts are more focused on the pet/baby than the actual crochet work. If you want to post pets whenever something cute happens, check out the pet focused crochet subs, r/catswhocrochet, r/kitting and r/dogswhocrochet. Fursday Friends spans 2 days when taking all time zones into account. We highly recommend that people blur or put an emoji over minors faces!! Stash Saturday. Our other "day of the week" post is Stash Saturday. This one is for stash pics (obviously), "what can I make with this yarn" queries, yarn discussion and other tools (hooks) and books. This rule was voted in as we had feedback that there were too many pictures of just yarn/hooks. This also is all time zones so is really 2 days that you can post over. Crochet for all levels! We’ve seen a lot of comments saying that r/crochet is not beginner friendly. We absolutely welcome new crocheters but ask that questions be asked in our sister sub r/CrochetHelp . On crochet they tend to be buried and remain unanswered. We see people saying that they don't want to ask on a smaller sub because not as many people will see it. While that might be true the interaction rate on CrochetHelp is a lot higher on these types of posts and the people that are on CrochetHelp are there because they want to help. NSFW! We admit that in the past, we were a little overzealous with the tags. We truly were not meaning to offend or censor women's bodies and we apologise. We have been taking a lighter hand with this rule for a few months now, and will continue to have a light touch here. Society has changed what NSFW means, it gets applied to so many things that are probably more suited to NSFL. We were basing it off of a school teacher dress code (so very literally, not something you'd be able to wear to work) so that anyone browsing the sub at work would have the option to view rather than possibly getting reprimanded for browsing something inappropriate. Going forward we will not be as restrictive but would still ask that small tops, bikinis/swimwear, underwear, crochet genitals, drug paraphernalia, weapons and profanity be marked NSFW. Question? Would you like some new flairs added, NSFW Clothing FO and NSFW Other FO (for example)? Please check your settings if posts are not blurred for you. We get a heap of reports for NSFW even when the post is tagged appropriately. Self promotion! Designers can absolutely post their work to the sub! It's exciting finishing an item! What you cannot do is spam the sub with your items or link to them anywhere in your post (no offering to dm, no mentioning shop names, no directing people to your profile). Lots of people are aware that people put their socials on their profile and they will find you if they want to. If we were to allow pattern designers the ability to post their pattern under the automod comment the sub would then get a lot of self promotion posts, there has been quite a lot of self promotion going on during “chaos week” PS, the automod comment is just a prompt, it is not a rule that you must post a pattern! Politics! We'd like to hear your ideas here. Would you like a megathread for political pieces or are you happy to see them posted in the sub? I’d like to point out that the sub is diverse, you exist in the space with people from all walks of life and we are trying to share that space with everyone based on crochet not political alignment. Things are crazy out there and we'd like to find the best solution we can that allows people to express themselves. Excessive Reports We’ve added a comment to posts removed by automod stating that the post has been removed because of multiple reports and that a mod will review and approve if it doesn’t break any rules. Kind and Courteous Going forward we will be banning people that make unkind comments. Commenting on peoples bodies, name calling, escalating arguments will all be removed. A first offence will come with a 3 day ban from the sub, second offence, a 7 day ban and third offence you will be permanently banned from the sub. We will allow appeals but this will be based on your profile and behaviour while banned, private profiles will not be considered for appeals. Ok! That's a lot of information!! Let's hear your thoughts in the comments. Please be nice. Remember that there is a person behind every post, every comment (ok, some of them are bots!) submitted by /u/LovelyLu78 to r/crochet [link] [comments]

Crocheted my baby's crib mobile!
Warning: I would not consider myself a crocheter. I know my way around a hook, but I am first and foremost a knitter (sorry). However. I'm also a 30 weeks pregnant first time mom who hasn't held anyone's newborn in 7 years and I don't know how big babies are, so I've been hesitant to make knitted clothes for my little one. Instead, I opted to make the crib mobile and discovered very quickly that there are far more crochet patterns for bees and flowers than there are knitting patterns. I grabbed some scrap yarn and got to work - and here we are!! I am SO happy with how it turned out. I think there might be some more crochet projects in my future... Patterns are in the comments, but this was mostly improvised. Cat tax on photo 5. Her full name is Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. We call her Mayhem. Yes, it's accurate. submitted by /u/pythagoreanwisdom to r/crochet [link] [comments]

Story time: over-consumption culture made me close my Etsy shop
I am a crocheter and a couple years ago, I ran a successful Etsy shop selling some stuffed animals that I made! It started as a way to make a little spending money (on top of my day job) and also allow me to crochet as much as possible without amassing a pile of things that I didn’t need. This Etsy shop started out being a lot of fun - my customers loved my work and were super happy to receive my work! But as I started advertising my work some more (via short videos on TikTok & Instagram), I started selling out more often and people couldn’t get the items that they wanted - I noticed that my customers started acting almost frantic. I would announce the day/time that I would restock my Etsy shop and would completely sell out within minutes. I had to imagine that people were waiting at their computers trying to get their hands on something from my shop. All for just a stuffed animal. Then the bulk orders came, I started noticing that a couple people were spending upwards of several hundred dollars at my shop every month. I hoped that these were all gifts, but honestly who knows that many people to give gifts to? I started feeling very anxious about this new pattern of buying habits - almost guilty that people were wasting all their hard-earned money on some stupid stuffed animal that I made - and that confused me. Shouldn’t I be grateful that so many people were loving my art and supporting me & my work? But I couldn’t shake that feeling, so I closed down my shop. I took a big, long break from crocheting after closing down my shop. I needed time to reframe what crocheting meant to me and find another niche in the craft. I loved making stuffed animals, but I came to the realization that I was just creating clutter for others to fill their house with - I wanted to create items that were useful or cherished. I tried making clothes but didn’t love how my first few cardigans turned out. Then a friend announced that she was having a baby and I decided to make a baby blanket. This friend was so thrilled to receive this gift (it was a surprise too!) and it really restarted my love for crochet again. Luckily, several other friends have been growing their families in the past year and they’re all getting baby blankets!! Being able to step away from the culture of over-consumption and be able to give someone joy through just one thoughtfully crafted & slowly produced gift has brought me so much more joy than my Etsy shop ever did. TL;DR - Etsy shop started catering to the culture of over-consumption. I started crocheting thoughtful gifts and my hobby started bringing me joy once again. Edit: wanted to provide more info about the Etsy shop - the stuffed animals were for older kids or adults only. I used plastic eyes that could be a choking hazard so they weren’t recommended for little ones. My customers seemed to be mostly college-age “kids”, think similar to the Squishmallow trend a few years back. submitted by /u/adsiderum to r/Anticonsumption [link] [comments]

Just Finished My Second Baby Crochet Set 🫶🏼
I just finished second baby crochet romper set, and honestly it was worth every stitch. I have been making samples for launching my baby crochet clothes business for a while, and this is my second sample. I was very excited to start the business at first, but later realise that it requires a lot of hard work so I am still in the phase of making sample so that I can make a decision of even starting it or not. 🫡 Even if I start the business or not, I get a lot of good comments whenever I post my samples, so here you go! Also, as always, can you guys tell me how much should I sell it for? 🫶🏼 last time. Also, you guys gave a lot of good suggestions and I also got a lot of enquiries on my last set. Feel free to provide suggestions and advices! submitted by /u/anxious_sunflower456 to r/CrochetInIndia [link] [comments]

Just completed my first crochet baby set, how much should I sell it for?
After like a month of planning, discussing and checking different yarns, frogging and what not, I just completed my first baby crochet set. The romper is made with 100% acrylic yarn and the top is blend. It looks so much better in person. But it took me a lot of days and nights ofcourse. I just wanted to come here and gather some insights on the piece. What do you guys think of the piece? What should the ideal pricing be? Currently I am shooting bits and pieces of content but we still have not launched an Instagram account yet. Honestly first I need to be sure that opening a baby hand knit clothes store would be profitable or not… since it feels like this field requires a lot of hardwork and the price doesn’t always justify that.. submitted by /u/anxious_sunflower456 to r/smallbusinessindia [link] [comments]

What's the most useful crochet item you've made or received thats pregnancy or baby related?
So I recently found out I'm pregnant, won't know how far along I am till the end of the month. I have a couple of bad habits I've obviously quit, but it's a STRUGGLE and I realize I NEED to keep my hands busy. I want to dive back into crocheting, but I'd like to start making things for the new addition. Preferably no clothes, I have no clue the gender so what's some of the most useful things you've made for yourself or someone else that's pregnant? submitted by /u/heyannaleggo to r/crocheting [link] [comments]

MIL gets all boys clothes, makes blue blankets, despite us not telling anyone the gender. Baby shower guests now think it’s a boy.
JNMIL has been obsessed with trying to find out the gender of our baby this entire pregnancy, as we aren’t telling anyone (I found out on accident). My shower was this past Saturday and she has been slaving away over 3 crochet blankets for a few months, and brought them along with a ton of clothes. Am I appreciative? Yes. But they’re all boy clothes, and because I was pressured to open gifts at the shower (I wasn’t planning on it) the impression of seeing 3 blue blankets, and tons of very boy-ish clothes (think suspenders and button up shirts 🙄) left all the guests thinking that it was indeed a boy and she must know because she’s the grandma. I’m livid. We ARE having a boy. But i really didn’t even want to know myself, let alone have anyone else know. I just hate that when people hear a gender they start buying all the crap THEY associate with that gender and I didn’t want that. I didn’t want the sports/dinosaur/truck themed clothing because I think it’s lame. I didn’t want people promoting gender stereotypes onto my unborn child. I just wanted people to experience the mystery of it since it’s rare people don’t find out what they’re having. But everyone is just obsessing over it until yesterday. Everyone left saying they can’t wait to meet the baby boy. One person told me they thought it was a cool way to do a gender reveal and I’m just like… what the f@ck? I hate my MIL so much. She has the most smug look on her face when gender related topics come up and I feel like this was the last thing to make me realize I genuinely hate her. It may or may not have been her intention with the blankets and clothes, but it’s hard not to feel like she just had to take a jab. She couldn’t just buy the neutral toned clothing I would ACTUALLY use. I also just remembered that she told me my tan looked “trumpy” (she hates him so it was in a bad way) and to be fair it wasn’t the best looking self tan, but like maybe don’t tell your DIL she looks gross in your opinion? Like I don’t know in what situation that would ever be okay. Idk maybe I’m just being sensitive about things but I just feel like I need much more distance from her and don’t really want her in my life at all frankly. I’m so mad. Am I over reacting? submitted by /u/GlitteringLove7433 to r/JUSTNOMIL [link] [comments]

AITA for only crochetting and knitting clothes for my youngest?
I (42F) gave birth to my youngest child in the summer. I have six kids in total but my eldest is technically my stepson. I'm only clarifying because the 4- year age gap between my husband and I would look very strange if I didn't. My kids are: Riley (24M), Amanda and Adam (16F&M twins), Imogen (10F), Aiden (8M) and Hannah (6 months F). After having my youngest, I decided to quit my job to take care of her. Thankfully, she's a very peaceful baby so I've found I have a lot of spare time and I decided to learn to crochet and knit. I started off with small items like coasters, socks and small table mats but I've decided to progress on to clothing. This is where the issue arose because I only made things for my youngest. This was because as she's a baby she's very small and I can make items for her much quicker than for the others and I'm quite impatient so I like to finish things quickly. Another reason was that because I'm still learning, I'm making mistakes and the garments aren't coming out perfect and a baby would obviously not mind or notice that. However, my older children are getting annoyed that I'm not making anything for them, I tried to explain my reasoning and I promised that I'd start making things for them when I get better at knitting/crochet but they think that I should make other things instead of only making things for Hannah. It's mainly Imogen and Amanda being annoyed about this, my sons don't seem to care. I spoke to my husband (46M) about it and he said that he understands where I'm coming from because it seems logical to practice on garments for a baby who doesn't care about how they turn out, but I should understand the older kids may be feeling left out whenever they see Hannah in a new handmade sweater or hat. I still don't think I'm wrong because I don't understand why they'd be feeling left out. I'd understand if I only made things for Imogen and not Amanda or vice versa because they're both old enough to receive a gift but Hannah is literally six months, she couldn't care less. My eldest, Riley, thinks that I am wrong about this and if I give something to one of the kids, I have to give it to all of them.

AITA For Refusing To Crochet Something For My Brother's Future Baby After Years Of Teasing?
Throwaway Account I (24m) have never been like the other men in my family. I'm introverted, artistic, and would rather cosplay than play sports. At age 14 my great-grandmother moved in with us and she taught me how to crochet. I loved it but my brothers, Jim (27m) and Tim (27m), used to tease me constantly for it when she wasn't around and whenever I would complain my dad told me that life's full of people that are going to call me names and that I need to "toughen" up. I honestly think he was just disappointed that I wasn't an extroverted jock like him and his other sons, felt like he could just pressure me into becoming more like him. When my great-grandmother died she didn't have much but she specifically left me her crochet "hooks" and I was very touched. She also left my cousin an unfinished baby socks that she was crocheting for the my cousin's baby, and I could tell my cousin was disappointed. We kind of had this tradition of our great-grandmother making things for the coming babies. I offered to finish what our great-grandmother started, using her hooks, and my cousin was thrilled at the gesture. After that I kinda inherited the position of crocheting things for any new babies in the family and I rather enjoyed it because I felt as if I was carrying on a legacy. Although, it did nothing to stop my mediate family from making jokes and calling me names. Despite the constant attacks against my sexuality Jim, ironically, came out as gay and has since apologized for his past treatment of me so we're on good terms but Tim is still a jerk to me. When I went to college I went low-contact with Tim and my father and would just tolerate them at family events. Last week Tim announced that he and his girlfriend, Tina (24f) were engaged and expecting their first child over social media and everyone was thrilled. During a zoom meeting with the family Tina said she would love a matching blanket, little hat and shoes for the baby from me, and I asked her to send me a copy of her registry for baby clothes. Tim laughed and said everyone knows that it's tradition that I make the items. I told him flat out that he doesn't get to make fun of my skills as a crocheter and then expect free labor from me. My dad said that I was being rude and needed to apologize. I countered that if Tim was hurt by my refusal to crochet for him then he should just "toughen" up and get over it and then left the call. Since then I've been getting text messages from my parents and Tim saying that I'm being petty and a jerk to Tina and the baby, but I haven't responded. AITA for refusing to crochet something for my brother's baby after years of teasing? Edit: Okay since I keep seeing this I'm just going to give some info. Yes I am aware that you crochet with HOOKS and not "needles." When my great-grandmother was teaching me she referred to them as a "needle." Granted she obviously made a mistake but when I was first learning it just stuck so that what I always refer to them personally and I will correct it. Edit For More Info: For more information the last time my dad and Tim made fun of /harassed me crocheting something was last year at Christmas. It's not like they stopped teasing me, calling me rude names, or questioning my manhood when I went to college. submitted by /u/Imaginary-Hall-2577 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
