Back to School Resource Masterpost

Hi everyone! It's that time of year again, back-to-school and all the excitement of learning new things, along with the stress and anxiety that inevitably occurs. I've been on Tumblr for longer than I'd like to admit, and have compiled a long list of resources below!

Please note that I did my absolute best to find the original links to all of these posts, but many of them are 4+ years old and the users have changed blog names/deleted. If any of the links don’t work, or there is a link to an original post which I am missing, please let me know! Many of the master posts have dead links so if you find any updated resources please feel free to add on :)

hey rb and tag a food from your culture that everyone loves but you hate

If you crochet, please help!

So, I recently made the crochet fair isle hat pattern designed by yarnspirations. The pattern CALLS for caron simply soft, but I chose red heart super saver instead. I did all the measurements correctly, it worked up fine, but after I fastened off I discovered one key issue.

It. Does. Not. Fit!

I followed the pattern’s measurements and instructions to a T, and the sizing is technically accurate, but the crown will not stretch! I figured it was a result of the nature of the yarn, or maybe even the fair isle stitches. The ribbing stretches beautifully, yet the rest of the hat is ridiculously stiff!

So- is there any way I can stretch this hat out to actually be wearable?

I worked really hard on it, and I’d hate for it all to be pointless. Any help is appreciated!

A picture for reference:

Ok yes so we all knew that Aerin would be corrupted by the time we got to Whitetower, no surprises there. BUT you’ve gotta commend PB for the reveal that he was corrupted the whole time!! All those interactions with MC, the kind, gentle Aerin we thought we knew??? FAKE! The ANGST! The POWER! THAT put me through a loop.

This chapter is expensive but I gladly spent my hard-earned diamonds as a poor person bc I very much love this book and hopes it gets a sequel.

[bcimstillinlove]

This is FACTS Blades is the only choices book in which I’ve bought almost every diamond choice because I love it so much

[bcimstillinlove]

Uhh so I didn’t bother paying for the diamond outfit so they,,, changed my face?! I’ve been playing with the latina mc for all four books and suddenly it just,,, changes?? Huh??

Am I the only one who gets Maureen and Joanne vibes from Nora and Monica??
