Pam, I totally get it. Sometimes all I wanna do is get dressed, run a brush through my hair and be on my way.View this post on InstagramA post shared by TODAY with Hoda &amp; Jenna (@hodaandjenna)Every song is fantastic — each a clear snapshot of what it feels to be 19 and on the verge of young adulthood. Listen to the entire thing all the way through at least twice, and then let me know which songs are your favorites.Here are mine!Especially the ones with flowers on them! I really like this one.Quick question for my friends out there who know a thing about sewing and knitting. Is crocheting something I can learn from a book or watching YouTube tutorials? Or do I have to find a class? I would love to learn how to crochet cute flowers and plants like these ones I saw at the farmers’ market a while back.…you wax your upper lip hair off and see all the stubby little hairs all up in the wax. Please tell me you do this because if you don’t, you’re missing out on one of life’s most underrated joys, LOL! So gross, yet so satisfying.What’ve you been loving lately?Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,KarenOk, so I need to make a trip to my local TJ’s to find those Day of the Dead cats and dogs.I must be a celebrity because I go makeup free all the time. And I’m actually comfortable in it. We met friends for dinner at Sula (in Sausalito, you should try it some time) and I looked at Dear Husband and I said, I don’t want to wear makeup this evening. His reply was, “Don’t you look pretty without it”. So I slapped on a tone up sunscreen and a tinted lip balm and called it a day.I never heard of Olivia Rodrigo before this. So thanks! Dang she’s only 20 years old.Crocheting… I think it depends on how good the videos you watch are and how visual you are. I remember my mom showing me how to crochet when I was in grade school. It’s basically doing variations of slip knots with yarn and a hook. Once you get the stitches down, single crochet, double crochet, crochet multiples in one stitch, etc. it’s pretty easy.Love all the crocheted sweaters and tops I’ve been seeing this fall. I’m just afraid with my gray hair and plush figure that I’d look like a dumpy old granny in one. And I’m forever trying to look sleek and sophisticated, which I am not. Lol.Have a good week! Hope it doesn’t get too hot up your way. They’re predicting low 90s this way. Ugh. I want autumn weather!ReplyCrocheting is so fun, definitely easier to learn some of the hand positioning in person when you get started but I think it’s definitely possible to make-do online through YouTube. I still go there for help with tricky stitches and I’ve been at it for almost 30 years.Once you get started and comfortable with the basics, Ravelry.com has a ton of patterns and I’m sure you’ll find something like those plants no problem!ReplyI believe if you check, the sweater is knit, not crocheted. Knitting is done on two needles, crochet on one hook, giving it a smoother feel.ReplyYes, you can teach yourself to crochet (or knit). I did, when I was 9 years old. Doing anything fancy, though, does require very close attention to the instructions and your progress. For example, there are row counters you can attach to your knitting needles to help keep track of what you’re doing. Well-written and illustrated instructions are very important, too. I’d recommend books, not videos, to make specific projects.ReplyI have a cool book from the library right now called “Knitting the National Parks,” which has instructions for winter hats with designs for each national park (there are 63 of them now!). I’d like to make one of these, but I don’t have the time right now. I did make some crocheted berets several years ago. That was fairly easy to do but required close attention to stitches made in order to get the shape right.ReplyKudos to Pam Anderson for going natural. She has wonderful freckles! It’s such a 180 of the look from which she gained popularity. I watched her documentary on Netflix and she seems really warm and genuine.I was reading about Olivia Rodrigo in Vogue. Did you know her father’s family is from The Phillipines, Karen?ReplyI learned to crochet by using a beginner’s book and online videos. This system worked really well for me. I also learned to knit the same way.ReplyCrocheting seems to be all the rage these days! My nephew’s gf does it as a side hustle for craft shows and such, and she makes some adorable things (dragons, pokemon, sasquatches, etc). That might be fun for you and Connor!I only know two Olivia R songs and like them both (Vampire and Bad Idea, Right?) so I’ll have to check out the whole album. Do we still say album? 🙂I hope all is well with you and I’m glad you’ve got September in your rearview!ReplyThis site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
