Warhorse: Is anyone online this morning? Looks as if I'm all alone for a bit.

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK Ooh, invisible patterns? I didn't know those existed. I'm really looking forward to being promoted now.

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 My theory is that the trio tragically perished, and their digits are now retired, as though they were the jersey numbers on a sportsball team.

5 hours ago

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK I’ve actually been curious about that- when I filter patterns by “oldest” 3-5 are missing but I never learned why

Emmaloves: @Nainika I'm a bit late, sorry, but I can assume #17701 or #117 are quite easy to pick up, and I also found #104109 really easy to do, and didn't really use the pattern as I did it (I am paranoid though so I did keep checking haha). It might be helpful to print off a pattern though?

GiuseppeK: I never had the heart to call him out for any of it (he was my favorite unintentionally hilarious comedian that semester), but I'm haunted by the thought that my inaction may one day prove fatal. If he sincerely didn't know an anecdote from an antidote, someone could've been in BIG trouble...

1 day, 7 hours ago

GiuseppeK: Then again, it's not as though native speakers of English are immune to malapropisms (erroneously using a word, believing it means something else). I can only smirk at the memory of one of my professors, who had an extensive array of them. "These findings were corrugated by..." (the word he meant was "corroborated"), "he suffered abuse such as racial epitaphs" ("epithets").

1 day, 7 hours ago

GiuseppeK: If "degraded" is more ubiquitous than that as a search term, it could be simply a matter of one person mistakenly using the term believing it meant something else, causing a chain of consequent pattern creators to copy and use the term while brainstorming with what they should populate that particular box. For instance, if we're being honest, I'm willing to bet at least some of us weren't 100% clear on the meaning of "gradient" before we joined up here.

1 day, 7 hours ago

bugs_b1te: @GiuseppeK So true! I fear all my synapses have powered down for the day so we're on opposite sides of a dangerous spectrum😔 but I still think the patterns are cool, no hate to the creators

1 day, 7 hours ago

GiuseppeK: (That *is* presumptuous on my part, so apologies in advance if s/he has been summoned and takes umbrage.)

1 day, 7 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts Now that I've seen a few samples, I'm willing to bet the creator doesn't speak English as a first language, so I'd cut them a lot of slack.

1 day, 7 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @bugs_b1te Could be. I was just about to ask that we NOT share examples, since I didn't mean to put anyone on the spot. Coffee was still brewin', so in my defense not all the synapses were firing yet.

1 day, 7 hours ago

bugs_b1te: @GiuseppeK I looked it up and #137132, #142383, and #152334 are some more popular patterns that use it. I think it might a misunderstanding to mean "shifting" or, as @ab_crafts mentioned, "gradient"

1 day, 7 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @ab_crafts Can't say I've noticed. Do you have any examples handy? 🤔

1 day, 7 hours ago

ab_crafts: 🤔 hi. why, in your opinion, might people use the keyword "degraded" for thier patterns? Is there another meaning of the word other than "worn out" or "disrespected?" Do you think they may have meant "gradient," or some variation of it?

happygal: @hobbits24 😂 thank you! <3

1 day, 10 hours ago

Nainika: @winter_1 hi! Thanks ! And you spelled my name wrong (no need to be sorry)

1 day, 23 hours ago

winter_1: @Nianika Hi! Here is a pattern that gets imprinted in your brain! 😜#1013

1 day, 23 hours ago

Nainika: @GiuseppeK thanks!

1 day, 23 hours ago

GiuseppeK: No shameless self-promotion intended, but just had the photo of a couple of #196927 accepted. Well before I started on the second, I no longer needed any sort of follow along. 👍

1 day, 23 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Nainika So long as we remember the rule of 3s and 5s (to keep track of things as we go), maybe something in this family: #2123

1 day, 23 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Nainika Before I found this place, I was making a LOT of this one: #112428 Once you get the first few rows established, we probably won't need any further guidance.

2 days, 1 hour ago

Nainika: Can someone recommend me a normal easy pattern I can do without checking my screen it’s for traveling please?

2 days, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @tia100102 Admittedly, it might be TOO simple of a solution for our liking. In which case, maybe some variation on the "How to add a paracord buckle" might be the strategy (it's a tutorial here).

2 days, 6 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @tia100102 There's a YT video by a user called objeXionable: How to Add Clasps to Simple Friendship Bracelets [Tutorial]. I'd link it here if we were allowed.

happygal: @blackcat79 people are just so smart aren’t they *sarcasm* 😬🙄😭

2 days, 11 hours ago

blackcat79: @sophen I totally understand- I used to care a lot but now I’ve resigned to the understanding that people aren’t usually going to get my full name (EVEN THOUGH IT’S LITERALLY PHONETIC) It’s quite funny when people get it horribly wrong or just give up and read it out letter by letter (which surprisingly has happened twice)

2 days, 11 hours ago

tia100102: Does anyone know how to put a lobster claw clasp on the end of a friendship bracelet?

2 days, 11 hours ago

tia100102: @squirlte hi

2 days, 12 hours ago

squirlte: hi 😇

2 days, 14 hours ago

sophen: @happygal well i guess they kind if sound similar, buuut it's probably them being mildly illiterate considering they read it before they hear it, or at least i think they read it before they hear it

2 days, 14 hours ago

happygal: @sophen yeesh. Does it kinda make sense the mistake or is it just people being mildly illiterate lol

2 days, 14 hours ago

sophen: @happygal i've never been touchy with my name, i've learned to just accept that when i go to the doctor i'm not going to be called my name, i'm just going to called another name that doesn't even sound like my name and isn't even close to being spelt the same they just both start with a "D" lol

2 days, 15 hours ago

happygal: People be so touchy about names sometimes 🙄

2 days, 15 hours ago

happygal: @Warhorse @GiuseppeK well people mispronounce my name more than they say it properly 😭 i really don’t care at this point, but my younger sister gets absolutely infuriated still. It never hurts to ask 😊

2 days, 18 hours ago

Nainika: @Emmaloves true

2 days, 19 hours ago

Emmaloves: @Nainika No wayyy 😭 Kinda foul lol but I don't blame you

2 days, 20 hours ago

Nainika: Guys ! I just smelled my soap it smells super sweet I curiously licked it 😅 it actually tasted sweet as it smells 🤔🙄

2 days, 23 hours ago

winter_1: @Warhorse Yes! I'm very excited.

2 days, 23 hours ago

Warhorse: @GiuseppeK That sounds rather confusing, I didn't know Lyn (or Lynne) was such a common name.

sophen: @winter_1 hello! 👋🏼

3 days, 10 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Warhorse I'm glad you seem more easygoing about that sort of thing. I once dated two women one after another, Lynne and Lyn. Once, I made a cardinal error and called the former by the latter's name (she could tell: I didn't hold the "nnnn" long enough).

3 days, 10 hours ago

winter_1: Hi guys!

3 days, 11 hours ago

happygal: @Warhorse 🤣

3 days, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @happygal That looks right, I honestly have an easier time pronouncing it out loud than typed out lol! 😂

3 days, 11 hours ago

happygal: @Warhorse do you say it Lee- OHR -a?

3 days, 11 hours ago

happygal: @Warhorse seeing the colors changing making the bracelets tickles my brain lol

3 days, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @happygal Yes it is my real name, and thank you!! 😄💕

3 days, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @happygal And I think your bracelets are very beautiful too, makes me wish I had the patience to do more repetitive patterns like that 🙂

3 days, 11 hours ago

happygal: @Warhorse just subbed to your channel! Is Liora your real name? It’s so prettttyyyyy ❤️

3 days, 11 hours ago

happygal: I shall watch it fs

3 days, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @happygal And I'm going to make a youtube video on how to do loops for patterns like this, its not as complicated as I had originally thought.

3 days, 11 hours ago

Warhorse: @happygal Aw, tysm! ❤️ I don't think my knots are that good though, I haven't practiced consistently in a very long time.

3 days, 12 hours ago

happygal: @Warhorse nice job figuring out a loop! They are so awesome some patterns are soooooo bloody hard to do them on 😭
