Is that a good idea? I guess as long as you change it every single day it might be okay, but I thought you have to have a good seal with those things. Maybe not, I don't know. But we all know that thing will sit on there for weeks at a time. If she thinks her face is a mess now -- just wait until the bacteria/dampness/warmth combo every night worsens those break outs around her nose.

God knows she's using acrylic yarn since it's the cheap shit most people start with. That stuff is not breathable at all and is damn near impossible to get smells out of in my experience

Acrylic yarn's really unpleasant for any sort of garment, but for a beginner it's cheap and comes in a lot of appealing colors, so I'm not going to shit on her yarn choice.

But she's totally the kind to finagle a sponsorship deal wth a yarn manufacturer, receive a lot of really nice, expensive yarn, start working on her sweater—and then abandon it because it takes too long, and more thought than she cares to expend, in order to make a crocheted garment.

A CPAP machine cozy. The thought alone lets me almost requiring one myself. And I agree that the cozy will stink in no time. To me that's just the declaration of complete defeat that you rather crochet a cozy for Your CPAP mask, than trying anything to see if you can get rid of that thing all together. But we know, why that won't ever happen.

My problem isn't that shes learning with acrylic yarn, it's that she used it to make a cozy for a medical device

That GFM is fucking horrifying. They didn't catch that shit early. I truly hope they don't try to go through several procedures when this is clearly a terminal situation.

Spoiler

Powerlevel, but someone close to me was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer with bone mets and lasted nearly two years - palliative care was discussed several times and he never wanted to take it. By the time it was finally ending, he was a ghost of his former self, completely reliant on other people for basic care, and absolutely miserable when he was aware (which, thankfully, wasn't often). It feels awful to say, but he should have taken the palliative care the first time it was offered and passed with comfort and dignity, not chased after treatments that doctors told him would just extend it, not cure it. I hope there's someone in J's dad's life that can get that through to him.

Sometimes, doctors, especially in oncology, are not the best at telling patients when a treatment is futile. No one is immune to all of the "cancer warrior" rhetoric, not even physicians who see the grim reality of aggressive or refractory cancers every day, and it's hard to inform someone who wants to live that none of the treatments available are likely to work in any meaningful way. It feels like telling someone that they're not strong enough to fight, or that miracles don't happen. In the United States, anyway, that's not really a thing that people are prepared to hear.

You are also correct in saying that even if the doctor is honest about treatment not being curative, it's very difficult for a patient to accept palliative care only. Often, a patient will be convinced to "do everything" by his or her family. Even really intelligent, educated people want to believe that they will be the exception to the rule.

I've mentioned this in another thread, but it's really sobering how many doctors would forego chemotherapy or other treatment if faced with a personal diagnosis of one of these poor prognosis cancers.

It's possible he might not even know how serious the situation is. When my grandmother had cancer, they didn't even tell her how bad it was. They told the family who chose not to let her know. I think it was a misguided attempt to keep her spirits up and keep her fighting, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that the family is keeping the severity of his cancer from him. You'd think that couldn't happen, but even when my mother was recently in the hospital, the doctors talked to me directly but didn't give the hard truths to my mother. I was the one who had to have that talk with her. In my experience, doctors can tell family members brutal truths but don't like telling a patient directly.

As for Corissa's crochet -- not to shit on the hobby (I crochet and enjoy it), but I have never really seen a crocheted sweater that looks good. It's great for blankets, but not so much for garments. I can imagine Corissa in something like this:



Never thought I'd see Corissa go all Vanna White with crochet, but it should be amusing.

There is also the unfortunate side effect of US medical care being a business first and foremost and that means milking a patients insurance for everything it’s worth and then some.

As someone who crochets garments for a hobby I have to respectfully disagree. Check out this YouTube channel if your interested in some of the cute things you could be making https://youtu.be/CKAm3o525QM. Now on the other hand thinking of a crocheted piece of clothing on a heifer sized women is just laughable. Imagine having to create blanket sized clothing .

 

[FuckDuckSeagull]

Eh, at least she made a thing. I'm all for people learning new things and I do hope she keeps up with it! It might bring her some joy for the coming months of sadz.

The colors of that garment are repulsive (I know Vanna's got to showcase the colors in her licensed line of yarn, so yeah, I get it, but yuck). However, it could be okay in a different palette and with some minor adjustments (vents at the lower sides). Expanded to somebody Corissa's size, however? It'll just be a disaster.

Unless it's done with large triple-stitches, or an openwork stitch pattern, crochet produces a thicker, stiffer textile, with less drape, than knitting does. It's great for some things (blankets, bags, hats, cat beds and toys, cushion covers), but not so great for others. Shaping pieces (such as the head of a sleeve) is also more difficult and less precise.

The strengths and weaknesses of crochet can still be used to advantage if you're really skilled and creative, but nearly all the patterns I see for crocheted garments are based on flat, geometric shapes—the square, boxy sweater or vest; the triangle bikini top; the hippie-mandala circle vest—because they're the easiest ways to get a wearable garment.

If Corissa's going to make a garment, she should just stick with a massive granny-square poncho. It will still be eye-bleedingly hideous, but it will at least be still be wearable over her ever-expanding girth by the time she finishes it, and she can keep adding squares to expand along with her, LOL.

Those are nice, and look good on a slim woman with no dramatic curves—but expanded to megafatty size? Yeahhhh—I don't think so....

How much yarn would be needed to make something that covers Coco? Even on sale or for cheap yarn gets expensive fast.

I also absolutely don’t believe that Corissa has ever cleaned her CPAP. I can picture her being one of those fatties with brown oxygen tubes up her nostrils.

The first skein of cheap acrylic 4-ply yarn I could find with an afghan pattern on the label (Red Heart Super Saver Jumbo Stripes) calls for 40oz/283g of yarn (so four of these jumbo skeins) to make a 45" x 55"/114 x 140cm blanket. If you picked a solid color, which comes in 14oz skeins, you'd only need three. Corissa might be able to squeeze a simple sweater out of that.

At $9.50 per skein, it would cost $30-40, at full retail, in yarn alone.

Spoiler: yarn sperg

Fortunately, cheap acrylic yarn goes on sale all the time, and Joann has coupons, which means nobody with half a brain ever pays the retail price—but she could probably buy a cheaper acrylic sweater, in a softer fiber, at Walmart.

However, if she decides she wants a better-quality, softer yarn, the cost per skein is going to go up dramatically, and good luck finding what she wants, in the quantity she'd need, all from the same dye lot, on sale. The cost of nice yarn pushes the cost of a handmade sweater way up; even a readily-available merino like Cascade 220 (Superwash, because you know she's not handwashing shit), would probably run about $150 just to make a simple pullover sweater—and Cascade 220 is a moderately-priced yarn.

Nobody crochets, or knits, or sews because it's a money-saver (unless you're using all thrifted/scavenged/secondhand materials); it's all about getting something you can't buy readymade (for whatever the reason), as well as the simple pleasure of making something with your own two hands. And they all (but especially knitting and crochet) require patience, and the ability to defer gratification, because making a garment in even a small size can take weeks. I don't see Corissa having what it takes to stick with it and get a full-length scarf completed—much less an entire sweater.

We all know crochet is gonna make Corissa look even more like a meema. She already chose this horrible unflattering hairstyle that makes her look fatter and much older (Gorl, you are not Baby from Dirty Dancing) and combining it with a crochet sweater is gonna look hilarious. It's also not 1974. Stop.
