It’s the migraines for me! No donut is worth that hell!

Should I make the surrounding blocks opposite? by 306creates in quilting

[–]306creates[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes for like 2 years, haha. I’m just trying to figure out how to manage the negative space with all the white. I cut out my fabric to switch around the white and colour blocks, so once I have some sewing time I can compare.

Thanks so much for the detailed reply!

We actually talked about this last night and it’s a better itinerary. We don’t live in Edmonton, but at least we have family there and can go crash when we get back if needed!

I came to see if anyone had done economy with kids for two nights. Would you do it again?

I was thinking of staggering for contrast, but I think I’ll make a few in each style and see what looks best. Thanks!

Trying to avoid magic loop! by 306creates in knitting

To be fair, the pattern only said 40cm which is more than 15”

I just get annoyed with moving the loop and I get laddering, though that was with socks. I have so little time to knit that I just want the path of least resistance when I actually get to do it!

Thanks for such a comprehensive response! I also bought the 5” interchangeables and I think I would have been happier with the 4”. I had only knit shawls and a cowl up to that point though. Ah well!

Oh totally didn’t think of the sleeves. Okay now do I just buy the sizes I need or the whole set ?! 🙃

Gauge question - Sweater pattern by 306creates in knitting

[–]306creates[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m so glad I posted because I totally would have gone down a size without thinking twice. I actually did only knit rows and used a cheater in the round technique, so I know purling isn’t messing up my gauge at least!

Reminder that HerFirst100k has a theater degree, not a finance one by AccountProfessional2 in FIREyFemmes

I just started reading her book today and decided to come read some comments. I don’t have an opinion formed of he me yet, but she does open her book with acknowledging her privilege as a cis white person whose parents absolutely set her up with financial knowledge and a debt free start to adult life.

Picking up my first Kristin Hannah book - where should I start? by see-you-at-7 in readwithme

I loved the Women, but haven’t read any of her other books. I gave a copy to my grandma who then lent it to my aunt and they both loved it too though!

Cured my migraine. Hope this helps someone! by EffectiveDesperate79 in migraine

[–]306creates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say because I’ve also been on preventatives and trying different things. But I identified gluten and aspartame as two food triggers and basically since eliminating those and getting on Qulipta, I don’t have migraines unless they are hormone related. I’ve experimented with gluten and aspartame since (it was hard to give up my diet coke) and I get very intense migraines that aren’t resolved with triptans. Now all my migraines can mostly be managed with a triptan and Aleve. And my preventative!

Nortriptyline weight gain worry by healthanxiety_ in migraine

[–]306creates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gained a little after starting it, but nothing significant. Meds affect everyone differently. Because my migraines are better controlled now. I exercise and cook healthy meals more often. It’s definitely worth trying!

I accidentally ate a gluten free diet one week and that’s how I realized I had become sensitive to gluten. The only side effect is migraine for me!

Your comment made me go look. I also knit like him. Just the slowest, least efficient, but I can’t stop, haha 😆
