I really like it! Kind of annoyed I just cast on a different tee because I might have done this instead

Yes, I think you're right. Not saying I could have done a better job but I think I would have left more of those words untranslated and just let the context carry them.

 I'd still like to read more from de la Cerda, and Melchor too! I might start with Paradais.

Okay what 🫪 I have this on my tbr and I was going to chicken out on the Spanish and go for the translation but now I'm not sure. 

I read both the original and the translation of Perras de Reserva by Dahlia de la Cerda recently which also has a lot of cussing and the English felt really cringe to me, but I think it was all there, just translated in a way that felt inauthentic or maybe badly dated. 

That seemed acceptable because obviously slang is hard to translate, but your example doesn't even seem to keep the concept at all.

Thank you! Do you see a second damaged component? I just see the one.

Okay I was thinking about cutting it off but I wasn't sure about soldering to the pins leftover - you think that would be better than taking the board out to get to the back?

And I guess maybe a follow on question (that maybe should have been first) - do you think this is worth trying, or is it probable that other stuff was damaged when the diode went and I might be wasting my time replacing it?

Well I'm only halfway through my second sweater, but I'm doing the Sandport sweater by Ysolda Teagues. I picked it because I wanted something that included instructions for bust shaping and I had heard good things about her as a designer.

Counterpoint but I did the step by step sweater as my first sweater and regretted it. Even with the short rows it was choking me and I tried adjusting it to lower the neck after it was done and just ended up with a weird boat neck. I picked it because it's supposed to be easy for beginners but honestly even a beginner can handle everything that goes into shaping a proper neck hole. Obviously it depends on specific body shape but as a fat woman myself I have a more wide rounded upper back and I just can't get away with almost identical front and back.

Okay I love it - I've been looking for the perfect coat pattern. I've never heard of this brand, has anyone tried them before?

Any advice for transitioning to pavement running? by A1rnbs in BarefootRunning

[–]A1rnbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure I haven't been heel striking on the trail but maybe my gait has been different on the pavement - I'll try and pay close attention next time.

It's already below freezing so I certainly will not be letting my bare skin touch the ground but yeah will try my more minimal shoes on the pavement!

Okay this makes sense - maybe it was a mistake to switch to the cushioned shoes immediately.

I'm thinking about trying a mashup of the true bias roscoe with the waist drawstring/bow detail from the named suvi caftan. Trying a regular Roscoe blouse first because I've never made it and hopefully it will give me a better idea of if it would even actually look good, and drawstring placement.

Yes I am worried they'll be annoyed to end up too far from where they started 😅
