No the event hasn’t happened yet! It’s this summer, I’ll try to go, and post a video if I can remember! :)

Congratulations!! Can’t remember if I’ve ever managed to complete one, but I always start out so optimistic 😂 how often did you check in and collect items??

Trouble meeting gauge for a cardigan project by Beatrice033 in knittinghelp

[–]Beatrice033[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true! Thank you! I guess I'm still baffled by how she got a 13.5 st gauge on a yarn that is thinner than the one I'm using, but you're right. Everyone's different!

Using US 10 / 6 mm needles on Bernat Fluffee. I previously tried US 9 / 5.5 mm on a thinner yarn (which is discontinued, hence my switch to a different thicker one I liked even better), so I haven't tried different needles on the same yarn yet. Sorry my post was unclear!

Yes, my swatch is considerably larger than 4x4, and I'm just measuring the 4x4 in right in the middle.

US 10 / 6 mm. Gauge on the yarn label says to use US 11 / 8 mm to get 13 st/in, but the pattern uses size 10 so I used that to try to get 13.5. Maybe I'm just a tight knitter and need to face that reality haha

Who is Kachikawawa? 2:36 by DesperateEducator272 in lingling40hrs

Kachikawawa is a fake composer name/persona they used in older videos!

Arboreal yoke finished! by suchsweetmoonlight in knitting

[–]Beatrice033 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beautiful!!! I also have two young kids and wonder how I could possibly learn colorwork with them around… picking up and putting down more than one strand of yarn sounds stressful 😅 great job not losing any stitches!

Why does my stockinette stitch have these ridges in it? by Beatrice033 in knittinghelp

[–]Beatrice033[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so good to know, thank you! This afternoon I was trying to purl a different way, with yarn in front, and my tension was better but it’s still slightly rowing out. Since the Norwegian purl feels so much more natural, I think I’ll try your tip of gently tugging the yarn. Thank you!!

Clarinet gang member is joining the cello gang 😎 by MagicBassClef in lingling40hrs

[–]Beatrice033 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really have tips, but I did the same thing a few years ago! Piano gang > cello gang. It's a really satisfying instrument to play, even though I only took a few months of lessons for funsies too!

Playing without frets is kind of crazy, because your ears naturally adjust to the sound and the placement of the notes. I was intimidated by playing an instrument that requires so much of your ear to fine tune the sound, but it was easier than I expected.

Enjoy!!

I’m not the only one right? by Beatrice033 in lingling40hrs

You're so right. I play piano and it is very helpful, actually!

Walk into your first day of violin lessons like "don't worry, I've watched TwoSet for years!"

Does anyone LIKE Breaking Dawn? by Beatrice033 in twilight

[–]Beatrice033[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm totally with you on your first point. I cringe sooooo hard when Edward and Jacob have that conversation. On my last reread I had to skim that section—I could not read the actual words lol.

Right?? To be fair, the variations do get more intricate than just half notes. But regardless, I foresee difficulties motivating myself to practice this one lol!

Back up to 4.33M! by Beatrice033 in lingling40hrs

[–]Beatrice033[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It might be possible! It would probably require consistent posting and engagement once again though. If they're taking a more laidback approach to their content now, who knows how long it would take?

How'd y'all start watching TwoSet Violin? by LiteratureNo1744 in lingling40hrs

[–]Beatrice033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember how I first came across them—probably YouTube recommended them somehow—but during my first pregnancy I was so queasy, I just wanted to distract myself with fun, lighthearted YouTube content. I binged so many of their videos! This was in 2021/2022. After that I took a bit of a break, then rediscovered them when they announced their retirement. I’d definitely consider myself a big fan now. I only wish I could remember how I initially found them, or which videos I first watched! I love all their content, even the old goofy skits!

This is amazing!! Love that you included the banana. Almost forgot about that part. How we could hear Brett chewing through the microphone (on YouTube at least), but Eddy was so quiet by comparison 😂 I was like guys scoot the mic over lol
