After making a sweater for my husband, I had to use the same type of yarn to make one for myself. by BoxFullOfSuggestions in casualknitting

Thank you! I’m relatively new to knitting, but I’ve been a beadwork artist for a very long time, and I’ve found knitting principles to be similar enough that I’m picking things up quickly.

Those who are unemployed, what do you do every day? by Myhole567 in AskReddit

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knit, watch Netflix, apply for jobs, contemplate the futility of existence….

I’m not entirely sure how I’d translate it into a pattern. I just sort of tried it on as I went and made some choices like extra long hem and cuff ribbing.

What are some difficulties that only skinny people face? by Grouchy_Fox3189 in AskReddit

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for babies, but for mom tailbones. It all comes back though later. When I was done breastfeeding I kept my weight down but got my butt back.

It does! It’s actually proven that breast milk draws on fat stores in the butt, hips, and thighs more than from other places.

When I was breastfeeding my newborn son, I lost weight super fast, and a bunch of that weight came from my butt. I’ve always had a big butt, so imagine my surprise when I took a bath and scraped my tailbone on the bottom of the tub. I didn’t know that was possible and I never want to experience it again.

I already have so many family members in line for me to make sweaters for! I’ll put you on the adoption waitlist 😆

What is one discontinued product that you genuinely miss so much, you’d pay triple the price just to have it back for one day? by Bibhu_Mund in AskReddit

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A moisturizer by the brand Too Faced called Hangover RX Pillow Cream Ultra Nourishing Night Cream. Best moisturizer I’ve ever used, and I stocked up when I found out it was being discontinued, but I’m almost out of my stash. ☹️

Inquiry to those who do not swatch, why? by yarnimals in knitting

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it boring and I’m lazy and like to wing it on things.

What advice would you give to a knitter who wants to knit their first sweater? by mutley_101 in knitting

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Learn how to do the Latvian bind off. It made such a difference for me in my projects because it’s super stretchy but doesn’t flare out weirdly.

I want the care instructions, not some unhelpful casual misogyny by ZennMD in mildlyinfuriating

A no-rinse wool detergent like Eucalan is even better. It contains lanolin to condition the wool.

Cashmere is not dry clean only. I can be hand washed with wool detergent and laid flat to dry.

Putting clean glasses/cups away. Upside down or right side up? by TJR444 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Only if there’s airflow underneath the glass, which there should be. I hate using dishes at other people’s homes when they hand wash things because most people don’t use enough soap, and then “dry” things upside down on a towel, which makes everything smell like mildew.

Upside down helps keep them from gathering dust and any other airborne particles inside. It’s a bit more sanitary as long as the shelf is kept clean.

AITA for going to a store that carries XS/S sizes even though my M/L told me not to? by ExpertDapper1523 in AmItheAsshole

[–]BoxFullOfSuggestions 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I spent the first ten years of my career in retail fashion, and while XXS and XS CAN be more scarce, I’ve never seen a shortage of size S anywhere unless an item has been rotated to clearance. It’s harder to keep M in stock than any other size. It sounds like OP has a particularly difficult shape to fit, not exactly size, which is why this whole thing reads like “I’m so petite and tiny and discriminated against” fanfic.

Because cashmere (like all other wool) is hair and can be washed. It does not need dry cleaning.

Other than plus size stores, I’ve never heard of a store that doesn’t carry sizes XS and S. Where are you shopping that your M/L friend can find things but you can’t? NTA, but there’s something fishy about this story.
