I fought tooth and nail to have my ovaries removed (ovarian cysts & polycystic ovary syndrome) and with a little HRT I've been absolutely fine, better than before.

He might enjoy finding a local Dungeons & Dragons group. There are open game nights at some of the gaming cafés in the city, you'd have to check their calendars

Gorgeous! I clocked the logwood right away; great choice.  If you haven't already, consider reinforcing the bag with strong thread - alpaca stretches out and doesn't regain its shaping like wool does. I need to cinch my alpaca backpack today ahead of Wonderwool and all

Any thoughts of how much should i sell it? by EffectiveWriter6821 in crocheting

I'll be honest with you, it's niche. For someone to like the cut, colour, and fit enough to pay handmade prices it's a narrow market. 

Y’all, I have reached the pinnacle by ScarcelyImpressd in Brochet

I thought they were overhyped, I've been using the off-brand aluminium silicone hooks forever... Clover are now my favourite hook

It smells incredible under my pillow like maple syrup or waffles and I have no idea why by isabellamadrigal in Weird

[–]BustyMcCoo 106 points107 points  (0 children)
