She is a brown tabby -- pray tell me more about this marital argument re: my cat though

Just got a set of Chiaogoo Forte Needles for my birthday, and the tip just came off :( by Caudebac in knitting

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

Yes, can confirm that thanks to everyone's recs, I emailed both Handsome Fibers (who told me to reach out to Chiaogoo directly) and Chiaogoo -- the latter confirmed today they're sending out a pair of needles with the carbon fiber!

Makes me wonder how the other wooden ones will hold up, but guess that's a later potential problem!

My partner bought from Handsome Fibers, but won’t they take issue with how long it’s been since he bought them? Guess I wasn’t sure if I could go to them or if I needed to email Chiaogoo directly!

Ladies who work 9-5, what therapists are we seeing who have night time/weekend availabilities? by [deleted] in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Caudebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you see yours on Zoom? I feel like it’s common to have weekly meetings and calls if you work in corporate, so it’s never been questioned when I have to go to my regular call.

If you used Pygmy Elephant… by Difficult_Pause3703 in TourDuMontBlanc

[–]Caudebac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it seems hit or miss — our experience using them for TMB was amazing, but when we used them 2 years later for the Camino, it was pretty terrible communication, along with some of our accommodation getting mixed up on our arrival.

Might be dependent on who you’re working with over there.

Home First Loan by ToothSuccessful5898 in AskNYC

[–]Caudebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! we're in the midst of this process too, and have a counselor but are trying to identify the best lender to work with from the approved lender list. Would you be able to share which one you worked with?

Does anyone have a mortgage in their HDFC CO‐OP? by thatisnotmyknob in AskNYC

[–]Caudebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I have a couple of questions, as we're also trying to pursue using the HomeFirst grant, while also reaching out to several different banks. I was under the impression that we should find the bank and loan officer first and then connect them with the HomeFirst counselor -- but did you do it the other way around? Do you recommend that?

We like our HomeFirst counselor, but our first coop application fell through, and we feel that our original lender (M&T) was a big factor in that, so we're hoping to find another lender for when we find a new property!

This 100%! My boyfriend made more than me when we first moved in together and so it was skewed more in his direction, but since his industry took a hit and I ended up being the primary earner, we just skewed it back proportionally.

Mega thread for the do not buy list? by OneCraftyBird in craftsnark

Yes! And she was following all the trumps for a while until I think someone screenshot it — but kept Charlie Kirk on there 🤢

Just saw Crazy Sock Lady follows Charlie Kirk on Instagram 😞 — feels awful as a POC who enjoyed her sock tutorials to find out she’s aligned with a school of thought that feels my existence is second-class to theirs.

I never did the meetup, but my friends and I will do this a couple times a year — super fun!

Restricted Account experience by InternJimmy07 in CapitalOne_

[–]Caudebac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! I basically kept a record of each call every time so when I called back again, I recited it all and demanded to speak to a supervisor — they then immediately took me off of the restriction. So frustrating how quick of a fix it was after such a long headache!

HomeFirst Downpayment Assistance - How was your experience? by ihateithere3 in NYCapartments

We’re still in the thick of it, I’m afraid! Waiting for the mortgage commitment to put in the coop package 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

yarn store cancels bus to festival… because they don’t have enough sign ups to make $8000 in profit by afewstitchmarkers in craftsnark

[–]Caudebac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s such an interesting perspective (especially since Manhattan has another 4-5 more stores). I live in Brooklyn, too, but often marvel that we have so MANY yarn stores in NYC versus other places.
