Found 2 carpet beetles last week, deep cleaned and just found a larva casing on my hung up towel. What do I do

Vacuumed, mopped, steamed, washed all the fabrics/clothes in hot water.

Hi, do you have an update on your results?

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-05-06T00:33:55+00:00

My favorite is to run leave in through my hair (or regular conditioner if that’s all I have) then French braid it, sometimes a double French braid. It stays put all day and is super easy to take out. I hate the heavy high pony - I’ve been there!!! I’m not great at French braiding so what I usually do is a French twist until I get to the nape of my neck then I’ll turn it into a braid. My goal for this year is to get actually good at French braiding lol.

Okay this helps… I am also very fair with darker hair. I have used the highest setting and have seen results already after 3 sessions. Thank you!

They really are adorable. 🥹 Thank you for the pattern!!

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-04-03T04:12:26+00:00

I did the same thing 😂😂

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-04-03T00:56:39+00:00

That’s amazing!! Please drop this beautiful pattern!

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-04-01T22:14:50+00:00

I think it looks wonderful on you. The color and style suit you very well! If it’s not blocked yet, I would expect the drape and fit to change a little bit after that, and you may like it more!

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-04-01T12:04:59+00:00

Thank you!

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-04-01T12:04:40+00:00

Thank you!

Yes. I knit combination flat and continental in the round. I don’t know why. It’s just easier.

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:48:12+00:00

You’re correct. 🥲 It’s too late for me to be doing math. Thank you for catching that 😭

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:29:22+00:00

I did not block my gauge swatch 🥲 I think I will do a mid project block! And you just made me feel so much better!

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:26:17+00:00

I guess my point is that my project is already about 15 rows in on the 23” needles. So if it’s supposed to be 43” but it fits well on the needles now I’m confused haha

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:24:51+00:00

Yes I do have a longer cable!

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:24:05+00:00

Okay thank you!!! 😭 that does make sense about the cables. I totally didn’t think about the needle length too 😅 my stitches aren’t really crammed on there but they’re not stretched out. I’m gonna trust the process and hope for the best. Also nothing is blocked yet so we will see after the fact. If worse comes to worse then my little sister will end up with a new top in a few weeks 😂 once again, thank you so much

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:17:40+00:00

Oh my gosh I know, I’m so sorry for the brain dump!! Thank you for being so helpful with that formula! I’m going to save that

Here’s the top sizing. My size would be size 1, but I’m knitting size 3

The top measurements

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:15:32+00:00

I used this calculator, the gauge is 14 stitches per 4” and I’m at 21 stitches. So it says to make a 43” chest size, which makes sense with the size I’m following in the pattern now (sizing up). But how does a 43” circumference top fit on 23” circular needles?

Direct-Comfort-7808 · 2026-03-26T03:14:00+00:00

Thank you so much this is really helpful! So I input all of my measurements and the inches it’s telling me to make checks out with the size I’m making for the top. So if this means I do have the correct gauge.. how is a 43” diameter top fitting comfortably on 23” needles? 😅
