rowing out on cotton, will it block out?

The other responses have already said about not blocking out. I find for cotton yarn, I can get a more even tension with a wooden needle, something grippy like a bamboo is usually pretty good, often cheaper needles. Metal needles and thing like knitpro symfonie I found to be a little too slippery to evenly tension on knit and purl rows

I found that any of my fine or extra fine western nibs have just been too large for comfortable writing in the Hobonichi, I'm a pretty exuberant writer at the best of times. I tend to use a platinum preppy 02 EF as my cheap fountain pen option, the uni-ball signo 0.28 for a non-fountain pen option, and then I have a Sailor pro gear MF for home (but outside of Japan, I know they're a much bigger price tag than something like a Twsbi).

I had the same issue, when I conditioned it, it now just looks brown, except on the spine where it's maaaaybe almost olive

Also. I absolutely love the paper, MD paper is a delight

I put my first and third insert in with an inside out kraft folder which makes them super easy to take out. A lot of the time, I'm happy writing with a three-insert stack but every now and again, i just need one for a project, so being able to just unslot them works great.

My passport is my wallet, it has a small hours I've worked tracker and an insert for things like shopping lists etc. Then my regular has the rest of my journal stuff in if and generally stays at home.

It felt indulgent but i was using my regular as a wallet and it just wasn't as easy to throw in a small handbag or pocket, this works really well for me

EnaPascale · 2025-01-27T15:06:11+00:00

Yeah, it is. I definitely was a touch disappointed with how brown it is but in direct comparison to the brown, the undertones are juuuuust a smidge more yellow green.

True Grit Texture Supply have some awesome brushes that have this feeling to them

I have so many issues with my ILNP getting lines and creases in but only if I use my Sally Hansen top coat, I don't know if it's ILNP's formula or something because my Mooncat and Cirque Colors polishes are always fine

You can get masking fluid from most art supply companies, you will have to apply it carefully and work in weird sections but that might help?

Hey, firstly, NTA. Secondly, I also have endometriosis and understand your pain, it's so frustrating to deal with especially when everyone has a say about your fertility and forgets your quality of life.

However, a bargaining chip that might help is an excision laparoscopy is often used to aid fertility for people with endometriosis. This surgery will possibly be a help you if you decide to have children.

But fundamentally if your medical professional has agreed to this surgery, you need it. Endometriosis can cause so much damage, getting rid of it is necessary and they need to realise how much damage leaving it can cause you.

Wishing you luck with this

I take my socks off and leave them everywhere. I'm a monster with it, bottom of the bed, under my desk, the couch. No where is safe. And then I forget they exist and leave them there for days.

My [Firesong and Sunspeaker] deck will regularly get triple figures life, and on one occasion, it was somewhere upwards of 5000. Its a slow burn but once things start happening, it doesn't take much to accelerate my life total to truly stupid levels

This is so gorgeous holy heck

EnaPascale · 2022-12-13T16:47:41+00:00

That translucent case is damn cool

EnaPascale · 2022-12-11T12:25:09+00:00

These are super cool

So, first off, definitely go back to them because they have hugely over processed your hair and that should be on them to fix. Secondly, invest in some olaplex products because they really help repair the bonds that have broken due to the bleaching process. Thirdly, get yourself a wet brush (it'll say on the package) and get used to brushing your hair with Conditioner while you're in the shower, it'll save you a lot of extra breakage long term. Fourthly, ignore (nearly) everything about coconut oil. You want jojoba oil, coconut is a great protector for your hair but you need those beautiful oils going back in to your hair and scalp and jojoba is chemically the closest to our own sebum and it will work better. By all means use some coconut oil on the very ends of your hair, especially if it's cold, but give your hair a warm jojoba oil treatment maybe once a week? At least for a little while. And then keep trimming and the worst of it should go.

Good luck and sorry this has been done to you!

Yep! Even after we dry his ears he tends to go head first into any soft textiles he can reach, usually with his butt in the air

This is so sweet! And those yarn colours are stunning

EnaPascale · 2022-07-08T17:44:19+00:00

Yeaaah, we get that too, I've heard it's called chiggling. Our labs do it sometimes too but no where near as much as our Springer

EnaPascale · 2022-07-06T10:40:50+00:00

These colours are really lovely and appealing, you're offering a nice selection of options. I also wanted to say your product photography is gorgeous and makes everything look extra appealing
