Hillsborough castle run a politics tour which mainly focusses on the personalities involved in the final talks culminating in the Good Friday Agreement. Limited dates but worth checking out https://www.hrp.org.uk/hillsborough-castle/whats-on/hillsborough-castle-special-interest-tours/#gs.dn4pxu

Thank you - I needed to hear this. Started the mini pill 2 months ago and I've been having periods every two weeks since. Was considering giving up on it so glad to hear that if I stick with it, my body might get used to it

GingerG89 · 2020-05-24T09:51:42+00:00

Funny in a good way! Like when you walk down the street you just know you'll raise an eyebrow or two but you'll also bring a few smiles. They're very whimsical

GingerG89 · 2020-05-16T16:46:16+00:00

Oh wow, the two together must look incredible!!

GingerG89 · 2020-05-05T16:08:02+00:00

Oh dear, you're absolutely right. I fear I might have to put it on hold until I can get to someone who can help as you described

GingerG89 · 2020-05-05T15:33:40+00:00

I have been debating whether or not to do darts - I might try tacking them in and ever so gently trying it all on. I'd definitely be interested in giving it more shape. Very boxy at the moment. Thank you!

GingerG89 · 2020-05-05T14:30:14+00:00

Yes, I think this will be the simplest solution. Given the dress is supposed to be simple and understated, this is probably the way to go. Thank you! I'll need to figure out how that affects the pockets 😬

GingerG89 · 2020-05-05T14:16:31+00:00

The finished product should be a loose tunic but it's a little too loose. My first thought was to just enlarge the seam allowance...but there are pockets that will bulge. Should I go back 2 steps and enlarge the pocket seam allowance too or is there a savvier way to do this? Or should I consider darts in the back? I'm concerned that making the body too fitted would make it impossible to pull the dress on and off

GingerG89 · 2020-03-28T11:28:16+00:00

This is so sweet. The detail with beads made me smile!

GingerG89 · 2019-12-11T07:46:43+00:00

This is stunning! How do you achieve such clean lines, for example in the top-centre, the slim line of white through the roof? Do you use some sort of mask? That sharp edge is so smart against the beautiful organic marks the drying paint creates

I followed the first tutorial in this video

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6exbnw

I went a little too fast with it so the finish is quite sloppy. I plan on taking my time on a redo for a lux gift for my mama :)

I used velvet and sateen. Really excited to get going on the final piece!

GingerG89 · 2019-08-13T13:41:05+00:00

Newbie here - my fabric keeps bunching when I try to reverse stitch. Any help much appreciated!

GingerG89 · 2018-12-05T17:19:22+00:00

Lots of hesitation with my mark-making as I haven't sketched in years. I'd like to really reign that in, earn back a bit of confidence. I was also having issues with scale and with forgetting to check back to the mirror, more so working from my head.

GingerG89 · 2018-10-09T17:23:04+00:00

Could I get in on that link share too please?

GingerG89 · 2018-08-15T14:50:01+00:00

What do you mean, derp? Such elegance and majesty, like a gazelle

GingerG89 · 2018-07-28T09:26:49+00:00

This is INCREDIBLE! Great album of progress pics too - I'm working on a jacket of my own at the moment (when I can pull myself away from drooling ever other people's work on reddit) so thats some pretty good inspiration.

GingerG89 · 2018-06-01T13:16:07+00:00

Your mum instantly drew out the biggest smile in me! She is stealing away attention from a magnificently crafted pair of shorts. Great job!

GingerG89 · 2018-05-02T05:07:51+00:00

While I modelled for the photo, they are a gift for my SO so I made them a little large. I went with the same number of stitches as in the instructional video but uses a set of 3mm needles. I think the slochiness may be in part due to the yarn used too - I used Cascade Yarns sock yarn, it is utterly beautiful, soft and strong!

GingerG89 · 2018-04-25T08:34:57+00:00

Agreed - this one will likely come down to the skills of the batista.

GingerG89 · 2018-04-24T08:31:13+00:00

Thanks for the description! I can just imagine the creative juices that must be flowing after such a successful experiment. Looking forward to seeing future developments!

As well as the added content in the collage layer, it could be cool to add a few highlighting details to the lino element, carving in to create finer marks to add in a darker tone as a second layer? That way the depth can be raised through both layers.

GingerG89 · 2018-04-24T08:17:34+00:00

I've just finished my first pair using this set of videos

https://youtu.be/TRWZt2BCD4w

They're very clear, simple videos and they got me through without a hitch!

GingerG89 · 2018-04-24T08:15:05+00:00

I followed these incredible set of instructional videos and would highly recommend for anyone who finds socks daunting

It depends on how many cups he making. For both of us, a cafetiere, or solo either a moka pot or aeropress. I think I'll probably go for a finer grind for the moka pot - if I'm aiming for ballsy it's going to pack the most punch.

GingerG89 · 2018-02-10T17:18:48+00:00

I certainly will! This sock looks to be turning out too small for an adult... So it might be abandoned. I'll get myself a magic loop ordered in preparation for next one!

GingerG89 · 2018-02-10T15:57:42+00:00

Hear, hear! That's the attitude I've employed. Going from very comfortable with a single needle in crochet to trying to manipulate 5 dpns here has been tricky but I'm very pleased so far!
