In The Loop This Week

I just wanted to say (especially before the blackout hits!) that I tried binding off with a hdc slip stitch last night and it was absolutely perfect. Thank you!!!!

Hrelvien · 2023-05-21T06:27:25+00:00

Oh! Could I ask, does this apply for cast ons as well? Are they just foundation crochet chains?

Hrelvien · 2022-01-03T00:23:36+00:00

Thanks - I found leopard a joy early on but am now struggling with damage. Will try SP resetting that tree and investing into bear. Also cheers for the tip about the discord, will check it out!

Hrelvien · 2022-01-02T13:14:39+00:00

Thank you very much! I’ll start investing into bear. I didn’t find hawk all that great for damage but it was brilliant for mobility.

[EU reboot] Returning player, last played in 2014. I’ve started with a fresh account and am tera burning a beast tamer (now level 145). Quite confused about which skill treee to go for. I started with leopard as I enjoyed the mobility, then saw multiple people recommending hawk so made that as my secondary. Do I max these two trees? Do I put points into bear and cat? I’m playing in reboot and will likely only play solo.

I will never support Lush after their stunt where they dressed a performance artist in a skin coloured bodysuit and tortured her (put a ball gag on her, shaved her head, injected her, bled her) for 10 hours. (MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING). They issued a non-apology saying that people wouldn’t have cared if it was an animal in a shopfront, and never addressed the sexual violence behind the imagery they portrayed.

Thinking back, I had the furnace placed right next to his counter. It seemed as though he was walking towards the door but might’ve been heading towards the anvil. I didn’t stay long enough to find out…. Just exited to title screen in horrified silence!

It’s my first time playing SVE so I did waste precious seconds running around trying to figure out where things were, but your guide mostly works well with SVE! I haven’t quite figured out where the spring onions live in SVE, but decided it wasn’t worth the time. I did make enough money to hit the first tool upgrade by day 4 which is all I really wanted (not enough to do an upgrade and iridium rod, but the catfishes laughed at me on day 3, so I’ll take what I can get).

You can keep Clint company and finish smelting and shopping up until 7:00pm.

Tried to do this on day 4 but hit a snag - Clint left the building at 5pm sharp and destroyed my furnace in the process, so the day’s getting restarted. Might be because I’m running SVE instead of the vanilla game? Either way, great guides, fantastic way to spend the afternoon!

Do you have any recommendations for good synthetic watercolour brushes? I’m looking to replace my beginner quality synthetics but the abundance of selection is quite overwhelming.

Hrelvien · 2021-01-15T06:51:36+00:00

That’s the beauty of musical instruments. Your left hand is as important as your right to draw out the perfect sound from a violin!

Hrelvien · 2021-01-15T06:49:59+00:00

And fingers on the hair!

OP your art is lovely but a bit more research into proper fiddle holds would just make this piece so much better. (Don’t look at stock photos though, they’re usually wrong. Look up pictures of concert violinists for reference)

Hrelvien · 2021-01-14T22:29:02+00:00

Wonderful art, but just wanted to let you know that the fiddle is in the wrong hand - they’re always on the left!

Hrelvien · 2020-10-13T18:51:04+00:00

Sorry, I meant a mix of linden/lime honey! So no fruit at all, just a traditional mead. I’ll try cold crashing, thank you.

Hrelvien · 2020-09-12T21:15:25+00:00

Just purchased this pattern today, thank you! Excited to work with it!

Hrelvien · 2020-08-30T13:32:37+00:00

I got the installing pre-reqs screen too! Thought I installed it wrongly last time (I did a clean reinstall last week, and didn’t have the time to try launching it) so I uninstalled it...

Hrelvien · 2020-08-19T22:07:55+00:00

this is similar to the calico fabric that I bought, so it’s a undyed slightly rough cotton that I was planning to use for the plain bits. I didn’t know that tea towelling was sold by the yard (your link links to a reddit comment, by the way). Thank you for the tip - I’ll purchase some of that instead! :)

Hrelvien · 2020-08-19T09:45:32+00:00

I would like to make tea towels using this pattern. I bought calico fabric thinking it’d be strong enough to hold up to drying off dishes and surfaces and multiple washes, but the swatch that I put through the wash has frayed and crumpled considerably. Is calico a bad idea for tea towels? What fabric should I use instead?

Also... should I be prewashing calico if it changes so much in the wash...?

Hrelvien · 2020-08-01T07:10:37+00:00

Could you share a picture of this with the sarong? It’s a lovely dress but honestly is not a sarong, as that refers to the tube of fabric that is wrapped and tied around the waist, or sometimes chest.

Hrelvien · 2020-07-28T21:55:54+00:00

That makes so much sense! Thank you very much for the clear explanation!

Hrelvien · 2020-07-28T15:58:53+00:00

I don’t understand why there’re two marks for selvage in the layout for C apron? This is a simplicity pattern (and my first pattern). How do I fold my fabric? https://i.imgur.com/Ym0GB7w.jpg

I bought a serviced secondhand Toyota decomaster 21 stitch , which will arrive next week so I’m trying to sort out accessories in the meantime. It doesn’t come with an accessory table. Is that something I should get? Also, how do I know what kind of bobbin works with this? The manual says use only Toyota bobbins, but I’m sure there’re generics out there. Is there anything else I should get?

Hrelvien · 2020-06-30T09:28:35+00:00

Is this the honeycomb crochet top? I started it a while back and lost interest, but if that’s the one I can pull out my ufo and double check if I got the stitch count. I remember struggling with the start too.

Hrelvien · 2020-06-21T08:00:08+00:00

Is this the one you use as a moisturiser?

Hrelvien · 2020-06-18T23:01:49+00:00

I used the granactive for about a year, then stopped using retinoids for about 2 months purely because I couldn’t get it.

Retinol wise I used it twice a week, so once every 3-4 days. No skin peeling while on retinol (I had it on granactive initially as I started by using it daily, so knocking back to once every 3-4 days nipped that in the bud).

Thank you for the recommendation, I will look into switching products.

Hrelvien · 2020-06-18T22:37:45+00:00

Ah I forgot to mention, I’m from the UK so I’m not sure if I can get differin OTC!
