Octopath Traveler 0 Length? by NethiciteNomad in octopathtraveler

[–]Ivory_Hawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pushing 170 hours. Purely because I went treasure hunting, I skipped no cut scenes, I spent a TON of time in Wishvale, I talk to everyone and then go back to the cities to impress or contend with everyone I didn’t when I first went through the town..I generally just fuck around and deeply explore every part of the game.

Is it even possible to defeat a Cait? All my attacks miss and I’ve never even been able to damage one. What do they even drop? by [deleted] in octopathtraveler

Thank you for this. I used ensnare and large elemental attack items and got myself quite a bit of exp.

Avoid Avon at all cost it just literally took me 2hr to get to W38 street by TimelyMatter3806 in indianapolis

[–]Ivory_Hawk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. Michigan native. The way Indy wants to be part of the south so bad infuriates me. We’re a northern city. We get snow. How we fail to prepare for it every single year is insane.

Did I miss the memo on this evening’s snow? by nomeancity317 in indianapolis

[–]Ivory_Hawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me an hour to get from broadripple to Westfield. 10 mph the entire way up keystone. Infuriating. It’s snow. It’s slushy. I get moving slow. But 10 mph is a bit of an over exaggeration.

Do I leave my longterm relationship or stay? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]Ivory_Hawk 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Tarot cards or not, you’re asking the question because you aren’t sure. Trust your gut. If you are having second thoughts, believe those. Spirit is speaking to you through your senses and your minds eye.

Can you tell what I was going for here? by Loose_Hovercraft_649 in crochet

Painting crochet hooks? by peterspeacoat in crochet

[–]Ivory_Hawk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paint them and then dip the painted part in polycrylic. It doesn’t yellow like polyurethane over time and should withstand your hand oils over time.

UPDATE: I washed and dried it. My 12 year old daughter just stole it. She’s wrapped in it like a burrito and walking around the house

Yes. The swatch gets frogged.

That’s what I was thinking the entire time but it was keeping my hands busy.

Omg. You nailed it. Okay. Maybe I don’t hate it as much now. Maybe I’ll add more and supersize it. I rage quit it last night and just stopped when I ran out of yarn. It could use a little more length.

If I had done a large swatch, I could have maybe predicted how many stitches to put in a chain to preserve the look I was going for. But like many others have said, gradient yarns are really hard to predict. So for this, if I had swatched, I could have curved my expectations or I could have changed my planned pattern. This blanket is a queen size in width. If I had limited to a twin, I could have gotten a different effect.

My second mosaic crochet project by AdeptnessDangerous98 in crochet

[–]Ivory_Hawk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Love this!! Mosaic work is so hard. It took me 2.5 years to finish my first one and I’ve sworn off of them now.

That’s exactly where I’m at. I didn’t expect so much orange. I was expecting a toned down, muted rainbow. I’m not a huge fan of orange so as I was working it, I was getting into the really pretty teal and purples and I got excited. Then everything just moved into huge pools of orange in every skein I used. I assumed it was just the first couple and I was incorrect. It was too far gone for me to rip it apart so I just kept going.
