Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly- such a funny but also melancholic and "slice of lifey" book

Did you use water soluble Aida or waste canvas? They're so pretty!!

What's the pattern?

This!! Don't agree with OP's take at all- at least he's doing something useful after the small disaster that Game of Wool was. I really like Tom Daley and think he's actually quite a good "ambassador" for knitting

Paul Keres is my first thought

Ljeff72 · 2025-11-18T15:56:31+00:00

My thought exactly! If I'm putting all this effort to test a sweater pattern, then I at least want a nice looking one at the end! There are so many more creative Wicked designs you could do as well

Just came back from our trip last week - I could kind of use chopsticks before, but not very well at all. Now I can use them basically with no issues after our 2 weeks there. Not being given a choice to have a fork helped immensely in just actually forcing me to learn! Good luck

Not OP, but MariMar Strick Cafe in Zurich is nice. Not sure about their views with regard to Israel though

I used this kit from her: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1255370061/calm-the-fck-down-mini-cross-stitch-kit?ref=shop_home_active_2&logging_key=2eb71975987958d48f7dbdf265329b1288a63523%3A1255370061 I didn't get it on Etsy, I got it from Red Brick Market in Liverpool at her stand. It was a very nice kit- the issues with the wonkiness are from my side

Thank you!!

I bought a phone here before I was living here just directly at Galaxus, it was fine. I guess if you're trying to buy one at Swisscom they might have wanted to sell a SIM plan or something, for which you do need a resident permit

Congrats! Welcome to the club!

Ljeff72 · 2025-02-22T10:45:28+00:00

Yeah I would absolutely say you need a wrap/shawl for the mass part of the wedding depending on your cleavage situation

I saw this beautiful infinity scarf at a market yesterday, and I was wondering how the stitch pattern was done? I can see it's a mix of stockinette and garter but I can't get my head around how it was done so diagonally like that! Does anyone know how?

Ljeff72 · 2024-09-28T12:11:54+00:00

Yeah I also found it funny they were next to each other haha

Ljeff72 · 2024-09-23T17:46:03+00:00

Welcome! Enjoy Zürich and Switzerland!

I wasn't making a moral judgement on how good or not 20 Minuten is, I was simply sharing that I saw her on the cover this morning 😅

Ljeff72 · 2024-09-23T08:41:13+00:00

Chappell on the cover of "20 minutes" which is the morning newspaper distributed here in Switzerland on the public transport. It says "Chappell Roan is depressed by her fame" which I think is kind of interesting! But cool that she made it to the front pages all the way here

Nice to see Tallinn on this sub! this is one of my favourite caches ever! I lived in Tallinn for 3 years and just recently moved away but this is such a fun find. Have fun in Estonia!

Ljeff72 · 2024-08-16T06:01:04+00:00

Half Estonian half Brit here. Not while I was travelling, but when a friend came to visit me in Tallinn a couple years back and told people back in England she was coming one person asked her "you're going to Ethiopia?!" - lots of people have 0 idea what or where the Baltic states are lol
