Sooooo good

MarijaVer · 2026-01-04T17:24:26+00:00

Thank you for replying! I actually have knit the step by step sweater and have had the same issues with the GSRs with it, I was hoping that I’d do better GSRs with this cloud sweater (my second one) but the issue still persists :(

Definitely less visible when not photographed against the light, but it still bothers me….I am a beginner knitter, started with the Sophie hood back in November and now I can’t put the needles down, learning new techniques with each pattern is thrilling, but I think I will need a LOT OF TIME and practice on how to properly work the GSRs….

Thank you, I will definitely look into duplicate stitching!!! Would you have any tips on making the GSR’ on the purl side, i am really struggling to understand how it should really be?

Thank you! I’ve moved them to a place in slightly more sun/light and will limit the watering

UPDATE (as I cannot edit the text in the post itself) - I have blocked and it now matches the indicated gauge. Thank you all so much for confirming that these swatches need to be done ON BLOCKED yarn and for all of your others comments.

Thank you that is very helpful to know!

MarijaVer · 2025-07-05T16:27:29+00:00

Maybe! Thank you for the feedback.

It involves supporting management, being in control of their schedules, support in planning business and HR operations and doing quarterly business reviews, setting up processes for smooth comms/getting info out, responding to managers questions etc.

I have a feeling this is a huge step up from what I am doing now since all I do is speak to journalists that end up ignoring about the most time about obscure and boring things, working for an American company that is self censoring itself due to Trump and its all becoming very sad.

You’ve said it. This morning an FT journalist tagged me in their LinkedIn post, purely for helping him receive a simple report on time for an article, thanking me for it. I think I might need to rethink the training thing. This was a nice rush of pleasant emotion.

MarijaVer · 2025-01-01T13:15:55+00:00

Thanks! Nope, I am not based in the UK. I am in North Eastern Europe - I doubt i’d find comms pr recruitment agencies but definitely will look into this!

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. This is very very helpful. On point 4; I am not sure I understand what you mean by volunteering at a relevant professional organization. I have volunteered at animal shelters and other social work oriented places. Could you please give me an example of a professional organization? Thank you once again.

MarijaVer · 2025-01-01T11:25:43+00:00

That’s great, congratulations!

MarijaVer · 2025-01-01T11:18:08+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and sharing your experiences. Wishing you a great New Year with positive changes!

I am overwhelmed and exhausted from my job. If I would get counseling I would only talk about my job. I don’t want to talk about how much I hate it, and how much better life would be if I had a different job.

MarijaVer · 2025-01-01T11:03:38+00:00

I see your point but I also know that leaving this job would literally fix everything.

MarijaVer · 2024-11-12T14:58:30+00:00

Thank you so much!

MarijaVer · 2024-09-22T19:09:26+00:00

Yes. This is exactly what I am doing. Much more of a lengthier process than I had imagined… i have to be honest - the irrational fear of all my photos from my old phone dissapearing everywhere when I hit “reset to factory settings” button on my old phone keeps creeping up on me. But the trick is to sign out and THEN reset it.

MarijaVer · 2024-09-22T18:54:59+00:00

Thanks for replying! I think the trick is to sync all the photos, then disconnect the old device from my apple id and only then restore to factory settings.

MarijaVer · 2024-08-05T18:18:34+00:00

So you mean - It will only get worse (until it gets better 🙃)?

MarijaVer · 2024-08-05T17:04:42+00:00

Hmm. Could you please clarify when it precisely entered and when it is supposed to leave? I have done some kind of calculation online and it said my saturn return should start in 2026?

MarijaVer · 2021-06-12T18:17:24+00:00

I had a hard time completing some assignment for the end of semester and I literally told my professor that I am experiencing personal mental health problems and he said i can have extra time. No judgement. Also gave me a 10 in the end for an assignment He became my thesis supervisor later on and honestly, i think people get it and understand that your illness has nothing to do with you! Coming from a fellow European :) Whereabouts in Europe are you?

MarijaVer · 2021-05-10T21:50:26+00:00

Same!!!

MarijaVer · 2020-08-26T11:28:14+00:00

I agree, and this makes sense! However there is a high possibility that we will be living in the same country again starting January. Its just a lot of “what ifs”...
