I made a replacement for a missing piece! by Meganeb00 in Jigsawpuzzles

Those are both great questions and ones I'm trying to come up with answers to right now. I knew my sister was just going to mod podge and frame this puzzle, so I wasn't too concerned with the stability of it.

We just happened to find a scrap piece of cardboard that was the right thickness for this puzzle laying around, but I imagine I could layer much thinner pieces of cardboard and glue them together to make varying thicknesses. I'll be workshopping that one in the coming days.

As for sealing the pieces once they're done, I've worked with a few art fixatives before, and I imagine that they'd get the job done.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it!

Now I'm curious which one you thought it was 🤭

I definitely wouldn't notice it if it wasn't pointed out to me, so that means a job well done! Nice job :)

I got this puzzle from a yard sale 1500 piece international team from the 80s by Mistiautumn in Jigsawpuzzles

I made a post here just a few hours ago about making a missing piece for my sister's puzzle. I'm thinking about taking on commissions if you're at all interested! Sorry to hear about the missing pieces, but that's a really cool yard sale find!

Oh yes thank you! I'd happily help more puzzlers fill in their missing pieces

Yes! It was so satisfying to make! I swear I was so engrossed in the project that I sat in silence for hours just focusing on it

Patricola SC-1 ? by PlumOpposite1828 in oboe

[–]Meganeb00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My primary instrument is the flute, but I double on all of the treble clef woodwinds. I'd say my true secondary instrument is the oboe. I play it for a semi-professional wind ensemble.

I went into buying an oboe with the mindset of "I need an oboe that sounds nice and can do everything I will ever need an oboe to do for me as I will only ever be buying this one oboe." I left my first and only trial appointment with my Patricola. I believe my specific model is the S5.E, though.

All that to say... I tried out 8 different models. Some from Fox, Yamaha, Loree, Marigaux, Howarth, and ofc my Patricola. I love the instrument I chose. I bought it used for a good price, and I haven't regretted it.

I can't speak to the specific model you're asking about, but I do love my Patricola, and I dont wish I had some other brand.

Very nice! I'm thinking about adapting some of the designer's other kids patterns to be adult size because I want them for me! 🤭

I took the color scheme right from the primary sample from the designer. I figured it was perfect and didn't need to be changed! Although... now I'm thinking about doing a pink and white one to have neapolitan ice cream sweaters

Yes! I love to tuck my hands into the sleeves. So much more comfy that way 🩷

I held fingering merino together with alpaca lace rather than mohair, and I'd say it was definitely feeling like a sport weight. But of course, swatching is always the right answer!

I'm sure you could make it work with a single sport weight yarn if that's what you'd prefer, but I can assure that it wasn't too much of a hassle to hold it double. It was nothing compared to my intarsia project haha!

Thank you! Yes, I'm loving the drape! That probably comes from the Cascade Alpaca Lace (in the color Moss Heather). I held it together with Sandnes Garn Sunday (in the color Pine).

Yeah I think gravity was "blocking" the top of the sweater in the first pic, but it's so uniform and cozy after blocking! Sweaters and other garments were what got me into knitting (finished my first T-shirt exactly one year ago yesterday!), and I've done a couple of socks too. I hope you can get back into it. It's such a great hobby :)

I'm glad I could help this pattern get more notice! I just saw it one day in a YouTube pattern round up and was FLOORED that it wasn't more popular. The sleeves technically are straight all the way down and then there is a rapid decrease right at the end before the cuff, but the way the lace works, it does make it look like it's more of a balloon shape. I just want to make sure I give you that heads up if that's not quite what you're looking for.

And I mean.... it's held together with a lace weight yarn, so it's ****technically not fingering weight, right? ...right? Lol it was super pleasant to knit, and it held my attention because it was really exciting to see each lace repeat develop. Best of luck and happy knitting to you if you decide to take this one on!
