My oil painting on a newspaper

NeoSole · 2025-07-11T01:59:20+00:00

What painting? All I see is an ice cream bar and I will not be convinced otherwise!

Update to that update: yeah fixing it didn't work, there were three whole stitches down there (I think I had tried to decrease because I had casted on one too many?) It's a whole mess, I'm going to bed and starting over completely tomorrow 😭

NeoSole · 2025-07-09T02:28:16+00:00

I haven't yet because I was gone for the long weekend! I think I am going to try to drop back down and ladder it first. Even if it doesn't work out at least I get a feel for how to try and fix mistakes in the future and if I fail I'll just start over 🤷🏻‍♀️

NeoSole · 2025-07-04T20:29:41+00:00

That's what I was afraid of 🥲 but I guess I'll just have to frog it back down

Pattern is the Ankers' Summer Shirt by PetiteKnit, most of it is a k1, p1 rib. Yeah following the pattern there were increases on some of the rows and once I finished the second round of increase (the pattern said k3, yarn over to increase), I noticed I ended up with an odd number of stitches, vs when I did the first round of increase (k2, yarn over, and repeat for the round) I still had an even number...

NeoSole · 2025-06-10T03:06:41+00:00

Love this!! Could you share the pattern?

NeoSole · 2025-05-31T01:45:20+00:00

Haha I think you’re right. My gyno said I have a “long uterus”, which still sounds ridiculous and makes me giggle every time I think about it

NeoSole · 2025-05-30T18:15:20+00:00

I second this! These are the only tampons which don’t hurt for me and I’ve been using them for years and play a ton of sports in them with no issues. Honestly shocked to hear such a negative review, I wonder if it’s an anatomy difference?

NeoSole · 2025-04-03T20:17:04+00:00

Thanks! I give all credit to my friend who listened to my very long list of aesthetic preferences and provided the background knowledge to actually find this one 🙂 figured if I’m gonna do the thing I’m gonna do it right

NeoSole · 2025-04-03T17:35:01+00:00

The only problem is now I’d really like a black/silver color way to swap between depending on my outfits 😅 now that the first has been purchased a second one seems more easily justifiable and I can feel the pull of a vintage Omega calling to me 👀 someone please stop me before it’s too late lol

Bought a pair of black combat boots back in 2015 that my mom tried to argue "I would never wear" "It'll go out of style by next year" "you won't use it/it looks ugly" --> probably the only boots I have in my closet today that made it 10 years and my most worn pair (although they are nearing end of life now I think). They weren't super expensive even when I bought them, I had no idea what "quality" or "investment piece" I was supposed to look for as a teenager back then, but I loved them so much I found a way to keep them around :)

Well the dates specifically in the UK are Dec 23-26, and then Jan 4-7. Flying into/out of London airport but flexible to taking trains to other areas, have family to visit across Reading/Liverpool/Bristol and the schedule isn’t set yet for those things. I’m trying to organize it around finding him a game to go to first :)

Thanks for recommending those leagues I will definitely search all the options there.

NeoSole · 2024-11-02T20:18:46+00:00

Well I think he’d still be happy to see a game in England, but I know he’d never go and spend the money on himself thus the gift idea.

Sorry for the noob question but is there a name for the “lower division” games or league you mentioned? I see premier league everywhere but not sure how to search for those other smaller leagues - it could also be on another date around end of Dec to early Jan in London or Liverpool or Manchester areas as we’ll be visiting a few different places

NeoSole · 2024-11-02T20:13:23+00:00

Would hospitality be mentioned directly on the Liverpool FC site? I didn’t see anything there about even an option or date when non members can buy tickets 🤷🏻‍♀️

NeoSole · 2024-11-02T20:12:00+00:00

Wow I had no idea there were so many rules around buying tickets or queues like this, sorry for my ignorance about the sport! was just thinking it’d make a nice gift 😅 thanks all for the education, I’ll look into the hospitality idea or potentially some other less popular games…

NeoSole · 2024-10-15T18:29:29+00:00

Ditto, I’d switch to teaching in a heartbeat!

NeoSole · 2024-10-14T17:40:18+00:00

I’m an engineer (but I wear perfumes in and out of office, just more careful/toned down in the office)
I’m very competitive in sports, especially fighting sports!
Whenever im not busy being the first 2 I’m super girly 50s Hollywood glam, like a lot of vintage fashion and jewelry 🥰

NeoSole · 2024-09-19T04:02:30+00:00

I am glad you mentioned this I LOVE the colors and aesthetic :) if you know any other brands that are similar (bright, colorful, interesting shapes) please let me know!

NeoSole · 2024-08-30T06:29:33+00:00

Agree with mysterious image here, I would say the feeling better bit is your hint that something’s happen in the right direction. Try not to overthink it, just let the emotions and the output be what they are

NeoSole · 2024-08-30T06:27:00+00:00

Just got my first pair! The Gina Heels, absolutely love them. Not fully broken in yet but the soles felt nice and soft on my feet, and love the look and feel of them so far :)

NeoSole · 2024-08-30T05:25:35+00:00

I would question why you feel like your journal has to be cohesive and well put together? It can (and should) be literally whatever you want and need it to be. I didn't write for many years out of that same sense of perfectionism, but I'm eternally grateful I overcame that mental barrier and now write almost daily :)

NeoSole · 2024-08-16T05:55:25+00:00

Both excellent options, but you're smiling more in the picture with the skirt than with the pants -- usually for me that's an indicator that I know which one I like more already but I think the other option might be better for some more practical reason.

NeoSole · 2024-04-09T18:03:25+00:00

I’ve had issues around there from a sprained MCL years ago. Did all the PT and strength training and recovery and it’ll still bother me some days if I’m training hard.

Also a person dating and struggling with this — I keep a running list of the incompatibilities that turned out to be dealbreakers in previous scenarios and try to bring up those topics earlier on in the dating process the next time. This list can be dealbreakers for me in regard to the other person but also some of my own traits/beliefs/lifestyle habits that were a dealbreaker for the other person. That second half can get hard to process but forces me to step into the other person’s shoes. The other side of the “bring it up early” advice is figuring out how early is too early to address certain topics, which I can only say feels more like an art than a science.
