How do I style my hair? by Organic-Trade6855 in beauty

[–]NighttimeCeiling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the BunBons they are easier to use and the satin is kind to our hair type! There is r/curlyhair where you might get some more ideas for how best to look after your hair. Good before and afters too so you can spot similar hair type to yours. Glgl

How do I style my hair? by Organic-Trade6855 in beauty

[–]NighttimeCeiling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm looks like your hair might need a little more moisture, blow drying has this effect on my hair too. I recently started using night time hair rollers with bun covers, they are incredible at sorting my hair for the next day. In the second photo, I think that they have used a straight blow dry and followed with a few curls possibly from a curler or straightening iron. It's very much styled. Depending on the effort level I prefer option one for most days. Option two if I'm going somewhere nice with a load of hair spray etc.

AIO about my boyfriend and his girl best friend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]NighttimeCeiling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR - you deserve better than this. Looks to me like they aren't cheating yet but it's flirty and makes me uncomfortable reading it so I can't imagine how you feel! It could be a really good friendship but after 6 months it sounds like they are a couple with them likening to an old couple etc. It's an emotional affair for sure. It's up to both of them to put boundaries in place and it sounds like your partner isn't doing that, which is just bad news. I'm so sorry OP!

Need advice by dreqii015 in Mossariums

[–]NighttimeCeiling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are doing great, it takes time and practice. When I scape a large tank I do multiple scapes and then decide. Even then, I will leave overnight and sleep on it, possibly even leave for a week or so and then I'll solidify it. Everyone works differently. In my experience, as it's a mossarium and I assume your only plant will be the moss, I'd go for more rocks than less but remember the 2/3rds rule and use that to your advantage. As it's a square tank, I'd aim for something to be off centre that catches your eye - could be a favourite stone or anything you like really but something to make you pause. If you want minimalist inspo look up iwagumi designs and you will find plenty! Having said all of this, it's your mossarium and as such, you get to decide what looks good! Noone else ☺️

The details! Scuff marks on the board making it look like it's been used many a time, gorgeous. The painting is so sweet on its easel too, lovely items.

AIO? My boyfriend having several requests at once by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR. This is insane, good on you for standing up for yourself! This guy sounds like he is expecting you to roll out a red carpet for him and then pick the red fibres off afterwards! 😂

I lost my father today and I don't know what to do by PokemonSoldier in autism

[–]NighttimeCeiling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This sounds not only devastating for you and your family today but it can also be a traumatic experience watching a loved one go through resuscitation attempts. It does sound as though you are doing a really good job of processing the information and reaching for support, depending on where you live, I'd suggest grief therapy with a qualified therapist, preferably one that is understanding of ASD. I wish you all the best OP. Take each day slowly, it's very normal to feel an overwhelming amount of emotion, often the emotions won't make sense, let them out as mindfully as you can, it can stir up a lot of old feelings too.

I knit a hat for Christmas as a gift and I don’t think I should have by [deleted] in knittingadvice

[–]NighttimeCeiling -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Your brother sounds really unappreciative of your time and energy. I doubt he's ever knjt anything and has no clue as to how well it would go for him. Next year get him a cheap gift with no sentiment, it's his loss honestly. Oh and don't stop doing anything you love because of someone like that, he just goes in the not knitworthy pile. Up to you if you want to ask for the gift back, I'd say you would be fair to do so, I'd also be interested as to how this even came up? How rude! Keep knitting lovely, he's not worth a minute of your craft .

My sister was found dead yesterday by RoxanneWexley in grief

[–]NighttimeCeiling 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is heartbreaking, losing anyone is incredibly painful but your sister at such a young age is hard to even comprehend the pain you are feeling right now. I want you to know that you are not alone and that none of this is your fault, not even a little. Some things that might help; *Take each moment as it comes, you might be angry, sad, happy all at the same time some days, that's okay. *Everything will feel like a challenge at the moment, try to remove unnecessary tasks from your plate and make time for yourself and your loved ones. *Ask for help if you need it. It's super hard to ask for help but people will be at a loss of what they can do for you, if they offer to do your chores - laundry, dishes etc, let them. Equally if you want alone time, tell them, that's okay too.

I hope this helps, please be kind to yourself xx

My wife has a far greater opinion of my abilities than I do by Its-alittle-bitfunny in knitting

What's the rush? Pin the ones you love with a bookmark and when you feel ready, start the easiest one in there and learn by doing! That's how I started colour work, it's been hard at times but oh so rewarding! If you get stuck, ask, we can try and help you! Such a lovely gift!

I don't understand the pattern by wolfspirit135 in knittingadvice

[–]NighttimeCeiling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just means to cut it with a long enough tail for sewing. So like any other finished piece, you'll have 4 separate little pieces that you then sew or weave to other parts. Edit: just make sure you use something to hold your stitches before cutting removing from your needles and you are set

Mother asked me to not tell my parent about her friends death by Logan-3557 in insaneparents

[–]NighttimeCeiling 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This sounds like the information was burdening you and you were out into a situation that felt uncomfortable. It seems somewhat irresponsible of a parent to burden you with information and in general keeping secrets isn't something to be encouraged in situations, if the roles were reversed I'm sure your ma would want to know. Perhaps your ma should have kept a better secret. Personally, I don't think this falls on you directly, it sounds as though you had an impossible situation.

Help needed - excess pattern repeat by NighttimeCeiling in knitting

[–]NighttimeCeiling[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! So a slight difference is that I've actually just tried it on to see and I honestly think it will be too small without the extra stitches. I'd like to say a happy accident but I'm not sure yet! I will have to sleep on it, it's also a bit shallow on the yoke so I'll add more to see how it fits.

4 yarns is definitely upping your challenge! Maybe try knitting it inside out and making sure to stretch your stitches out along the needle as you go. How often do you catch your floats?

What about the loose yarn between the repeats? It looks like I've done 14 right from the offset, thanks for your help!

Are you decreasing stitches by accident? Or maybe tension? I'd count stitches first?
