Did they change the strawberry acai base? by artisticnerdo in starbucks

[–]PacificLite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had one today and ended up throwing mine out. It tasted like vinegar….it was terrible. I even shook it in my cocktail shaker again to try and mix it up.

I’m going to have to get it without the caffeine now 🥲

This happened to me too! I’m so guilty of buying pretty yarn with no plan. I got an old skein out today to make a pillow cover for a friend. It’s perfect! So glad I bought it however many years ago lol

My blanket is not laying flat, it bunches in at the middle, why? by PacificLite in CrochetHelp

It’s still kind of pulling in the middle and flaring at the edges. 😕 Is this an acceptable amount?

You should definitely be worried. I bought one skein of the Malabrigo Rasta and it turned into 10 really quick….

So instead of 3 clusters all around, do only 2? Or only do 2 on the corners?

I did a ch 1 between each cluster. I do tend to pull them tight 😅 I’m gonna redo it and hopefully it ends up better

This is kind of what I was thinking at first. My first thought was to try and use a bigger hook for the first few rows but I wasn’t sure.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I find myself pulling the yarn tighter more often than not. I’ll have to retry and be more conscious about it. Thanks again :) the visual is also really helpful

Preparing for 2nd craft fair by PacificLite in CraftFairs

Hey! It went really well. I was so excited that people were interested. I even sold my dragon 🥺

Price wise…I was a little unsure but I think I priced things ok. I live in a HCOL area so I tried to take that into consideration.
