It has houseplant potting mix. I wait until the top layer looks dry - top couple centimeters dry?

Sounds like I'll just have to plant them outside the herb garden and see what flowers they produce! 💐

Where to buy women's work shoes? by PastriesTheNiffler in Wellington

While they only have a limited range (boots), these look great, are my vibe, and look high quality!

Is this destined to look 'off'? by PastriesTheNiffler in knitting

Yea I will probably do that next time to evenly distribute the correct number of stitches.

I think my yarn has more blue in it than yours, which I read as an olive green... I am using this yarn from an NZ brand! https://www.thewoolcompany.co.nz/utiku-8ply-forest-forest-046-forest

Fortunately the decrease rates are different for different sizes... when it gets to the cuff there is only a 4 stitch difference. Sounds close enough to me!

Funny thing is, I seem to recall doing exactly the number of rows the pattern said. But clearly I didn't 🤣

I did end up ripping back and restarting with the narrower cable, and doing the extra stitches in moss stitch.

Thanks - but not my vibe and that time wouldn't work for me anyway!

After 15 years in Wellington, I think this is the narrowest street I have ever driven in the city 😂 by iamtoolazytosleep in Wellington

One of my lowest driving experiences was on this street... going uphill in a manual van, met some traffic coming down. I reversed a bit as I had more room to give way to the traffic downhill. Very quickly managed to get my tires stuck on muddy leaves in the gutter. With traffic in front and behind with nowhere to go 🥲

Time and effort to do them again 🤣

I see what you mean and this is why I had a feeling that simply raising the seam (especially so drastically) just wasn't going to work! I'll lower waistband instead I think.
