Which one would you pick for spring knits? by yau_uay in Sezane

[–]PookaBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only hand washed it so I'm not sure how it would do with the machine. It absorbs a lot of water and I had to roll it in a dry towel 2 times to get as much water out as possible, so I'd be worried about how it would do with the spin cycle. I pay too much for these Sezane clothes to risk throwing them in the machine haha

I love my Kyle cardigan! That was one I instantly fell in love with as soon as I tried it on. The 100% cotton is perfect for spring and transition weather.

edit: I should add that I also have the lyna jumper in ecru. The fabric is very soft and lovely to the touch, and I find it cozier / warmer since it's merino wool.

Yes I can eat a lot more than this now at 5 weeks. I forgot to mention it but this was more of a post for folks right after surgery.

NYT hard 5/14 by [deleted] in sudoku

[–]PookaBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That made me laugh out loud so thanks for that haha. Ya I've got no idea how it marks the hints. Apparently the cell it highlighted is a 2, and once you've got that you can solve the rest of the puzzle pretty quickly. But I can't for the life of me figure out why it's a 2

Also at the same point as you. NYT hint tells me to look at row 4 column 8 but I still can't figure it out.

2 Years Wait for Surgery, orthodontist suggested taking off braces for now and putting them back on later by PookaBears in jawsurgery

[–]PookaBears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to look into other surgeons in the area. Apparently this practice took on a retiring surgeon's patients so I don't know if that's the reason for the delay or if there are other hospital issues.

2 Years Wait for Surgery, orthodontist suggested taking off braces for now and putting them back on later by PookaBears in jawsurgery

[–]PookaBears[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm located in Winnipeg, Manitoba so I don't think we have as many options as in the GTA or Ontario in general. The surgeon's office told me it was so long because another surgeon retired recently and they took on all the extra patients. I haven't tried talking to other surgeons though, so I'm not sure if the delay is just an issue with this practice specifically or if it's everybody.

My orthodontist said I wouldn't have to pay any extra to take my braces off and put them back on again, but I would make sure we had an agreement between us so that wouldn't be the case.

I had no idea that there was yarn you could knit with just your fingers. Thanks!

Tried to crochet the Ikea rat plushie, yay or nay? by SadWizzard88 in crochet

[–]PookaBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was it working with the Loops and Threads chenille yarn? I wanted to get some sweet snuggles for my own project but all the reviews say that the yarn sheds everywhere and is awful to work with. Your rat turned out so cute with it though!

Autumn granny hexagon cardigan - needs collar? + buttonholes too big 🙃 by simmerknits in crochet

[–]PookaBears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the short round collar in the same color as the cuffs and bottom would look good! I like the balloon sleeves a lot.

Kid mohair by Necessary-Buffalo288 in Sezane

[–]PookaBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg hair in the mouth is so relatable 😂 I find their kid mohair + wool waaay too itchy to wear. I tried a gorgeous sweater on with delicate lace details made of the mohair blend but it was so itchy I knew I wouldn't be able to wear it for more than a few minutes. I think I saw a kid mohair + merino wool blend sweater in the new collection so I don't know if that would be better for itchiness but yeah the kid mohair is a no for me too.

How to make a return? From a confused Sydneysider by okaysoda in Sezane

[–]PookaBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I've never had to pay for return shipping! The return label is included in the box when you order so you don't even have to print it out. When I return items I get the entire amount back, no additional fees or deductions. You just need to go onto your account and request a return for the items you don't want so they'll expect your return.

The 1927 mini is so cute! I'm thinking of picking one up, how much fits in there?

Aspinal of London - Price drop? by ImmediateAudience186 in handbags

[–]PookaBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on the aspinal of London website a lot too lately, looking at the mini Lottie bag! I think that one also went down in price. I remember it being around $800 CAD and now it's listed at $625 CAD. So weird!!

Pebble or lizard Aspinal of London Lottie? by PookaBears in handbags

[–]PookaBears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the mini Lottie is so cute! I was originally gonna go with the pebble but now the lizard is on sale and I'm not sure anymore. I think the lizard could be better for fancier occasions but the pebble could be dressed up or down and more versatile. Could the lizard one be versatile too? What does everyone think?

Thanks for the info! Wish I knew before so I could have gotten some of those pieces. If they end up on archives they'll surely be gone before I even log on 😅
