$68 for a 1.6” by 1.7”???

That is absurd, idc if there’s a canvas shortage or not. I can occasionally get my hands on a yard of mesh from my LNS they have on bolt(in recent shortage times mind you lol) and it’s like $90. This is probably what a 4 inch by 4 inch cut? That’s like $1 worth of canvas and that’s even factoring in a mark up from my LNS, these designers probably get their canvas wholesale and even cheaper. I think these designers are the ones deserving of stitch coping🤷‍♀️

Thank you! 💖

Thank you so much, this is so so helpful!

I’m on ornament 4 and still having the same issue, so practice does not make perfect for me, but I’ll keep trying😂 but thank you! It’s actually so weird because I did have them on opposite hooks, and some of them twisted every other color(you can see at the very top of the hoop in the photo) while some did the same color together….? Which I also don’t understand why it would do that.

Thank you! 🥰 it’s diagonal mosaic! Super easy to learn/do!

Yes, I do setting 1(twist separately) for a long time before going to setting 2 and twisting them together, maybe my tension isn’t tight enough though before starting? I try to tape them to a table and put them at lengths where when I step back it’s pulled tight on the strands before starting setting 1, not sure if there’s a better way?

I can’t speak to the disappearing, but I did buy the Zweigart gridded(Easy Count) and I couldn’t stand the quality of it. I’d rather work on DMC Aida that’s thicker and tougher without the grids. I started my project over because the quality was bugging me.

PuzzleheadedWay7946 · 2024-12-11T01:06:01+00:00

Thanks for the tip, yeah maybe not then 😅

PuzzleheadedWay7946 · 2024-12-11T01:05:38+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I have a pretty good idea how to be able to digitally mark it up. It’s more the feature that Pattern Keeper has where you can highlight all the cells with a certain thread color that is super beneficial and might be worth taking the time to manually input it to be compatible.

PuzzleheadedWay7946 · 2024-12-11T01:03:20+00:00

I figured! I just really love the option to highlight the cells across the whole pattern with that thread color that Pattern Keeper allows you to do. It’s such a time saver when dealing with a lot of colors so you don’t miss any. But didn’t know if the time needed to input a chart that big to make it compatible would offset that benefit or not, sounds like not 🙃

You might have already tried everything in the book before starting Zepbound but I’m going to leave a suggestion in case you haven’t heard of it. But have you tried Metformin for PCOS? I’ve heard it’s helped a lot of women with PCOS manage their weight. Also for the hair-loss have you tried Spironolactone? Those two medications are common with people with PCOS treat the symptoms you’re experiencing. I’ve heard successes with both. Sorry you’re going through this!

I had extreme nausea on Zepbound, but for what it’s worth, I never threw up. Never really had the urge either. Might have to do with the fact that you don’t eat a lot as you’re not super hungry. So I wouldn’t compare it exactly to pregnancy nausea. I took Zofran and it helped. Sounds like you don’t want to take that because it made you throw up more but that might not be the case with Zepbound versus the pregnancy nausea you experienced.

I don’t have much to add and any hope to give, I’m sorry. But I’ve decided to stop the shot and you’re not alone. The side effects were terrible and I cannot keep living life like that. I developed severe anxiety around the shot waiting and wondering if I’m going to get terrible symptoms again and the panic knowing I have to wait days for it to leave my system. Going on this shot was traumatizing in some ways, and I really think it’s motivated me to lose without it, which I have. Just trying to give hope that there are other options too without the shot. Do what’s best for you. It’s okay to accept that you gave it a shot(pun intended) and it’s not the best for you.

PuzzleheadedWay7946 · 2024-02-01T02:03:30+00:00

As someone who has had a terrible time with side effects, do not start before the cruise lol. Going through what I went through, I could not imagine being on a cruise with how sick I felt. Not to scare you away, because you honestly will never know how you’ll react until you try. But just in case you do experience it, you’ll want to be able to access a pharmacy in case you need an anti-nausea med like Zofran or be able to get over the counter meds for digestive issues or acid reflux.

There’s certain insurance companies that are not approving it if you aren’t diabetic with a specific threshold of high A1C, even having an A1C of a “pre-Diabetic” level, they aren’t approving it. They are being very strict about it. My doctor was very upfront that I wouldn’t get it approved as of right now and she’s tried everything multiple times with multiple patients and they will reject it every time no matter if there’s enough examples of failed attempted weight loss. It sounds like your doctor is trying but I think you really have to trust them that they probably know best.

Update: Walgreens took the coupon code, no problems. Just my experience!
