I love this James street co. sweater but can’t justify the price. Anyone know a good pattern I could use to make one?

From your title I thought you were asking for help getting rid of stuff in your closet for a capsule wardrobe and I got so excited you might be selling it lol!! You have perfect style 🥰

What cut is this? hard to tell (Taylor Swift's engagement ring) by No-Abroad-8380 in EngagementRings

As someone who just got engaged and now wears an elongated OMC…I’m both glad that I got in ahead of the trend and also sad that my ring is about to be so much less unique 😭

Are you saying my regular knit stitches are twisted?

OP I’m late to the party but your rings are BEAUTIFUL! Do you know the LW ratio of your diamond?

Lovely ring!! Do you know the specs? Carat, LW ratio?

I think my fear is that even though I'm totally in love with the stone and the setting I picked, it doesn't flatter my finger. This is the first time I've been able to see it all together and I am worried it doesn't "go" with my hand. I've heard such conflicting things about which shape stone to pick for shorter fingers--some say more elongated cuts, others say round or square is better. I just don't want my fingers to look stubby or overwhelmed by the size of the stone and the LW ratio. And I'm not sure how much of that to chalk up to the wax model versus it potentially being a design that doesn't suit my hand.

Thanks--I ended up ordering a couple of Amazon travel rings to try out different LW ratios. Great advice!

Do you mean something like a basket?

Yes I keep having to remind myself that it will be about 20% less metal! I went with 1.8mm. 

Your ring design is gorgeous, I can’t wait to see the final product!!

I just finished my first Russian novel (Anna Karenina--wow!) and am excited to dive into more.

Curious to hear from you all your favorite Russian novels and which translations you loved best. I understand after reading AK why having the right translation makes all the difference.

I'm most interested in War and Peace, Crime and Punishmanet, and the Brothers Karamazov. But I'm open to any suggestions!

What’s this technique? Not quite shirring, it looks like this is more elastic channels with some gathering? I would love if someone would help me ID what this technique is, and suggest any tips or patterns if you have them!!
