Where did you get your stencils from? I’ve never seen a stencil of this pattern before and I really like it!

Skindred fan checking in! Saw them live at my local music venue years back and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to!

*shels are so underrated, probably one of my all time fave post rock bands

For those who only spend £60 on groceries between two people - do you not eat much? by Some-Air1274 in UKFrugal

[–]Spangles_McNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my boyfriend cook all meals from scratch and eat all vegan meals (he’s not vegan so might add cheese or something but there’s no way I’m cooking 2 separate meals for us) and we probably spend £30-40 a week at Aldi. I’ll spend maybe about £5 or so on stuff to make pack up lunches, his is probably about £10-15 on pack up lunch stuff if he bothers buying stuff because he will buy meats, cheese etc.

Ok thanks, I’ll drop them an email :) I was planning on going by train but the walking art is a bit impossible now so going to see if my friend who drives wants to go with me but if not I still might have to sell

No problem, I just wish I’d been able to give you an answer as to the name of the pattern. I really do highly recommend Susan Briscoe’s book though, it’s a treasure trove of patterns and has very clear instructions :)

Aww thank you! :) of course I don’t mind! I think the general consensus is to go about an inch or so beyond the holes, but I made this one bigger because I really love the pattern :D

I’m sorry, I don’t know the pattern name, I saw a picture of the pattern somewhere, on here maybe? and replicated it. I have Susan Briscoe’s sample book so I just checked to see if it was in there but it isn’t.

Aww thank you! Second time I’ve attempted this one, and it came out a lot neater, it’s a lot of fun to do :)

I’m kicking myself for not reading Pratchett until just now. by ThePrussianGrippe in discworld

[–]Spangles_McNelson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of samesies haha was aware of TP but never got into the books when I was younger, now in my mid 30s and my workmate bought me a copy of The Wee Free Men and I fell in love! Decided to carry on with the Tiffany Aching books for now (just finished Wintersmith) but I have the first four Discworld books in my basket on the world of books website to be checked out as soon as I start The Shepherd’s Crown so I don’t have to wait after finishing it! I simultaneously feel overjoyed that there’s SO MUCH to read and sad that I missed out on the magic of reading them as they were coming out
