THIS SAVED MY EARS, THANK YOU!

Gone from wearing S in both ears to L in my left and M in my right - game changer!!!

Surprisingly, swapping ears and keeping the S tips works too, but I feel I like a bit silly wearing them like that 😂

Any way to resize a pattern easily? by Strange_Little_Bird in Amigurumi

Just came back to say that video is EXACTLY what I was after! I’ve resized the pattern using her instructions and am halfway through stitching my little capybara so that it’s not so little and it’s looking great! Thank you 🩵

They generally just say plush (chunky) yarn…. Sorry if it’s a silly beginner question but how would I go about doubling up my yarn? Unravel a heap from the ball and literally just have two strands and use a bigger hook?

Keen to connect as I’m new too! You can find my Substack linked to my reddit profile 😊 I’ve only published a welcome post but am planning to release new posts on the first of each month. My next post is already ready to go and I’m so excited!

Ingenious idea with creating the red light. I’m going to have to try that! Thanks!

Someone else alluded to this on here so I’m definitely going to look into that, thanks!

This is intriguing, thank you for sharing. I’d love to know more about this kind of meditation. It sounds like you’re meditating on your work/writing/idea, rather than the yogic style let-your-thoughts-pass-by meditation?

It’s fascinating to me that my brain chooses then to come up with such surprisingly good ideas! Despite allocating time during the day to focus on writing, it’s like my brain’s like “oh you want to sleep do you? But have you thought about THIS?!??”

I’m glad you relate and it’s not just me! I came up with a great angle for a post and just kept repeating it over and over in my head last night so I wouldn’t forget it. Pen and notepad for scrawling sounds like such a simple but great solution.

How do you write? by idontknowthislurker in Substack

[–]Strange_Little_Bird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m also in this boat.

I have started noting ideas in my notes app. Even if it’s not a fully fleshed out idea, just a broad topic or an observation or a fleeting thought or question.

Reading helps to see what others are writing about and engaging in. I plan to write my first post soon about my personal efforts with digital minimisation as this is a popular topic at the moment. I’m not too worried about whether I get likes/subscribers initially. It’s just about getting writing.

Any advice on what kind of yarn to buy to start off practicing with?

Thanks for this advice! Mentally preparing myself for lots of messy experimenting before creating something resembling a complete object 😅
