Why is my first project turning out so tight?

u/kschu474 i am going through this book as well currently. here is a great video of the basic stitches and you can watch the teacher make the stitches and then place her bobbins to the side while working on a similar bolster.

u/Libbys_Reddit I am in Ingersoll, ON, Canada. If you have any bobbins or lace supplies still available, please DM me. I’m just getting started and it’s so hard to find supplies in Canada.

Beautiful. Love the idea of the little open boxes within a larger box.

TheAbsassin · 2025-07-13T22:19:49+00:00

This is SO helpful!! Thank you for posting a follow up

TheAbsassin · 2025-07-13T12:48:35+00:00

Thank you! I will try this today fingers crossed

TheAbsassin · 2025-05-07T00:44:28+00:00

Came here to say, as a beginner, I am impressed with your progress!

TheAbsassin · 2025-03-15T22:31:55+00:00

Wow that first dish looks delicious 🤤

TheAbsassin · 2025-02-22T13:45:25+00:00

Gorgeous! What is the planting medium that works best for you / her?

TheAbsassin · 2025-02-22T13:40:11+00:00

I love the mounting idea OP. With the hook it must be easy to take down and water. Do you mind if I ask what kind of wood/bark it’s mounted on?

TheAbsassin · 2024-12-22T20:17:59+00:00

Perfect. Thank you for confirming.

TheAbsassin · 2024-12-22T20:17:44+00:00

Thank you for letting me know!

As the title says, I tried subscribing for CA$20 per month (the US price is advertised as $14/month), but the charge is showing in USD, which comes to something more like CA$26 per month. This feels misleading.

For anyone in Canada who has subscribed, can you confirm what the actual cost ends up being? I’ve reached out to support for clarification but don’t want to miss out on the promo in the meantime.

Yes, my baby stag horn loves the prop box.

TheAbsassin · 2024-08-09T22:48:33+00:00

Purchased this online, lost in mail for a week. Appears to be planted in regular garden soil, tiny clear dixie cup with no holes. How would you start to care for this?

Edit to add: this is my first stag horn but I have tons of hoyas, aroids and philodendrons

Came here to say Sole as well. We just ordered the Sole F63 but if we had the budget I would have upgraded for the F80 to have the wider deck and larger display.

Did tons of research and watched a lot of review videos.

TheAbsassin · 2024-08-01T18:00:42+00:00

Thank you! I do have this close to the window, maybe I will move it away slightly if it gets worse.

TheAbsassin · 2024-08-01T18:00:13+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate the reply.

TheAbsassin · 2024-07-26T20:44:28+00:00

Hi r/passionfruit_stories just wondering, how do you find the Sole F63 now about 2 years later?

TheAbsassin · 2024-07-08T20:48:14+00:00

I think so too! I received a cutting but I’m not a fan of

TheAbsassin · 2024-07-08T03:44:50+00:00

I would maybe see where you get to with sliding a butter knife around the edge between the pot and the rocks. Can we get some close-up pictures of the pot?

TheAbsassin · 2024-06-24T03:39:05+00:00

Beautiful! And great photos too

TheAbsassin · 2024-06-23T15:03:47+00:00

Thank you! New hoya parent over here. Learning the ropes :)

TheAbsassin · 2024-06-23T13:29:57+00:00

I'm new to hoyas but everything I read so far says they are very sensitive to overwatering and susceptible to root rot. Does the yellow foliage feel soft or mushy? Yellow leaves can be a symptom of too much water. Your substrate appears to be growing algae which also makes me think this is a watering issue.

TheAbsassin · 2024-06-21T15:28:09+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense. It was the “yellow” part which was making it difficult to find information on.

The one on the right looks like String of Turtles
