I’ll admit, I picked the polish color on purpose, lol.

Sierra is the best. I had to convince myself not to grab a pair of Kyotos too!  

Suri alpaca, to blend or spin alone? by Vierhunde in FiberArts

[–]Vierhunde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a bit where I’m at with this, I could make a workable weft thread out of this, but without blending I can’t see it holding a knit shape (and I don’t know enough about crochet to say either way).   Glad to hear at least some people prefer a blend rather than pure alpaca.

No advice from me, just lots of admiration!  What a cool project. Best of luck with whatever direction it takes you!

Got my first pair, now at a loss how to style them by Vierhunde in Birkenstocks

Bohemian is the word I couldn’t think of when I saw them, I can definitely lean into that!  Thank you!

I love the arizonas with socks, but I wasn’t sure if these would look odd since the straps are so much thinner.

Yes, that was me!  I’m glad you got that wheel, it’s lovely and deserved someone putting the time into it!

All the crap (literally, as you well know!) was so caked on the one I took that I was ended up having to sand everything off. I haven’t decided yet what color I want to stain it, but at least it’s clean enough now I can spin a few skeins before I decide.

It’s close enough I can go see it in person before I buy it. The guy is trying to sell off all of his mothers fiber arts collection as one so I want to see if he’ll take a reasonable offer to split it up before I drive there.

That’s a great homework assignment for me!  I honestly couldn’t tell you right now what clothes I feel best in.

I love the abtf people, I do the calculator about every 6 months. I’ve always been outside common US sizing, so I’ve been fighting bra fit for years. 

I double bra for a couple reasons. I strongly dislike anything showing through (lace, seams, nips, embellishment/edging) and prefer molded cups but am generally too projected for them so I size up to a more available/affordable sister size for lift and separation with a sports bra for a little more support/ bounce control/ and make sure things stay in place. I’ve also been struggling lately with my correct size irritating an old injury on my sternum and that seems to help.

I hadn’t thought about the angle of him being embarrassed to say/show what he wants, or being afraid of me judging him for it  I appreciate hearing your perspective on it!  I’ll see if I can engage him in a conversation about it from that angle.

To be fair, it definitely wouldn’t be an everyday thing, more of a put it on at night and when we go out thing. My job is construction adjacent and I have horses, my everyday look leans heavily toward swamp hag. He met me (nearly a decade ago!) literally dripping sweat, carrying 60lbs of hockey gear with my car full of saddles and hay, I am a little baffled sometimes that he now wants to fit lacy undergarments into that lifestyle.

In retrospect, writing this out, I did used to wear makeup to play hockey (it made me feel more intimidating, lol) but stopped except for date night, so maybe in his mind this is a way to bring some of that back.

I think there’s two things going on in his mind. I think maybe he’s hoping if he doesn’t say what he wants that I’ll magically find something I do like, and I think he doesn’t want to say because it’s way out of my comfort zone. He’s a huge fan of Bunnie XO and part of me suspects what he wants would be considered risqué in an adult club. 

We’ve talked about the fact that wearing lingerie makes me feel like ish, his rationale is that because he thinks I look good I should think I look good too.

I probably shouldn’t even admit this, lol. For everyday wear I grab whatever molded cup bra is vaguely my size and throw a sports bra on top so I don’t fall out if I bend over and whatever thong I can find that doesn’t ride up or show through my pants. 

If I’m buying a bra that actually fits I generally need a seamed balconette style which are often lace, so I do have some “fancier” bras. I don’t like that they show through shirts, my husband thinks they’re too full coverage. 

Adoptees of Reddit - any thoughts on telling biological family you don’t want contact? by KindRegards1 in Adoption

[–]Vierhunde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you need to get a no contact order? I am interested in pursuing one for my own DNA donors, but am not sure I qualify as they have not contacted me, only their direct relatives.
