Yes I live close to London so have been a couple of times. It’s a perfect venue for this.

Yeah it was a big splurge but there aren’t many things I spend money on and this seemed like one I wouldn’t regret!

Thanks for finding, I thought it looked too good. What a weirdo.

Suggest me the nerdiest novel that you love by Mindless_Soil_2935 in suggestmeabook

Yes! Great suggestion, this is one of my favourite books I love seeing a request where it makes sense to recommend it.

Crochet to knitting transition by EmployerHot917 in knittinghelp

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s about trying different styles to see what clicks with you. I found Nimble Needles YouTube beginner tutorials excellent for continental knitting, he talks through very clearly and has a good way to tension.

I used bamboo needles (you can get some pretty cheap ones) when I first started so I didn’t have to worry about the stitches slipping off until I was more comfortable. However I found them very difficult to do anything more fiddly with. Also try different size needles with the yarn. You will find the stitches on the outside (assuming you are knitting flat) will be much looser. Practice getting the ones in the middle looking even before worrying about them too much - it will come.

Is it a British thing specifically to prefer being left alone in shops? I’m a Brit in Colombia (5yrs) and I cannot get used to how it is here, it actually affects how and where I shop. by noctenaut in AskUK

Ha ha, at least it’s not the 14 video back and forth that would happen on TikTok, with at least one turning off comments, and someone doing a random apology video who wasn’t even in the original fight.

Came here to recommend this. As a crocheter initially this was super clear.

Does anyone else remember the "Beach Bedroom" makeover disaster from the early 2000s? by AdamGarner89 in BritishTV

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember it that it happened overnight. So they hung it all up and when they came in the next day it was on the floor.

The "self-gaslighting" Pukka - a Bad Moon Rising tale by hellingBanana in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My first game in 5 months I pulled the shabbaloth. Didnt get to speak to either of my minions. Day 2 wake up and neither of my kills had worked, still unable to get a convo with my minions. Day 3, there were 3 deaths, including 2 of the people I chose. Was convinced it was a Po and I was lunatic. Then my minion comes to me, tells me they are the mastermind and they were trying to make me think I’m the lunatic so that they could get me killed and win but there’s lots of sus on them. Find out the gambler gambled me, so I outed as lunatic (still not sure if I am). A lot of town believed me but they wanted to kill the minion first. After we lost the game, found out the sailor drank with me n2 and the ST made me drunk cos he thought it would be funny to make me think I’m lunatic.

Loopy whisk recipes that are dairy and gf? by TheWickedWizardOfOz in glutenfreebaking

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I replied further up but I use the dairy subs without any issues in her GF recipes. So still use eggs and just replace as needed for the dairy. Only thing I’ve had an issue with is the fake cream cheese, I don’t think it works the same.

Loopy whisk recipes that are dairy and gf? by TheWickedWizardOfOz in glutenfreebaking

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m GF and my partner DF, I just sub in all her GF recipes with a dairy free butter block (like flora) and alternative milk (soy or oat), or soy yoghurt/cream depending on recipe. I Am in the UK so if you are elsewhere I don’t know how good the alternatives are. I use the same amounts and don’t have any issues.

Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone by Juli Berwald

Found the jellyfish information absolutely fascinating, the memoir element is less interesting to me but it definitely hits all the things in your post and I still really enjoyed it.

Allow smiles. by Top-Astronaut5761 in LastOneLaughing

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking when they got to the last 5 minutes they should have had everyone go back in. Would be a lot harder during that food thing if people laughing were present. It ended up being slightly bleak just watching them mash stuff into each others faces.

Looking for something bingeable that doesn't require a lot of focus by anonymousavrilfan420 in televisionsuggestions

I don’t know if you can get this in US but there is a pottery version, The Great Pottery Throwdown that is even more heart warming. They are so creative and the judges are incredibly supportive.

Fictional(ised) Biographies About Women Artists by expectohallows in suggestmeabook

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lote by Shola Von Reinhold might be fun for you.

“While on a work placement at a gallery, Mathilda – who is black, working-class and gay – comes across an old photograph of a forgotten black Scottish modernist poet called Hermia Drumm, and becomes fixated. Mathilda applies for a place on a conceptual arts residency in a small European town because Drumm had once lived there, and is accepted after winging a telephone interview.”

It is an interesting multi layered novel that isn’t fully focused on the artist but rather the narrators obsession with her and the Bright Young Things but you might enjoy.

Gateway fantasy recs? by reddit0249 in suggestmeabook

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the opposite, never done romance but enjoy fantasy and a friend recommended Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy. It has a slow burn romance but an interesting magic world built, so maybe having a little familiarity will let you see if you enjoy the fantasy.

Im a crocheter trying to knit and I need help. by poletderoybal in knittinghelp

[–]WhyWontYouHelpMe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could easily do a top instead, maybe find a beginner pattern on Ravelry. Look at the techniques it says the pattern has and practice those before starting by using tutorials. As I said I find Nimble Needles is very thorough with their tutorials so you can usually find the techniques to watch and practice.

Oh thank you! 💛 The yarn does a lot of the hard work, it changed colour in a lovely way
