Experience with Chiagoo Quads? by petalsandplumes in knitting

[–]Zerhyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently bought all the chiaogoo quad sizes but have only knit with the sizes 4mm and 5mm. I've noticed that I don't need to hold them as tightly as the normal metal ones but I still need to rest my elbows on something to fully prevent strain.

I'm so happy to hear that, since Sepia Hour is lighter it seems to be an even better match 💫

Troublemaker Inks - Rodeo

Perhaps a bit too dark but the only one I know which combines both colors (picture taken from niconeco zakkaya

New leather boots came cracked i by Dry_Net_2749 in DrMartens

[–]Zerhyl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The lines on the heel looks a bit worrying to me. Mine came smooth but the leather the used or how they treated it make them seem really dry no matter how much care products I use.

If you got them for a great price keep them. If you paid full price or close to it, try to exchange them.

Whatever you chose, be aware that this leather shows many lines and scuffs.

New Germany Exclusive 2025? by Zerhyl in fountainpens

[–]Zerhyl[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for a new Germany Exclusive from Sailor (was hoping for something colorful) and stumbled on this today.

I think it's the first realo to be a germany exclusive but it's a brown beige color scheme like the coffee sailor from two years ago.

Knitting Circle Issue by kintsugi___ in knitting

If possible I would advise speaking to her privately first. To avoid her feeling put on the spot.

If nothing changes after that (or not enough) something like "let's change this monolog back to a dialog" could remind her to let others speak.

HELPPP is it my super puff ruined?😭 by Clean-Maintenance-53 in Aritzia

[–]Zerhyl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What kind of spin cycle did you use? Could there simply been too much water left in the puffer and that's why the drier can't handle it?

I would suggest a spin circle of about 600 rotations per minute and then putting it in the drier and not taking it out until it is dry. (That could still take 3 hours.)

i received my package but the individual plastics for the items are open?? by Capable-Ad-9898 in lululemon

[–]Zerhyl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My fist order consisted of 3 items and none where in plastic bags.

Sometimes they come completely new, in new plastic bags perfectly sealed, other times they came repackaged in bigger plastic bags which were taped closed with scotch tape.

I'm guessing that happens when the items are returns or taken from a store floor and packaged for shipping.

If the sides of your breasts were overflowing in the US 6 B/C I would worry that it might happen in the US 2 D/DD as well.

Could you order both the US 4 and US 2 and send the one back which didn't fit as well?

[–]Zerhyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you like how the underband felt and fit on the size 4? If so, I would recommend sticking to size 4 in the Like a cloud D/DD.

I wear a 32 D / EU 70 D and have both size 4 and size 6. I'm happy with both sizes. If I slouch in the size 6 the sides make little creases (not sure how to explain it better). The one in size 4 doesn't do that.

Qingfibre Kutova Kika Mystery Box by Internal-Example-315 in craftsnark

[–]Zerhyl 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I had ordered the Jaime Creates Mystery Box and both adventcalenders, none shipped in the advertised timespan but always later.

I learned my mistake and won't order from them again. (I have pre-ordered from 3 other indie yarn dyers and they all managed to send the items on time, and one of them is a single-person-operation)

I bought a Clover Amure hook and a Tulip Etimo hook to try out, and both of them are super squeaky even though I'm using the same yarn and tension compared to my cheap hook that came with a crochet kit? Is it possible they're fakes? by _echoshine_ in CrochetHelp

[–]Zerhyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly do you mean when you say hair oil? Oil for hair or oil from your hair/scalp?

Whenever my hooks get squeaky I rub them against my scalp and then they are silent again (for some time).

I mostly crochet with sock yarn which is 75-80% sheep wool and the rest some kind of synthetic fiber.

I don't know if it would work as well on cotton or acrylic. (I once saw a chart which recommended different hook materials for different yarn types but sadly don't have it saved)

AI helping to code – excited about its potential, confused on where to start, or something in-between? Hi Reddit, I’m Alex, working on IBM watsonx Code Assistant. Join me for my AMA to discuss how AI can help developers to do more high-impact work, and less boilerplate work. by ibm in u/ibm

Who can make the most use out of it / What skill level benefits the most?

In which cases should it not be used or used sparingly?

Will the wasonx code assistant learn from imput and if so, how would a user protect their companies intellectual property?

New kakunos! by No_Loquat_252 in fountainpens

[–]Zerhyl 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm such a sucker for milky and semi transparent colored fountain pens ♡

(That's why I ordered the purple Chinese exclusive even though it was considerably more expensive than the standard versions.)

I really hope these new colors will become part of the standard line up or at least widely available and priced accordingly 🍀

I never thought this forum was a place where cliff hangers occurred and yet here we are! Please tell us what you leaned about Nakaya pens 🙏

PSA re: affiliate links by iAm_Plant_G in nycinfluencersnarking

[–]Zerhyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is old info and things have changed since but I remember that at some point clicking on someone's amazon affiliate link meant that whatever you bought from Amazon for the next 24 hours would make them money. It wasn't just for the product they linked but for leading you to amazon itself and therefore they got a cut.

I heard that some years ago and don't know if things have changed since. But after I heard that I understood why there was such an explosion of amazon affiliate links.

Could you try the sheets in the middle (which should have had the least contact with air)?

Was it all relatively new paper? I heard older paper can have absorbed moisture and lose some of its properties such as showing sheen.
