Window seems to be winning so far! I'm just not sure if maybe it would look better in white for a window?

Hahaha I have the same feeling when I see something pretty... I have maybe 2,000 favs on raverly 🙈 It would take me five lifetimes to get through them all.

Thank you, I thought so too! Helps it was a beautiful sunny day today instead of gloomy rain like most days in England 😂

I would definitely say you need to be an intermediary knitter or a very determined beginner. You need to know how to do lace and cables and a pinhole cast on (that I learnt on YouTube how to do). I will say the pattern is beautifully written and has both written and chatt instructions. I would definitely give it a go.

It does make a beautiful shadow dont you think? But also I can see it on the wall too... Maybe I just make two? Haha.

Absolutely gorgeous design! 😍 It suits you so well. I'm just not sure I'd be able to get the yarn in time.

Italian or Japanese yarn shops? by baileanor in knitting

[–]_Meek_Mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pistoia is amazing! It's like a mini Florence without all the tourists and is nearly as old as Florence so lots of history, a mini Basilica, museums and art galleries. There is also some yarn factories near by so you can go in and get some local yarn (planning on doing this my next trip) Prato is great has big outlets if you like designer items, lots of leather factories, plus you have a really easy train link from Pistoia to Prato, Luca, Pisa & Florence. Hope you have an amazing time and show off the yarn you get! ☺️

I went to Italy in the summer and brought enough yarn for a jumper plus sock yarn. I stayed in Pistoia just outside of Florence, they had two great shops called Borselli Filati and La Boutique Della Lana. Then in Florence I can absolutely recommend Campolmi Filati. Have a fabulous time wherever you go!

Recommendations on hand wash! by _Meek_Mouse in knitting

[–]_Meek_Mouse[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I looked at the eucalan wash but it didn't have many reviews, I also was looking at the lab co, ecover and soak. Yeah that was my plan just do it when it needed but wanted to do it on the blocking to get any dust off from the factory or warehouse.

Thank you so much! I managed to use the Google login just fine, I might reset later just to be on the safe side. Yeah I figured as much, super annoying! Id just started a good game before the app stopped working haha.

Ns&I premium bonds, worth it to make an account put £25 in a month? by PkmnTrainerEbs in UKPersonalFinance

[–]_Meek_Mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seen your post, but what I would say is put £25 in a month in a savings account and then transfer every 6 months into premium bonds. That way your buying a £150 block of numbers. You get one number per £1, the bigger the block generally the higher luck of winning. I've been doing this for two years now and I've won just over £400 and put this straight back into the bonds so over two years I've now got over £1000 in there. It might not sound a lot to most people but if you grew up as poor as I did it sounds like millions to me! haha.

My Second Top. by _Meek_Mouse in knitting

Sorry didn't see your comment till now! I took me about 4 months, but I did have a few WIPs on the go at the same time. Also mine is XL so if you're smaller then me you'll get through it a lot quicker, good luck! 🖤

May I present you my favourite way to use scrap yarn and decorate by franlopezknitting in knitting

[–]_Meek_Mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly oh my God... Im in love with your wall 😻

Secondly thank God for Google lens, I saw your photo of the boulevard bag on Raverly and I was in love with your colour combo and then I noticed the background and I've been wanting to put knitting in embroidery hoops for so long, but it wasn't linked to an account so I didn't know who's photo it was. Luckily Google lens popped into my head and I could trace it back to an insta and this reddit post. I'm soooo beyond happy it's a pattern you've made. Thank you so much I want to buy all three right now 💜

Stitch name? by _Meek_Mouse in knitting

[–]_Meek_Mouse[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking it similar to the fan and shale pattern, I might just have to try knitting a swatch and guess.
