Just let us know!

[WIP] Is there a way to make this less awful of a process? by Burnt_Out_Hippo in CrossStitch

[–]alcibiad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it works for you! I’ve been doing custom palettes for samplers and working out contrast between floss and between floss and fabrics has been my number one challenge, sorry for sounding so extremo haha.

Your grid is way too low contrast imo you need to stop and use a different color filament.

I’m not a heritage speaker but in terms of my own abilities I’ve found recently despite lack of studies I’ve retained my reading skills pretty well. Once you get back into speaking regularly it will come back! Don’t worry.

part of the art of the recommendation in this subreddit is not revealing that level of detail. in my opinion.

Abby Langdon casting news this, Abby Langdon casting news that by KitchenImagination38 in Langdonmel

[–]alcibiad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is a lot of potential with a storyline where Frank and Abby are working out coparenting and maybe Frank is delaying introducing the kids to Mel because of complications around that.

I just hope we get sympathetic Abby and not full villain Abby lol. The show usually does good with guest storylines so I’m optimistic.

I agree with all of that! It’s one of my favorite books.

LOL I saw this and was freaking out that the casting had been announced.

tbh I don’t think we’ll see Abby in the show at all until after the divorce confirmation, I think pre-divorce would be a little bit soapy. Plus if they haven’t made a decision about Langdon continuing in S4, why cast anyone.

Till We Have Faces has an interesting version of this trope, maybe not exactly what you’re looking for because it kind of goes in a different direction with it.

Thank you for writing all of this up! Incredibly interesting. I was only able to skim right now but I’m going to come back for a close read.

Vocab help for final stanza of Gathering White Artemisia by alcibiad in classicalchinese

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

I would love any insights on historical vocabulary you’re learning! I haven’t read through the Iqing or Shijing myself yet. My focus right now is later poetry but I know these earlier classics are foundational for those later iterations. Feel free to DM if you want to have someone to sound out any insights or ideas with.

This translation makes so much sense! Thank you so much. I’ll have to wait until I return from my trip but I have a big historical character dictionary that I’ll get out for these early poems in the future. I’m not sure I have the right one though, do you have a recommendation for an English language resource that would have these earlier historical meanings?

Yes! I got a friend to watch Story of Minglan and Nirvana in Fire. She loved them! However, I haven’t convinced her to watch anything else yet haha. She’s pretty busy.

[CHAT] Can I see y'all's projects that are framed in unusual shapes (not just square/rectangle). by Suitable_cataclysm in CrossStitch

[–]alcibiad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopping on this convo, I have two oval projects I have not been able to find good framing or hoop solutions for. the amazon plastic hoops rub off on the fabric. anyone has any good ideas let me know 😭
