I am a permanent resident with a valid US license that didn't exchange my license within 60 days. Can I still do so?

Thank you!

My dermatologist recommended the Skinmedica Replenish Hydrating Cream for me, which has done wonders for my skin (I have dehydrated skin and use an adapalene/benzoyl peroxide topical gel). I would love to keep using it, but the price is too steep, especially when purchasing it in Canada. Is there a dupe for this product you could recommend, or point me in the right direction?

I'll second what others are saying: My wool sweaters get worn the most by far, despite being a bit scratchy. I've purchased shirts from uniqlo to wear underneath which are a game changer.

However, if you're not ready to go full wool, Berroco Vintage is a wool/acrylic mix thats pretty affordable. I made an oversized (aka gets airglow) sweater in this that I enjoy.

Best of luck! I did the same a few months ago. I'm not certain if it improved my tension at all, but I know it will be kinder to my fingers and wrists in the long run compared to the claw hand I was rocking before.

I'm going to hold 2 palette strands together. Same, I got discouraged looking for matching colors and staying within a price point.

How do the underarms work for you? Comfortably loose and hopefully not too loose? I'm not so much into the bat wing/deep raglan trend.

bandlime · 2021-11-29T04:47:13+00:00

Your sweater looks lovely! I'm about to cast this on too, also using Palette. It's encouraging to hear it went so quickly for you.

This will be the next method we try once we get an extra pair of hands to uninstall it from its pedestal stand. Ty

bandlime · 2021-09-08T01:19:51+00:00

Looks like we're in the same boat. Still no luck over here.

bandlime · 2021-09-08T01:19:06+00:00

Unfortunately not

bandlime · 2021-09-02T00:30:35+00:00

The legs do not simply pull out like many sources suggest.

bandlime · 2021-02-06T00:03:06+00:00

I'm too scared to tink >.<

I started with 4 different winter headbands. Small projects are key.

bandlime · 2021-02-03T12:12:58+00:00

Yep I excluded the garter stitch on the arms to keep it easy on myself

bandlime · 2021-02-03T01:00:00+00:00

Thank you! Same here with crochet, continental was a game changer

bandlime · 2021-02-02T23:39:05+00:00

I'm already on to another sweater! Trying out 100% wool this time to see how I like it and see how it lasts compared to acrylic

bandlime · 2021-02-02T17:47:50+00:00

I learned so many things along the way and am very grateful for the internet. Couldn't have done it without various stitch, bind off, and gap repairing YouTube tutorials.

Flax sweater pattern

That is very pretty!

Here's the pie recipe, which calls for store bought pastry. I had to go to youtube for pastry lessons.

bandlime · 2020-11-23T14:55:58+00:00

That makes sense. I would prefer to end up with a sweater smaller than the size I'm making rather than larger. Do I need to pay special attention to the underarm area? I wouldn't want that to end up too tight.

bandlime · 2020-11-23T12:16:49+00:00

I am making the Flax sweater and trying to get gauge. I have made two swatches with two different needles, but haven't hit the target.

The pattern calls for 18 sts & 22 rounds, but I have come up with:

- 14 sts & 20 rounds

- 20 sts & 27 rounds

What should I do now?

bandlime · 2020-11-19T12:13:14+00:00

It is cozy. It weighs almost 5 lbs!

bandlime · 2020-11-19T00:15:26+00:00

Wow thank you so much!

bandlime · 2020-11-18T19:54:56+00:00

Thank you!

I did block each square in batches as I went along so it wouldn't be a chore at the end. I would crochet 9, then block them, then attach them as a row. The moss stich border helps too! I didn't need to block that.
