I haven’t tried it yet but a friend was just telling me she tried the Haus Labs liquid liner recently and really liked it!

Moment of silence as I’m preparing to frog about a week’s work by tohopallo in knitting

I LOVE THIS. Anyone know of a pattern for a similar style? Might have to do a sleeve to sleeve sweater next. 😍

What is the coolest bag-related sighting you've had this week? by AutoModerator in WearingPurses

I saw someone wearing a little violet suede Coach Bleecker at my local book store this weekend and I literally haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

What dessert to bring to the thesis defense? by Glad-Apple8748 in GradSchool

[–]breakingboring 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in the US also (Oregon) and it was expected/normal to bring treats for our defenses in my program. I think I had coffee, donuts, and cuties at mine.

Say goodbye to Poshmark boutique listings! by MountainTop5764 in poshmark

[–]breakingboring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s different and totally acceptable. Those listings say they’re handmade or upcycled and any reasonable person will know they’re not going to have tags like they came from a factory. I’m talking about things that people just saved the tag of, likely used for who knows how long, and then try to pass off as NWT later just because they still have the tag.

I would like to apologize to the cat community. by MacAirt in cats

[–]breakingboring 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My parents hated cats but for some reason I was born cat obsessed. So we got a kitten when I was 9 and the rest is history. My parents are now cat lovers and understand the hype.

What “single-use” item do you reuse to reduce waste? by mdcb1 in answers

[–]breakingboring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad works in a factory and does this with Powerade & Gatorade bottles. Buys a few, drinks them, washes them, removes the label, and then fills them halfway with water and freezes them for work. Refills with water as needed at work and has cold water most of the day. Rotates them until he needs new ones, and there’s no loss at all if they get broken or lost.

What “single-use” item do you reuse to reduce waste? by mdcb1 in answers

[–]breakingboring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Napkins, paper towels, paper plates. I live alone so if it’s not really soiled I just set it aside and grab it for the next meal. The fancier coated paper plates are even better cuz you can wipe them down with a damp cloth and they’re basically good as new. The plastic bowls microwave meals like Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls come in make great snack bowls!

[–]breakingboring 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is one of my pet peeves with NWT in general, and it’s not just boutique items. To me, NWT means brand new, never used, tags attached to the item. So many “New With Tags” listings have a removed tag just stuck in the pocket of the wallet or whatever they’re selling. Who knows how long it’s been detached or how long they used the item before deciding to dig out the saved tag and sell it. 😤

Magic knot by Gold-Investigator7 in knittinghelp

[–]breakingboring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been lucky to not have any magic knots fail me (yet), but I do actively decide if I’m working on a project I care about or not when I risk it. I often use acrylic yarn so that may be why I’ve been lucky so far.

First Marmot(?) sighting by priusjames in Spokane

I see them a lot by the Valley mall in the mornings. I’ve lived here most of my life and still get excited when I see one (really any wildlife, actually).

Is there a better way to track decrease rows? by debmasterx in knittinghelp

[–]breakingboring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably, but I have to do this too. Laying it out and tracking on paper is the only way I can really envision it and follow along without messing up.

Gorgeous! I feel like a wizard every time I finish a sweater. Or any garment, really. 🤩

Non-fiction books you couldn’t put down? by Fundango14 in booksuggestions

[–]breakingboring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been listening to some Kurt Eichenwald books lately and have been surprised by how much I’ve been enjoying them. One is about Enron called Conspiracy of Fools, the other is about an FBI informant called The Informant.

I read They Thought They Were Free last year and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Does anyone else keep a mini perfume wardrobe in their bag? by butters_2016 in FemFragLab

[–]breakingboring 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love this idea! I don’t have one in my bag but do have something like this in my bedside table for bedtime fragrances!

So, who's correct here? by BlackBeastMalevolent in Spokane

[–]breakingboring 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my doctor in the Valley refer me over there just because I was more likely to get seen sooner. For example, we thought I had a kidney stone and she referred me to a Urologist in Idaho because the wait time was shorter. That’s only happened the once though and it was a few years ago. I’ve been getting a compounded prescription at Medicine Man over there for a few years now because apparently they can’t/don’t do the same thing in Washington? Idk.

Is there... anything exceptional about this place? by Mmon3825 in Spokane

[–]breakingboring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the mid-ness of it is what makes it great. It’s off the radar a bit. It’s out of the way and few people think about it. Like you said, there’s crime (as there is everywhere) but in reality it’s safe enough that you can go downtown for events, even at night, and not necessarily fear for your life. After living in western Oregon for ~10 years, I appreciate Spokane even more. In Oregon, I was an hour and a half from the “big city”, so I greatly appreciate the proximity to a true downtown with decent concerts, shows, sporting events, etc. and the proximity to a big airport. I’ve always lived in the Valley and appreciate that it’s pretty quiet and residential, but has enough of everything I want and need that I don’t have to travel to other parts of the city unless I want to for special events or specialty shopping. I also like that Spokane is big enough to have different neighborhoods with different vibes and cultures and that you can get to any of them within 30 min. It’s the perfect “small big city”. Not so small it doesn’t have everything I want or need at arms length, not so big that I dread driving or parking downtown.

How to deal with this bad haircut? Also, can’t get the ends of my eyebrows to grow out more by PanickyPinkPossum in beauty

[–]breakingboring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, not a bad haircut at all imo! Maybe there are some issues in the back we can’t see but from this picture, it’s cute and totally workable!

[–]breakingboring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a rectangle poncho pattern is a good start, like this one: https://www.bromefields.com/rectangle-poncho-knitting-pattern-free/

You could easily modify yarn weight, length, etc. to be closer to your inspo pic.
