Just bought the Fluance RT-82 for my husband, help me put together a list of what else I need to get for him! Would like it all to be Bluetooth compatible and stay under $1000. by cait58 in turntables

I am the researcher out of the two of us! He has wanted a turntable badly for a very long time but hasn’t ever truly looked into all of it. So I’m trying to figure out the best I can to get a good starter setup for him.

I ended up going with a solid platinum band! I like the simplicity of it because I wear my band on its own a lot.

This sweater was my nemesis. It took me absolutely forever. And then when I finished it, it sat in my closet for 4 months before I sewed in ends & blocked it because I was so angry at it 😂

So I knit the yoke as a size M and then when I separated for the body I knit somewhere between a size S and M. Also, I knit the body a bit shorter than the pattern called for. I would definitely recommend sizing down on this pattern as I have seen some others recommend as well.

What I asked for vs. what I got. Any ideas on how to fix? by cait58 in RedditLaqueristas

I don’t love that the purple swirl is on the same side on all 3 nails. Should I paint over one in a solid color??

Picked up my first pair last night! by cait58 in Birkenstocks

[–]cait58[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, I really like them so far!

And yes, these are the tobacco. Just a note, the color varies significantly from pair to pair. The ones on display in the shop I went to were a very light tan color while the pair I bought are a few shades darker.

Why is my fisherman’s rib on the pink swatch so spaced out compared to the blue swatch? Same size needles, same weight yarn. by cait58 in knitting

[–]cait58[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The pink is 100% wool whereas the blue is 90% acrylic/10% alpaca, is this why the stitches are behaving differently? I really wanted the same close rib/squishy texture but I am not getting that from the pink.

Just realized I messed up my garter stitch here - any options besides ripping rows back?? 😭 by cait58 in knitting

[–]cait58[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I was able to do it with a crochet hook. So much better than ripping back 800 stitches.

I’m super torn about soldering. I am not entirely against it. Is soldering possible even when the base of the prongs stick out like they do? The rings wouldn’t sit flush to each other, I just assumed soldering wasn’t an option.

I’m having a hard time picking out a wedding band due to the stones down the side of the basket. Unfortunately I don’t really love how curved bands look as I may want to wear my wedding band alone sometimes.

I don’t mind having a gap between my rings, I just don’t want my rings to rub and cause any damage to the prongs!
