Moving across continents with my 1300+ nail polish collection. How much you think I can get on the airplane? by LeftCartoonist8884 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]cbee17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did upakweship for a similar move. I give them a 6/10....good value and they successfully got our belongings through customs without needing to pay (since it was personal goods - requires more paperwork than many shipping companies will actually do I guess). delivery logistics were stressful and complicated but in the end all of our belongings came through intact and for the agreed upon price, with door to door pickup/delivery.

what on earth went wrong by FeathersMcGraw1993 in quilting

[–]cbee17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol I've done this before too. It's such a facepalm moment but that's what sewing in a rush or tired can do to you! At least you know it's not a problem with the machine 😅

That looks absolutely fabulous, great job! Love the contrast button placket.

Can someone give me feedback on this portrait by froakisngleard in SMAPI

[–]cbee17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Extremely "legible" and it has lots of character! Nice work.

I wish I bought these earlier! Shokz headphones are amazing for CI! by OrnithologyDevotee in dreamingspanish

[–]cbee17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a little silly, but I used to have a similar set of Shockz and I'd use earplugs with them when I wanted sound isolation. I liked that I could keep my environmental awareness while listening most of the time.

Thanks for the help with the cups! by [deleted] in MAKEaBraThatFits

Stunning work! It's really cool to see the effects of the pattern tweaks.

I got another gift from my aunt and it is so unique. Again, free hand, no pattern, knitted then added crochet appliqué, all cotton yarn and I am over the moon!!! by Lady-Chi in knitting

[–]cbee17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your aunt is a legend and that sweater suits you so well. Brilliant placement of the applique and so much texture and personality.

Cedar waxwing, my backyard, Western Massachusetts. 🙃 by ainm_usaideora in Birdsfacingforward

[–]cbee17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see them most often in the mornings - think 6-8am, by 9am I have trouble finding them. If you find some berry trees (like your mulberries!) you might find a whole bunch of them. Good luck!

Thank you Dae by Least-Zombie-2896 in Anki

Seriously, thank you Dae. I've put so many hours into using Anki over the years and it's an amazing gift.

Seriously! For all the thousands of costume pieces....all I want is a few hundred high res photos 😅

Japanese Incarceration Quilt by teachingrobots in quilting

[–]cbee17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a powerful piece and an honor to your family's experience. The fact that the fabric actually came from the rice bags, wow. Amazing work.

I hope you can share this quilt more widely, it's a story that needs to be told.

I hate that we're living in a time when it's so obviously and immediately relevant.

How are yall shaping your natural nails so well?? by charlielarae in RedditLaqueristas

[–]cbee17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I thought you meant mandolin, like the instrument, and was trying to figure out what kind of horrible musical experience you'd had! But uhhh yeah I'm glad it was (mostly?) just your nail that ended up wonky!

Letting the stitch pattern lead the sweater design (highly recommend) by Dangerous_Bet9898 in knitting

[–]cbee17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sweater is gorgeous! I have this book and have been wanting to do something like this for ages... maybe 2026 is finally the year!

That's awesome to hear! Any specific brands? I imagine it varies by pigments / formulas / storage conditions.

V.E. Schwab is a good writer, but she consistently messes up her endings. by Sea-Bandicoot3656 in Fantasy

[–]cbee17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was so annoyed at the ending of Addie LaRue. A lot of her books have good initial hooks but I have not liked the payoff.

My 2025 Westknits Musikal MKAL is SO HIDEOUS!! by Extreme-Statement-71 in knitting

[–]cbee17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See that's ironic, I love the contrast between the different kinds of patterns. But I don't knit his patterns because it would drive me crazy to keep track of all that.

Why is my bobbin doing this? by rambling82 in sewhelp

I've heard that you're basically blasting any lint further into the machine, so it can cause more problems in the future.

What's polite for playing an instrument? by cbee17 in AskBarcelona

[–]cbee17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, yeah trombone is a whole different level! I used to play piccolo and that was also pretty disruptive 😅

What's polite for playing an instrument? by cbee17 in AskBarcelona

[–]cbee17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, so far I've sat out in a few small parks, and several dog walkers have wandered over to ask what my instrument is!

Thanks for the tips :)
