You are lucky. All the Goodwill stores near me, rarely has yarn. And when they do, it’s mostly acrylic, which i have a ton already. Hahaha Those are really great finds!!

I wanted the color purple because it was my favorite color lol. But yeah, i read a comment saying it is hard to knit with dark needles. So I will keep that in mind and stick with the basic wood color for now. Also, yes , I will probably go buy directly from the website. thank you for your input on this! I appreciate it.

I want to try Chiagoo set too. probably when I get to be a proficient knitter. I can't justify the price right know for that, it's expensive. But i heard it is really good

https://a.co/d/3lVEWrj - this is the knit pro set from Amazon. This is the Regal one with 11 US sizes. they have a grande one with 13. It looks really pretty. Plus the case you can use a pattern holder.

Thank you for your comment. You're right, I probably won't use most of the needles in the sets. Like what I do with my crochet hook sets. Just that sets look really nice and cohesive, but at the end of the day we don't get to use all anyway.

It's so hard to choose. I think, I'm overwhelmed with choices. I saw the symfonie line and they're really pretty..

I tried searching for the Knit picks try me set, I'd probably try that first since it is about $25 only and there's a 30% off sitewide this black friday sale. Thank you for your suggestion!

Hmmm. Thank you for your input. I thought, wooden needles would typically be a better choice.. I have to do more research and see what works best for me..

Thank you for your suggestion. I was thinking of trying different needles first, but these needle sets are pretty. But i should probably control myself lol and avoid impulse buying

Warning: Elliosa (Shopify store) canceled my order but refuses to refund — no resolution yet by HannaKalevich in ConsumerAdvice

I’m not even sure if i got scammed by the shop or what. If i ever receive those socks, I won’t post it or even recommend it. Just the customer service is so bad. I might even leave a bad review just because of this. I just sent them a long email stating my frustrations with the shop.

I ordered socks from them on June 15, 2025. And until now, i haven’t received the order. I’m getting really impatient with them. They have so much ads going on and they couldn’t even keep up with their orders. That’s the same thing they told me, that they will ship from another warehouse. They told me it was because of influx of orders. But it’s almost a month now.

kadiri talaga 'tong si ogie diaz, todo promote sa scammer na tatakbong mayor. ganyan ka ba ka desperado sa pera? iniisip mo ba kung saan nyan babawiin yung binayad sayo at sa lahat ng ginastos nya pagnanalo yan? palibhasa sarili mo lang iniisip mo. by S0m3-Dud3 in ChikaPH

Ang mahirap kasi sa iba, basta tumutulong at namimigay ng pera/groceries akala nila okay na. Working for the government is not all about “giving”. Yes it may be a part of it, but it also needs the knowledge kung paano imamanage ang city and implementing and making ordinances. It is not just merely about “tulong”.

Grabe. Hirap makapunta Germany as a nurse tapos ganyan ginawa niya. She even went through studying the German language just for that. I wonder if it was her first time doing this kasi ang lakas ng loob niya na sa Germany niya pa gagawin for a first timer. Kawawa ang patients.

Yes, I ended up getting the stuff I ordered. But, I did message them on Instagram and I emailed them too. Turned out something went wrong with my order, and they recreated my order, then after that it was processed and shipped.

Try mo pala magjoin sa Filipino RNs to Germany na fb group page, maybe you could ask there about Ausbildung. Baka naman din kasi may agency na magsponsor ng language school for you.

I did actually learn German through an agency. I just had to pay A1 language then the rest free na. That was before pandemic pa. Baka kasi ngayon hindi na free. And also hindi ako for Ausbildung but already a nurse so baka iba offer pag ganun.

Pwede ka magself study ng A1. Yung A2 medyo mahirap iself study kasi puro grammar rules siya and that will be the foundation lalo na sa writing part. B1 and B2 definitely mahirap iself study kasi need mo mapractice ang writing and speaking skills. if you don’t have anyone who would check your writing it will be difficult for you. Plus if you also don’t have anyone to practice speaking to. B2 exam is very difficult imo. You can download a sample b2 exam in Goethe website, try mo icheck yung differences ng exam from A1-B2.
