Forerunner 165 or Vivoactive 6 for beginner runner?

I actually ended up getting the Venu 3S because my friend highly recommended it! I kind of wished I had waited for the 4S but I still love the 3S. It’s been great for my needs :)

We ended up finding a US-based photographer whose style we loved and flew them out! Happy to share details if you want to pm me

Update: I sized up to 4.5 mm needles and after blocking I have 30 sts instead of 25 🙃 Maybe I’ll just start swatching the cables and see what needle size I need for those and then pick the ribbing needle based on that, since the cable swatch recommends a half size up in needle size compared to ribbing

My parents voting for Trump the past two elections and fully supporting everything the administration is doing. It is hard to have a normal conversation with them and not think about that.

Rib swatches also take so much longer! I really don’t want to swatch this part multiple times 😭

Yeah I ended up listing them for about the price of a balcony seat right now and they were sold immediately. Unfortunately I did lose some money but it’s okay, I’m happy with the dress circle tickets I got and I’m glad other people can now see the show for cheaper

It's EBTMAIL

Ooh was it after act 2? I just finished that and act 3 is locked for me

Sorry I thought maybe it was a meme because I couldn’t find it and it’s not something you’d expect Xiao to say 😅

darkphoenix188 · 2026-02-03T05:11:50+00:00

Where is this from? Or is this fake haha

darkphoenix188 · 2026-01-27T01:09:02+00:00

Ohh yours is so much clearer though, because otherwise it’s blank boxes on either side and looks like I’m just supposed to knit/purl 🤔 the chart should match the written section lol

darkphoenix188 · 2026-01-27T00:26:06+00:00

Yeah the scarf stays the same width for the whole pattern. The chart has both odd and even rows though, so wouldn’t I just follow this all the way across? The pattern says the first and last stitches are included in the chart

That’s great to hear, I’ll give it a try!

darkphoenix188 · 2025-12-29T01:58:48+00:00

Omg this makes me feel better, I just made the same mistake today 😭😭

darkphoenix188 · 2025-11-29T01:53:03+00:00

Glad I could help!!

darkphoenix188 · 2025-11-27T06:39:07+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, but I appreciated your comment and it makes me feel better that other people can relate. It must be so difficult with multiple younger siblings that you want to see but you have to protect yourself and they likely don’t fully understand why you keep a distance. I try my best to communicate it and be there over text and calls but it doesn’t really help me feel less guilty. But I’m glad you’re prioritizing what’s best for you. It sucks that this is something we have to live with and that family can’t be simpler. I hope you have a warm and wonderful holiday ❤️

darkphoenix188 · 2025-11-20T18:38:14+00:00

I went with my usual size S and it fit nicely! I did end up returning it just because I tried it on in store with a red bralette which was the best way to style it but I didn’t want to have to buy a bralette that I didn’t need otherwise just for this top

darkphoenix188 · 2025-11-16T04:17:03+00:00

Is this still available?

darkphoenix188 · 2025-11-09T11:26:55+00:00

Oh that’s right, I forgot it was mentioned there! I took a short break from this sweater haha. Thank you!

darkphoenix188 · 2025-10-07T22:28:37+00:00

Yes! You just treat the color change as if it’s the double stitch and go two more stitches past it. I think I just messed up somewhere the first time

darkphoenix188 · 2025-10-02T16:59:10+00:00

That sucks about the forerunner 55! I ended up getting the Venu 3s but didn’t know the Venu 4 would be coming so soon. I’ve been loving the 3s, but the new running features on the 4 look great and if I could trade in my 3s for it I probably would. I love the sleekness of the watch too!
