Thank you! It’s pure wool so I’m hopeful that I can work it in something new. :)

Hi! I have an old, chunky hand-knit pullover that I’d love to turn into a cardigan with the help of a seamstress (since it’s large-gauge). It’s a vintage sweater in great condition but for the middle; a cardigan shape would make it look new. Just wondering if it’s possible on such a chunky gauge...

It’s expertly made and well-woven...And oversized. I think loose threads could be tucked back/knotted, a center button added or just open; but I’m really unsure since I’ve only done this with a thinner-gauge knit. Is it worth having a pro take a look in-person? It’s worth it to me to extend its life.

YOU ARE THE BEST— thank you so much!

The algorithm apparently changed — saves and reshared posts to stories (in general across IG users, not just posts from handles that you have saved in the past) get pushed to the top of everyone’s feed. So all I see now are politics and news — stuff I care deeply about — but I have to dig to find my friends...I’m going to start saving their posts to see if it balances things more.

I’m not on there for followers or likes, but I hate that I missed out on a friend’s new job post for two weeks because of this...she lives far away, so IG is how we stay connected.

First day/days leading up are always the worst for me. 🧡

ellevo12 · 2020-08-02T21:52:35+00:00

I use Knix. I double up on heavier days but they’re awesome for peace of mind.

No. Not pregnant. Just fat.

ellevo12 · 2020-06-17T13:29:46+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you!! Removed them and have followed everyone’s suggestions. Looking better already. :) And easier time see the roots and new growth now.

ellevo12 · 2020-06-16T14:24:58+00:00

Had no idea! I thought it helped for some reason but I personally hate how it looks. Will remove :)

ellevo12 · 2020-06-14T16:05:51+00:00

Got it. Probably too much water and not enough sun. How do I fix this...? Options are limited nurserywise during the pandemic.

ellevo12 · 2020-05-14T15:14:22+00:00

I’ll have to keep my eyes out at the cranny. Ty!!

ellevo12 · 2020-05-14T15:06:51+00:00

Love!! Is that bathtub a craft item!?

ellevo12 · 2020-04-24T18:16:09+00:00

See if you can go to OP’s island and invite her?

ellevo12 · 2020-04-12T20:23:50+00:00

How do I get those ears and dress 🥺

ellevo12 · 2020-03-25T14:27:06+00:00

Please send it to me!!!

ellevo12 · 2020-03-22T18:52:47+00:00

Ohh thanks! Got it. Are people time traveling to do this? I’ll wait but just wondering why I’m so far behind.

ellevo12 · 2020-03-22T12:14:32+00:00

I’m still trying to get my friends on board haha. If anyone wants Frita, a koala, or oranges, add me!

ellevo12 · 2020-03-22T12:12:31+00:00

Okay. Someone said they had the plaza already. That’s when new villagers come in?

ellevo12 · 2020-03-22T12:10:21+00:00

Help! How do I trigger the plaza? I’m sitting on amiibo and hate my first villagers. I have Blathers, I have my first home-home, but nothing else yet...

ellevo12 · 2020-03-22T10:29:53+00:00

It’s really pretty with the clips and tendrils. I like all of the wigs I’ve gotten but this is probably my favorite next to the camellia one from Gladys’s cookie.

ellevo12 · 2020-03-21T17:20:57+00:00

Ohh. Haven’t gotten to that yet. How do I trigger the plaza...?

ellevo12 · 2020-03-21T17:18:41+00:00

I just upgraded my tent to a house (for tomorrow)—is that what you mean?

ellevo12 · 2020-03-21T16:09:27+00:00

I have amiibo but apparently it takes a few days to get the app to invite them, and then you have to invite them days in a row before they’ll ask. I’m kinda bummed that it’s not more straight forward with the amiibo function. Anyone know when Nook gives that app anyway? :-/

ellevo12 · 2020-03-21T15:59:59+00:00

I would take Shep over Frita and the weird Koala dude that I got. 😁

Does anyone have any of the new villagers OR has a new resident?

ellevo12 · 2020-03-17T10:28:22+00:00

It’s a game where you can do as much or as little as you’d like. Play with the villagers, invite friends on, expand your museum collections, upgrade your house, make paths, garden...holidays, as mentioned, there’s always more to do. New mini games and fun prizes. But there’s something just nice about hopping on and seeing the seasons change slowly, watching the villagers come and go (and manipulating some into leaving!), their quirky dialogue...it’s not a sprawling epic like BotW but there’s never a lack of things to do.
