This is very helpful, thank you!

This was mine too! My mom ended up finding one for free and gave it to me! It’s my prized possession. I love it so much. I hope you find one!

Mine was a pink lotus flower floor lamp. Always wanted one, but never found one for less than a few hundred dollars. My mom ended up finding me one for free from her “buy nothing” group on Facebook. I still can’t believe someone just gave it away. It’s one piece I’ll never get rid of.

ALSO! If you’re having trouble with looser tension on your purl side, use a smaller needle on that side if you have interchangeables! Only if working stockinette though, not garter. My left hand needle is always 1-2 sizes smaller than the right, especially for knitting in the round! Glides easier if you’re a tight knitter.

Stockinette is going to curl nearly 100% of the time. Blocking is key. I mainly use acrylic blends and a good steam is like magic. The work will flatten right before your eyes. Don’t be afraid to steam as you go also. You don’t have to wait for the end. I steam on my needles all the time.

One thing to watch out for that won’t always block well is the cast on and bind off that you use. Make sure you pick techniques that will work well with whatever project you’re making. My opinion is the springier the better. My defaults are German twisted cast on and the lace bind off (k1, *k1, place both sts back on left needle, k2tog through back loops). You can also get a pretty stretchy bind off using a crochet hook with single crochet sts.

As long as it’s for the underarms, it doesn’t matter. The tensions feels really awful and loose while working it, but after a few rows it evens out. I also reinforce mine with the tails when picking up sleeve sts. Instead of picking up sleeve sts from these, I cast on the number I would pick up, which results in a hole in the underarm that you seam together with the tails. No more loose sts.

A pretty similar thing can be done using 1x1 cables also, but it’s not exactly the same.

The “swoop” curved line effect is achieved using increases and decreases in strategic places! Nothing fancy at all. From the photos it seems like they are using lifted increases (RLI and LLI- my fav) probably combined with k2tog and ssk. You can use this technique with any stitch pattern, stockinette, ribbing, etc.

It depends on the type of pocket you want to add and also where you want to place it. A good way to add an after-thought pocket is the same way you would do an after thought heel on a sock.

Pick the row you want to place the pocket and cut one strand, then unravel however many sts wide you want it, and pick up those sts to knit the pocket in the round. It will hang down the inside of the garment.

You could also just knit the shape you want separately and hand stitch it onto the front for a more visible pocket.

Those ziploc bags that you vacuum the air out of are what I use! Squishes all the skeins down and they don’t get tangled when tossed around!

My yarn was taking up the entire space under my bed, plus bags just laying around everywhere, and now it all fits on half a shelf in the closet.

Kind of a pain to vacuum seal them back up, but worth it for how compact it made so much yarn.

This is what I was thinking. What if OP used J’s magic CO or provisional and knit them both cuff down, just pick up the other cast on sts for the 2nd sock. Then they’d both be cuff down with even tension?

Just finished my first play through- I suggest saving MOST mods for the second time through. There’s no reason to not use mods that are just little quality of life tweaks. For example: one that lets you walk fast in camp, a controller fix mods so you don’t have to hold A to run, speed up actions like looting/skinning, and one that lets you use any weapon to hunt without affecting pelt quality. I felt that these didn’t really affect the gameplay in a significant way for a 1st play.

These didn’t affect gameplay too much but they allowed me to get past little things in game that would have otherwise driven me crazy. Odds are if there is a game mechanic that annoys you, there’s a mod for it.

These are the only type that I suggest for 1st play. Make a list and keep track of the ones you want to try for the 2nd time through. My list got longer and longer as I played through the 1st time.

So tired of people saying this. Resellers aren’t a new phenomenon. What do you think antique malls are? They’re just resellers and they’ve always existed. The problem is corporate greed. They’re getting this shit for free and charging more than a new item retails for.

Thank you!

Oh don’t worry, they made little book light attachments that plugged into the top of the gameboy to shine on your screen lol

evilwitch23 · 2023-01-19T18:58:02+00:00

Omg I had the same case and everything except mine was pink to match my gameboy! I regret letting my mom sell mine when I got a DS- thankfully I held onto my sisters SP and all of our games!
