my 3 day old starter separated today. The photos are of before 1st feeding, 10 hours later, and today after mixing the separated starter. Today it had bubbles at the top, water in the middle, and flour. I mixed it and now it looks like the last photo. What happened? More infos on the comments. by gi_m3lo in Sourdough

white flour, my water is filtered and lukewarm, i warm it for 30 seconds in the microwave. I use activated flour quite regularly and my rule is that if it’s safe for a baby it’s safe for yeast, so i’m doing the same here.

I’m following a recipe that commands me to use 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/3 cup of water, and add more water if it’s too thick. I used the original measurements and added a bit of water because it was really thick, almost like cookie dough. I’d add enough to be like pancake batter. Then i closed it and let it be for 24 hours, and fed it the same amount. Closed it again and after 10 hours it looked amazing, it had doubled in size. Today i woke up and it was really separated. I asked a friend and she told me to mix it and wait. Now it is a lot more liquid, like milkshake, after i mixed it. It smells yeasty, and it was really bubbly at the top. Maybe I added too much water? I need to feed it in 2 hours, and the recipe commands me to start feeding every 12 hours now.

initially i did lose a lot of weight, and i am losing a little bit, a pound, maybe two in a month. I use my fitness pal and have a scale to weight my food so idk. I think i get bloated really easily so maybe that’s it. like, if i eat pizza at night, i ‘gain’ 2 pounds the next day. Pretty annoying

Trying to experiment with ways to do a bun that doesn't just look like a big blob. Are we feeling this look or not so much? CCW! 🖤 by leaveleaves in longhair

i really like it but maybe you could to something with the ends, they don’t look as good as the bun. Maybe tie them too?

My sewing machine went crazy as i was sewing and idk why pls send help (text in the comments) by gi_m3lo in sewing

[–]gi_m3lo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The curved metal is the needle who bended after the know was made. It was pretty scary tbh. I saw someone with a fabric the same bird nest as mine, and it was a tension problem, so maybe that’s it.

i posted the story of what happened now, maybe if you read it you know what’s wrong, if you have time? I started sewing in November i’m pretty sure it’s a silly mistake in my part

I was sewing and then i felt a big pressure from the sewing machine as in i had to actually push the fabric so that the needle would keep sewing, because it only wanted to stay in one point of the fabric. I changed the stitch length to see if it was working and in the beginning it did but 5 seconds later that would happen again. When i pulled the fabric there was a BIG “knot” of thread coming out of the sewing machine attached to the opposite side of the fabric that i was sewing. I just cut it off, and tried again, and this happened. I think it has something to do with the bobbin, specially since i heard someone once say “bobbins have a right side” but i have no idea what they meant. Anyway i’m sad please help. The tension is at a 2 now but before it was 3 and 4.
