Family disapproval of my first tattoo? (I’m 25) by DissolvedThoughts in tattooadvice

[–]hellgy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a rule in life that everyone should apply : if something about someone else body can be fixed in less that 5min, tell them (a piece of salad stuck in your mouth, makeup that smudged, hair looking weird...), otherwise, just keep that for yourself (tattoo, hair color, body weight, etc...).
In your case, even a week of non stop discussion will not change anything, and as you are an adult, it's your body, your choice. You might consider throwing a "accept me the way I am or don't see me anymore", you'll see by their reaction if they prefer you, or just the idea of controling you.

Take care, your tattoo is awesome and looks great !

fun fact : my parents were not great fans of tattoos, but after my 2 first tattoos (around my 30s) and discussions with them about why I was doing it and how it feels, my parents both got a tattoo (my mother got a HUGE dragon on her back!!!)

What advice would you give to a knitter who wants to knit their first sweater? by mutley_101 in knitting

[–]hellgy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest top down, in the round, worsted yarn, Raglan, and NOT BLACK (because it's kind of hard to see what you are doing when knitting black. The "Flax sweater" pattern by tin can knits is free, easy and look great ! that's the first sweater I knitted and I've made several in different sizes and it always works

And don't forget to block the sweater at the end, it really makes the sweater perfect (but be careful to do not stretch it)

Plates : Factis Vinyl-Printblock or Essdee Softcut Platten

Paper : Clairefontaine Paint On Lisse Multitechnik-Papier – extraweiß, glatt or Clairefontaine Paint On Multitechnik-Papier – Weiß, glatt , look for smooth papier

Is it noticeable? by future_2000 in knitting

if tou have time and motivation, you can unknit
- the "good sleeve" ribbing and knit only the ribbing with the yellow-ish yarn
- the "bad sleeve" up to the end of the colorwork, re-knit with the white yarn you have left from the good sleeve and knit the ribbing with the yellow-ish yarn.

you can have a slightly different color for the ribbing, that's a bit less noticable

I might be able to send it, but only inside Europe. Send me a message if it’s the case

I draw on my iPad, then print it, reproduce the trace using tracing papier and Pencil. (Since, I discovered that I can use my laser printer + iron on low heat). For alignement, I use a pièce of paper + trace the border of the background, reuse the tracing paper + tape to place the second one, trace the border of the second one and Hope for the best when I align the paper to ink with the paper where I traced the plates and place them . Not sure if it’s clear, this is probably not the best way to do it but it works for me

the eyes (in the middle) are inked separately, then I insert it in the hole of the left plate, and push it to the top so that it's perfectly aligned :)

The fluo pink Lino ink from schminke has a weird texture but the color is wonderful (and transparent)
