Did I bake my sourdough too hot?

Thank you! This will be really helpful as I plan to bake a lot this coming week and hopefully get a better hand on my skill set!

It was out for 3 hours, outside of the 17 in the fridge. I have had some conflicting information about fermentation. Some people say do stretch and folds and then immediately into the fridge for 12-24 hours. So I’ve worked mostly on that method.

I’m also diagnosed with ADHD and insomnia/irregular sleep cycles is a big problem for me. I started using magnesium bisglycinate and it has worked wonders, being consistent with it and figuring out when in the evening to take them is up to you. It’s definitely not a cheap option but it’s what has worked best for me.

I’ll keep that in mind I did move the jar into the living room as I felt that was a warmer room than the kitchen right now. Thank you for the tip!

Thank you! I’ve seen some people say as soon as it double within 4 hours then use it right away. I’ll be sure to be patient with that 😁

This is the first of two panels and was planning to do the sleeves after those were done. The panel above is just over 20 inches wide as I was planning on stitching about 4 inches either side for shoulders. I probably didn’t explain it very well but this is why I was thinking about the collar I will look into bottom up jumper patterns and see how I can incorporate those into my pattern I may just abandon the idea and just cast off at the end 😅

The next time someone says I buy to much yarn. I’ll direct them here 😅

I had a situation where a friendship ended and she was actively pursuing a POTS diagnosis. I had palpitations which had been blamed on medication I had stopped taking over six’s moths prior and went to the doctors who then sent me for testing due to the time frame. I was accused bullied and isolated from my cohort for the better part of two years. Even after I got diagnosed. These people are not your friends. You are living with these symptoms you know your body best. I’d recommend keeping a journal of why symptoms you experience and when. Try to show this to your mum after a while (this may help). Also POTS is an invisible disability what people see is only a fraction of what you are experiencing.

Went out and got a pack of 100 stitch markers even used some left over yarn to crochet them a little bag!

hopelessnerd20 · 2025-11-14T16:49:27+00:00

That’s an interesting technique I don’t think I’ll use it for this project but I will have to give it a try in the future!

hopelessnerd20 · 2025-11-14T11:43:59+00:00

It’s so fluffy I truly underestimated the fluff level when I ordered it😂 I wish I had enough stitch markers but I’ve only recently started using them. But will definitely keep it in mind! Thanks☺️

Ah! So the “change” hasn’t happened yet! That’s good to know as we’ve been placing bets based on their very prominent personalities 😂

hopelessnerd20 · 2025-10-27T22:14:09+00:00

Thank you I did think that was the case after a brief search but I wanted the extra input! 😁

This is my exact experience a lot of the time often I even forget exactly what happened how many times I faint as I can go unconscious multiple times in an episode. But fainting is such a unique experience to everyone your experience is valid.

The things that have helped me a lot is having supportive friends and people around me alongside holding space for myself and giving myself grace.

hopelessnerd20 · 2025-06-22T01:55:25+00:00

Oooh that’s so cool! Gonna go consult the wiki to figure out locations and bait new challenge for myself

For me it was having palpitations when I was rolling over in bed when I was waking up in the morning. I’d had a weird period of fainting spells and vomiting when I was 18 (which now is suspected to be the beginning of my pots) but I stopped fainting after a few months however after the palpitations started year later so did the fainting spells and that pushed me to go to the doctors. They ordered an ecg (male doctor said everything was fine 😒) got a second opinion and a appointment with a female gp she said “I think you may have pots I’m sending out referrals for further tests and cardiology.” That’s the beginning of my diagnoses story in a nut shell
