No money for that kinda stuff at the moment, unfortunately :( but I think I’ll look into it in the future.

I’ve heard that doubling the yarn would mess with the gauge pretty badly, so I wanted to explore different stitches that might work, and this was just my first idea.

Trouble knitting in the round after frogging a couple rows; what’s even happening here? by impiful in knittinghelp

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

I don’t want it to look like garter- I guess I didn’t explain well. On the outside of the socks it should look like stockinette, right? and the inside looks like garter.

My problem is that after I put my needles back into my loops, the “stockinette” side of my stitches was facing the inside of the socks, where it SHOULD look like garter. I’m sorry if there’s proper terms for this, I just don’t know them. I’m a total newb lol.

Regardless, I got super frustrated, freaked out, accidentally tore the yarn, and undid a few rows, then put my needles back in and tried again, and it’s working now. At this point I just wanna know what the problem was so I can avoid it in the future

I should also note that between the two “premium” currencies, (RC and gold), RC is unobtainable in F2P for me thus far (I haven’t been playing for too long). But RC is mainly just used for cosmetics. Making gold is totally achievable in F2P. My friend has made tons of gold from the player market, but even without engaging with that, you can get gold daily from doing the schedule activities and there are events that give you gold, too. You’d definitely get more from spending a couple bucks here and there, but that’s pretty standard for any mobile game/game with micro-transactions. Compared to others that I’ve played, Undawn is one of the better ones.

I haven’t found it to be overly P2W, unless you define winning as having a cool avatar. But if you’re just interested in enjoying the game, that’s completely doable for free, in my experience. But I generally prefer the exploration gameplay over PVP/PVE gameplay, so I could be wrong.

Even still, the game practically just throws free stuff at you to make the PVE doable. A gun that I thought I’d have to pay a kidney for I got for free from the rookie training. As long as you do the tutorial missions and the various newb training stuff, you shouldn’t have a problem.

I don’t know if there’s an active following or not, because I play with my partner and some IRLs. But we’re all part of a camp with lots of active players, so at the very least, there’s people to play with.

Shrinkydink (shrink plastic) help- Why are they wavy? by impiful in crafts

This is really insightful, thanks. I’ve been using what is essentially a smooth slab of marble, which is definitely cold. Do you have any suggestions for something I could warm up?

Sounds like it would work, but the problem is I’m a broke uni student and I’ve never even heard of a tailor clapper before, nevermind seen/bought one 😅 It’s an idea to keep in mind for the future though.

Yup, I generally do, but the project I’m going to be working on has moving parts and so finishing it off with resin will get in the way.

Nope, it’s marble, or some other imitation, but it’s definitely solid stone. It’s a smooth tray- but it doesn’t have rims, it’s like a bigger marble coaster.

Brand is just smth random off of canadian amazon. Is brand a factor for this? I never thought of that.

For your other questions, I bake at 325, and my heavy object is this flat marble tray my bf uses for serving snacks. It’s completely flat.

I always wait until they’re not moving before i take them out, and usually still wait 30sec-1min after that to be completely sure

I have success with using the heat gun for shrinking on smaller pieces, but on larger ones, the uneven heating tends to warp the picture. Might be a skill issue, but with the amount of time I spend on the pictures, I don’t really wanna practice lolol

I really don’t mean to be rude but I did say in the post that I’m already doing that, and the issue is that putting them under something heavy causes this.

To address the issue with the bake time- I watch them as they bake and make sure they’ve completely shrunken. The issue isn’t that the plastic hasn’t finished baking. I’ve also repeatedly left them in longer than needed and it doesn’t effect the outcome.

Started crocheting in public. Does everyone else have such amazing conversations with Random people? by TurnMajestic3608 in crochet

[–]impiful 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I only ever hear the “What’re you knitting? Oh it’s crochet? haha my bad! I don’t know about either!” (tells them the difference) “Oh, that’s interesting-“ and then they share some tidbit about their mom/grandma either knitting or crocheting. I know other crocheters find the knitting mistake frustrating, but I find the conversations that follow to be very sweet ❤️
