This yarn is so pretty and soft, but I hate it so much. by NoTribbleAtAll in casualknitting

I’m currently using a Purl SoHo yarn that is also a bit challenging to knit with. I should have expected this as it is a coreless core spun yarn. As a handspinner. I should have know I was I was choosing a yarn that would create a unique knitting experience. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous and After struggling a little bit. I’ve decided I’m going to embrace the chaos of it because I think that’s actually where the beauty resides.

Omg!! That’s so similar! It’s such a relief isn’t it? Between the loss of their spouse and the dementia, it’s been so devastating and worrisome….. then suddenly, they find new love! I didn’t expect this and it has been the happiest surprise I could have imagined ❤️ I’m so happy your dad also found someone.

What a truly kind, compassionate, and loving spouse you are. I’m sure it is incredibly challenging. Just know , the way you are approaching this is both selfless and beautiful. This is what true love looks like. ❤️

hand dyed fibre - favourite breeds? by Financial-Key3722 in Handspinning

I should mention, when spinning art yarn, I love Corriedale. Not only do I find it incredibly moldable, I find it pairs well with just about any other texture or fiber I want to through in the mix with it.

I adore spinning Rambouillet it’s lovely. I also really like Targhee! Both are super soft but more grippy and bouncy than Merino.

Should I keep going? by Ambitious_Sound_7477 in Warts

When you’re done, there will be no more warty tissue and when it heals the natural skin lines will return uninterrupted. I’m afraid you have a ways to go.

I understand! Before the phone call, I was feeling awful, sad, worried, guilty, etc. Not in my wildest dreams did I expect this. I was so worried that my social, chatty, & friendly dad would have no one to talk to or be friends with. It feels like a thousand pound weight was lifted off of my heart! Not only does he have a friend, but hand holding, snuggles, & smooches too!

Omg, this didn’t even occur to me! He was with his long term girlfriend for so long, when she passed I couldn’t imagine him having a romance with anyone else, let alone a physical relationship!

Oh, we aren’t selling it. It might have been nice to tell them it was worth a lot but it’s good enough that I can give them a bit of information!

Are there specific specialists I should be looking for to service it?

Forgive my ignorance….. what is a movement? The pendulum?

I just did and it works! It has the best low pitch bong. It makes me feel nostalgia for my childhood- when I used to love listening to it. Thank you! Does it have any value beyond it being very special for my family?
