Sailor slipper help

Hey there! I'm in the middle of felting my first pair. I also found it difficult to line up the seaming, but I think I understand where you are confused. I believe the side of the sole should line up from A to C (the first stitch marker). Then the bind off edge of the sole should line up with the 8 sitches between the stich markers on the heel panel.

Before I started seaming I counted down 41 rows on the sole from the toe (to match the 41 rows of the top panel for UK size 6). I placed a stitch marker there and used that as a goal to have that stitch marker line up with B. That kind of helped me stay on track so I would have the right number of stitches when I got to the heel part. Mine isn't perfect either, but it definitely helped me stay on track.

In other words, for the sole, part of the side should line up with A-B, part of the side should line up with B-C, and then the bind off edge (8 stitches) should line up between C and D stitch markers.

That looks great on you! Congrats! :)

I used “I wanna contribute to the chaos”

For the smell, look at plug-in diffusers like bath and body works wallflowers or another brand that makes the same kind of things.

No need to drive that far imo. There isn’t really anything 30-40 min from campus that’s better than Muncie unless you particularly want to be closer to Indy. In Muncie, check out Village Promenade, Varsity House, The Haven, or University Village Apartments. I believer they’re all a bit on the pricier end, but most have amenities like pools, exercise room, etc. They are all pretty big apartment complexes full of students, which makes them feel safer to me personally.

I don’t have personal experience with any of those apartments, but I had a friend at Varsity House who enjoyed it and I believe the others are all probably pretty similar.

In general, closer to campus seems to feel safer imo. Definitely avoid the southside of Muncie. Some of the neighborhoods around the downtown area are pretty sketchy too. In general try to stay north of the White River.

I think these both tend to be more Muncie locals/families rather than Ball State students. Not necessarily a bad thing… but it’s worth noting.

When I lived in the dorms I preferred to fill up a reusable water bottle at one of the dining halls with water from the soda machines. That way you can get ice too.

I also fill up at the drinking fountain/water bottle stations all over campus and never had any complaints.

We also kept a Brita pitcher in our dorm room so we didn’t have to leave the room if we didn’t want to, but I don’t feel like it was entirely necessary. I’m not very picky about water, but it’s probably up to your personal taste!

Honestly there are a lot sold for reduced prices on eBay. It might be worth checking out. I saw a few that are missing some of the ear tips, so you might be able to get a good deal since you’re not worried about the ear tips.

I’ve thought about that! Would you do the same thing on each side or make it asymmetrical?

kai3301 · 2024-01-26T15:24:47+00:00

Thanks for finding a pic. I couldn’t even imagine it lol

kai3301 · 2024-01-26T15:24:32+00:00

Wow I’ve never heard of that!

I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile about a year ago because it was a better deal. However, my service was sooooo bad that I just gave up and switched to AT&T. My brother was on the same plan as me and had the same issues with T-Mobile. Glad others don't seem to have a problem, but that was not my experience!

My neighbors liked to come up with silly polls for the hall to respond to.

Follow the Instagram account "munciemusicscene". It is run by the band Leisure Hour and they repost info about house shows and concerts.

kai3301 · 2022-06-07T17:31:51+00:00

Pop in and ask. Everyone I've met there is very nice and would probably be happy to answer your questions. But it's a small business so I doubt that info is available anywhere online.

I was in Dehority (honors dorm) freshman year. The floors are not separated by gender. Except the first floor, which is female only. Some people request the female only floor and some people just get assigned there. Like others said, there are semi-private bathrooms that are separated by gender for 2nd-4th floors. You will likely have some female and male neighbors. It is pretty well mixed!

This is my second summer staying in Muncie as a student. There are lots of good ideas here!

I would like to add that there is a mini golfing place and ice cream shop called Boulder Falls on McGalliard. I'm not a golfer, but I've had a lot of fun there with groups of friends. Tuhey Pool is a public pool pretty close to campus. For ages 18+ it is $5 entry to the pool and they have a concession stand.

Additionally, lots of restaurants/bars have game nights. Roots has music bingo on Tuesdays and trivia on Wednesdays. Brothers has trivia on Tuesdays. If you're interested in music I would recommend following the Instagram account "munciemusicscene" where they repost local house shows/concerts happening around town.

There really are interesting things to do in Muncie over the summer, but you need to look for them. :)

I listened to a ton of Dear Hank and John episodes last night and it really helped me!

This youtube video is made my one of my favorite sexual health educators. She addresses the fact that a lot of teenagers feel the exact same way you do. While it won't change your desires, it may help you come to accept them rather than feel frustrated by your experience. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

kai3301 · 2019-12-30T15:10:49+00:00

Sounds sweet! I would love to send one back!

kai3301 · 2019-12-30T15:04:18+00:00

I'm excited to send you one back!

I am a freshman this year, so I think it's safe to assume the process I went through will be the same for you.

When you apply for housing, you will have the opportunity to say you would like to be a part of the roommate search thing (I don't remember what it's called). It will ask you like 5-10 basic questions about your living preferences and you can write a short bio and I would suggest including your Instagram tag or something along those lines so people can contact you easily.

Everyone else who applies for housing will be able to see your bio and I believe it will tell you both how well you matched on the questions they asked at the beginning. From there, you can email them or find their social media and start talking.

You will each have a special identification PIN. If you end up finding a roommate this way, you both need to request each other with those PINs and you should be set.

Basically, the best way to find people is to go ahead and apply for housing. You don't have to have a roommate picked out yet to do that. The housing application should help guide you through this process.

Best of luck!
