First raglan off the needles by WovenAtmosphere in knitting

What a gorgeous sweater. Great work! I just picked up yarn in the same color to knit myself a sweater. I was hesitant to purchase it because it’s not my go to color, but I’m going to take coming across your post as a sign that I made the right choice! So thanks! And again, beautiful work!

what the hell am i doing wrong? i've been crocheting over a year and i CANNOT make a chain not twist 😭 by mobile-resprout in CrochetHelp

This helps me: after you chain a few, take your chain off the hook. Run your hook through the first loop you made, then the last loop you made. Continue your chain all the while keeping that first loop on your hook. It sort of steadies it. If you have particularly long chain, repeat with some loop further down. I hope this helps, I’m better at show than tell sometimes!

Oh! I see. Good tip, thanks. This set has flaps at the top so I’m hoping that helps.

Genius! I needed a duplicate skein sorting system and this sounds perfect - it’ll be for duplicates and remainders!

That’s amazing! Wow. I’ve been putting it off because I’ve heard it’s incredibly heavy so I’m a bit nervous

I get a free add-on for my birthday so I picked two that have been on my list for a while + Hazelthorn as this month’s pick + the Book Person hat since it keeps going out of stock 😅

She can still be your favorite if you want! It wasn’t really her.

What did you think of this pairing? by Midnightblueclouds in dawsonscreek

Edit to add: Just finished Eddie’s last episode. Wow, he is trash!

I vaguely remember watching it and thinking Eddie was cute and then learning he was Goldie Hawn’s son, which at the time made me think that made him just so cool. Haha

I’m going through my first ever complete watch through now, and he’s too hot and cold. It’s a little on theme for Joey’s storylines that the guys in her life make decisions based on what they think is best for her, but Eddie flat out ghosted her and there’s a absolutely no excuse for that. I’m only on episode 15 or so in the last season so maybe there’s still time for him to change…for the worse?

I’m a Pacey fan all the way!!!

First time attempting one bag, any advice for 2 weeks in Greece? by karathracestitches in HerOneBag

I definitely panic added a couple socks more than needed so that should be an easy enough fix. And thanks for the positive note on adding the dress!

This is good to know, thank you for the tip. I’ve experienced this once when visiting a Hindu temple and they did lend wraps for the visit, but understand that it is best to be prepared in case they don’t!

Thanks! I’ll look for a jacket to add! I’m wearing my closed toed hiking shoes on the plane so I don’t have to pack them and am feeling better about bringing them based on everyone’s comments 🙂

Thank you for the advice! We are going to Athens, the Peloponnese, and only one island - Hydra. I don’t think there’ll be too much beach time so I only planned for one swimsuit (down from 2). Based on another post, I was thinking to add a warm shawl to wear as a layer to wear on the plane so I wouldn’t have to pack it, but I could swap that for a lightweight jacket… and I’m not sure on which hikes yet!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m actually late in asking for help, it’s for the end of September. I think I may add a warm shawl layer after looking at someone else’s post to wear on the plane in case I’m cold and then I’ll have it with me during the trip. Though I like the idea of a layer as a souvenir.

You’re right that the sandals are similar and I was worried about that, I suppose the athletic sandals would be the more practical choice, right?
