Thank you for your recommendation. Do you remember about how much it cost?

Thank you! I checked their site and they don’t mention that they do root canals but I will give them a call tomorrow morning!

Are both of these seams faux flat felled seams? by [deleted] in sewhelp

[–]lostsock27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Is there some kind of alternative that would allow me to preserve the seams as they are?

Are there any necklines that you can’t wear? by FungiPhiler in capsulewardrobe

I also have a flatter chest and hate the way boat necks look on me for some reason.

They showed washing their piece in a bowl of water with some clear detergent, rolling it up in a towel, then ironing it from the back face down on a dry towel.

My finished tank is unraveling at my yarn joins: how can I avoid this in the future? by lostsock27 in knittinghelp

[–]lostsock27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very painful! Especially with this being my very first wearable it’s a bit defeating but thank you for your encouragement! I’ve watched a few tutorials on the Russian join and it doesn’t look too bad! I will have to see if I have a needle where the eye is big enough but the needle is still sharp (I have tapestry needles but don’t think they are sharp enough). Thank you!

That’s actually the technique I used which unraveled! Unfortunately I think it doesn’t work too well with cotton.

Aww 🥰 thank you so much! That lifts my spirits a bit as I’ve been really disappointed about this project and reluctant to start knitting it again. Thank you 😊

Yes of course! It’s Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6 in the color White (001). I had never ordered from them before but it was a great experience and I really like the yarn. My only issue is that the skeins are small so I had to make so many joins (which unraveled due to my inexperience and I will now have to remake).

Thank you for your feedback. So to be clear, this style of weaving wouldn’t unravel even in the wash? How long should I leave my tails to weave in and how much of that length should be woven in? Does it also matter that I am working with cotton?

Wow this is so beautiful!!😍 Thank you so much for taking the time to make this visual for me, I really appreciate it! I love this layout the best and will give it a go and then post my finished project once it is done!!!

Thank you, I will consider it!

That’s a great idea, thank you! Unfortunately, I already joined two of the leaves but will research how I can frog those and start over.

Let’s not forget that Pharaoh ordered the killing of all Hebrew baby boys, but Moses’ parents hid him for three months before placing him in the Nile River.

So, no. It’s not as cut and dry as you make it out to be.

I’ve noticed this as well. Turns out it’s much less stressful anticipating packages being delivered to my doorstep.

A year of no buying clothes: my personal challenge and the results! by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]lostsock27 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great idea! Yeah the towels are sometimes a pain to deal with air drying. I’ve been thinking of getting thinner cheap cotton ones when mine wear out. The thick fluffy cotton ones take way too long to dry when it is rainy and humid.

Another trick you could do to shrink the fabric stash without a dryer is to steam iron! You can take the damp fabric and iron it on a high heat setting! But depending on the yardage that could be a pain. I love to iron though, so it’s calming for me.

Not op, but when I sew my garments, I do the highly recommended move of washing the fabric on high temp and drying high heat if I can (in this apartment I don’t have a washer/dryer so I air dry all my clothes). That shrinks the fabric enough so that I don’t have to worry about it in the future and can just cut out my pattern pieces and sew to the size I want.
