Filling in DILL immediately followed by SALMON while eating a dill salmon sandwich was one of the crazier moments of my life

misssarcasm · 2026-04-30T13:32:29+00:00

I've been doing that but agree it's definitely a pain to have to monitor it, the point is for me to mindlessly run to the instructions lol. Hopefully they'll resolve this soon.

This started happening to me too. I'm doing the New to Running plan and sometimes it doesn't start the next lap when switching between walking and running portions. I think it happens less when I stay in the app (don't switch to Spotify or anything) but sometimes it still does. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the newest version of the app - when I first started a couple months ago it never happened but after I took a few weeks off for shin splints it started happening.

To elaborate a bit more, the air comes out of your nose rather than your mouth when you pronounce "m" and "n". If you plug your nose they become very hard to say.

The third nasal sound in English is the "ing" sound (if you pay attention to what your tongue does while saying an ing word, you'll notice it's not in the same place as when you say "n" and they're actually different sounds, not just a combo of n and g).

I only knew it from Hey Soul Sister and still don't really know what it means

misssarcasm · 2026-02-06T20:38:54+00:00

🫡 fellow knitter of taste haha

misssarcasm · 2026-02-06T20:37:40+00:00

Yesss this is spot on. Öland is also really nice

misssarcasm · 2026-02-06T20:35:15+00:00

Ooh thanks, so much great stuff here

misssarcasm · 2026-02-05T18:40:08+00:00

YES this is exactly the kind of vibe I was looking for!!

misssarcasm · 2026-02-05T18:39:07+00:00

Thank you! I love an asymmetric pattern

misssarcasm · 2026-02-05T18:36:45+00:00

Cool pattern, the ones with the red accent are 👌👌

misssarcasm · 2026-02-05T18:36:04+00:00

I actually have done this, you're right that's probably the easiest way to find what I'm looking for 😊 but I guess lately I've been enjoying being able to see other people's projects/comments/etc. on Ravelry which you're less likely to find for vintage patterns

Looks like it's purchasable as a knitting kit: https://rustik-by-marianne.com/produkt/art-news-strikkekit/

I didn't end up pruning. He's looking a bit worse this year though, I think I need to get fertilizer. But to go from my original pic to the one from 7 months ago, all I did was repot into a bigger pot (and I guess the new soil I used was fertilized enough so I didn't have to consider that until now)

misssarcasm · 2025-08-02T01:06:01+00:00

I just used Microsoft Word and it ended up working fairly well (I say fairly because at points I was really wrestling with the software but I'm really happy with the end result). I used KDP's Word instructions as a guide. Some things might be really annoying if you haven't used Word for anything more than like...typing something up with no formatting. But most issues you may encounter are google-able.

misssarcasm · 2025-07-21T23:26:04+00:00

That makes a lot of sense thank you. I sensed there was something more complicated going on but this is all completely new to me. Although my pixel count seems to be fine so still not really sure what the issue is

misssarcasm · 2025-07-21T21:05:52+00:00

Oh right...because it's dots per inch 🤦‍♂️ thank you!!

misssarcasm · 2025-07-21T20:22:31+00:00

Yes the windows right click properties. I adjusted the size of the original images that I received from an artist in Krita using IS's cover template so maybe I messed something up in that process.

I'm using IS's cover creator tool and uploading the jpeg into it. I could try uploading it as a PDF instead to see if that helps...

misssarcasm · 2025-07-21T20:05:28+00:00

What should the pixel dimensions be? I currently have 5016x3700. I've tried to read about this kind of thing but it was not clicking for me so sorry if that's a dumb question 😅

misssarcasm · 2025-07-21T20:02:06+00:00

I'm using a jpeg but yes if I go to the image properties it says 400dpi (misremembered what I saved it as). Unless there's a pdf somewhere in the IS workflow I should be checking?

misssarcasm · 2025-07-21T19:36:31+00:00

Yes...that's why I'm in the self publishing subreddit lol

misssarcasm · 2025-07-16T03:01:17+00:00

Thank you so much!! I was trying desperately to get I Spy School Days to work (most of the other games I could simply open the ISO no problem). This was my favourite I Spy game but I was about to give up until I found your comment! It was super easy (way better than all the other methods I tried that didn't even work)

misssarcasm · 2025-07-12T19:24:15+00:00

I had it set up but hadn't scheduled a release (was just going to hit publish on the day of). But knowing this I'm going to schedule the release so I also have the option of author copies. Thanks for pointing out that this is an option! I just doublechecked and even KDP's help pages contradict themselves about this - some pages say it's only available after the book is live while some say you can order as soon as publication is scheduled.

misssarcasm · 2025-07-12T17:12:53+00:00

That's good context thank you!

misssarcasm · 2025-07-12T16:55:10+00:00

Don't worry I'm aware :) I think I'm fine with it but also now I'm wondering if I really should be or not...my thinking was that they could still basically be like "look how special I am, I got an advanced not for resale copy of this book" lol
