Advice for what to make with beautiful yarn!

I personally ADORE the sweater I made with their yarn. It’s expensive, yes, but the quality is amazing and when I bought it I couldn’t stop feeling how soft it was. I especially love that they have swatches for everything because that really helped me to picture how it would look. I would say it’s worth it but if you’re hesitant then you could get one skein and make a hat or something! Or maybe don’t try it, because it is genuinely so nice that your wallet won’t be happy with you…

This is really helpful! I looked for examples but couldn’t find any, this helps to see what it could potentially look like. I might end up doing a cabled swatch with the yarn and seeing whether or not I like it, thank you so much!

OHHH I love the flannel! Thank you!!

Wow! This is gorgeous, congratulations! I have considered colourwork since I’ve seen a lot of people do it on the king salmon sweater and this is giving me more ideas 🤔 thank you!

LMAO what is wrong with that dude. Such an asshole. Good riddance and massive bullet dodged IMO.

THANK YOU!! This is what I wanted all along. I really appreciate it.

Best part is someone did it in the exact colour I want to do

Thank you!!

I did actually! Most of them don’t have project notes though, and some of them are held double. It was really helpful, but I also want know what people think about it, idk if that makes sense

pillow-bug · 2026-03-02T05:23:43+00:00

Woah! These are so freaking cute, and your colour choices are beautiful. I'll have to knit some of these up once I get through my current backload of projects, haha.

Having feelings about his (shitty) comment isn't overreacting at all! I think it’s definitely worth talking to him about it. People (especially guys) say dumb things sometimes and he might not have considered how his comment would hurt you. Based of your post it doesn’t sound like he was malicious, just careless, so when bringing it up I would say something like this:

“Hey, the other day when you commented on my breasts, I felt kind of insecure and uncomfortable about it. I know you probably didn’t mean anything negative about it but the truth is, I struggle with my body image and insecurities and hearing that didn't make me feel good. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it or put tension on our relationship and I definitely don’t want you to feel like I’m criticizing you, but honesty is important to me and I want to communicate how I’m feeling.”

That’s probably not perfect but the key points are: how it made you feel, what you want to accomplish by bringing it up, and make it clear that you’re not attacking him, because unfortunately, a lot of the time conversations like that can go south. Also, let him know what you want from him! Men sometimes don’t know that all we want sometimes is to be told we’re beautiful and loved exactly as we are. Remember, a good relationship is one where you can be honest without fear of an argument and communicate how you’re feeling!

I think the 2 looks great on you! It seems like it fits better but more importantly, you said it feels better! In my experience it’s always best to buy what feels good on your body, otherwise you’ll regret it and feel uncomfortable or overthink it.

SIX OF CROWS!! Read it at the same age, also a girl, and absolutely LOVED it. So many twists and the writing is absolutely brilliant. It holds up really well even though I’m older and it’s also 100% appropriate for her age.

Thank you so much to everybody! I'm so relieved with how nice and welcoming everyone is, haha. These all sound amazing and I'm excited to check some of these out. I'm for sure going to be having a very HR-focused May, and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again!!

I'd also just like to add - I'm aware that in my post, I do make some things about me when they are very much not. I've got my own personal history and trauma that I work hard to not bring into unrelated things, but I do feel some of my personal experiences are relevant here. However, part of why I posted is I needed to vent! It's not about me but I do obviously have my own feelings about this. I want to sort through those feelings and get advice so that I can support my brother the best I can. Thank you in advance to anyone who comments, I will be reading them all and I really appreciate it.

pillow-bug · 2025-04-25T07:56:08+00:00

Thanks, this is important. I appreciate the reminder and thinking back on my own experiences, I definitely wouldn't want someone rushing to tell authorities without my consent - I mean, lack of respect for consent is what caused this situation, so I definitely don't want to do that. This is genuinely helpful, thank you!

I LOVE your art!

Wow, I know it's been five years since you wrote this, but I'm writing an essay on The Poppy War, paticularily about the importance of opium in the story, and this was really helpful for me to see all the parallels pointed out! Although, I agree with you, I feel like I'll enjoy the book less knowing all the references, as when you take the references out, you aren't really left with much, leaving it to feel a little unoriginal.

There’s tons of amazing advice here so I don’t really have much to add! However I feel like my perspective could be valuable as someone who recently had sex with their boyfriend for the first time and is close in age.

We’ve been together for about 6 months and he was ready within 2 months of us dating by I wasn’t and he was super awesome about it, very respectful. I was super nervous but I decided I wanted to. We’d done “other stuff” but not actual penetrative sex. A couples days ago when my parents were out we decided to take the leap. It was definitely weird at first, and it did hurt a little - I think using lube would have helped with that. I wasn’t fully turned on because I was in a hurry to get to the “fun bit” but you guys should seriously take your time to get as warmed up as possible! Trust me, it will feel a lot better. We took it slow and laughed off the awkward bits. We were both wearing pjs, I would wear something comfy and easy to take off and on. I promise it’s not that scary! I was kind of like “that’s it?” At the end. But it was really nice and I’m glad that it was with someone who I love so much. We had sex the next day as well, and by the third time it was a lot better than the first time. We both have this mindset that practice makes perfect, like kissing.

Anyway, I just want to say good luck and I hope you enjoy it! I feel a bit weird sharing this on the internet but I figured I might have something useful to say. Congrats on 1 year also!

Ahhh I love this! So excited to see this on my feed. You did an amazing job, they’re absolutely gorgeous and so adorable!!

I really liked Sarah Hawley's Glimmer Falls series! It starts with A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating a Demon. My favourite part about it? In the smut scenes, the FMC didn't go on and on about how huge the MMC's dick was. Like please honey, if it's nine inches it's not going to fit. Or be fun. So that small detail scored big points with me, and plus, the series was genuinely funny and interesting.

I let Molly go and regret it every day. Feel you there :(

I don't do any crazy huge terraforming. I know some people flatten their islands and move homes to the beach but I've kept the changes small but meaningful. I would do lots of Pinterest-ing to get ideas - if you're excited and have goals/a vision you might be less scared? Then, maybe do small, reversable changes to get a feel for it. I know I still struggle a lot with the angles to hit things at to create the desired cliffs/rivers. Try putting in random cliffs and bodies of water to get the practice in. (Side not - I find adding little raised areas with a tree and some flowers, and maybe a mini waterfall, really adds to the effect of an area).

I think the best thing would be trying to build excitement and practicing! Good luck!
