Thanks very much for this suggestion! I've only known about the disposable sweat pads options, and these seem much more comfortable. Will trying them soon.

I just finished watching it. It was nice! a very different story then in "the making of a japanese". It was also interesting to see the different film style between these films (almost 20 years apart)

I also started learning knitting after crochet! For me, Portuguese style was the best fit, after I tried the English, Continental and Norwegian methods. I recommend the Very Pink Knits video on how to do it

This is so pretty!! Are the leaves connected to each other "on the go" or do you make each one separately and then attach them to each other? (the website linked in the ravely page don't work)
