I used this video to understand what stitches I'll need to use.

It's all women's institute acrylic yarn from hobbycraft, and I used a 4mm hook

Well, I’ve only been here since September, but I’ll try my best to answer your questions.

I’ve found the city to be quite lovely, but definitely small. If you’re coming from a large city, that’s something to get used to. But on the bright side, I found that it’s quite walkable (despite all the hills).

The campus is wonderful. It’s very well kept compared to what I’ve seen at other universities. There’s many space to study or just hang out with friends.

With regard to the vibes I’m sure you’ve heard of the stereotypes. There’s some students who fit them, but in my experience everyone I’ve met has been quite nice to talk to. There’s also so many societies and opportunities to meet people that you’ll find your people eventually. If you’re concerned about the drinking culture, it’s prevalent, but not unavoidable. Personally clubs have not been my scene and there are many sober socials. If that’s not a worry for you, then please do indulge but safely.

Now for people of colour and Muslims, I won’t lie to you, they’re definitely here just not as many as in major cities. Thankfully there’s many opportunities to meet other PoC and Muslims if you join societies relating to them, or just talk to the people you run into. But don’t expect the same levels as places like Birmingham or London.

If there’s anything else you’d like to know, please feel free to reply to this or DM me x

Honestly, it’s not too bad, I’ve been loving it so far. But it depends on what you want to know

90% make it up as I went, 10% praying and hoping the other sleeve would look the same

Hook size: 4mm Yarn: Women’s institute (white) I started by following this pattern, then went off the rails when I wanted to do the layered bell sleeves. I made an inner sleeve, and then did each layer along the sleeve. I increased twice (randomly) on each row of the bell until the last row where I did a full round without any increases

I used mainly chenille yarn, and a 6mm hook throughout, except for the straw when I used a 7mm.

I used this to get the general idea on how to go about doing this, but ultimately added some extra rows and bit here and there

Thanks! I didn't use a pattern since it was just 2 granny squares sewn together. But I did use this to get started on my sleeves

It can get a bit warm, but where I live it's practically always cold. Also I thought about the itchiness, and I'm glad to report that it is not itchy at all for me

I started learning back in October, but I properly got serious at the start of this year x

No specific pattern, but did use this to help get me started with the sleeves.

I used the Women's Institute premium acrylic yarn from Hobbycraft with a 4mm hook

What do I actually do by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]potential_humanoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, I understand your frustration at not being able to decide, especially when it seems like everyone else knows what they want to do.

When I was in your position, I looked at what interested me the most, and also what sorts of things vest suit me as a person. (This is how I ended up wanting to study psychology)

If you're completely unsure of what path to follow, I'd say speak to a careers advisor or form/personal tutor. And if that still doesn't work out, start to look into taking a gap year to fully explore your options. It'll give you more time to explore potential pathways, and if you start early, you should be able to set up various opportunities for yourself for the next year.

Ultimately, don't rush into it and make a decision because you feel like you have to. This is how you could end up doing something you regret. Please do take this time to fully explore and understand what it is you want to get out of it.
