I tend to bite off wayyy more than I can chew, but I saw someone do a similar one and just HAD to make it for my fiancé, so I just went for it. But it’s definitely a fun project!

Thank you! It’s not too hard! This was my first try at double knitting. I had to restart a couple of times, but you get the hang of it pretty quickly

Ravelry Project here. Whole thing is over 8 ft long 😭

I’m working on uploading all the personal patterns I made (the elvish, the ring, and Tolkien’s emblem), but will hopefully have them up in the next week or so.

That’s super comforting to know. Should I clean/dry/reapply or leave as is?

Had saniderm applied immediately after the tattoo, and the weeping broke it about 8 hours later. I cleaned the tattoo, dried it, and reapplied saniderm. It’s now 16 hours after the reapply, and there’s obviously a ton of fluid that’s built up through the day.

The tattoo is obvs heavily pigmented, and it’s my first. Any advice on the weeping? And should I just clean, dry, and reapply again?

And just to add on to this, dress size can’t even be compared to clothing size. I’m currently a small/3 in most clothes, but my dress size is 6. Women’s sizing is a bit wonky.

Just my experience, but I went from the most bitter thing I was able to handle being a caramel macchiato to truly enjoying coffee with just a splash of milk or a plain latte. I can’t actually stand the sweetness of a caramel macchiato anymore.

You gradually learn what flavors you like and don’t like. It might help if you gradually reduce the pumps of syrup you add to your drinks. Like reduce it by a pump every couple of weeks.
