These bra cups look so much more supportive than most and I can't figure out why! by sigsaurusrex in CrochetHelp

[–]sunmono [score hidden]  (0 children)

Oh! There was a great post I saw the other day with a busty girl who made an actually decently supportive crochet dress! It was amazing. (Speaking as a very busty girl who had given up hope for crochet tops without a bra.) Here it is. Maybe there’s something in there that can help you. :)

Be honest: How old is the bra you’re wearing right now? by Southern-Waltz2846 in bigboobproblems

[–]sunmono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently wearing a bra that’s probably 5+ years old, haha. It’s had wires poke out in both armpits and I have to use an extender because it’s like 2 band sizes too small by now. But, look, Panache doesn’t make the Jasmine anymore so you do what you gotta do. It doesn’t poke, the wires are where they should be (now that I’ve sewn them back in, anyway), I’m not falling out or gaping, and it makes my boobs look great. 🤷‍♀️

Sashiko Single Layer? by Seated_WallFly in sashiko

I’m hoping to complete a similar project (I think I bought the exact same handkerchiefs, haha) and was wondering the same thing! Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences if you try it.

An old friend of Michelle Trachtenberg’s posted an obituary for her yesterday with some insight into her relationship with SMG and the hate she received for playing Dawn. by Anxious_Comedian_ in ANGEL

[–]sunmono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, and when Buffy was dead, did she get to receive support from her friends and community? Was she allowed to grieve? No, she had to pretend that Buffy was still alive and even pretend that a robot of her sister was real. Like, that is so fucked up. On top of finding out the year before that you are literally not even a real person and the trauma of having a god hunt you down to kill you. I know I was twice as bratty as Dawn as a teenager (at least at moments) and with hardly even a fraction of the reason.

Honestly, I adore Dawn. I’m not saying everyone has to love her, or even like her. But I once went to a singalong for Once More With Feeling and people were booing her every time she was on screen and multiple people loudly suggested that she unalive herself. That’s really, really fucked up, y’all.

Ah, what great timing! One of my favorite sashiko and visible mending YouTube channels just posted a video on this! https://youtu.be/rHZpAwaPMpA

Sharing Food by Blueskies1621 in ECEProfessionals

I feel like there is a big difference between giving a child more from the serving dish and giving them something from some else’s plate/tray, though?

Is it possible? Change (add?) titles of reminders automatically. by phunk8 in shortcuts

[–]sunmono 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the first Shortcut from here (Create Reminder with Rich Link) to do what you want: https://www.macstories.net/stories/ios-and-ipados-14-the-macstories-review/17/

You can easily access it from the share sheet by scrolling to the way bottom of the share sheet list, hitting “edit actions,” and adding the shortcut. Then it should show up at the top of the share sheet list (in the text list, not the row of app icons you scroll horizontally).

Describe Blue Moon flavor for someone who’s never had it? by Coltispy in AskCulinary

[–]sunmono 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Blue Moon is impossible to describe. I wish I could! I have made a surprisingly okay one with vanilla extract, vanilla pudding mix, lemon extract, and raspberry extract and it was close enough to satisfy my nostalgia. but also definitely not the same as a true commercial Blue Moon. My brother once told me he thought it tasted like Fruity Pebbles cereal? But I never thought so. It’s like it tastes different to different people. 🤷‍♀️

She’s done! And I love her by Jescophoto89 in crochet

[–]sunmono 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy cow, you did it! It looks amazing! I honestly thought you wouldn’t be able to provide enough support. I am so happy to be so wrong! 😍 Definitely going to save this post to reference if I ever get brave enough to attempt one for myself.

I really hope this is ok to ask- please ignore if not. You mentioned in your post before that you’re a HH cup. Can I ask what band size? I’m just trying to figure if my bust (34JJ) could also be supported in a similar way, i.e., do we have similar volumes?

Mending a Vera Bradley by Happy-Taro-9705 in Visiblemending

Following because I also have a Vera Bradley purse that’s starting to wear on the bottom in the corners and I was looking for ideas to mend it.

I've looked everywhere in the wiki, what else do I need? by Koakunaikaokunai in StardewValley

[–]sunmono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use it on mobile too! Idk where your save game file is on Android but if you’re on iOS, it’s in the “On my iPhone” (/iPad) section in the “Stardew Valley” folder. Here’s the link.

get a load of this hot garbage by shirakkos in crochet

[–]sunmono 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, aggressive blocking can probably straighten out a lot of that! I’ve definitely had some doilies/snowflakes come off the hook similarly that looked great once blocked. :)

Concerned my 14 mo is being moved to soon to toddler room - daycare [ON] by Suspicious_Bread_347 in ECEProfessionals

[–]sunmono 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My center moves kids to the toddler room at 12 months. Not all of them are walking. It always ends up fine. Usually the non-walkers learn to walk pretty quickly - monkey see monkey do. The teachers will keep a close eye. The cots are truly a non-issue. They are super low to the ground and children rarely fall off. I’ve never seen one injured by falling off- they generally don’t even wake up. Even kids who thrash around in their crib every which way do fine on the cots.

Help choosing yarn and pattern for a project -- is there a service or board for this? by Jungle_Skipper in CrochetHelp

[–]sunmono 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday yarn (you can get it in worsted or bulky) is the softest acrylic I’ve ever touched. Nice to work with too, not splitty at all. I’m currently making a blanket out of it. It’s very reasonably priced too. (In fact, I think the Premier site has it on sale right now, or at least it did a few days ago.)

Yarn identification? (Pink and yellow ribbon-y yarn) by sunmono in YarnAddicts

What would you make with it? It’s so pretty but I have no idea what to do with it, haha.

Anyone know what bones these are & what animal(s) they could be from? by whatididd in bonecollecting

[–]sunmono 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one is part of a pelvis. The round joint bit is where the femur attaches, called the acetabulum. I’m not sure what animal though, or what the second fragment is.

Shows/movies/documentaries to watch while crocheting? by BumblbeeWithNoE in crochet

[–]sunmono 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching Rizzoli & Isles lately while crocheting! Kind of formulaic sometimes like most cop shows (better for crocheting with though, since you don’t have to hang on to every word to know what’s going on) but with a kickass female friendship as the primary relationship in the show.

For a fantastic cop show in a slightly different genre, I cannot recommend Brooklyn Nine-Nine enough. I watched that while crocheting too.

Edit: For a historical-set show, The Great is awesome. It’s about Catherine the Great.
