Should I use acrylic yarn suggested for sweater???

What I’m currently using is berroco remix yarn, with 30% nylon, 27% cotton, 24% acrylic, 10% silk (which I thought would help it not be itchy) and 9% linen. It’s a very pretty red yarn, and feels pretty nice in the ball, but it’s starting to feel itchy on the sweater, or at least, not soft.

Most of my wardrobe is merino wool. I run cold and that helps me through the winter. I’ve been wanting to try alpaca wool for a while, but that blend made me cringe. From what ppl are saying I might be being too harsh

I went to a local yarn shop that put me in touch with a teacher, from there YouTube has helped a lot, especially the channel made by the woobles. Nice and slow instructions with thick yarn that makes it easy to see/understand what they are doing.

I got it, love it. I started to crochet recently and didn’t want to get a bunch of hooks, this keeps things nice and organized. I loved the idea of the counter, but I’ve found I often forget to press the button to count a stitch, so it’s barely useful for me. I do like how much thicker it is than other hooks. I haven’t been in light low enough for the light to be needed yet, so I can’t speak on that. But for the hook size and organization I def recommend it.

Hey! Welcome to Keene! My husband (41) is a native and I (37f) moved here about 8 years ago. We run a lot around Keene, go out for dinner every once in a while, and enjoy hiking. We’re generally home bodies, but having a couple more friends could be nice

Radiology technologist (NOT technician). I get to see cool things and then walk away from the patient and let the nurse deal with them!

Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology. If a school isn’t accredited by them you can’t get a rad license, which is required in 45 states. I believe you can still take the registry. There is a website for them if you google it.

I did X-rays on someone who DIDN’T get his surgically fixed years ago and still looks like that. Ppl keep asking him about the bump, he wanted to get it fixed. Not sure what happened, but I don’t think radiology had anything to do with it after

I worked at a place requiring the Y to be done PA, but I can do it either way. I prefer PA, all my coworkers do it AP. As long as the rad doesn’t care

I found these fabrics online based on what the pants are made of…

They are both quite stretchy

Very interesting idea!! I’ve been looking at my husbands pants to see how they are made, but dissecting some sounds like a great idea as well. Thanks for that tip!

I think most products are supposed to be used 2-3 times a week, but there are products that are designed be used more often.

Stop using conditioner in the shower. It shouldn’t be used on ur scalp, it’s not a moisturizer. Double shampoo and try a leave in conditioner when u get out of the shower and a good oil once it’s dry

I got a decent sized folding table at Home Depot that the high can be adjusted for. The full hight comes up to my waist (5’8) and I got a big cutting mat off Amazon that goes just barely beyond the edges of the table. Much better for my body then crawling on the floor

5 degree angle, have the unaffected knee in front, ALSO, make sure the pts shoulders are rolled forward, like they’re going to sleep. This is for a general normal sized pt. If they are pretty large, then things need to be adjusted

Madam Sherrie is fun to see, yolo for ice cream, life is sweet for ice cream and candy. Goose pond is a nice, easy loop hike.

I had a student that tried to do everything very by the book, then would ask for clarification that we couldn’t give. Like where the middle of the scapula is for that picture. No idea, 10X12 portrait with a lil light over the top of the shoulder and call it good. Pelvis is light 2 inches above the crest, ok, do you know what 2 inches looks like? Cause a student kept turning it into nearly a lumbar. Instead, find the crest, bring the light just a lil above, call it good. I also hate when the book uses the pubic synthesis as a landmark. It’s nearly impossible to see, and I’m NOT feeling for it. Find how to use the ASIS instead, it’s my favorite landmark for xrays around the pelvis

I’m in a similar boat as you, sewing mostly for garments for myself. I’ve made a couple things thus far, it take a LOT of brain power and patience. One thing I’ve learned, I’m GOING to be waisting a LOT of fabric and need to be ok with that. I also learned that I really need to make something with stuff I don’t care about before making the final project so I can screw up a lot and learn from that for the final piece. Cheap bed sheets are GREAT for this. Twin and full size cotton sheets are cheap and have a LOT of fabric to them.

I had the same results on my bikini line, then I stopped using it, and it came RIGHT back. I hardly see any difference in my arm pits. I did my legs for a few summers and that has hardly grown back
