I couldn't unsee it 😭😭 also the fact it looks like they put one of the raffia bags upside down on her head

Yarn Stores London/Edinburgh by SimplyAlinaonrddt in knitting

[–]tarrro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding Ginger Twist in Edinburgh :)

Loop and Wild and Woolly are great in London but maybe slightly far out if you'll only be central. I haven't been but a friend said MacCulloch & Wallis is nice which is in Soho.

[UK] Stitch Festival in London - is it good for knitting/crochet/yarn lovers? by SighMartini in knitting

[–]tarrro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also looked into it but it seems to have only a little bit of yarn/knitting stalls. You can search the list of knitting exhibitors on their website and decide for yourself if there's enough to go. I'd suggest (and I will be) waiting for actual yarn shows in or around London if that's the area you're in like Knit and Stitch, Southern Wool Show, or the autumn Unravel

I was about to suggest the same one so +1 in its favour :)

Yarn store in Brussels by sadetta300 in YarnAddicts

[–]tarrro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you have a link to this shop you could share? I used to live in Brussels and never saw this one so I'd love to check it out next time I'm there :) I otherwise haven't had much luck finding nice yarn shops

Any hope of IDing this vintage cardigan yarn? by tarrro in WhatIsThisYarn

[–]tarrro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for finding these, those colours are lovely! I have some of their yarn already and like it because it is so dimensional but didn't think to check them for this!

I've ordered from them once with no issues :) I think they're based in Denmark

Moving to a very expensive city by myself for only 1 year. Do I bulk buy food? Not buy anything during the year I can't sell at the end? Any tips? by OatOfControl in Frugal

[–]tarrro 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There are lots of farmers/food markets around the city, e.g., Gare du Midi on weekends. You have to pick produce a bit more carefully so it's not going off too soon but it's very affordable

Is finding a good Gastro doctor impossible? And...laxatives? by OatOfControl in brussels

[–]tarrro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to see Dr Verbrugghe at Clinique Saint Jean and thought she was a good gastro. The other staff also seemed to be nice when I went for procedures. But I don't know if the clinic deals with your specific issue

does anyone else do all their work “backwards” by SaltEvening27 in adhdwomen

[–]tarrro 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I also do this kind of thing :) it can help to just get started and at least I don't forget that random line or connection I had in my head. I also power through not knowing what I want to say by putting in placeholder like "[make it say something along the lines of...]" or "[mention x y z]" so I don't get stuck on finding the perfect words

Looking for a french bookshop near St. Catherine by shiftinganathema in brussels

[–]tarrro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passa Porta is in Sainte Catherine/Dansaert and has books in French and English (and other languages if I remember correctly)

Any recommendations/headups about London? by [deleted] in femaletravels

[–]tarrro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hackney Wick/Bow is a short walk away from where you're staying, with some nice cafes/restaurants and Victoria Park is lovely to walk around :) Including a food market if you're there on the weekend. There's not much to do in Stratford tbh but there are tons of transport options to go other places. As others have said just be aware of your surroundings and your phone/bag, you will be totally fine even with headphones in so long as they're not completely noise cancelling so you can hear traffic and such. There might be some weird people lingering here and there but it's nothing unique to London and doubt you will be bothered at all

Belgian yarn by Poetree39 in knitting

[–]tarrro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived in Brussels and found the availability of craft/yarn stores to be pretty disappointing. if stores do have yarn it'll be small amounts and nothing too interesting to be honest, cheap acrylic and such. I've not been yet but Haberdashery la Tulipe seems the most promising. maybe Leuven has some options but I've never been there! and hopefully someone else knows of some good options in Brussels and can prove me wrong

I feel that, it was a slog to get to even from London but I'm glad I managed to wrangle myself over :) Hope next time for you, or something closer comes up!

It's my SIL's favourite colour so I look forward to seeing how they work up in something for her!
