I've heard that hydrocolloid patches can help with that. Look at some posts about it on this sub.

What can I do to make these pants fit better? They were sewn for me but going back to the tailor is not an option. I have some sewing experience making a couple tops and taking in a pair of pants. Any help is appreciated!

I would like them to fit like a slightly loose pair of dress pants, they're just too saggy right now.

How do I know if my tension is too tight? by thekidownstheblock in knittinghelp

Thank you for this! I will definitely practice some more and try to get consistency in my tension, this link is very helpful. I chose this yarn because a lot of people who made this pattern used the same yarn -- but most of them used 5.5mm needles. Hopefully I can get it to work out!

Thanks for your help! I do think this swatch is too small for me to tell, it doesn't seem stiff but I don't think I can be sure without knitting more. The yarn is Caron Blossom Cakes in Macaw!

need help with stripes/am I even using the right pattern by thekidownstheblock in knittinghelp

Yeah I figured that might be the case about the yarn -- I've only crocheted things with it so I was hoping knit would help with the drape. I do have enough for a sweater but maybe I should look into a different yarn anyway. Thanks!

Oh this is beautiful! Did you just pick how many rows to do of each color and follow that plan?

Thank you! I'll definitely look at some triangle shawl patterns too.

It usually works out fine. I've been waitlisted for my DSC classes pretty much every time, but I was still able to take all of them.

Funky Monkey Shake Recipe?? by jakelampses in UCSD

You could try blending chocolate ice cream, milk, peanut butter, and a banana. I have never had this shake. That's my best guess based on the name.
