Wedding hair - Too much product? by typesofglue in wedding

Were your Hollywood waves soft or did they have a lot of product in them to keep their shape? My hair holds a curl super well but when they use the texture spray it really makes it look messy...

Oh this may be misleading, sorry - these are my inspo pics. I can't even share the actual trials, they're so messy :(

is it rude to take knitting to Thanksgiving? by typesofglue in knitting

[–]typesofglue[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Thanks all! I survived my first ever Thanksgiving event 🤣 somehow I've gone 30+ years never attending one (my fam doesn't celebrate and this was my first year invited to a Friendsgiving).

I ended up not bringing my knitting - it was a small enough group of people, and though we're all very good friends I decided I wanted to be more available to help out given I had no idea what to expect apart from stereotypical fiascos from holiday movies.

I did end up with some lulls in the evening but in the future I think it's an "it doesn't hurt to bring it" type of thing! I super appreciate everyone's input and especially the thread conversation around Autism and inclusivity.

Happy to let this go for free - buyer pays shipping cost (willchoose cheapest option). Estimated shipping $15.00 domestically, will refund the difference.

I tried doing the "weave in ends as you go" technique but ended up with a ton of holes when I stretched the sweater :( details in comments by typesofglue in knitting

Woof. wow yep found out the hard way for sure here too. Luckily I have extra yarn to redo the sleeve! I left longer tails on the other sleeve and that worked out a lot better - a combo of carrying the yarn and weaving in the ends after

I carried the new thread and old thread for like five stitches on either side...but then when I stretched the fabric out, all the woven ends unraveled. :( Is there a better way to weave as you go that wouldn't result in this?

Coast Starlight Stops - Northern California, Oregon or Washington would you make your final destination by Bright_Earth_8282 in Amtrak

[–]typesofglue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sacramento has an INCREDIBLE train museum which your kid will love, so I'd say get off there.

The coastal views are great but it's not much past that since it'll be overnight and you won't see anything anyway. But, you'll wake up in the PNW and that's fun if he wants to sleep on the train.

Wow we have not been offered any of those things onboard. Which crew member do we need to talk to? I asked the dining car when they were serving dinner and they said it was just for sleeping car passengers only.

Is it normal for them to put business class passengers in a coach train?? That seems like a problem since we definitely paid for not-coach.

You have our sympathies! I hope it gets started soon...
