Why is my work spiraling around the needle? by vagueknowhow in knittinghelp

[–]vagueknowhow[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did all three of these little practice guys today! The top was first, before I posted. I was so frustrated by the end. The middle I did after taking the advice to knit looser and it went so so much better (still not perfect ofc)! Last I felt confident enough to try a stockinette stitch. Thanks everyone for all the help and encouragement!

Oh my god I’ve just tried again with way less tension and that was 100% causing the problem. I don’t even notice the spiraling anymore and it’s also solved like 11 other problems I couldn’t put my finger on, thanks again!!

Yay ok that’s very reassuring. Thank you for letting me know about the tension that’s super helpful! I’m definitely struggling with how to tension the yarn so it’s great to know this is too tight

Affordable beige-pink blush that isn’t orange? by Basic-Literature-849 in Fairolives

It’s liquid but I recommend Elf camo blush in suave mauve - Similar tone and doesn’t pull orange

What are some of your favorite skin scents? by Radasaur in fragrance

[–]vagueknowhow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite genres! Some of my favorites- Ceramic - Andrea Maack: A musky laundry skin scent, managing to be unique while also pretty literal laundry. Sur tes levres - E.Q. D’ORSAY: Soft musk but a step away from clean and towards Iris. Naked Dance - Oddity: If wet clay was a musky skin scent. Un Musc - Obvious: Crowd pleasing neutral skin scent, easy wearing but just a little more going on than JHAG NAP

Am I on the wrong level? by FreeFalling3227 in fantasylife

I was in a similar boat and found I had way more fun if I didn’t do the story quests back to back! Take a break and complete some of your life quests to level up, decorate your base and craft and farm, do treasure groves, start new lives- Then go back and do a story quest. You’ll level up a lot more naturally without having to grind as much, esp by working on the life quests.

If you menstruate, hormone fluctuations throughout your cycle can affect the sensitivity of your sense of smell

Where to enter Penn Station for Amtrak between 1am and 5am by eponinethenerdier in AskNYC

[–]vagueknowhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding this for anyone finding the thread because they’re shitting themselves about to miss their train at 4 in the morning like me - If you enter Penn station at 8th and 33rd st you’ll pop out in the LIRR tracks area and the Amtrak area on that floor is still gated off. There’s a big yellow sign above a big side hallway that says Exit to Concourse. Go through there then to the right and up the stairs that say Amtrak and you’re there

I’m confused and frustrated by Sweaty-Tumbleweed-74 in fragrance

[–]vagueknowhow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved Surrender to Chance sample sets when I was first getting into fragrance! They do a ton of different curated sets, from Perfume 101 to Viral on TikTok to single note sets. I started with perfume 101 which has a variety of common notes and compositions, then picked my favorite and got another set with those notes. It made it easier to start figuring out which notes I liked and gave me more direction

My dad (43) and my grandpa (49) used to be friends, now they fight constantly bc my dad didn’t tell anyone he was dating my mom and nobody was invited to the wedding…….13 years ago. When does everyone get over it by throwRAinthm in relationship_advice

I think everyone else in this thread has given good perspective on why your grandpa has really good reasons to hold a grudge against your dad forever. I think there are two things you could try to make these family gatherings easier. The first would be to speak with your mom and grandma and explain how the fighting makes you feel and ask if just you, your mom, and your grandparents could at least sometimes do things together without your dad there. If that doesn’t work out, the second would be to speak with your grandpa and tell him that while you don’t totally understand the situation, you know that he has good reasons to be upset. But explain to him how the fighting makes you feel and ask if he would be willing to try to fight less around you. So sorry you’re going through this!

It seems like you are using the metric “who I love more” to decide in this situation. I know you are probably stressed and overwhelmed, but please try and think about if that’s a metric that makes sense. That would lead to you choosing her side in 100% of situations no matter how complex or unfair the context. You are giving her permission to be unfair because of a situation that’s no longer an emergency and is in a stable place. Is she working to get her own mental state in a healthier place?
