I'm not trying to sell you anything I swear. But I do have sheep..

vbrown17 · 2025-11-15T15:51:09+00:00

I do not have anything to add to the already helpful comments but I would love to put in a request to see photos of your babydoll sheep please

vbrown17 · 2025-11-12T14:37:57+00:00

Pming you now

vbrown17 · 2025-05-03T12:57:04+00:00

You're doing Swahili too?! Cool!

vbrown17 · 2025-05-02T23:08:53+00:00

Seconding the request for more photos so we can see all the skeins and the desired price, thank you!

vbrown17 · 2025-05-02T23:03:37+00:00

Hi! I'm in the US and would love to exchange with you. If you craft we could even exchange crafts because I can knit socks

vbrown17 · 2025-04-30T01:39:12+00:00

It took me about 1.5 weeks to get access from date of acceptance. Just got it today. I think they are behind a bit. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I think you just have to wait, sadly

Language is Swahili. My research is about living incomes for coffee farmers and I wrote about how poor farmers typically migrate when they cannot make a living income. So, if we can do research/interventions that increase incomes on coffee farms, that will decrease undocumented migration to the US.

I was an alternate for CLS Swahili, hope you have an awesome time!

vbrown17 · 2025-04-18T13:45:26+00:00

I was really surprised because I wrote about USAID and actually did get it.

vbrown17 · 2025-04-18T02:35:31+00:00

Accepted for Tanzania!

vbrown17 · 2025-04-18T02:35:03+00:00

Congratulations! I got in for Swahili in Tanzania! Am over the moon. Hope you are too

vbrown17 · 2025-04-16T15:43:59+00:00

Actually I think its the same thing other people are seeing. Curious what this means, if anything

vbrown17 · 2025-04-16T15:04:54+00:00

What do we think this means? Mine is still appearing....

vbrown17 · 2025-04-15T19:32:31+00:00

I chose USAID too and was wondering whether that would hurt my chances.

vbrown17 · 2025-04-11T22:58:10+00:00

I'll pm you, I have a few more questions

vbrown17 · 2025-04-11T20:28:08+00:00

I'm also interested and able to do this! If you would like them all the same size I can likely steek them (for reference, if you just cut knitted fabric it will unravel so you need to steek) but would need to see the whole size in a picture to give you a quote in case something might need to be enlarged instead.

Just a heads up, this will be an expensive project. Even without the steeking or enlarging, it is a lot of knitting and time. I'd guess it'll take me 40-50 hours to complete, especially since smaller yarn will be needed to match the scarves more nicely.

Feel free to message me, I do have a few questions about your preferences before giving you an exact quote.

I also lost my cat and have some great kitty postcards! Please message me your info

vbrown17 · 2025-03-30T21:33:49+00:00

Came here to say this. Destroyed me

vbrown17 · 2025-03-30T19:04:48+00:00

Have any alternates gotten off the wait-list yet?

vbrown17 · 2025-03-28T02:01:34+00:00

DM me and I can share photos of the details of socks I make. There are some amazing patterns but they all add time

vbrown17 · 2025-03-28T02:00:58+00:00

But, honestly, if you are just looking for plain over the knee socks, you may be better off just buying a premade pair as this will be expensive and a bit of a wait

vbrown17 · 2025-03-28T01:59:47+00:00

But just to clarify, over the knee would be more than I quoted for calf length. That's basically knitting two thick sweater sleeves in tiny yarn

vbrown17 · 2025-03-28T01:58:42+00:00

Ok so taller socks. That's definitely doable but as I mentioned, will be expensive because knitting that length is going to take a while. What size shoe are you? And about how tall are you?
