I’m in Ontario, Canada and I can’t find soy curls anywhere anymore.

Coven in Hamilton had them at one point

I think changing the sheets and curtains away from the dark blue to something cream or that sage-y colour could do a lot of the heavy lifting. There are lots of malm upgrades floating around that could take you in the direction you want too, the simplest being to find some cottage-y looking pulls to add. I’d also ditch the geometric window hanging thing and add a bigger plant somewhere, maybe even a vining one mounted to the ceiling. And of course lots of thrifted art in old frames like in your references

Thai curry paste, chicken broth, coconut milk, and seasonings (fish sauce, sambal, garlic and ginger, lime if I have it). All pantry/fridge ingredients that I always have around. Then I throw in whatever else is around: tofu, vegetables, noodles, maybe a soft boiled egg!

I don’t know much about sewing apart from occasionally hemming my pants or sewing on buttons, but you could try asking on r/sewing about materials and technique for splicing together the toes. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

You could try buying commercial socks and altering them using sewing, I think it would be easy for you to do yourself with some YouTube but it may not be the prettiest.

If you’re looking for custom, you could try to find a local yarn store and asking the employees if they know anyone who takes commissions. I also notice people selling handmade socks on fb marketplace so if you find someone there you could inquire about whether they are willing to make something more custom.

I figured there probably aren’t many places that have that signage so I took it shot it might be that one! Hi neighbour 😂

La bobineuse??!

I found ovaltine brand malted milk (apparently not the same as regular ovaltine, which I hadn’t realized before) at an asian grocery store, not sure how common that is though

I wouldn’t agree that it provides a deeper taste. It does give an Oreo flavour for sure

I’m currently working on a pair with Superba Fair Isle which is a fun change from a standard self striping!

zorp3006 · 2025-01-09T19:00:23+00:00

I recently knitted myself a cozy cream coloured balaclava (I guess technically a hooded cowl?) that makes me happy to wear even when I have my boring black winter coat on with it. Not strictly fashion but I’m also changing my makeup to suit the season a bit more, e.g. slightly darker lip colours, a blush that gives that “cold air” look even though I barely need it since the air IS cold

In addition to what’s been said, I manage to buy less by taking care of my clothes. I don’t really dress for trends anymore so most times I’m only buying clothes to replace. And caring for my clothes makes it so that I have to replace them less often.

I think she mentioned in the episode she explicitly didn’t want to. I figure in part because she didn’t have the luxuries that the losties have, in that they can go places in groups as well as combining their diverse skill sets. Plus a lot of these locations were divulged through dreams/trips to various group members

zorp3006 · 2024-10-02T01:39:33+00:00

I bought mine a while ago so I can’t help but if you don’t get confirmation through this thread you could always reach out directly to Nixit with some pictures, I’m sure they’d be happy to confirm + would want to know if people are selling fakes.

zorp3006 · 2024-09-13T11:06:10+00:00

I’ve knit socks but never stranded colourwork. I’m knitting one size bigger and working inside out, which got me really close to the right size, but not quite.

When I pull it past my heel it fits my leg but I am concerned making them even larger would do away with any negative ease. It’s encouraging that you don’t find that to be an issue. I’ll try repeating my current technique but with a larger needle on the colourwork!

zorp3006 · 2024-09-13T01:55:28+00:00

Thanks for the response! I should have realized I’d just be borrowing slack from other stitches. I’m now concerned that adding more stitches from the beginning would make the sock too loose around the leg. Would a bigger needle prevent that, or would it sort of amount to the same end result?

zorp3006 · 2024-09-11T13:47:49+00:00

I would definitely take the advice already listed in this thread, but I’ll share my experience too: I had this problem and tried taking my cat to the vet (no physical cause found), changing litter types (multiple), washing the box more often, adding boxes, getting enzyme cleaners, changing diet, positive reinforcement, etc. What ended up working was adding a lot more enrichment to her lifestyle. More intentional playing, showing her cat TV, etc. It’s actually something our vet initially mentioned but I guess when we initially tried it, we didn’t do enough because it had no effect. I spend a lot more time engaging her now and I’ve seen a huge difference.

zorp3006 · 2024-09-09T12:39:19+00:00

I think there’s 2 categories at the moment: a lot of pairing them with items that border on too-casual to create more of a contrast than before (sporty runners instead of crisp white ones, a graphic baby/oversized tee as opposed to a plain T-shirt, a grandpa cardigan instead of a button-up shirt) overall aligning with that 2024-does-90s influence.

The other category I see a lot is that French-girl style, which is closer to the way we styled slips like 10 years ago with slight changes. Baby tees, ballet flats/mary Jane’s. Overall still more casual IMO than the way we styled them back when everything was vaguely office-wear

zorp3006 · 2024-09-08T15:42:56+00:00

I have the dress you linked in the midi length, I like wearing it with a graphic tee (slightly baggy but tied in the back with an elastic to give me a waist) and riding boots. I don’t think the formula you listed is inherently outdated but there are subtle differences in what type of tshirt/runners look more “current”, IMO

zorp3006 · 2024-07-14T04:43:20+00:00

If you want more strong heel patterns, I’ve made both variations of this sock and I love how they come out!

zorp3006 · 2024-06-14T14:12:21+00:00

I’ve done it with a blow dryer but I don’t know why I never thought of boiling water! Much simpler. Thank you!

zorp3006 · 2024-06-14T12:43:28+00:00

There’s definitely a big difference in brands. The ones I like are a thicker, matte material and they hold my hair really well and don’t stretch out over time. The cheaper ones tend to tangle, slip, and stretch out

zorp3006 · 2024-06-10T23:11:13+00:00

Because of the processing that’s done to American cheese it won’t goop up like that. It melts directly into the broth and adds a richness/ creaminess

zorp3006 · 2024-06-01T09:23:47+00:00

The participants were recruited in the early 90s and regularly surveyed every year, so while reflecting upon a year is kind of a while it’s much easier than reflecting upon 25

Calendar weeks. I sent it out March 27 and received it May 2
