It’s been a grey winter, and looking to stay that way. I work remote, so I was thinking of getting an SAD light. But I remember from years ago when I had one (and worked in an office) that if I put it next to my monitor it gave me a headache and made my monitor hard to see. Those of you using SAD lights, where do you put them,...
We have one in our office that we put on a shelf above eye height when we’re all working. It seems to be okay just kind of shining down on us. It’s usually on the whole day but we’re only in for a few hours at a time, we all have meetings and appointments with other people so pop in and out of the office.
Both comments are showing for me! Thanks for that, the cable jumper I’m doing right now is a merino/acrylic blend and it’s getting very heavy and thick so I’m getting a bit anxious about how wearable it’ll be. I guess it’s all learning.
I hope you get many wonderful wears from your jumper and have a lovely Christmas
There’s some of the obvious ones like cleanliness and being kind to service people. I think dress sense is one to a degree as well, I don’t mean being super curated but at least putting some effort in.
One of the more boring ones I’ve picked up as I’ve aged is financial literacy and being good with money. I love a guy with a big spreadsheet.
Hobbies is one for me too. Something people are interested in or passionate about gives them depth and character.
I did try to learn from my grandmother when I was a kid but it didn’t stick. I don’t think I had the manual dexterity, when I looked it up on YouTube as an adult I didn’t have too much trouble with it.
I had forgotten learning from my grandmother but I found some of my old notes and things at her house the other week that been stored away for the last 30 years or so.
Now I learn from YouTube and certain books. How to knit socks that fit, jumper knitting handbook type stuff and the Japanese knitting stitch Bible.
I started with crochet and moved onto knitting. Now I much prefer it and how versatile it is
Thank you, that’s really kind. It is a lot of cables lol and I was worried about handling it. To be honest though once you do a few repeats it’s fairly easy to keep track of what’s going on
Thank you! Yes it’s quite fun being all casual about doing something that looks complicated. I am pleased I can cable without a needle though and don’t think this would be possible without that technique!
I’ve not rewound this yarn, I’m just taking the label off and getting the end. I use the bowl to have something to put the yarn in basically and because I think it looks nice. I’m terrible for buying hobby bits because they look nice, I have so many pins and stitch markers and things.
Like another person said though, if it was one of the fancy yarns that comes in a hank (I think they’re called) I’d need to wind it first so it was a ball before being able to use it.
Hey guys! I’ve been getting back into dating after 10 years (!) and I’m feeling a bit out of the loop with some things. I got onto an app, took some nice pics, did the swiping and made good chat about the things on his profile. Now we’re up to the date part and I’m feeling a bit stuck so hoping you can help!...
Yes these are fun suggestions, thank you. I really like the idea of go karts but not a lot of conversation involved, maybe a second or third time meeting for that one.
I’m going to leave these comments up I think but I just wanted to chime in and say expressing hate for any group based on their location of birth, race, ethnicity, age, religion, etc. isn’t okay here and will also get you booted.
