Okay soooooo very tired from Woolstock so I'll post pictures tomorrow but quick question for those of you have use a lucet knitting fork:

Can I use unfinished handspun or should I steam set the twist before hand?

[fyresnow]

need a break from the wedding dress and things so decided to try making a little bag with oak leaves and acorns. This will be the drawstring cord for it- a flat lucet cord! I picked this fork up years ago as a kid at a colonial history event and haven’t done much with it, but it’s super fun. The yarn is just K+C essential cotton (in sequoia and golden coast). I might also weave a …takadai(?) type plaid braid with these two and grey or cream as a bag strap or if I don’t like the way this cord looks with it. I don’t know, I’m just suddenly overcome with lust for weaving, you know how it goes lol

I finished a pillow yesterday!

Worked on it on and off for like 2 years, but it came out well. It has some flaws in the cording, but then again, for a first time cording project, I am happy with how it turned out. I have 3 more pillows in this set, who knows when i will finish them all, but regardless, I am happy with my fuzzy pillows.

I had run out of fabric and had already cut the front so I wasn't sure how to proceed, but i had just barely enough overlap to do this technique, so I did, and this is how it turned out.

おばあさんが 𝚐𝚒𝚝 𝚙𝚞𝚕𝚕 すると、上流ブランチから 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚔𝚘 𝚍𝚘𝚗𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚊𝚔𝚘 という謎のコミットメッセージとともに大きな 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚘.𝚝𝚊𝚛 が流れてきました。おじいさんが 𝚝𝚊𝚛 𝚡𝚏 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚘.𝚝𝚊𝚛 すると 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 が展開され、./𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 を叩くと標準出力から元気に 𝙾𝙶𝚈𝙰𝙰! 𝙾𝙶𝚈𝙰𝙰! ... と繰り返し出力され始めました。一旦 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 を 𝚔𝚒𝚕𝚕 した後、二人はそれが 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚘.𝚝𝚊𝚛 に含まれていたことにちなんで 𝚖𝚟 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 𝚖𝚘𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚘 しました。

4 weeks post op!!!

We made it!!!! I remember dreaming of this day 1dpo lol and now we are here. I developed axillary web syndrome better known as “cording” under my left armpit. I haven’t seen anyone in the surgery community talk about this. Essentially I can’t lift my arm over my head without a pain or tightness in my underarm area. What’s crazy is that less than 10% of patient develop this issue. It’s typically seen in post breast cancer surgeries.

But of course I had to develop it as well. My surgeon wanted to do a good job and give me thin, sexy arms haha I went to a physical therapist who has been giving me “scraping” as a treatment. I either lay down or sit on a chair laying on a wedge pillow and the pt uses a metal gua sha (best way to describe it) to break down the scar tissue. The first time I had it done I felt great relief. The second time was pure agony lol this third time was fine but I felt like the pt wasn’t really hitting the affected area and for $40 a 15 min session, it’s a lot of money. I say my doctor today who said that this is common with arm lipo patients but that it takes months, yes, months for it to go away. I knew recovery was going to take a while but I didn’t expect this. My surgeon didn’t disclose to me that this could even occur so I’m pissed. On Friday I’ll be seeing a physical therapist that specializes in post breast cancer patients so I’m hoping to expedite this healing process.

All and all surgery is not for the weak. It’s mentally draining. Everyday is different. One day you look and see snatched, the next you see all the issues. It’s weird. It’s like you are getting reacquainted with the only body you’ve known your whole life. Especially for me who has suffered from body dysmorphia my whole life.

I ordered 3 stage 2 fajas from a Colombian faja company called Tributo. All of them have sleeves, with shorts, light compression on the hips and butt, and zipper flap. One of them has extra fupa compression. All without rods. I apparently wear these until I’m 3-4 months post op. We will see. They should arrive in less than 2 weeks.
