Maybe a paisley shawl? You could pack it or wear and they are ubiquitous now that it isn't as appropriative (?) as it certainly was when they became popular with British nobility bringing them back from the East.

Ooh I like this too, with the added benefit that I own one of those.

Also get a good daylight spectrum light. It’s the best thing to help see stitches when all the colors are similar. This helps me So much when my eyes are tired

This is a great idea! Thank you. :)

I am super jealous

It’s hard to believe this is my first campaign.

Do you have a ravelry account? I find most of my patterns there nowadays and I would link to a couple but I believe they also require a free account so I want to ask before linking.

I do!  Thank you! <3

Time for a haircut!

To be fair, that is not actually why i’m getting a haircut. I have an old dude who works with me who doesn’t particularly like my hippy ways. He offered me $100 to buzz my hair off and I called him on it. He’s been collecting donations to pay me for the last week now. I believe the haircut is Thursday.

Friend who wears these says that they’re fine in the wet if you wear them without socks - apparently once you get rid of the wet sock feeling everything is better.

This is very useful to know! I think today it's too cold (there was snow on the hills when I was on the train home), but I'll remember this when it's warmer. There is a type of weather where barefooting would be fine if it was dry, but when it's wet it's toooo cold - and these are the solution!

I loved my two pairs of five fingers so much I wore holes in the soles. So comfortable and you will be surprised how warm your feet are even in the winter. I had the Bikram and KSo sport which they don’t make anymore. It was one of their first models

Sadness that they don't make your favourites any more. :( My feet felt a bit breezed with the ventilation when I got off the train, and that was with socks, but they soon warmed up.

This may seem like a long shot, but you might check David’s bridal. They have bridesmaid’s dresses that are while mostly modern have a retro styling in a couple of shades of green that you are looking for. And a lot of them are on sale right now.

I did try David's, sadly they seem to think 'teal' is green.

Thanks for all of the help I've gotten from my ask to Gail Simone! This is why I love tumblr so much, complete strangers are willing to help each other out for no reason other than that they want to.
