#Euro-Spec
Text
Recorded 9 months ago at Abrahams Garage, I finally have a computer strong enough to edit the footage I captured of an Abarth 500 engine being built with a true DOHC euro-spec valvetrain with a big turbo and all the supporting mods that goes with it. The next video goes into full detail about the car and the many upgrades done to support this monster of an engine.

me explaining for nearly an hour that the reason her game doesnt get past startup is because the integrated graphics of her cpu arent good enough to handle the graphics of the recently released triple A title she wants to play vs her immediately going "but cant i just play without a gpu"
#listen im all for explaining pc gaming alright but she just. WAH#frustrating#i love infodumping about pc parts. pc gaming is my special interest. i do it daily.#but 'do i really need a gpu :/' AFTER I SPENT THE LAST HOUR EXPLAINING WHY SHE NEEDS A GPU#why#YES. YOU DO. YOU NEED A GPU.#'sims runs fine' SIMS 4 IS A GAME RELEASED IN LIKE 2014 WITH CASUAL GAMERS IN MIND#just for one single game honestly she shouldnt do it#like if you want to get into gaming get a gpu its important but just for the one single game??? especially if its such a shortlived one#like if ur playing one single mmo for 12 years then yeah! gaming pc! but if its just a game youll play for like a month. dont#she has an f1 hyperfixation. she wants to play f1 22. which has somewhat low minimum specs YES but it still needs a gpu#the 300 euro mini pc you bought for school does not come with a designated gpum#im an artist AND a gamer so having a gpu to me is essential but for her??? just watch videos on youtube man#if the game wasnt 80 gb id tell her to download it on my laptop and come over sometimes to play it 😭#shes going off minimum specs too. she doesnt know how terrible it will look#really funny she texted me for it tho. designated pc nerd friend.

I'm still on the fence about tinting these clear Euro headlights yellow like I had the JDM zenki version.
Maybe just yellow covers? I like the "crystal" Euro version better because the glass is super clear/clean compared to +20 year old plastic.

That pic of mary and the baby hello…..i know you have written similar stuff before for her but could you do a blurb where the reader and mary have a baby together? maybe reader brings them to a match, once it’s over mary comes over to see them and takes the baby who instantly buries their head in her chest and all mary’s teammates notice and rush over to come see their favourite supporter
part of the a date to remember universe series 🫶🏻
crowd favourite II m.earps
you’d finally convinced your wife to let you bring your little bundle of joy to her first ever international football match, an england friendly against germany which being a euros rematch had already attracted a sold out crowd.
your wife forever over protective of both you and your little now nine month old daughter had banned the two of you from the previous england games claiming that the crowds became far too rowdy.
after a couple of months you’d started to take delilah to some of her home united matches, mary much more trusting of the crowds it drew in and knowing worse case she could be by your side in a minute if need be.
but now when you were up in the family and friends box staring down at your wife who was merely a spec in the wonderous size of a packed out wembley stadium, you’d needed to assure her over and over you would both be absolutely fine.
“well now do my eyes deceive me or is mrs earps finally off house arrest?” your head moved up toward the grinning blonde making her way over to you as you carefully stood with your daughter in your arms.
“hi lee.” you greeted the captain with a smile, kissing her cheek as she hugged you with one arm mindful of your daughter. “god she’s getting big, look at the hair on her!” leah gasped in surprise, ruled out from the game with a tweak in her knee sarina didn’t want to risk.
“you should see mary’s baby photos, this is nothing!” you laughed, kissing your daughters forehead affectionately before carefully passing her over to leah. you watched with a fond smile as the younger girl cooed at your daughter, face brightening as delilah rewarded her with a few giggles for her efforts.
“are you coming down?” leah asked nodding outside where you knew she’d shortly head down to sit behind the players bench with the rest of the staff. “i don’t think I have the clearance for that!” you laughed, handing off your daughter again to marys mum as she returned from the bathroom.
“please. look who you’re with! this face is all the clearance you need my girl.” leah grinned gesturing to herself making you roll your eyes playfully. “go! i’ve got her sweetheart she’s due for a nap soon anyway, mary will appreciate you being there.” julie smiled warmly.
“i’m just gonna see if she’ll feed before kick off. she was really fussy this morning with the bottle and mary not being home.” you sighed at the memory, barely able to have her drink more than a few mouthfuls.
taking delilah and grabbing your bag you moved toward the parents room, locking the door after you.
“-and you’re sure you don’t mind?” you asked your mother in law for the third time after your returned who shook her head with a laugh and waved you off. “darling she’s fed and fast asleep. go and enjoy the game!” the woman shooed you away as leah grabbed your hand, pulling you with her as you blew your daughter one last kiss.
“alright leah relax you’re gonna rip my arm off mate!”
~
“hi sexy.” you grinned at your wife as she finally made her way over after saying hi to as many fans as she could, the rest of the girls not far after her revelling in their 3-1 win.
“mary!” you squealed as your wife manhandled you up and over the barrier, placing you down on the pitch and kissing you fiercely earning you a few wolf whistles as you pulled away and buried your face in her shoulder.
“you’re so sweaty.” you mumbled with a sigh as she hugged you tightly, making a point to rub her face into your shirt as you pushed her off. “hello mrs earps! now where is mini earps?” you were quickly tugged into another sweaty hug by millie.
“up in the box with mary’s mum. nice to see you too brighty!” you poked accusingly at her chest. “excuse me it’s not my fault your bulldog of a wife won’t let us meet her unless through facetime!” millie pouted, several of the other girls around you joining in on their demands to meet delilah.
“hey i’ve been ready to bring her to the last three england games.” you defended, your wife sending you a murderous side eye for throwing her under the bus as her friends and team mates continued to whine at her.
“oh you guys haven’t met her? what a shame!” you were once again lifted into a sweaty hug as a smug alessia twirled you around and placed back on your feet, ignoring the unimpressed protests that followed her remark.
“stop winding them up. i’m raising you to be a pleasant and humble individual young lady!” you smacked her on the arm with a warning look as the blonde only grinned and kissed your cheek before you were pulled in by tooney who continued the teasing that the two of them saw your daughter almost daily.
“not a single one of you are laying a finger on her until you’ve showered, changed and washed your hands at least twice!” mary shouted sternly above all the noise, several of the girls all racing off to the change rooms making you laugh at their obvious eagerness.
“now look what you’ve done. whipped them into a bloody frenzy!” mary grumbled as she hugged you from behind, placing a few lazy kisses to your jaw as you leant into her secure hold, wincing slightly as she adjusted her arms to sit higher.
“hey love you alright?” she was back in front of you in an instant, hand caressing your cheek with a concerned stare as you nodded. “my boobs are killing me, i got her to feed earlier but i need to pump soon.” you mumbled in annoyance at your least favourite part of motherhood, your constantly aching chest.
“well i’ll make sure to give them lots of love and extra special attention and kiss them better for you later tonight baby.” the keeper whispered in your ear with a cheeky grin, hand moving around you to harshly squeeze your bum before giving it a smack as your eyes widened and you pushed at her chest.
“hope you’re washing your hands twice too after that little show mother mary!” millie and rach grinned wiggling their eyebrows at the woman, eyes widening as she lunged at them, chasing them off the pitch and back into the tunnel.
~
“hi gorgeous.” your wife was the first to appear upstairs, followed closely by a handful of her teammates whom you’d assume the girl kept held hostage in the change rooms until she was ready to come up herself.
“she just woke up, look whose back lilah!” you cooed rocking the infant in your arms as mary beamed, tickling underneath her chin as your daughter reached out for her eagerly.
a resounding chorus of aw’s echoed as mary scooped her up and your daughter buried her face in her hoodie covered chest, mary attacking her with kisses on every inch of her body as you watched on with a smile.
“right! make an orderly queue please girls. and no pushing! yes mills i’m looking at you when i say that.” your wife ordered sternly, bouncing your daughter on her hip as her team mates hurried to line up for a hold, the entire ordeal making you laugh.
“ah no! you let them have their turns you both saw her yesterday.” you were quick to grab both ella and alessia as they rushed past you, yanking them down into the seats beside you and ignoring their protests.
eventually they both gave up and rested their heads on either one of your shoulders, the three of you chattering about your plans to take delilah to the zoo next weekend. yet another thing you’d sworn the pair to secrecy over not wanting to upset the rest of their team mates much as the two loved nothing more than to flex their godmother and favourite aunty status about.
mary caught your eye with a grin as she protectively watched over your daughter, shaking her head at your two adopted daughters sprawled across your sides.
but neither of you would change a thing, your perfect little family.

How to make the Sims 3 look its best in 2022
so simming is a long time pastime of mine, and I've - in my humble opinion - perfected the look of the game without turning it into a yassed out modeling agency. (if you've ever looked for cc you know what I'm talking about) so in this first of probably many posts - here is a complete list of all my graphics mods!
Firstly, though, I should note that I have a very strong pc with a very strong graphics card. Please please please don't overload your computer, and explore options that will work best with your specs. What looks best for me might not look best for you.
Ahem, with that out of the way let's start with my default graphic settings.
This keeps my game looking beautiful while running smoothly (hence the low reflection and edge smoothing)
Now let's get into the mods!
Lighting and Environment
Burnt Waffles' Moonrise Kingdom Lighting - Self explanatory, textures for the skybox, weather overlays, and general lighting. Make sure you pick the water that matches your world!
Simsi45's Reworked and Improved EA Lights - tones down the brightness of some lights, fixes directional lighting for covered lamps, light colors made more consistent, and other such fixes.
dDefinder's Outdoor Lighting Tweaks - removes that nasty blue hue at nighttime, adds more dynamic shadows, adds new weather types and can make nighttime darker!
Neim's Sims Blog's Default replacements for Garden Bushes and Orchard Trees - Replaces the textures for plants like tomato vines, apple trees, and onion plants - creating a much more lush looking garden.
Aminovas' Plant Retextures - softens the bright, garish colors of EA plants to be more appealing. In two parts, and available as non-defaults.
CAS + Create-a-Pet
Kurasoberina's Primer Skin + Buhudain's You are Real - my skin mod and a default replacement pack with upped realism. The skin was designed to be used with You are Real, just a heads up.
I don't use any nudey mods out of personal preference - but I hear good things about Cmar's and Geck.o's work. Here is a link to a bunch of nsfw sims stuff, if that's what your into.
I also don't really use sliders outside of the hat slider, a glasses slider and a height and posture slider. this is again out of personal presence, as I am generally making an entire neighborhood's worth of sims at a time and don't have the energy to be nitpicky with sliders on every single sim.
That being said, OneEuroMutt complied a really nice list of CAS sliders AND a list of animal sliders if your interested in that.
Bloom's Sexy Feet and Cyo's Cute feet for children - realistic foot retexture, the op is long gone so this is a forum post. May not work unless sim detail is set to high!
Shady's Loney Eyes - subtle eye retextures available as both a contact and a default replacement. I'm currently not using any eyelash retextures - mostly because I haven't found any that work. If anyone has suggestions, let me know!
MaryJane's, Firefox's, AND Agnelid's Hair Replacements - replaces defualt hair with much better looking CC from other creator's - I mix and match between the three. Note that these are far from complete, and I still work with pleanty of EA hair.
I like teh Sims CAS overhaul - less shine, and hides rather than deletes mostly unused items (i always have this weird paranoia that deleting them form CAS will delete them in gameplay...)
One Euro Mutt's Less Shoe Shine - self explanatory, fixes that weird shine that's on so many default shoes.
Simple Life's Lipstick, Blush, Eyeliner, Beards, Eyebrows, and Age Details - Simple Life is my go- to for facial updates, do note however the textures may look funky if your sim detail isn't set to high. (They don't have individual pages for each item, so you'll have to scroll - my apologies)
Ketheira's Freckles and Moles - self explanatory, more realistic face marks.
Eternal 2nd Kira's Insect Wing Replacements for Fairies - replaces the EA textures with high-def insect wings, I just think it looks neat mostly.
Brinwood's HD Dog Coats and Eyes - Also includes more colorable options for dog coats, such as inner ears and individual paws.
Lazy Duchess' cat and dog addons - adds whiskers, primarily, but also edits some face textures and adds more facial markings
Kale and Traelia's HD cat skin and eyes - better meshes for cats.
Dimitri Dane's and Elin Fredriksdotter's EQHD - a FULL retexture and remodel of EA horses with better textures of coats and eyes, and optional stallion junk if that's what your into (I'm not... lol). you will have to download custom saddles, bridles, tack, and poses as EA meshes will be incompatible - but I will probably make a separate post with all my horse CC... lol.
Misc. Textures
Pretty obviously, I use the No Build Sparkles and No Intro mod that everyone gets when they set up there CC folder for the first time. These little details make a big difference!
JustMiha's Clean UI reskin, which is currently still in development (hence the default graphic menu... lol)
Velocity Grass's remove stencil tool to remove any unwanted stencils from cabinets, beds, or toyboxes.
Simsi45's Tileable Items Fix - you know how you go to place a row of bookshelves and there's the lighting gets all messed up on a few of them? yeah this mod fixes that.
Jane Sambroski's Wood Grain re-textures - fixes a lot of the EA woods to have much nicer looking grains, and fixed an issue that caused the grain to become pixelated when zooming.
Plastic Box's Doorway Lighting Fix - fixes lots of the broken lighting with doors and archways, so now all glass doors will cast light through them and all arches of similar size will cast the same amount of light through them
Aminovas' Cow Textures - retextures the cow in the Milkin' It Corral store item to be more realistic. That's it.
And that's it! Yes, I know it's a lot, but I like my game GOREGOUS.

⚙️ This laptop was saved from obsolescence! [10 mins of read]
Hello!! i am making this post here to raise awareness for PC and laptop upgrades, and how it should motivate you to do that same thing to preserve yours for longer or to give it the power you need! this will feature my history with mine, as well as the steps i took to be able to make him breathe life better! this is the story of his journey, and how it went to this current day.
his name is samuel, he is an asus fx570u and i bought him back in september of 2018 after i turned 13! he was brand new during that time and priced at 800 euros, offering only 6 gb of memory and an HDD as his specs. however he does have an 8th gen core i5 as his cpu and a geforce 1050 ti for his gpu. for something marketed as a gaming pc, it's pretty low and it wouldn't allow him to run fast enough, especially for highly demanding software and causing some compatibility issues. it wasn't severe, but as i was stuck with an hdd, that meant operating systems would run pretty slow on it, also leading to long software loading times. this is made worse by the fact that its bundled system, windows 10, isn't designed to work efficiently on hdd in the first place, but at least that means i have my hands on a windows key to be able to use some windows exclusive programs..
i mainly used him to be able to use advanced video editing software and customize the games i have on it for my own taste, because back then i loved making youtube videos and it was a passion i've had for years until i've partially retired from it. i rarely bought games on it and instead opted for free-to-plays, and overall had a good time with him.
unfortunately within only 3 months, his HDD broke down and i sent him to technicians for them to replace it with another one. it was a minor accident i've had but it formatted all my data, even though it didn't matter much since i uploaded most of it to the internet. i just had to be gentle with him by trying to not moving him around too much to stop that issue from persisting... but it was still low-end in terms of system performance. i finally used him for 1 year straight before moving on to a tower pc, feeling tired about his slowness and believing i couldn't do much about it.
i used that other (unnamed) pc for almost a year, starting from 2020! they seemed to work better since it had windows 7, but embarrassingly enough that version itself stopped receiving official security updates months before i started using it, even though i was careful while accessing the internet with it. its performances were also low, but didn't really matter much since i didn't take so much advantage from the power of samuel. suddenly, i had the foolish idea of installing windows 8.1 on the latter to try to deal with the performance issues on 10, but it led to even more compatibility issues since the drivers i used were meant to be for 10 only. only by early 2021, i got win10 back on him and started using him again to get more power again.
so the low-end performance persisted for very long. back then i never knew how to upgrade pcs, so i was only used to replacing devices with others which wasn't cost-efficient. after realizing i used windows for well over 10 years, i had the idea of switching to a mac and as a result, for xmas 2021 i got myself a cute yellow silicon imac, who goes by the name of sarah! but switching to macos posed new serious challenges, such as getting used to the lack of windows compatibility and the missing features that i was used to for a long time. most of the creativity i did with her was drawings with firealpaca and krita, and cgi with blender, which wasn't really much. still, she is pretty glossy and also powerful for many of the tasks i'm performing with her. originally i also intended to sell samuel, but that never happened (i low regret that decision so much i swear).
in late 2022, samuel's performance apparently had had a big hit... he now takes approximately 20 seconds to open any program and it seemed to me like something was wrong with him. at that time i also gained interest in linux since it's a libre OS capable of much more flexibility, essentially allowing it to revive old PCs. i finally decided to get linux mint to work on him via a dual boot with win11 (what was i thinking when i "upgraded" him from 10?). the performance seemed a little better from then, but programs still took very long to open. for that reason, he had often been collecting dust as he finally became unusable.
finally we've reached 2023. this is the year i decided to take on tearing down devices to learn how to examine problems inside of them. after checking samuel's performance again, i noticed that his HDD was having extremely low writing and reading speeds compared to my tower, which made me feel disappointed. but that's when i finally decided i could be able to replace his hard disk with an ssd, a new generation which is more durable, faster, quieter and energy-efficient...
but i still had a good wait until it was possible. suddenly with my money, i found an ssd which only costed €30, and it made me happy that this would be a quick way of healing up samuel! so i rushed to get it, and finally opened him to prepare everything... unfortunately, his keyboard has to be lifted up in the process, and there are flex cables connected between it and the motherboard. but taking out the hard disk thankfully only requires a few steps; removing some screws, then inserting the SSD inside of it. after that i quickly put linux mint back into him. SO SPLENDID...
for only the price of a high budget indie game, now he can open programs very fast, close to how fast sarah can do, and just about any task works perfectly well on him with way less bugs! thanks to that fast upgrade he's become viable for daily drives again, even though i don't have other desks suitable for pcs which makes me less motivated to use him. really wish id be able to since the architecture he has (x64) means he has a lot more software he's able to handle natively...
but then, i hadn't upgraded his ram. i said before that he only had 6 gb of it, and that meant he could only work with a few programs before becoming bloated. and as i like doing power tasks on him, that obviously causes problems. so one day, i went to a pc part store out of curiosity, and became shocked when i found small ram carts that could be compatible with my laptop. after some talk with the seller, i bought 2 ddr4 carts each containing 8 gb and clocked at 2666 mhz, more than double of what i used to have. after that it was time to take on a challenge to be able to insert them myself.
when the seller asked me if i needed assistance to have the carts inserted into my laptop, i giggled internally because of my past stories with learning how to open devices and trying to troubleshoot or modify them internally. i obviously declined it which saved me money, but also meant i had to do it all myself. after an hour of painful manipulations which required me to take out the entire motherboard from samuel, while that next step was also difficult i was finally able to insert the carts into it, before placing all his components back into place. and after such a long time of waiting...
i've finally done it!
Samuel is feeling very well right now!! despite his cpu and gpu dating from over 5 years, now he can do even more tasks at a time, while also being able to read them faster, a massive improvement compared to when it was stuck with an hdd and only 6 gb of ram. i'm guessing those low specs were for the purpose of saving manufacturing costs, but until you'd find use for the components that you'd remove, they'd end up becoming waste. and with a free os like linux mint, it adds up to an even more optimized experience than windows 10, which comes with so many unwanted stuff and can't be customized very well.
have you had a similar story to mine? did that pose you challenges? i took over 40 minutes to write this entire piece of text, but it should at least be very well detailed! on the best case scenario i hope it would inspire others to do some research on upgrading PCs to preserve their lives and especially save costs. Thank you for reading the entirety of it, don't hesitate reblogging it if you think it would interest your own audience! peace for all of you 💙

BBN (BuiltByNim) Linear Switch x Ciel65
Because I missed last Saturdays post and was being a bit lazy until now y'all get a twofer from me today with both a build and a switch post in one!
I'll get into the meat of the switch below the cut, but I got a 90 pack of these curious fellas as part of mykeyboard.eu's surprise switches round 5 offering for just 17 euro, which is a steal compared to the normal 6.81 euro price tag on a pack of 10.
Before I start rambling on any longer, here's the specifics on the Ciel65 Build you're seeing in the picture at the top:
Stock BBN Linear switches
No stabs (build is mostly for show and testing on alphas)
CannonCaps Earl Grey Lavender PBT keycaps
Aluminium plate
With that out of the way, let's dive a little deeper into the specifics of the BBN Linears starting with their rough specs:
63.6g two-stage gold-plated spring
Nylon top housing
Polycarbonate bottom housing
POM long-pole stem
Manufactured by Tecsee
Now, these are fairly common materials that are being used here, but what I find particularly interesting is the deviation from the norm of using using transparent polycarbonate as the material for the bottom housing when it's usually used for the top housing. This makes me want to toy around with different plate and keycap materials to see what sounds I can get out of them.
When I got them, considering I got them as part of what's essentially a switch lootbox, I didn't know what the specs of these were, nor if they came factory lubed or dry and from initial playing around with them I was sure they were very lightly factory lubed from the rather slick push feel and lack of any pinging from the leaf and spring. Now imagine my surprise when I opened them up to a completely dry stem and spring!
The stem tolerances are fairly tight with a slight bit of wobble and the housing fits really tightly into the alu plate of the Ciel65, so much so that my thumbs are a little sore from trying to get them into the board.
I quite enjoy these, even if the flat sound profile isn't 100% my thing and I bet you could get them smoother with either a light lube job or some breaking-in. Having the option for rather clear RGB lighting due to the clear bottom housing and plain white top housing for those people who love their light machines is a neat bonus. If you like this kind of linear switch then they should be worth the full price.

For your street racing au, what cars do each racer have?
there are a couple repeats for various reasons, but lemme grab the list !!!
agency of repairs;
atsushi nakajima; 1991 Nissan 180SX
osamu dazai; 1991 Nissan 180SX
doppo kunikida; 1992 Honda Accord SE (F20A), / 1989 Lancia Delta Integrale 16v
junichirou tanizaki; 1993 Honda Integra RS (Type R Converted)
yukichi fukuzawa; 1973 Nissan Fairlady Z/240Z
ranpo edogawa; 1995 Mazda MX5 NA
akiko yosano; 1996 Toyota Chaser Tourer V JZX100
atsushi & dazai have the same car because dazai offered to let atsushi repair his old car to learn the tricks of the trade. dazai has had the same car multiple times, as he has a knack for wrecking them. the one atsushi has is the only one with an intact chassis, which is why he was able to repair it.
the portside;
ryuunosuke akutagawa; 1994 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution II
gin akutagawa; 1986 Toyota MR2 AW11 / Yahama YZF-1000R
chuuya nakahara; 1991 Honda NSX NA1
michizou tachihara; 1991 Mazda RX7 FC3S
ougai mori; 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo
ryurou hirotsu; 1981 Porsche 911 930 Turbo
kouyou ozaki; 1995 Lotus Carlton
oda sakunosuke; 1986 Nissan Skyline HR31 GTS-R
when chuuya comes out of retirement, he drives a different car, as a sign of growth from his teenage years. to emphasis it, he also changes his moniker; he changes "arahabaki" to "TAINTED", and he is welcomed back like a legend. gin is the only racer to consistently enter touge races with a motorcycle, and possibly the one most deserving of her reputation.
misc;
lucy montgomery; 1992 Chevrolet Corvette C4 ZR1
edgar allan poe; 1996 Lotus Elise Gen 1
mark twain; 1994 Dodge Viper RT10 / BMW M3 E36 (Euro-spec)
francis scott fitzgerald; 1969 Dodge Challenger Daytona
saigiku jouno; 1991 Porsche 944 Turbo
jouno is the only one of the misc. category to have formerly raced, but will not return to the scene. this is due to jouno losing his sight during the golden era, so he retired in '92 when it became dangerous for him to drive. before that, he and dazai were rivals. mark twain has two cars because he races both touge and highway - as such, he also has two names; tom sawyer and huck finn.
#cherri.txt#bungou stray dogs#bsd#retribution.fic#everyone give a big thank u to my friend deemz for giving me the rundown on how cars work & which cars work best for the bsd characters#an insane amt of trivia. i have.

cast off!!! an on time cast off!
my sister and i are running a 2-person team in some upcoming toboggan races and i made us team hats. chart under the cut!
i had an idea for the pattern and messed around with chart-making software for the first time. (Stitchmastery, which I'm loving.)
the hat design itself I mostly cribbed off of Jelka size L, which happened to have the same stitch count that I needed for this 28-st repeat. My minor changes were: twisted rib for the brim, 6.75" before decreasing instead of 6.5", and also after trial and error found that size 6 (euro/4mm) needles for the brim and size 8 for the body was the right combo.
The first prototype I made with 4s & 6s was too small and the chart had zero give, so I also went from floating a max of 4 sts to floating a max of 3 (usually 2) and although a pain in the ass it did seem to help.
Finally -- I'm putting this as my first stash-busting project of the year because I used some of the old Cascade 220 that was in Fran's sweater ("Japanese Maple" I think? & the 2nd, lighter color in the pompoms is also from that sweater's leftovers), as well as the penultimate hank of my off-color wedding sweater Cascade 220! I finished the last hat with about 24" to spare, which was good cause when I pulled out the last hank to wind it I found it had disintegrated through like 10+ strands so it was gonna be a nightmare to salvage. I'm not sure if I'll hang onto that or not. Fully using 9 of 10 hanks of the bag is pretty great. I just looked up the order for fun and because the color was off spec I got the bag for under $60 in 2015. Not bad, not bad!!!
anyway in red is my very first draft and then in blue is what I ended with after messing with it a bit.
and here is the numbered chart!
I'm so sick of colorwork right now but otherwise excited to use the software more! Since I knit left-handed (left-to-right) and always have to rewrite cable and lace patterns, I thought actually rewriting them IN the software would be a good way to learn it that would also be helpful for the associated project.
