I hope that you wisdom surgery went as smoothly as possible and you’re well on the road to recovery by the time that you read this. It sounds like you have so many exciting plans between now and the end of the year Leavenworth sounds like a beautiful place to visit and particularly magical at this time of year.
I loved hearing about the nail polish tips! I always appreciate when podcasters have nice nails since they’re always holding yarn and projects up to the camera :) Also when I got my wisdom teeth out they told me the recovery time was going to much worse than it actually felt so that was super nice, I had all four of them out with no problems! Wishing you luck but you probably won’t need it :)
I think a sweet shop blanket looks like so much fun! I’ve been thinking about making one too, but it’s not a priority right now. On your traveler, I think it would be so cute to do the drawstring and cuff/hem ribbing in just the colorful bits!
I love all your projects! I am knitting on the traveller with handspun right now. Mine is pretty inconsistent but it works itself out. Don't worry about it too much! The structure really helps even things out :) And I really like the combo spin idea for the traveller shawl.
I just finished a doppio as well! Mine grew *so* much in length that my gauge shrunk. I might go back and make adjustments to the body, but I’m very happy with my sleeve adjustments to make them roomier (same as you and Maya!). I’m planning my second one already. I had my wisdom teeth removed very early (opposite problem, I was an early bird for all my teeth!). I was 13-14, and had them all removed at once. I was so excited to eat ice cream and drink smoothies for a week, that I planned out different flavour combos I wanted to try for both. It gave me something to look forward to! I hope all goes well 🤗
I never got wisdom teeth, however, both my sons did. Neither of them had any problems. My younger son got his out the day before thanksgiving when he was a teenager. We decided to postpone the “feast” so he could enjoy all the goodies. We postponed it two days! That Saturday he was eating solid foods without any difficulties. Good luck
So so glad the nail polish comments helped!! your nails look lovely! :) I really like the duochromes that Essie has -- one that I keep going back to is a purple/blue/gray blend. And good luck with your wisdom teeth! I got my first 3 wisdom teeth out in early college, which went fine, but they didn't take the last one out until this past year and it started coming in, and I'm in my very late twenties. It all went well! It was the quickest procedure -- in and out in 20 minutes, and the healing went all right as well. Fingers crossed for you it goes the same!
I had no issues getting my wisdom teeth out! Went to sleep. Woke up and hugged all the nurses and said I loved them. Was a bit swollen after but was surprisingly smooth. I just went to Leavenworth for Octoberfest. Wish I’d waited till holiday time.
My husband still has his wisdom teeth at 29. It's been about 10 years since I had mine out, but I had all 4 done at once and remember recovery being pretty smooth. I feel like I was eating pretty normal food after about 2 or 3 days, albeit gently. I ate mac and cheese on day 1. I would definitely recommend taking some kind of painkiller before the anesthesia wears off fully
So glad you got a wonderful self-care weekend with friends after the horrible week here in the US. Thank you for sharing the nail polish tips. Good luck with your wisdom teeth! I got mine out in my early 20s and it was fine! I was braced for it to be awful but it turned out to be no big deal at all. You’re gonna make it though!
I made both the Land of Sweets blanket and the Northeasterly. I love both of them but I made the Northeasterly in strips then crocheted them together so it was a super portable project.
I had a good experience with my wisdom teeth, just don't jump into hard foods too early! Mashed potatoes will be your best friend 😂 I did grow a 5th wisdom tooth that I had to have removed in college. Love Leavenworth! I lived in Everett for 4 years and did a bunch of white water rafting on the Wenatchee River. I highly recommend The Stein for lunch and a drink. Have a great time!
I had my wisdom teeth removed in my early 20s and I’m glad I got it done. I only had three! Weird. One tip is to make sure you take the prescription pain meds (if they prescribe you any) BEFORE the anesthesia wears out since it takes a bit for the med to kick in. I hope it goes well!
Dental hygienist here! Just want to say: listen to all of the after care instructions and follow them to a T and you should be totally fine! :) Your surgeon does this all day every day and will do a great job!!
I’m 38 now but I got my wisdom teeth taken out a couple of years ago and I still have two baby molars, lol. I too am a late bloomer. Luckily, I had no problems with my wisdom teeth ever and getting them all removed at once was a total breeze! The experience was made easier by telling myself to relax and I got to watch shows on Netflix while the oral surgeon did their thing. It took me 3 days for the tenderness/soreness to subside and by a week out, I was feeling fine. All in all, a 10 out 10 experience. Also, your hand spun is gorgeous! I’m inspired to practice my spinning more. Nail polish tips are always appreciated! :)
After having a few mixed results in sock lengths myself (especially if I followed a pattern), I now use my foot length in inches, reduce to 90% for the negative ease factor, and go from there. Whether I use by row gauge math or measure as I go, the sock fit has been a lot better when I do that. Maybe that can help with your fit. Always enjoy the project updates!
I got mine out when I was 18. I was put under anesthesia and had the easiest healing process. I was barely swollen the first two days and then had some swelling the third day. Very minimal pain that ibuprofen took care of! I slept slightly elevated which helped and ate lots of mashed potatoes and applesauce and yogurt! I could manage Mac n cheese and just took very small bites with my front teeth. I’d say best advice is just follow the rules your doctor gives you and rest
I had mine pulled when I was like 19 or 20 I think. I had 1 impacted and 2 easy pulls. I was told impacted ones typically have a 1 week recovery time of not eating solid food. So I stocked up on liquid food that was high protein so I didn't loose weight. I had my follow up 4 days after surgery because I was going out of town. He said I could go back to solid foods and I probably could have after 2 days. I bought a bag of chips on my way home from my appointment!
You should get a sock ruler! I was having the same trouble (luckily my boyfriend can wear the too long ones and my mom can wear the too short ones), now as long as I use the sock ruler the socks I try to make for myself actually fit my feet 😎
I had two separate surgeries at 16 to get my wisdom teeth out and both went fine. There was a tiny problem with one but the doctor resolved it quickly and painlessly. Like, I wouldn't do it again for fun, but it was very much a non-event. I don't know Essie colors, but there's a whole wide world of indie polishes that I love. Favorites include KBShimmer, Cuticula, and Polished For Days. There's a monthly thing called Polish Pick-up that lets you preorder from a bunch of brands if you want to get a bunch of different stuff in one shipment.
I literally almost adopted a dog after I got my wisdom teeth out because I loved it so dearly, but other than that it was a breeze! Apple sauce was life saving though!
I've been working on a Sweetshop Blanket for about a year now! It sits beside my bed in a cute basket and I work on it before bed if I feel like it. I fully accept that it's going to take me like 2 more years to finish but I'm okay with that! I think it's a great way to deal with the blanket-induced anxiety of such a huge project! I highly recommend you try it!!
Hi Emily!! So nice to see you at Sacred Sheep!! You should knit from Knitted Moomin Socks book if you like socks knitting, especially if you’re a snowboarder or skier! Make sure that you’re completely numbed as you should just feel the pressure. I would care more about the healing process afterwards to avoid infections so only soft jelly or warm bone broth. Lots of sorbet. Make sure your lips stay moist and don’t get addicted to the pain killers, avoid anything strong, ibuprofen works to reduce pain and inflammation if you’re not allergic to it.
I used to be an Essie girl. When I got back in the habit years later I became a Mooncat girl. IDK why I tend to stick with one brand, probably because I like when all the bottles are the same. For quick dry top coat I like INM out the door. I have a large refill bottle of the plain, and then regular sized bottles of their northern lights gold and silver, which have some gold or silver holo glitter. I don't recall much issue with getting my wisdom teeth out. I do recall that I used to bring chicken star noodle sipping soups to school for lunch while I was healing and I would have to clean the little stars out of my divots after. Actually, I think I had to clean food out of the divots for a long time.
I’m 39 and one of my wisdom teeth just finally decided to come out and immediately got a cavity! So I am going to get them all out in January. I’ve never been put under so please let me know if your removal goes smoothly so I can stop stressing out!
I'm 34 and still have my wisdom teeth and my oral surgeon said that the older you are the less likely you are to have complications during healing so I'm crossing my fingers for that
For your wisdom teeth: even if you feel fine the first day try to talk/move your jaw as little as possible! I felt great when I got home and talked so much I ended up in intense jaw pain for the next 4-5 days😬
a couple warnings/what NOT to do with wisdom tooth removal: do NOT take the pain meds on an empty stomach don’t expect you’ll be able to use a normal spoon (to eat apple sauce or spoon a smoothie) - maybe a baby spoon would work lol popsicles would be good if you can be sure you don’t do any sort of sucking motions! try to stay ahead of your pain med schedule, you def don’t want to get behind but in my experience the pain was 1000% manageable with just OTC tylenol/ibuprofen. best of luck!!
@ I’m a horror girlie 💅 I’m unphased! I think the colorway names are so clever. Especially Nightshades’ I like the feelings that 12:57 evokes. 8:26 is a good counterpart with different vibes. Also big on VCR and Static.

This is the perfect time of year to get your wisdom teeth out! Soup season!!
Loving your Tesselated colors

I had mine out at age 28, easy peasy. I took one Tylenol 3 afterwards and that’s all I needed. No swelling, no nerve issues.

I may have to start doing something like that!

Also! I think there's large crossover between knitters and nail polish people because they both let you play with colors and textures

I use the sock ruler, making a permanent mark for your foot size.
Good tip! I should probably start doing that!
I'm 34 and still have my wisdom teeth and my oral surgeon said that the older you are the less likely you are to have complications during healing so I'm crossing my fingers for that
Ooooh okay this makes me feel better!!
@@emweecurt Best of luck!
I JUST Cast on my long sleeve color tip tee hoping I have enough yarn for the sleeves because I can't not play yarn chicken
For your wisdom teeth: even if you feel fine the first day try to talk/move your jaw as little as possible! I felt great when I got home and talked so much I ended up in intense jaw pain for the next 4-5 days😬
I was going to comment "off topic but I love your nail shade!" but apparently that is on topic! What shade is that? Sorry if you mentioned previously!
a couple warnings/what NOT to do with wisdom tooth removal:
do NOT take the pain meds on an empty stomach
don’t expect you’ll be able to use a normal spoon (to eat apple sauce or spoon a smoothie) - maybe a baby spoon would work lol

It's called bloodshot because when you don't get a lot of sleep and your eyes are a little red. It's not gross.
I know about bloodshot eyes!! I just think it isn't the most pleasing thing to name a yarn colorway after 😅

One time I recorded a LONG presentation for work and on the last slide I realized I was muted the entire time 😐 I get it 🤣
Omg nooooooo the worst 😭
