I unfortunately can’t speak French (I already feel terrible about this don’t worry) and so the job options are slim and ive seen on indeed some postings for jobs that don’t require French (pizza chef and stuff like that) but I feel like if I just apply on indeed my resume is getting sent into a black hole. I was thinking I should find out who’s hiring and then go in person and inquire about jobs. I’m open to literally anything - cook, baker, dishwasher, janitor, etc. Also if I wanna apply for the chef/baker positions I have no formal experience but I’m a good home baker/cook so would it help me to have a “portfolio” of sorts to show them? Idk I’m so lost, was gonna go to the hojo office on campus and ask them for advice but it’s closed this week

Trying to make the sakura skirt by mei knits. This yarn is labeled worsted but it’s a lot thinner than any worsted yarn ive ever used so I thought it would be good for this skirt which uses dk or light worsted yarn. I tried first with the recommended 4mm needles but it was not even close to 10cm across, so I switched to 4.5mm and still was not close. This swatch was done on 5mm needles and as u can see I got almost 10cm across, but then it’s 13cm vertically when it’s supposed to be 10x10cm. Im so frustrated because I was set on using this yarn 🥲 would I be making a mistake if I went ahead and used it anyways? I’m thinking since it’s a skirt, and the problem is my swatch is longer than it’s supposed to be, it isn’t that big of a deal since skirts are pretty free flowing things but it also has like short row shaping (which ive never done before) and stuff so idk. Any advice appreciated ❤️

So ive built a camera obscura with a shoebox and a magnifying glass lense and I have varying success with it. Honestly I don’t really know what the common factors are between me getting a good result and me getting a bad result, exposure time is a total mystery to me, I just set up my cam, wait a bit, and hope for the best. Any tips would be lovely :]
