Hello all! I start classes this month and my new job the first week of September but I have no planner to take me through to the end of the year and I need some recommendations that won’t break the bank, that are still available, and don’t feel too wasteful considering 2027 is only months away (looking for around $35 or less).

What I’m looking for:

A weekly spread of sorts that has enough space for me to write in due dates for assignments and priority tasks for work. (My writing is small enough that I had no issues with the day free).

Daily pages are not necessary but I’m willing to try it since I do journal on occasion

Blank pages in the back or a blank space in the weeks layout for lists.

Ideally an academic planner since it’s August and I am a teacher when I’m not in school. But I’m also in a pinch so I’ll take whatever.

Something that will fit in a medium purse.

I don’t really habit track and I don’t like wasting too much space in a planner but again, I’ll take whatever is available and affordable

I’ve been using the hobonichi days free this year because I was unemployed for a chunk of time and only needed to worry about my personal schedule. It was my first hobonichi and I love it but there is nowhere near enough pages for it to suffice once school starts.

I thought about the spring start techo but it doesn’t take me through to the end of the academic year (June), and it also appears to be unavailable everywhere. Despite this, I am willing to get a spring start weeks but I can’t find them anywhere but eBay and I just don’t trust eBay or PayPal and jetpens has been my only source since I started, and they’re sold out.

Open to any and all recommendations or solutions, hobonichi or otherwise. Thank you so much and sorry for the long post!

Im brand new to tatting, like I bought a kit today at the sheep and wool festival and I’ve been tatting my little heart out all afternoon. I’m definitely not new to fiber arts though, so I’ve picked up the double stitch and picot stitch without issue. Everything slides and I can make a ring. However, the nice spacious circle of thread wrapped around my left hand that I put the shuttle through keeps getting smaller and smaller with every stitch to the point where the shuttle doesn’t fit anymore after about 6-8 stitches. Is this a common newbie issue? Am I holding it wrong? Simply pulling to tight when I flip the knot? Any help would be appreciated because I’m having a blast but can’t make more than ten stitches at time because of this. Thank you!

I’d love to hear y’all’s experiences and tips for success with this game.

I’ve been playing the solo mode on redux trying to be a golf champion and I have been absolutely stuck in league 3 even after 6 play throughs. Now, I like a challenge, and I consider myself to be good at roll and writes because they’re my fave and I play them all the time. But I think either it’s just not clicking, or I’m playing the cards wrong (looking at you Atiwa), or I’ve just met my match (please don’t judge), like I really don’t know. For clarity, I really like this game and I’m not mad at it in any way, I’m just trying to understand it more so I have more fun and growth with it.

My questions for you are: How challenging is this game supposed to be? What difficulty did you think it was? And what advice would give someone who is struggling? TYIA!
