Should you calculate blocked stitch length or go with unblocked stitch length?

When a pattern says "knit until the work measures 35cm from the cast on edge", should you calculate your knitting so it would measure 35cm blocked or just measure the 35cm unblocked? I want to say unblocked (or it depends on the pattern designer) but don't want to end up with a wonky fit.

I am currently knitting the dagmar zipper sweater from petite knit.

Alocasia Low Rider von Lidl nach 9 Monaten

Ich hatte mir im Oktober oder November letzten Jahres eine Alocasia Low Rider im Lidl geholt mit der festen Überzeugung dieses Mal die Pflanze nicht absterben zu lassen.

Im Dritten Foto sieht man wie sie im November aussah, die anderen sind von gestern. Im März hatte ich sie in einen größeren Topf umgetopft nur mit "Grünpflanzen-/Palmenerde". Vor 3 Wochen waren ihre Wurzeln schon so eng, dass ich sie erneut umgetopft habe, diesmal mit einer Mischung aus der Erde, Orchideenrinde und Bimsgranulat.

Ich bin kompletter Pflanzenanfänger und weiß nicht, ob ihr gerade etwas fehlt. Trotzdem bin ich stolz, weil sie 3 Babys am Boden hat (auf den Fotos sieht man nur 2) und sie wächst gefühlt alle 2/3 Wochen ein neues Blatt. Immer mal wieder verliert sie ein äußeres Blatt (keines der Blätter die sie im November hatte hat sie jetzt noch) aber ich hatte gelesen, das sei normal :)

Has anyone heard of the brand "black flocking fibres"?

Basically the title. I found a nice hand dyed yarn (apparently merino tweed) on ebay but the seller doesn't list any specs except for the yardage. When I went to look up the yarn to find out more information, I couldn't even find the brand. Any clue as to why? My only guess is that they're a temu reseller or something, usually I can find the yarn through image reverse search. Not with this one though.

Edit: Sorry, it's black flock fibres

Update: I feel very silly. I found them on instagram by just searching the name directly there. I limit my instagram time daily so I forgot to look directly oops. Anyway here is the link for anyone interested :)

Should I remove or keep the babies in the same pot?

.I got the alocasia low rider (i think) from a lidl about 8 months ago. I'm not the best at keeping plants but decided (along with a friend who got another alocasia on the same day) I really wanted to try with her. She has been popping out new leaves frequently, especially since I repotted her in march. She wasn't root bound, but with every new leaf she got she lost the oldest one (continuously having 5 leaves) and she only lost one since then.

Now these "babies" are coming through. At first it was only one, now there are three at different sizes. I can't find anything about these and I'm wondering if I should leave them to grow in the same pot or dig them up and put them in a different (small) pot? I'm not sure how good it would be to disturb her root system since she seems so happy right now.
