Hey folks!
This is an atypical “Help me find”, but here we go.

Were you in Rye, East Sussex on 25th October 2025?

Did you see my husband and I “parade” behind the town crier from the town hall to The Mermaid?

Did you take any photos or videos of our wedding party/us/guests?

If so, can I see them please?

Thank you!

To try and find this I’ve searched local groups on Facebook for our wedding date, I looked on google, and I even asked some locals in Rye that I know.

-water with peach and raspberry squash in it (was frozen, melted in the heat
-coffee with milk
-a fizzy Belvior Farm sparkling elderflower drink

WIP is vanilla socks on a mini circ. Yarn is a bamboo sock yarn, but I lost the label. Sorry.

I got this backpack from VaultTec (EB Games) shortly after FO4 came out.

It’s my EDC/work bag/overnight bag. It has travelled across oceans with me as a carryon, it was my daily university bag, and it’s now my work bag.

I have had to sew a hole in the top, and one of the straps is tied on now, and a lot of the pleather is peeling. But I tell myself it just looks well-travelled, rather than grotty.

Please forgive my rudimentary questions, but I’m a beginner. I would usually ask my mom, but she passed in December so I’m coming to you lovely folks instead.

Pic 1: zoomed out photo: why are my stitches sort of _wibbly_ and uneven? Is it a matter of practice? Does this look okay anyways? Are there ways to improve?

Pic 2: close up photo: I’m doing what the kit suggested and using two strands, but the white Aida is still visible, even though it’s not visible in the picture on the kit (pic 4). Is this because I’m doing something wrong?

Pic 3: back: I know my back is a disaster. I don’t know how to neatly “finish” a strand. I’m doing loop start to make the two strands, but how can I “finish” a thread more neatly, please? Also, the white thread and the two brown ones on the edges are bc I had “leftover” thread from the sections they were used for and I *think* there are those colours nearish to the edge of this page. Is this “parking” or is that something different?

General questions:

I think I’m doing 3/4sts wrong. I’ve been doing both colours for the short /s and then also doing both colours for the long \ ones too, kind of overlapping them. Is this wrong? The kit said to do it like that but it seemed bulky.

When I have a section of less than ~10sts, that’s nowhere near any others of that colour, I cut the strand from the card in half and use that, but then I’m sometimes left with unusable lengths of thread due to using the loop start. Should I be doing something different?

Thanks for all your help from you lovely people. I’m sure I’ll have many more questions in future. Sorry for the novel.

Much love from a clumsy beginner. ❤️
