After reading your comments - I will not burn the ends don’t worry! Will just knot and weave as normal 🥲** **

Made a vest in chenille yarn just because I desperately wanted to use these colours specifically but couldn’t find them in any other material except chenille, I used a bigger hook to create more air holes and also made the arm holes bigger so that the fabric wouldn’t touch under my arms and get sweaty so I’ll need to wash it less often, but is it still a bad idea? Should I just frog it and make a blanket instead?

My new prescription didn’t make sense to me so I ended up asking for advice on here a month ago as it was quite different from my sight test 2 years ago. Finally bought the glasses with the new prescription and within seconds of wearing the glasses I become extremely dizzy and disoriented and start to get a headache. I also get curved vision and feel like I’m in a fish bowl. Have been trying to adapt as I know it takes time but went back to the optician just to check it wasn’t an issue since I bought the glasses online (thought it might have been an issue with the manufacturing) Went back today and he’s lowered the prescription- including one of my astigmatism corrections. He said it’s difficult because I need a stronger prescription but my eyes / brain aren’t liking it at all. Was I supposed to just keep pushing through and wait until the symptoms settle or is lowering my prescription the right thing? Is wearing weaker lenses than I actually need going to cause issues? First picture is today’s retest, second picture is the original prescription and last photo is my prescription from 2 years ago!

I have never worked with chenille yarn but absolutely fell in love with these colours- I have 500g of yarn so could probably make a top but just wondered if anyone had any chunky yarn pattern recs!
