I cannot wait until this fashy admin is out. So, maliciously compliant on the rare instances they comply.

Now I’m craving Mac and cheese.

And if the needle is proportionally too long for the cord it’s going to constantly stress the join. That’s poor design. Ugh!

How frustrating. Chiao Goo is very expensive but at least they will replace broken needles. I find Knit Picks have really affordable good quality needles.

Russia sent Pete a case of Vodka. As if this man wasn’t the biggest walking talking security leak.

I was thinking about a make for my daughter who was born on Chinese New Years. But, tbh she’s entering the hot flash stage of life and I can’t see sts on Sz1 needles. So I’m just going to admire your piece.

I just sent to save it on Ravelry. Done in fine fingering yarn and size 1 needles! Gosh, that must have taken ages to make. What a work of art.

It is gorgeous. It must have been a lot of fun to knit.

I am never making a stitch with Kf&b in stockinette again. I don’t care what trick someone has, there’s going to be a bump.

Oh, drats! I do not like knots in my socks.

Sorry. Don’t know where my head was at that I didn’t check that. Thanks.

Nice. Perfect for warmer weather. Do you have the pattern name at hand?

They do tend to be bigger when wet. 🀞 for you.

And they look as cozy as they are fun.

If made with ease I think 4-5 inches is plenty. But I’m a shirt person so ease of 6-8 inches looks like a tent on me. It’s a totally different look in a tall person.

I think bust darts, creating more fabric for fuller busts and then subtracting it back to the original count most helpful if it’s just the bust that is fuller. Wearing an oversized all over piece isn’t flattering. I love that you’re asking.

Purl front and back. I never found a how to either when I came across it in a pattern. I found it looked most pleasing and easiest to do it the opposite of kf&b. So purl through the back leg and then the purl front leg. Pretty it’s sure what I did. No needles at game to double check.

That’s great. Have you a follow.

Oooh! I love the geometric look of the lace. I often gravitate to organic motifs but this is so special.

I would definitely make this. I’ll have to see if I can find it.

Is there another way? πŸ€”

Possibly I did. If anyone in the 505 is looking I’ll give them the deets.

It’s always about MN on Friday. Congress should be acted on Wed after the SOTU but the MAGA majority have acceded all their constitutional powers to a sadistic felon with historical levels of serial crimes. But I have to stop chatting in it because now I wanna

That makes me feel so much better. I mean when auticirrrct can’t correct β€œCan’t see the forest fir the trees” one has to wonder if it sees either.

I record favorite series shows for just such times. Nature on PBS is very soothing. We need to witness but also living with constantly elevated cortisol levels is bad for our health. So witness, do what you can to make a difference, and also restore.

I was getting ready for bed at MN in my time zone when the news broke. Wellll, probably won’t sleep but maybe I’ll catch some rage fueled nightmare sleep?
