If more designers were better at grading patterns, the amount of math I’d have to do when I knit their patterns would likely be significantly less. Everybody wins.

I change them whenever I actually remember. It usually takes days to remember the one in the car.

I haven’t watched baseball since the World Series in 1993. My paternal gramma was a die-hard Jays fan. She watched every game of every season. We watched them together that year.

Oh I wish I could be there!! Have extra fun for me & Jasper!

Happy Caturday from these two.

I spend a lot of time making them bigger and pasting the key on the same page.

And this might be a me thing, but I like when the key for a cable chart tells you which cable the symbol is for AND how to work that cable. Often the ‘what’ is in the key but the ‘how’ is on a glossary somewhere else.

I like it when the key/legend is on the same page as the chart. I have copied & pasted it when it’s not.

It goes in the basket for my Sunday knitting group. When the basket is full I take it in and everyone gets new yarn.

I may have changed my mind about since I bought it, but someone else is going to love it or at least have a purpose for it.

This is hilarious 😆

Couldn’t see it without a whole lot of zooming. I’d leave it. I’ve seen worse in a tutorial. It may have a tiny hair but it is also an excellent illustration of the thing you need. The latter outweighs the former.

The hooligan and I voted today.

I’m proud of my kid for many reasons. I’m particularly proud to say that they have voted in every federal, provincial, and municipal election since they turned 18.

The advanced polls are open all weekend (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 9am to 9pm each day). 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

I’ve been trying to crochet a lobster for three years. I will not be defeated. But in need some space before I try again. (It’s a kit. I’m not inventing anything remarkable. Just trying & failing to follow some instructions. It’s not them. It’s me.)

Elbows up, Canada.

Nope. No. Thanks but I’ll pass.
