There seems to have existed once a rose known as the Velvet Rose. Nobody knows with any certainty what particular rose was meant by this name, but it is supposed that it must have been a Gallica. Nobody knows the place of its origin: #gardening

Totally!
Quality, high end yarn prices are through the roof, like everything else. So many are imported from Europe.
And the manufacturers keep making the skeins smaller, so it can run into money.

Depending on the yarn it could run somewhere btwn $500-$1000.
Or $23.50 if you buy acrylic at Walmart.

PROS:
Iβve been toying with the idea of knitting this vintage pattern.
Iβve re-sized the ancient instructions.
Itβs fantastic.
CONS:
The yarn purchase would require a HEQ loan.
I might not live long enough to finish.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdaniβs supposedly radical policies as βnormalβ
Critics of New York Cityβs mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe itβs a given
This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.
