Thank you. What weight/guage yarn are you using?

My first thought. Pretty on display but it would get wrecked real quick. Sorry, donโ€™t know the name.

I love that cabled pumpkin. It deserves a written pattern jic you need encouragement to write it up.

Amazing work. It makes me think of Delftware.

Iโ€™m sure it can vary. But most have a thin profit line so they might not invest in paying local knitters for samples when they can get free ones. Good luck. It could be fun if you find.

Keep that in mind if purchasing from Ireland, UK, Eur or Australia. Worsted is a spinning technique. It can come in many weights/guages from spinners who use the word in the original definition.

Yes because thereโ€™s no twist. So in Europe or Australia they would not use the term worsted on this because the term originated to describe three spins twisted around each other and had nothing to do with the weight or gauge of the fabric. Worsted has come to refer to a weight here in Americas. 1/

Much more. Private housing, apartments, land fir building, land fir farming, hospitals. Itโ€™s a huge problem and this is what keeps inflation high.

That would be hard. It would require an army of knitters for stock to cover the brick and mortar shop. Maybe you can get a booth together with knitting friends for a seasonal fare.

LOL! Thatโ€™s the spirit. Mine looked way worse. Itโ€™s like a toddler learning to walk. Our brain and muscles are learning new things.

I even have a name for my imaginary dream shop. But thereโ€™s also the paperwork, taxes, monitoring the exorbitant cut ETSY takes and taxes would have to be paid. That could get complicated with multiple artisans. Maybe we need our own platform to streamline it a bit.

They usually get samples from the companies that sell them yarn. Not saying itโ€™s impossible to make it happen, but the samples they get are free.

We should all ban together. Iโ€™ve often thought about this.

Itโ€™s not a worsted & canโ€™t behave like it because there is no twist to the fiber which is what defines worsted. I knit a long (expensive) cabled wrap w it. Was so disappointed w the stitch definition. My cables always pop but theyโ€™re very flat in Rios, designers choice ad it was a test knit.

Sharing this post so I can read it a little bit at a time. Bec I think private equity is one of the most evil inventions of the last century and a driver in crises around the globe. So I can only read a little bit at a time before my BP soars. You see itโ€™s not just about knitting ๐Ÿงถ This is global

MSNBC and j dependent media sources have been doing interviews with victims and doing more coverage. @aaronparnas in IG, TT owns Bluesky is sticking with it.

NM congressional Districts.

NM congressional Districts.

The 2nd district like all districts in NM are huge because of our geographics. Albuquerque makes up a tiny part of the district. A lot of rural voters complained ABQ had too much influence.

I donโ€™t disagree. It makes me so upset for the survivors knowing what they went through to bring these crimes to light and everyoneโ€™s response was basically โ€œwhatโ€™s on netfix?โ€ We owe it to them to keep the pressure on.
