Cheerful Sass-mouth into #Nature, #kdrama, #kpop, esp. Kings of Pop the #OT7 #BTS, #midcenturymodstyle, #Wisconsin, home reno, pets, what's going on. Leftward with situational profanity. I don't follow those who mostly repost. Too repetitive, sorry.

I was home sick from kindergarten and TV newscaster broke in to report what happened.

I grew up thinking it took courage to be a political leader. Oh well.

Actually, no. I take a designer's pattern/math for sizes & modify it for my preferences or limitations. (I hate to frog/reknit.) So I can look at a pattern's chart(s) to decide how to adapt it for a do-able rhythm and fewer mistakes while reading #kdrama subtitles! I'm loosey goosey w/patterns gen.

Thank you!
I see so many little boo-boos in the 1st. So in the 2nd made a point to design an easy to execute 23-st pattern on the WS. I wear my knits a lot so I do get use from them. It really helps me not blow a gasket in today's insane situation.

(I'm listening to SAMKIM right now!πŸ₯°)

Suggestion: file it against Donald Trump personally.

He is NOT IMMUNE from civil law suits, even the shitty SCOTUS MAGA majority has already found that in recent cases.

Rewatching #kdrama #MrQueen on VIKI and wow the subtitles have so much more explanation of jokes, cultural references, puns on modern Korean slang, etc. I’m enjoying it even more the second time around.

So my latest version of Jared Flood’s Channel Cardigan. Gonna knit body in one piece as designed but w/my own 23-st panels. No raglan for my broad shoulders, doing simple inset armhole, p/u & knit sleeves down from shoulder edges. Real color pretty heathered blue.

Nobel prizes are only given to living recipients so #tRump must survive another 12 months to whine for it again.

The committee gave this year's peace prize to a woman, giving him a middle finger.

For width, gauge #sts/inch X width wanted=sts CO.
Decr/incr in width: inches diff. X st gauge=sts to +/- or BO
For +/- in width over height: height Γ· sts to +/- =distance bet. (distance X row gauge = +/- over # of rows).
Find a similar pattern & crib shaping details but use ur #s to help you.

I taught myself to knit & don't follow patterns exactly. I simplify fussy details, mix&match features, construction or techniques to try. I've learned SO MUCH on Ravelry.com from master knitters-I'm impulsiveknitchik & leave lots of notes for myself to remember what I did. Have fun! You'll do great

Wow, concert in the Midwest?! I’m happy for you that you’ve heard some Kpop stars & they do have dates in the midwest. Was Kang Daniel great? I watched Kcon 2025 documentary on VIKI and what an experience! Not for me, but impressive.

Don’t sweat it. Get a fairly good biggish swatch knit & washed as u will do, get per inch st/row gauge &measure orig sweater lengths & widths desired.It’s easier to calculate incr/decrs over height with rows per inch. I knit pocket linings for gauges w/2size ndls and use both! Easy peasy! Go for it

also like Replica, When you pour down on me. (got the EP, all 4 songs v. good)

Seems like he released singles earlier in his career. That Kind of Love, v. nice.

No Jpop or jazzy jpop in my library till now, but his voice is sinuous, song is killer!
Wow, new genre!

He did a song feat. BTS! 'Bad Girl.'

Got 'Moon in the Ocean,' lovely. Also 'Gravity,' 'What's on Your Mind'

I wonder if V was inspired by Lee Hyun's style of singing/voice.

I live in the US, most people here are tearing hair out literally or figuratively. It's just awful rn.

I notice The Rose is categorized as "alternative" but Kpop newbies Kickflip have some overlap R&R influences in their debut EP, too. Wonder if The Rose would get more attention as #kpop band?

Have It's You with ZICO, If & The One in my music so far but I'll do another dive in to sample.

I buy rather than stream (I'm old as dirt)
