10/10 no notes. Does she have an online store?
SNORT. Fair.
Oh yes please
New issue of Knitty is up, and my technical advice column is all about Blocking. I aim to answer a few FAQs, bust a few myths, and provide some easy solutions. knitty.com/ISSUEss26/FE... 🧶
And @pattylyons.bsky.social has written about this, too... pattylyons.com/2015/10/tues...
Oooh fun people disagree with me about slipping the first stitch of the row. It's a good way to make a neat edge for a scarf, but it makes seaming more difficult and can make your seams less stable. More on this... www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/te...

I needed a cigarette after reading that. (Complimentary)
Since it came up again, here is my advice to anyone who wants to knit socks but finds them intimidating:
Start with baby socks, ideally DK or worsted-weight. They are quick and easy, and they will give you a sense of How Socks Work that translates fully to grown-up sizes.

Toronto! Go outside! But also prepare the towels for wiping off your very muddy dog.

I have never satisfactorily answered the question about why two of my all-time fave comfort watches involve the Soviets. (RED OCTOBER being the other of course.)
And by 'infrastructure', you mean 'will to live' and 'already fraying mental health', yeah?
Dementia runs in my family. If I hadn't already had the vaccine I would be banging on the door of my local pharmacy this morning.
I am *so* over it.
I wish I could
We have had SO MUCH of it. Too much.
oh look it snowed
Pickle. A VERY GOOD GIRL.
I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful!
I mean... would watch.
