I have no answers to that question. BUT It proves that WE have to call our representatives and senators. Don't assume that just because they are Democrats that they'll vote the way you want them to on these issues. They must hear from each us on what we want!

The following four Democrats voted to pass the bill through Congress:

Jared Golden, ME
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, WA
Henry Cuellar, TX
Ed Case, HI
How can we turn this around when the dem party can't even be united on voting rights? Just sickening

White knitting needle stoppers decorated with a hippo in a pink tutu wearing pink ballet shoes as she dances around. Above  her are the words Don't be a twatopotamus.

This president thought it more important to go golfing than to pay respect to fallen soldiers returned home this weekend or to help states in need.

I took a class from a teacher who worked big designers. I asked her about the "skip the stitch" and she said just do it right (don't skip). If you do it for decoration that's different from avoiding how to knit a nice edge without it. I would urge you to learn both. Techknitter is a fab resource
