Same! I can put a simple pattern on the leg, as long as it's something I don't have to look at much and can easily remember, but the foot is always plain, and I always go back to my favorite 6" metal size 0 dpns.

This is the largest Slug I've made so far using the amazing pattern by @gwenbeads.bsky.social I intend to turn it into a necklace somehow, maybe with wirework links. #beading

The Presidentβ€”who uses antisemitic slursβ€”is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Take your final desired length and multiply by your post-blocking row gauge, and that will tell you how many rows to knit. Divide the answer by your pre-blocking row gauge, and that will tell you how many inches to knit.

Hi! This is *actually* antisemitism, in case you have been confused in any way.

1/5 Watched @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Sen. Angus King today. Sen. King spoke of writing your Reps. & Sen. How important it is, it does make a difference. Then saw this. A lot of screen shots but a good idea. Stick to issues effecting you or those you know. Be Specific.

I think you could get something similar by doing just a couple of repeats of the Scolosaur pattern from @knitty.com in a bulky yarn? knitty.com/ISSUEff20/PA...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Gunpoint.

Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right.

In any other country, we'd call it a coup.
