In April I made it to level 100 around Easter, in May (when I have been gaming less due life) I got to level 100 last Monday. Overall in April I finished on level 170 and in May I'll be somewhere approx. 120.

I haven't looked for the changes they have made for month of June, but the April and May passes had 200 points daily of the task and you can earn additional 300 points per day by catching Pokemons (5p/each), hatching eggs (40p/each) or winning raids (100p/each) or any combination of these.

Unfortunately the barfs do gather. If the original pull doesn't come out the right place it will barf until everything inside of the miss placed pull has been pulled out.

As a genealogist my first advice would be: a side of the cut screenshot, please add the link to the source, so can zoom in and out more freely and compare the writing to other words on the page. Transkribus sometimes can help, but it is not very good on older texts.

It is one of those migrant biases. You see the changes in your life and in you, but not in the society/culture you left behind.

In the Australian Border Securitu-program they show officials wearing data/measuring devices to prevent this, so it would be more a question what type of an employer you have...

I think a version of broken seed stitch would be best. In general busy yarns are good friends with plain patterns and busy patterns with plain yarns.

Maybe try that first and estimate the rolling after that.

osansa, samoin se, millaista lankaa käyttää). Mä en itse tarvitse juurikaan lisää silmukoita kirjoneuleeseen, koska käsiala on niin erilainen joustinneuletta ja kirjoneuletta neuloessa, ja yleensä korostan tätä usein isommalla puikkokoolla. Eli kokeilemalla ja laskemalla selviää.

Tässä kohdassa parhaiten auttaa se ruma sana, eli mallitilkku. Kirjoneuleen lisäksi lisättävään silmukkamäärään vaikuttaa neuletiheys ja käytetty puikkokoko, samoin se, miten korkealta pohjetta aloitat sukanvarren. Eli suoranaista sääntöä ei voi antaa (koska myös kuvion sovittaminen vaatii oman

Yep... I was hesitant to say "not much of the "World" nor the "Con" in WorldCon", but I did deffinetly think that. 😅

I haven't read the preguals, because I haven't found them as e-book or library books in English.

The books are mostly well written, but the dystopic world is there all the time. The YA romance is much over glued (like: "o shit, there is supposed to be this love drama, let's put it here). It is not a light read by any means.

Depends on how the friend feels about having unfinished things around them. I currently have ~50 WIPs (+/-5), and it is not too many, but I also know people to whom 2 WIPs is 1 too many.

That's probably The easiest name I've heard for the style! Althought I have to say, I don't mind talking about "gubbeväv", which roughly translates into "old-man/grandpa weave", because it is funny! I love your sheep, how many shafts you have at use?

It looks lovely, but it seems to be a bit too big for you, which probably also affects the thumb placing.

If I understood correctly, it is not the work of the author causing the copywrite issue, it is the photos/charts/schematics that the author has been given to use in their work, and is not up to them to decide of the copywrite.

At least the library database nor the librarian I exchanged messages with aknowledged the existence of it, nor the author. The author did promise to answer any questions I might have of their topic, but I feel "the first 500 years of this practice" isn't well formated question enough...

I recently ran into a doctoral dissertation with so binding copyright, that even the author was unable to send a copy to me. As far I can see, there isn't a single hard copy anywhere (or it is very well hidden), I have to wonder, that that's the point to write research that nobody can read?

Well, one stitch won't do a thing (and usually there is a slight size difference left vs. right side anyway), so you could just take little leftover yarn after finishing the sock and do an imitation stitch over the yo.

The pope elect has to be elligble to become a bishop, so he must be a baptised Catholic, and to become a bishop, he has to be unmarried as well, and that has to be through never married, or through being a widower.

If possible, you should find a technical editor first. In general testers are easy to find via social media, if possible to use; Ravelry, asking crocheting friends etc.

You can also just use some yarn scraps and make a loop with knot at right distance...

I'm still questioning my senses because trying to knit a Medieval Eclesticial glove in 8-0/6-0 (or hopefully 5-0!) needles and silk with 80+ stitches per 10cm/4" sounds like a lot of stitches!

Mlle Riego, and her British co-crocheters deffinetly made crocheting into the craft it is today, so I don't think their role is any less meaningful. We know their names and we can see the work they put in. They also greatly affected the pattern writing in most textile crafts.

Well, there is evidence of crocheting pattern(s) being published in German between 1795-1800, so I would say, it is more likely that she didn't invent it, but deffinetly did develope it further. The slip stitch crocheting is also considered to be before her time.

In the internet age it is usually the other way around, that's not nalbinding, that's crochet! 😅

In modern knitting yes, a lot of the earlier knitted garments are knit so fine gauge, that we would cry out of the sheer thought...

Well, the benefit (the one and only) of looped garments is that they can be made in 3D. It will provide more precise fitting, the stretch works differently to woven textiles, but if you are going to sew the seams, it would be more economical to weave the fabric.
