Looks like my mum and Meryl Streep have a similar approach to needle storage...

Mine doesn't seem to look different to a ss on the RS. Maybe my tension isn't right. I do like the thickness of the fabric.

I like the fish lips kiss heel, but I try and do new techniques as much as possible. And at the moment my brain doesn't have capacity for critical thinking at the moment!

... irritating on a pattern so many people have done. But maybe I'm the only person who didn't understand!

No, it's a textured stitch, one row purl, then one row sl1, k1. But it just says row 1: purl, so I did it back to front because I just started purling for the first half of the stitches after the marker, but you need to turn and work it on the last half. Not clear at all which is ...

Well, I may not be done with my first of this pair, but I do have one pair I need to do the afterthought heel for, and one I need to darn, so I will definitely join in to get them of my WIP/To Do lists. Thanks!

Thank you so much.
That makes sense to me (after I'd done it wrong once) - even though it doesn't say turn work before starting the heel AND the garter stitch panel faces the wrong way.
I will crack on with them as I started.

Thanks for clarifying- sounds interesting.

I know. The saving grace is that hers are all Pony plastic or metal but yes, it did give me a bit of a rash!

Is it open to any craft? Or are you thinking of something specific?

Gorgeous colours. We're they a set or scraps, or chosen for the project?

I love both, and was think about three colour cable so it really shows the way the stitches plait.

I tend to work online, but print sections if it's complex and needs to be tracked/ticked off row by row.

It looks a bit fiddly, but I agree, the end results always look amazing. Off to Ravelry to have a search...

Oh yes, I did wonder if it was an autocorrect. Steeking terrifies me! But knitting in the round is so much better than flat, so I can see the appeal. Do you do much colourwork?

Thanks, I hope so. It does feel less stimulating than the other sites. Yes, I like to try and do a project that expands my skills, maybe a brioche hat? What is steeling?

Can you give some info about the sensitive nature? Does Emmerdale use trigger warnings at the beginning of episodes? Don't want to watch if it's too close to home.

I almost always cry. Something about that unity just hits me. Every time.

... struggle to focus so usually doom scroll or play stupid games.
This year, I am working to increase my confidence and boundary setting/maintaining, and would like to learn at least 2 new knitting skills - maybe beading, brioche or double knitting? Any recommendations 🧶 3/3

I'm neurodivergent (dyslexic AuDHD) and still learning about my myself with this new awareness.
I'm a proud ally 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ and try to be intersectional and holistic at all times.
I knit, sew,embroider and weave. I love to read but ...

Gah. Radiohead, obvs. Can I edit a post on BlueSky?
comment in response to
post
I do like Radiogead but agree about U2 - totally overrated banality. And Bono is a bellend. Never heard of Ween 😬
I can't think of any obviously popular bands, but I don't like Beyonce which seems to be a capital offence. I think she's talented, but no more so than hundreds of others..

I left Twitter when Musk bought it, but I'm new here since Meta's recent statement about the end of fact checking. It's more Twitter-y than I'd like, because I'm used to IG and FB but I'm trying to adjust!
