Came here to say Tetris!
This reads like a sideways "leave the bike at home or you'll die" post, but assuming the satirical tone is my own dark-humor brain, it does make sense to have things in order regardless of transportation methods. Fatal car wrecks happen every day.
To clarify, I don't live in a city, I live about 30 minutes outside of one, where almost everything is a 20+ minute drive. And it wouldn't be my main mode of transportation (I couldn't bike to work, I'm uncomfortable walking to my car at night when I get off, there's no way I'd bike home), just quick runs to the closest grocery store, or maybe some trips to the coffee shops that I've noticed I pass while driving to my longer errands.
Thanks for the info! I also can't memorize lace, but I still enjoy knitting it so I get what you're talking about. Please share your bixbite when you start it!
Brioche is on my list of things I want to learn in the near future! Is it fun? Is it complicated? Would you recommend this as a first brioche project? Looks great so far!
I think she just enjoyed exploring the folds/irregular hiding places. It's a pretty thick yarn so it probably gives her a feeling of security.
Mine too! I feel like it's the best way to avoid wasting yarn. As for your question, if I'm starting with a skein/anything hard to pull from, I make it into one ball. Then I borrow my husband's kitchen scale, tare it with a yarn bowl, and weigh the ball of yarn in grams. Leaving the ball on the scale, I hand roll a ball from the end until the number on the scale is half of the original number. I even swap the balls to make sure they weigh the same. Then I cut the yarn between the balls and just hope my gauge stays consistent enough to use up the yarn at the same rate!
Lol as long as he's comfortable!
Right? I mean we're keeping it available, and he has a bigger bed too, he just looks a little silly.
It's a throw blanket for the living room. The yarn was on clearance so I could actually afford enough for an adult sized blanket. I got excited when she started exploring it though!
Yes, I got it too!
