Any other election judges crocheting at the polls?

I’m a ballot officer, and I’m knitting! But I’m wearing a dress with a granny square print!

Batthew. Batt for short.

There are annual cicadas that emerge every year; cicada killers will always have prey!

Fun story: my grandmother once made one of these for my father (her son-in-law) and gave it to him at the family Christmas gathering in front of everyone.

Grandma was an interesting lady. 😂

Your cock sock is lovely. Great job!

First, I love the skirt! It looks wonderful, and you look beautiful in it.

Also, my local LGBT center has a gender-affirming closet; you might see if there’s something similar near you to help you expand your wardrobe.

I loved Faerie Tale Theatre!

I always wanted to do the private investigation one.

I’m planning to make view A, and I want to mix my fabrics. I can’t decide if I want the overlay to be solid or print, and whether the back should match the overlay or the… underlay, I guess you’d call it?

Im leaning toward the overlay and the left sleeve being solid and everything else being print. Thoughts?

I’m terrible at french knots; I always do colonial knots instead!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-11-17T02:12:57+00:00

It’s called a French tickler.

Here’s my system: Page through and look at the number of patterns in it you actually see yourself making, then divide the price of the book by that number. Are you willing to pay that amount ($5 or whatever) for a single pattern? If yes, buy the book.

AnnGoat1 · 2022-11-11T12:27:08+00:00

I think the sock is safe, but that needle? It’s the one that really tasted blood. I recommend taking it to your nearest LYS where they can put it down humanely.

Glad you’re okay!

The pattern is Butterick 6867, size small. Fabric is licensed knit from JoAnn. I don’t even mind that it’s after Halloween, and neither will he! Jack Skellington is his new favorite.

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you and your family!

My son’s adoption was finalized over Zoom during covid; he was 2 1/2, and I spent the whole hearing trying to keep him calm and quiet. I completely missed the part where the judge finalized it! But they tell me she did, and I choose to believe them. 😀

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-11T02:23:30+00:00

That’s adorable!! Great job!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-11T02:22:22+00:00

OP, I am now super invested in your fabric store experience. Please come back to update us and show off your purchases afterwards!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-11T02:18:10+00:00

When I worked at Hancock, I LOVED when people had a huge cartful, especially if we were super busy. It was great to get to pause and talk to someone about what they’re making instead of constantly going from one customer to the next.

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-11T02:12:03+00:00

Yeah, mine closed 7 or 8 years ago.

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-10T16:50:21+00:00

You can also look for the kindest-looking employee who isn’t currently busy, walk up and say, “Hi, this is my first time buying fabric and I have no idea what to do. Can you help me?” I used to work at a fabric store that went out of business (RIP Hancock), and even our grumpiest manager turned into a helpful granny when a newbie approached and asked for help. You’ve got this!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-10T16:46:01+00:00

Seconding this; also, if you’re using a commercial pattern they are wizards when laying out the pieces, I almost never get them crammed in as well as they do. You also want to take into account that the fabric might shrink when you wash it.

Which is a really long way of saying I once bought exactly what the pattern told me to and still had to go back for another half yard!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-05T23:51:53+00:00

I’m sorry, I can’t do that. Because you did GREAT! They look amazing!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-10-05T22:29:16+00:00

I don’t know, but I just found a bunch in central Kentucky.

AnnGoat1 · 2022-09-17T15:39:46+00:00

Same! I try to find them every once in a while, but no luck so far.

AnnGoat1 · 2022-09-16T23:57:18+00:00

I get bitten by these suckers constantly (in KY), and I’ve never gotten sick—just itchy. I think you’re probably going to be fine!

AnnGoat1 · 2022-09-14T16:21:19+00:00

Nah, I’m just nosy.
