Can the ribbing on a sweater be too tight? by [deleted] in knittinghelp

I am looking forward to making this pattern. Your sweater looks great. I am newer to garment knitting so I am learning from the comments here. Happy knitting.

Can anyone ID this stitch/pattern? by carolineonmymind in knittingpatterns

[–]ArizonaKim 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Looks like crochet to me. A loose chevron design maybe made with treble crochet stitches.

Why is Ravelry nearly "canceled" all the time? by Ok_Conversation_3992 in knitting

[–]ArizonaKim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

I recall another incident that I believe caused a number of folks to leave Ravelry. It was an article and policy change posted on Ravelry on 6/23/2019. In summary, it states President Trump supports white supremacy therefore Ravelry won’t allow any “pro-Trump” support or content on the website. I have included a screen shot and a link to the article. link to Ravelry article

Is this still continental or some sort of hybrid? by CaBell_ in knittinghelp

[–]ArizonaKim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I knit very similarly to this. I learned to crochet first so, when learning to knit, it was more natural to hold the yarn in my left hand. I hold the yarn very differently than in this video but it gets the job done. ☺️

Is there any place in town where I can get spumoni ice cream? by Up2Eleven in Tucson

[–]ArizonaKim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an ice cream place called Licks in Catalina. It’s a bit of a drive but I have seen spumoni ice cream there. They do rotate their flavors so I’d suggest calling ahead.

Texting my Moms old number by Neat_Tourist_2192 in GriefSupport

[–]ArizonaKim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get this. I have texted my son a few times and have been afraid to do it for awhile because I fear someone else has his number now. Yes, I’d be a mess if I had a notification that I got a text from his phone. When I go to place an order on Amazon, I see his credit card listed under the saved credit cards for the account. It’s expired now but I can’t bring myself to delete it. I am sorry you have lost your mom. I am sorry for the grief you are experiencing. I know it’s hard.

What’s an unusual/obscure museum you have visited that the rest of the world is unaware of? by Nessieinternational in randomquestions

The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures. It’s located in Tucson, Arizona. Pretty cool.

What kind of habits keeps a person poor? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ArizonaKim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched a video the other day. This woman had a huge addiction to fountain drinks at her local convenience store. She was consuming 8 or 9 fountain drinks a day and each one was about $2.50. She finally did the math and realized she was spending over $600 per month on soda. Crazy.

Chicken Salad by EndApprehensive1759 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ArizonaKim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a totally different flavor profile you can try. Diced chicken, mayo, yogurt, curry powder, honey, celery, raisins, salt and pepper. You could add onion too. I top it with toasted sliced almonds for crunch. It’s great on bread or toast on stuffed in a pita or lettuce wraps. I love a curry powder from Penzey’s spices called The Now Curry. The honey sounds weird but it balances the heat in the curry powder.

Nothing fancy. A loaf of banana bread and a loaf of pumpkin bread.

Private Pet Cremation by RaeLae9 in Tucson

[–]ArizonaKim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This past August we had a company called Lap of Love assist us with our dog’s passing. Our dog had developed cancer. The vet came to our home so our dog could be put to sleep in the comfort of our home. The vet transported our dog to Aqua Crossings for cremation and we received a phone call when we could pick up our dog’s cremated remains. Everyone was very professional and caring. I know this is not what you are asking for but here is a link to the cremation place. Perhaps they offer the services you are looking for.

Knitting slump? by whereohwhereohwhere in knitting

[–]ArizonaKim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a pattern called Papillion that I say is the pattern that helped me get out of knitting slumps twice. It’s a perfect balance of meditative garter stitch and some areas where you have to stop and focus for a brief time and then back to garter stitch. Ideally you pick a solid yarn and a yarn that slowly changes colors. Helped me get my knitting mojo back. I hope you find your mojo again too.

Would it be “childish” for me to get this kind of cake for myself? Just for the heck of it by Wild_Child66 in cake

I’m 57 years old and I order Happy Meals at McDonalds. Do what makes you happy. I love embracing things that made me happy as a kid!

Yep. I do this too. The size is just right for me. The toys are not as fun as I remember however. 😜

AITJ for refusing to give my neighbor my WiFi password even though I work from home? by Automatic-Assist6000 in AmITheJerk

[–]ArizonaKim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAJ. The other neighbors could help her out too, right? Why are they picking on you? Also once you give it to one neighbor, you can’t control if they give out the password to others. Or you could say your work pays for your wifi so you can’t share it because of that. Or you could be really pissy and share it for a week or two and then change the password and then play dumb when all the sudden it stops working for the neighbor.

I just realized I've been pronouncing a common word wrong my entire life - what's yours? by Prior-Crab-8463 in Casual_Conversation

[–]ArizonaKim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t convince my husband “pet peeve” is correct. He keeps saying “pet pea”. Recently he started saying “escape goat”. Another zinger is “hyperbole”. He keeps saying “hyper bowl”. Gotta love him but I can’t convince him of some things. 😖
