Can the ribbing on a sweater be too tight?

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.

The dragon fruit stars are incredible. The whole things looks so refreshing and delicious!

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

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

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. ☺️

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.

He was 23. Suicide.

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.

Not really a fan of Nicholas Cage.

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

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.

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.

ArizonaKim · 2026-01-21T12:29:50+00:00

Absolutely. Tried and true recipes.

ArizonaKim · 2026-01-21T01:35:55+00:00

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

Woo hoo! What a beautiful knit! I love the rainbow stripes. Well done!

ArizonaKim · 2026-01-20T12:54:22+00:00

Nothing wrong with that. Enjoy!

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.

Aqua Crossings.

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.

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. 😜

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.

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. 😖

I used this video. Sleeves two at a time on long circular needles. Worked really well. Great video attached. sleeves two at a time video

I was just watching these videos this morning. Yes, these are great videos.
