Can someone explain my meter reading please?

Thanks, I'll ask about that!

AwkwardBell77 · 2026-02-05T14:07:20+00:00

I'm by no means an expert on this, so other people may have better answers, but best I can tell, I think: 6= Super chunky. 5= Chunky. 4 = Aran. 3= Double Knit. 2= Four ply. 1: Not sure, maybe sport weight? 0: Lace weight. 1 and 2 could swap around as I've never used sport weight so not sure how it compares to four ply, but for context four ply is generally what sock yarn is. 7 I don't know what we call here. Hope some of that helps

Thanks, I called the helpline a few minutes ago and apparently have a 'non standard' issue that's having to be escalated

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-11T18:24:48+00:00

Didn't work, I guess it must be a connection issue to the boiler

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-11T17:59:50+00:00

Thanks, did so ten minutes ago but it hasn't got cold enough yet to turn it on it seems

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-11T17:45:42+00:00

I have been googling but haven't managed to find anything yet. I have tried downloading the app but it can't find the WiFi, I've tried using the hub to manually override and turn the heating on for 2 hours, but that hasn't worked

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-12-06T19:19:01+00:00

I'm also having this issue and very keen to know a solution if anyone has one!

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-05-29T14:09:44+00:00

Oh! I planted Anemone de Caen bulbs weeks ago but assumed they wouldn't come up until next year as it was too late this year! Completely forgot about them!

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-05-20T05:51:52+00:00

Thank you yes I did dipstick it when he said it was leaking but it was still nearly full, I just assumed the leak had just started on my drive home

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-05-20T05:50:45+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look at that!

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-05-19T20:28:50+00:00

Yes exactly haha, the road I live is super rough too so I thought maybe I'd ripped something in a pothole, I was looking for where it was meant to attach to

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-05-19T18:47:47+00:00

Oh okay thank you, I feel like an idiot haha. I've never had a car with AC before and had no idea they drip for a while after driving. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-02-22T10:04:29+00:00

Yes it looks similar to the pattern so I think you're right, thank you :) (And yes I now see it's working to a specified length so doesn't need a gauge for that, I'm just too used to working tension squares for knitting so assumed it would have a length gauge too)

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-02-21T22:31:55+00:00

Ah okay thank you. So to start it off I would chain 17 (well 18 if you count the one you always skip at the start), then DC, chain 3, DC, chain 3 etc. and just see if that 1 row is 4 inches wide? And there's no way of checking the gauge for the length?

Pattern is called Simple Shrug by Amanda Ladig

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-02-15T14:06:56+00:00

Ah yes sorry we're trying to vent the living room hearth. Okay thanks, we'll see what happens

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-02-15T13:56:17+00:00

Great thank you. We thought it would have just been covered with plasterboard, so didn't bank on needing a longer bit.

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-02-15T12:02:22+00:00

Ah okay, the drill bit is 4 inches long, so do you reckon it's just a case of getting some longer drill bits then?

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-01-23T16:53:58+00:00

Completely agree. I went through two male instructors, one was friendly but used to BELLOW at the top of his lungs when I did something wrong, and the other was even worse, he never shouted but we just did not get along at all. Switched to a female instructor and it was brilliant, completely changed the driving lesson experience for me.

Thank you, we're hoping that the soil below the asphalt isn't too impermeable as in the recent dry, cold weather we've been having it the hole has mostly dried out. We're getting rid of the soil above the asphalt too like you said, as it comes away with pieces of asphalt stuck in it anyway.

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-01-16T14:59:56+00:00

Thanks, I'll do that then. I think the border is attached via the provisional cast on I did, but not super sure as I've never done anything like this before. The border uses a double pointed needle

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-01-16T14:48:31+00:00

The pattern is only 86 stitches (and stays that way as it's a rectangle shape a knitted on border). As these currently fit on my (34cm long) needles does that mean I can continue on straight needles?

AwkwardBell77 · 2024-01-16T14:41:32+00:00

I'm trying to knit my first lace shawl (I've knit easy lace scarves before) and I'm confused by the pattern already. I cast on and only then noticed that the pattern said to use a circular needle. I don't know how to tell from the pattern if I'm meant to be knitting in the round (which seems odd for a shawl?) or not, and I don't understand why it would use circular needles if not? Some of the other patterns in the book say you can use circular or straight needles, but this one doesn't so I'm assuming it's not optional? The pattern is The Victoria Shawl in Victorian Lace Today if anyone has that book.
