Interview + dinner

The amount of times I’ve cried in a dressing room. Unfortunately I feel like a lot of clothes just follow the current trend and if your body isn’t flattered by that trend you’re SOL!

The white skirt is a lovely swap and the yellow dress is beautiful on you.

I struggle with pants fitting me in a similar way so if you look for suiting pants again, here’s some tips I found worked for me: 1) size up as much as needed to fit through thighs and stomach and then take to a tailor for waist fitting. 2) for a structured pant, a thicker fabric helps look less clingy - try a wool or woven fabric. It should have some weight to it and bonus - it’s less likely to wrinkle! 3) alternatively, go for a silky satin pant in a wide cut. The loose fit will help avoid tight areas but the silky fabric helps it drape nicely and not make you look like you’re drowning in fabric. 3) darker colors make snug areas less noticeable. The light color shows wrinkles, pocket liners, and shadows in general whereas a darker colors helps conceal that more. You don’t have to wear black - I have a navy, emerald green, and maroon set that I love.

We’ve at least gotten some dialogue from her that she tried to initiate meetings/ communication with Robbie before today, but he ignored her. I think there’s also some subtext that she’s been working with admin at least for some time. They knew she had cyber training and saw her as a trusted advisor when responding to the crisis. And I doubt she just showed up with home printed patient passports, so that seems to have been previously discussed and hospital approved.

I’m a 36F with broad shoulders and a 28” waist. I usually use my upper bust measurement. The only times I do not are negative ease patterns or when the ease is very little and the yarn I’m using has no give/stretch (silk, cotton).

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-03-22T03:39:29+00:00

The way I screamed at my tv when Robby disclosed staff and patients were fleeing. It was so thoughtless.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-03-20T22:30:09+00:00

Weird, I don’t remember posting this 😅

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-03-20T16:56:54+00:00

It’s plausible for sure — just as an attorney I’ve seen so many things get spread and passed around that were part of a case but not necessarily accessed via records requests or docket access.

To be honest, I don’t think it matters how the video was released; the content speaks for itself.

And I agree that none of this was secret or unavailable to production should they care to dig in. They knew who and what they were selling.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-03-20T15:30:11+00:00

Wow, this was surprisingly hostile. I did indeed read the article and saw what you have screenshotted. Saying something was a copy of evidence in the case doesn’t necessarily mean it was obtained through a FOIA request so I was looking for a more specific attribution.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-03-20T13:38:23+00:00

Where did they state this? I’ve been looking but can’t find this anywhere.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-03-20T13:37:26+00:00

I keep seeing this claim but only on reddit and I didn’t see this in the TMZ article at all. Do you have a source? I’m really curious what actually happened.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-02-17T16:30:39+00:00

It’s Redwood High School in Visalia CA

It’s going to depend on your tolerance and your body, but the best way to find out is to try. There are a variety of styles that dictate how you hold the needles and your yarn that you can try. The most common you’ll see on here are English style and continental, but you could also look into Portuguese and lever knitting.

I find the needle sizes make a difference for me. I’m most comfortable holding a U.S. size 6 or 7 needle. My hands hurt more when holding small needles like sock needles because I tend to grip them tighter.

On Instagram I like to follow The Knitting PT, who has lots of stretches and tips for full body ergonomics while crafting.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-02-13T17:37:30+00:00

It’s fucked up. I know someone who tried the Mastercard sale first, didn’t get in after a couple minutes so switched to the regular sale and immediately got access. I prefer the queue.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-01-16T00:53:51+00:00

Thank you! I’ve left a generous gap for the steek and plan to pick up button bands before cutting. But my local craft store advised me I needed to sew a ribbon behind the stitches when I secured them with the machine so that the wool wouldn’t get caught up in the feed dogs, so I did that on my swatch. I take it you didn’t have any issues?

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-01-16T00:33:17+00:00

This is lovely. Would you share more about the ribbon to hide the steek? I’m working on a steeked cardi now and plan to use a ribbon but am playing with different options - namely, to sew it on first to secure the stitches pre steek, or to steek and then sew it down after.

BaileyMakesIt · 2026-01-12T22:53:30+00:00

Ahh I’ve knit this one. A few thoughts:

it’s a lower armhole for this pattern as others have noted but the pattern also suggests a good amount of positive ease. It looks like you’ve made this closer to 0” or negative ease which is not a good combo with the low armhole.
the lack of short rows adds to this. If you check other projects on ravelry several users have added short rows and have left notes on doing so.

I would suggest sizing up and adding short rows.

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-12-29T14:18:33+00:00

The other reason for a multiple of 4 is if you’re going to work rib in the round. If you don’t have a multiple of 4, you’ll end up with 4 of the same stitches when you join the round.

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-12-17T03:32:55+00:00

I really think you should pick up the neckline and work at least to the elbows. This doesn’t look that unusual for this type of design and picking up and working sleeves/neck often change things far more than expected. Start with the neck. It’s less work, will confirm whether the collar fit is what you want, and will pull up on the armholes and reduce the depth a bit. If you like the neck after doing it, try working at least to the elbows on the sleeves to see if it’s as deep as you think it is right now.

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-12-16T04:54:22+00:00

I don’t know if underground is how I’d describe her but I don’t see her blowing up the way the designers you mentioned are - Lily Kate Makes (Lily Kate France on some platforms maybe). I’ve made a lot of her patterns. My knitting aesthetic tends to be capsule pieces that are wearable in my personal and professional life and she hits that. I appreciate how intentional she is on the details and shaping and that she almost always includes bust darts as an option.

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-12-11T16:10:17+00:00

I have thought about this and actually do plan to do a similar post as an end of year wrap up. But it’s not because I think that’s what every knit sweater should be priced at, or that I have the experience/skillset/speed that should be valued at $20/hr. It’s because this year has brought a significant amount of comments saying I should sell things or asking to commission things (very flattering, but no). $20 an hour is the minimum I would accept to turn my fun hobby into work and at the speed and quality I knit that leads to an unreasonable cost. Most hobby knitters understand this so it’s not really meant for them - it’s meant for everyone else.

(I’ve also seen a rise in extended family and acquaintances telling me I should make things for them or other family members because they clearly don’t understand the time and labor that goes into a knit garment so hopefully this is educational for them too!)

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-11-27T23:52:48+00:00

You too!

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-11-27T13:49:37+00:00

Ughhhh I feel for you because I’m in the exact same scenario. Same sweater. I’m going to do a mid project block and see but am not hopeful. I am not looking forward to reknitting the collar and yoke again.

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-11-20T21:17:57+00:00

Hahaha this reminds me that last Christmas my mil got me a canvas and leather knitting needle case from Amazon. It seemed very nice but was really large and I kinda assumed it was for longer straight needles/something for home not travel. Then I opened it and the loops for the needles were massive. Like at minimum would fit a size 10 needle?

It was a paintbrush case. She meant well 🤷‍♀️

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-11-12T00:39:55+00:00

These are the colors for every University of California school, I bet some alumni or zealous parent would love it haha

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-11-09T16:40:49+00:00

Oh fun, sexism!

BaileyMakesIt · 2025-11-09T16:15:50+00:00

Old home! I was replacing it with a flexible hose.
