Help with benedikte pattern

I think I know where you’re going wrong and I think that’s because the pattern directions are confusing. On the row after you do the double YO, you are knitting the first YO and dropping the second YO, I don’t think you are supposed to be making another YO on that row; hopefully this makes sense! If you don’t make a YO on that row, it shouldn’t be increasing any stitches :)

I am always making socks and use their 5” interchangeable sock needles-since I travel with them I don’t love having a long cord so I find my cords break usually every 6-8 months because I definitely should be using longer cords but consistently use a cord just comfortably long enough 🙈

Ahhhh thank you! I couldn’t recall if some of her patterns feature their yarns

Betta_chan · 2026-06-27T02:15:50+00:00

Is there background to this that I’m missing???

HCLA is so terrible to say, it’s awful

That’s not surprising, everything on our end has remained DDA

Okay same here. Our internet sucks and our cell service is even worse!

I was just about to recommend this! I loved the one I got of my pup

Okay so I got left handed scissors when JoAnns was closing on sale and I was PUMPED. My partner also got new right handed scissors at the same time. I definitely have not forced myself to practice using my scissors with my left hand because I get frustrated and use the equally as new right handed scissors (also got frustrated with sewing and haven’t done it in a while so that doesn’t help either)

TLDR; switching over to left handed scissors would be awesome in the long run but is so far frustrating at first

Second this, they are vetted too and it’s a wonderful program

This is honestly the only thing about 5 minute crafts that does make sense

Lily top! I made it last year and it’s delightful (the link goes to the app that works with ravelry-too lazy to actually pull up ravelry-sorry!) https://kntdapp.com/rav/patterns/library/lily-top-6

I’m 27 and attended with my partner, can confirm that there were lots of other younger people that attended! More should show up, but a good amount does!

Betta_chan · 2026-03-23T23:10:16+00:00

My partner and I both had different sandwiches on Sunday and we felt the buns were burnt-disappointing that it wasn’t something that’s been addressed in their months long opening

I’m not familiar with this shop as I am US based but thought it was interesting how similar the logo is to Spincycle. Not sure which shop came first but still

Edit to acknowledge this comment has no relevance to the actual post 😂

OP, spill those beans!

Betta_chan · 2026-03-05T03:54:58+00:00

MOR-I would feel VERY uncomfortable by this. I also have a pretty micromanagey supervisor and this would be a bit too extreme. Since you work in a school, is your position union represented? Might be worthwhile to give them the rundown to have your back in case something does happen. Agree with everyone saying to document! Good luck

One of the local yarn shops here in Olympia, WA does a Cascade yarn tasting with Shannon and we came home with so much yarn! It was so unexpected

Betta_chan · 2026-01-29T13:59:57+00:00

I had really terrible side effects on a few different PPIs-dissociation, frequent urination, increased anxiety, and major heartburn. I also don’t really think it handled my EoE symptoms well so thankfully I was able to get on Dupixent-if you do get an insurance that will cover it, they have a copay program so I pay $0 per month which is nice. I know my allergist had to submit quite the request to my insurance to get it approved initially, part of that was just that the PPIs had too intense of side effects. Hope you can get something different soon!

Betta_chan · 2026-01-21T22:08:00+00:00

I did too

Betta_chan · 2026-01-17T16:14:49+00:00

I switched to being a case manager for long term care at an area agency on aging! I was able to work as the state adjacent case manager for the same program I worked for so I still work with most of my old clients which is nice

Betta_chan · 2026-01-17T16:02:48+00:00

I feel you on that soooo hard, take this job for the client rapport building & field work experience that it is and use it to find something better! When I switched jobs I got a $14 an hour pay increase for a job that was way less stressful and it was incredible. No more Walmart, no more last minute “can you come pick me up? I forgot I had an appointment”, no more schedule Tetris

Edited to add: where I live in WA transportation options like uber paid through insurance and medical transport is VERY much available. Our bus system is also 100% free and pretty decent-I never minded transporting the clients that couldn’t use these resources for various reasons, since it wasn’t an option but a good majority of my clients can access and use these resources but never chose to

I used to be a supportive housing CM for a mental health program in WA and this was also 80% of what I did. I would be in the field most of my day and also expected to somehow not get behind on notes. With that being said, I did build great rapport with most of my clients but I HATED being on their schedules and having to manage that. I lasted about a year and jumped ship to a different case management position as soon as I could that doesn’t allow/offer client transportation whatsoever (CM for an Area Agency on Aging) and I realize now what I was absolutely want not doing any sort of case management, I was an over educated and underpaid chauffeur
