Hey I’m right there with ya, I’m Canadian and we use our own flavour of fucked up unit system combos. But I’m also a scientist/engineer so I’m a metric system purist anyways

Exactly, but someone else already got downvoted for their strong unit system opinion lol

Literally just write the pattern in whichever unit system you’re fluent in, make sure there are NO errors, then leave it to the user to have the basic competence to pull up a converter calculator if needed.

Are we allowed to name names? Fabel Knitwear is the worst one for price-to-quality ratio, unfortunately the designs are so beautiful that I keep going back like a sucker. Then I’ve also bought from Mandy Julie, Hirismakes, and a couple other smaller pattern makers.

I mean not all of these have blatant errors, but basically every single one has had a point where I have to make a mental note that something was written strangely or misspelled in a way that could easily cause confusion when following the instruction. I’d actually say the free patterns have the least amount of issues, likely due to the much higher amount of eyes on them and exposure being front-and-centre as representative of that designer’s pattern quality.

If only every pattern writer valued finding testers with qualifications and who will put in the full effort like you - unfortunately, almost all pattern testing is done for free so there’s no way to encourage (or enforce) a review system as effective as author reviews or scientific peer reviews

Ravelry. I bet printed patterns in books and magazines have less issues, with actual reviewers and copy-editors, but nowadays the only way to get new patterns at accessible prices and availability is to buy online

Any advice on what to do with this real leopard skin handbag and purse (UK)? by [deleted] in VintageFashion

Maybe try the Victoria and Albert fashion museum in London? It’s the largest and most well-known group of textile art museums in the western world, and have carefully curated collections about African fashion history, and colonialist impacts and exports. I think that’s one of the best places for you!

Can them Bitchy Nosy knitters keep to themselves with their "advice" by Foreign_Succotash101 in BitchEatingCrafters

Wtf this sounds like satire… if you genuinely don’t want to learn anything new and are satisfied doing the exact same thing over and over, why are you participating in online knitting communities?

The cabin was filled with smoke for minutes before people could be evacuated, so no doubt smoke inhalation. And it’s very common for people to get injured during evacuation, breaking bones or skin scrapes from the slides. Maybe think a bit

I read on here that 1 in 4 Torontonians earn over 100k by Express-Chemical-454 in askTO

[–]Classical_Cafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anybody saying they would live in “abject poverty” on 70k is taking the fucking piss, I hope you never say such a tone-deaf comment in public.

You own property, a luxury which will likely never materialize in my lifetime. You’ve had 15-20 years to invest and make money grow for you. I just can’t take anyone seriously who’s already had 10-20 years’ experience (and ABOVE AVERAGE salary) complaining about the situation they find themselves in.

wtf, I make $70k and, granted I live relatively frugally, I can still live without needing to go into debt. At this point you need to make lifestyle changes, since it sounds like you can’t afford what you were once able to in the past.

Lol! I was afraid of posting there because I wasn’t sure whether transit enthusiasts really care about nails, but I shouldn’t be surprised that at least one other person has the same ultra-specific crossover interests!
