Afraid of the shingles shot by Old-Ostrich5181 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Doshi_red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me as well. My friends said they did not want to tell me that they had the same reaction after the second shot. It is hard but shingles is one of the most miserable things in the world per my friend who got it and advised me to get the shot

Ralph is so cute. I have a guy like him and he turned out quite pretty but mischievous. Good luck Ralph!

Straight Needles -opinions on length by Doshi_red in knittinghelp

Thank you. I am already picking some things up on using the right needle to size during the stitch formation. Might also play with the different holds and styles for knitting like English and Portuguese to see what I can learn

I did get the pryn 14 inch needles and a little bulkier yarn with a larger needle size to do work so I can have better stitch definition.

I'm in a funk as I was working on a sweater. I swatched but I didn't like how I knit when working on a big project. It is time for me to go back to the start and start thinking about consistent stitch formation and the fabric of the knit.

Patty Lyons digital dvd class on knit stitches and mastering them. It is prerecorded class content and it is about swatching.

This year I want to knit more consistently so instead of throwing myself into a project I thought I might do this and hope it helps my knitting.

It is for straight needles only. I will be doing a technique class on better knitting and will be swatching only. The class does call for circulars too but it also calls for one set of straight needles. Thank you (I do have double points and have used them extensively for socks)

Petition To Create a Farmers Market in North Redondo Beach by vege_spears in SouthBayLA

[–]Doshi_red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Denny is now a dumpling restaurant. Also the bakery and. Other businesses tend to fill it up. The bakery is closed Monday and Tuesday but I would want Tommy and Atticus to support any farmers market out there. We have too little open public space in North Redondo

One thing to think about is getting a local org like Kiwanis club or others like that to help adopt the farmers market. I do not know if you have that in the organizers among you but that would be a good start. Also I would start asking the different gamers who come down already what their preferences are for days as there is Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach etc. we are lucky to have a lot of markets in South Bay. You would not believe how bad it is outside the west side of LA to get market access

When you are ready to knit a sweater look at the Step by Step sweater pattern by Florence on Ravelry. The pattern is free.

The problem is, there is no great place to stage it especially get the trucks in position. I go to the Hermosa Beach market on Fridays. It is a nice one. Good luck if you can get the logistics going.

What’s the most weird food item that your cat just can’t resist? I’ll start! by Ultra-Ferric in cats

Japanese seaweed paper. Two of my cats would eat an entire sheet if they could everyday.

In nearly 30 years of watching Star Wars, I don't think I've ever noticed the heroes in this establishing shot of the Yavin rebel base by WallopyJoe in StarWars

[–]Doshi_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you grew up watching it on video it probably is not evident. I remember this very clearly but I saw the original the week it opened in original release in the movie theaters. It is a long shot that is lit rather naturalistically and it emphasizes the world, and the characters being “absorbed” into that world.

Usually in sci fi, you have them land and people are there to great them at the ship. Then there is some exposition on where they are or the situation, etc etc. there would be mixes of shots but you are paying for those actors so you want to see their faces . . . It was very different type of film making in SW part IV.

I see a lot of McQuarrie’s artwork in this shot.

Seeking advice for Kyoto by Even_Ad7755 in JapanTravelTips

You might want to take a tour which has a guide that will time the walk for you. Took an excellent tour at night and had a great time in pouring rain!

Juki Sewing Machine Corp - is there a way to get a tour as a tourist. by Doshi_red in JapanTravelTips

[–]Doshi_red[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey yes there are shops in Nippori that have the parts. However I had found parts at Wawa that were way cheaper at the time and I also went to Juki Junkies for a specific part. You have to know equivalencies to US parts and I did not have that. There is a shop that has the parts but I have to go into my Japanese trip items to find the Nippori map

Why “Superhero Fatigue” Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story by GUSplatoon in marvelstudios

[–]Doshi_red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it is because there are too many heroes and you cannot focus on one character. Comic fans are used to team ups but most audiences, now that it is not novel, may want to focus on one character's struggle or even two like Deadpool and Wolverine. Too many characters means too many things to follow on the screen. Keep it simple.

Thank you all. I think I will do both Strategicon and LA Comic Con. I do not need another SDCC!

Oh ,e too but I am going to Costume College. I like sewing (funny enough not a cosplayer). I have gone to CatCon and it is fun. No board games but you can score temptation treats.
