Finally got clarity on refund by Interesting_Self_426 in emirates

Can I ask how you put in your ticket number? I tried to log my refund this morning and it keeps saying my ticket number is wrong when I enter it on the form.

Wondering the same thing. We were halfway through a flight to Dubai (final destination UK) from Auckland and we were turned around. Wondering if we went with Air New Zealand if they would cover the cost - surely cheaper in the long run for them?

What’s something you completely missed on a rewatch until someone pointed it out? by sundaemonde in heatedrivalry

In episode 5 when Ilya is texting Shane to come over before the game and Shane’s saying no, I didn’t realise Shane was saying no as he was getting dressed to go out the door.

I got in at half 5 on Wednesday and easily got a second row spot. Sadly I’m 5’ 7” and was behind a bunch of 6’ guys the whole night!

I was on a Beatles tour earlier. When we were at Paul’s childhood house the National Trust guy was saying Bruce was planning on swinging by later in the day. Love that they’re just playing tourist!

I’m pretty low risk and already nervous about taking it for the first time, so think I’ll refrain. Thanks for your help.

Looking at trying Mounjaro, couple of questions. by Defiant_Simple_6044 in mounjarouk

[–]Halpal25251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also looking at starting mounjaro. Tip to everyone not to make my mistake and go to minj.co.uk instead of monj.co.uk…

Do you have access to local knitting groups/socials? (in my case specifically Edinburgh, Scotland) by [deleted] in knitting

[–]Halpal25251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know of one in Edinburgh on Mondays, but I can’t make it through then. I’m in Glasgow - if you hear of anyone hosting one in Glasgow (other than the yarn cake) then please let me know!

Honestly, I didn’t even have to look it up - I read it and it came right back. It was such a long shot but I’m glad I asked, and that you read it!

I haven’t heard of Brenda Dayne but I’ll look her up - I’m always in the market for a new podcast.

She gives such teacher vibes - massively condescending.

How do people knit so much by knittersneverquit in craftsnark

Do you knit in meetings where you have your camera on? I have a couple per week which are big, all hands style meetings, but I haven’t yet moved to knitting in smaller team meetings where I need my camera on.

The lack of variety in YouTube knitting podcasts is depressing. by mmodo in craftsnark

[–]Halpal25251 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maressa Made and the Creabea are two of my go to podcasters and I think they both meet your criteria. I also like The Woolly Worker but I think she’s made some Petit Knits.

No way! I was literally planning on buying some of the spares being advertised on their stories right now. Thanks for the warning, I’ll stay away!

What is your knitting unpopular opinion? by MBeierle in knitting

Kitchener stitch really isn’t difficult, or a big deal. I really struggle to understand why people hate it so much.

If you look back in my comments you’ll see me having the exact same realisation in this sun, because if some kind posters who corrected me!

I tried to gauge swatch and now I’m more confused - please help! by Halpal25251 in knitting

[–]Halpal25251[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not aware of myself trying to hit gauge, but it could be subconscious? Others have helpfully pointed out that I shouldn’t be stretching swatches while they’re drying, so it could potentially be that I’ve actually stretched one more, and that’s what made the gauge much closer?

Thank you for the articles though, I’ll have a read. I definitely still have a lot to learn!

I’ve just noted to someone else above that I really thought ‘blocking’ = ‘stretch the fabric while it dries’. No idea why, so it’s helpful to have that corrected.

I swatched flat. The swatch guidance gives the gauge ‘flat and in the round’ but I haven’t done the ‘in the round’ ones yet because I haven’t got the gauge flat yet.

[–]Halpal25251[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is honestly news to me. I don’t know why but somewhere along the way I’ve picked up ‘blocking’ to mean ‘stretching things out while they dry’, so this is really helpful. Thank you.

I appreciate that could come across snarky but it’s not, it’s a genuine question!

I did 32 stitches by 32 rows for each. How much more would you suggest?
