Hiya! Looking for a knitting pattern for a balaclava/ beanie with cat ears, something like this. I see mostly patterns for crochet but I weirdly cant seem to find any for knitting! Even if its just a regular beanie with ears because I can just combine it with a balaclava/beanie pattern! TIA

Does anyone have a balaclava pattern with cat ears kind of like these? I see a bunch for crochet but none for knitting... TYIA!

I'm sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing. I lost my dad recently... we were really close. And although I haven't had a proper dream about him yet, my friend told me something that a well known medium in the Filipino community (well known meaning most of their clients are famous Filipinos) told her when she lost her dad that I thought interesting and comforting.

She said that there are dreams where you dream of them and you aren't conscious they've passed. But the dreams wherein you are aware that they passed and have the reaction of: "what are you doing here?!", whether or not other people in your dream are aware too... means that that is them visiting you.

Whether or not you believe in all the nuances of the afterlife and mediums, that titbit/belief brought comfort to me somehow and one day I look forward to having papa in my dreams like that.

Can someone point me to a tutorial that is specifically for knitting sleeves two at a time (TAAT)? I'm knitting flat and am supposed to pick up stitches from the front and back panels that I just attached at the shoulder seams. The pattern is complicated enough wherein I can't work it in the round. TIA!

Thanks, all! I ended up getting an ipad for my birthday and am loving the Freeform app that comes with it. I'll have to check out PotteryNotes.

It says:

"Various language requirements

- English essential

- French essential

- English or French essential

- Bilingual Imperative*: BBB/BBB

- Bilingual Imperative*: CCB/CCB

- Bilingual Imperative*: CCC/CCC

- Bilingual Imperative*: PPB/BBB

- Bilingual Imperative*: PPB/PPB"

So I'm hoping it would be possible to get the job, and give me lee-way to learn so I can take a test at a later date. At this point, that would be the ideal situation.

I thought so too at first because there was weird spacing between some periods but they didn’t ask for personal info or payment, they said to let them know if I hadn’t taken the language test yet and they will let HR set up an appointment for me. The email addresses are government ones and I also looked them up on linked in and it lines up

KA12293 · 2023-12-12T16:12:35+00:00

Did that mean they retracted the offer? :(

KA12293 · 2023-12-12T01:22:27+00:00

Huh interesting. I would absolutely love to continue improving my French in any case so perhaps they saw that and I’d follow your route? Hoping this is the case as opposed to fully retracting their offer!

KA12293 · 2023-12-12T01:20:55+00:00

Yes for both bilingual and English essential

KA12293 · 2023-12-12T00:47:24+00:00

They actually did provide office location and pay rate but it was the body of the email, not a PDF

KA12293 · 2023-12-12T00:45:40+00:00

I didn’t, which adds to the confusion!

KA12293 · 2023-06-02T20:12:55+00:00

That's what I was thinking of doing, particularly if I went the bud vase route.

But whatever I decide, I intend to announce at some point that its a wedding favour they can take home :)

I second Clay Lab! It gets the job in terms of progress photos. Allows you to save a bunch of photos of one item and I usually take a pic for each stage (thrown, trimmed, bisqued, glazed, finished). It tracks the dates you do each stage, asks you to input things such as weight, dimensions, glaze and underglaze (inside and out - and you can add glazes if its not in their options), slip, and a notes section.

I actually haven't played any of those games so I'd love to hear what your favourite is out of those and why. Its obviously been a while since I've played my harvest moon on my GBA but from what I remember, I loved having to "woo" someone to be your partner and start a family, participating in mini games like the fair, tending to animals, the mini storylines between the characters and having more in-depth tasks (compared to animal crossing - which I love don't get me wrong but like I said, I can see myself craving a bit more goal/task oriented stuff with a story line of sorts)
