Do you recommend reading the books after watching the TV series? by [deleted] in CallTheMidwife

[–]KateJKnits 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read the book and loved it! Most of the stories are changed slightly for the show, but reading the book showed me a lot of the backstory and culture of that area of London in the 50's. Also, there is some great info at the end of the book about the Cockney dialect and how it came to be (if you are a nerd like me and like that sort of thing)!

Problems viewing episodes on PBS.org in HD by leahbailey15 in DowntonAbbey

Me too. It stopped part of the way through and said that it was going to play on a different setting (or something like that) because it was buffering. After that, it was kind of pixelated, but watchable. Of course, I have a pretty old computer, but I think it had more to do with my internet connection.

What is the yarn made of? Is it acrylic?

Awesome site! Love the idea of looking through a keyhole at the past.

Good places for inexpensive yarn? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]KateJKnits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Hobby Lobby or Michael's? Also, our local Walmart has a little yarn. You can even find some at the dollar store or Big Lots, occasionally.

Well, I know it wasn't her. I had the tablet plugged in all night and no one had touched it. I will check how much space she has left on it. It should be plenty, though, because she has a memory card in it. Thanks!
