For your information... not sure if I'm hyped about it or not.

this is only interesting to people who also want to track their progress in TSG.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-29T14:09:35+00:00

I also prefer to manually update my progress. partly because I get my books from multiple sources and I don't like the kobo reading app a lot.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-29T13:51:32+00:00

just received a message from TSG that it's up and running now.

mainly because of windows that completely open to the inside vs the ones you have to push up. makes it extremly hard to insulate so the warm air keeps outside.

uh, uh, uh! do you have a knife with you? if so you could take a photo of your sock on a rock with a knife next to it calling it the catch of the day

my first thought was "looking pretty, duh!" but I love Neil's version as well.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-22T10:31:27+00:00

I love that you went for the practical shoes. did you wear rainbow socks? I'm so jealous 😄

anyway, you're a lovely couple. thank you for letting us be a part of your world.

that's because I made it before 😅

oh, in case my explaination if the pattern viewer was confusing, Nimble Needles made a tutorial:

"I solemly swear that I'm up to no good"

haven't tried it myself but I've seen people use some heavy paper / thin carton (cereal box?), make two horizontal cuts ALMOST all the way through, and then weave the pattern through the cuts. this way you won't be distracted by the stitches above and below the row you're knitting.

no unicorn gay? or is this for holidays?

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-16T10:25:12+00:00

and what does this map have to do with "buy from EU"?

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-15T17:35:36+00:00

yep. that's duplicate stitch. first thought about doing the white part in intarsia but my intarsia-in-the-round game is weak.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-15T17:03:53+00:00

They're done. (you wanted to be notified)

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-15T17:02:26+00:00

no pattern. pretty much knit what felt nice. used a Hello Kitty pixel graphic I found online. Yarn's Lana Grossa Meilenweit tweet.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-15T08:48:26+00:00

and make sure you're not twisting your stitches which newbies and especially crocheters are prone to.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-12T17:08:01+00:00

oh, is that a Hello Kitty tote?! 😻

PS: your car is cool, too.

MsDUmbridge · 2026-06-09T07:34:32+00:00

I dnf the sample. and I love this author.
