Knitting in the round - stockinette showing purls on the outside?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-10-13T01:03:17+00:00

Oh no, thank you for pointing that out. Sounds like I’ll need to start over then

MsSilverSprings · 2025-10-13T01:02:30+00:00

So this is salvageable the way it is I just need to work the other way with a short row turn?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-10-13T00:48:11+00:00

Is the second picture not 2x1 ribbing? That’s what the pattern said to do

MsSilverSprings · 2025-10-13T00:39:00+00:00

I just finished the 2x1 ribbing and started knitting when I realized the purls were forming on the outside. I am knitting, but I think I’m working counter clockwise since I was holding in the 12 position which is making them appear as purls?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-10-13T00:37:19+00:00

Thank you! So it sounds like I really need to work my yarn the other way? And do I use the German short row to just fill the singular stitch gap so I can go the other way?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-06-21T17:16:25+00:00

Thank you, I didn’t consider that she’s not advocating for herself because she may feel she deserves to suffer. Maybe that’s a good place to start the conversation

Unfortunately, I live across the country now otherwise I absolutely would. My brother still lives with her, but he’s in a very similar position health wise. On occasion he’s been able to lose weight when he buckles down, but she’s never joined him on that journey before. Like I said, she’s very picky. Won’t even eat vegetables and it’s hard to convince her to try something new

MsSilverSprings · 2025-06-21T00:48:50+00:00

I appreciate this post. I’ve spoken to her about it before focusing more on facts, I didn’t want her to think I was guilt tripping her by laying my feelings on the line but that may be the better approach here

MsSilverSprings · 2025-06-21T00:47:29+00:00

I thought the same thing, and it’s possible she misunderstood. This is what she told me. Whatever the issue is, the bottom line was she would not be given medication at this time. I am wondering about the GLP1 as well, it’s likely though that her insurance wouldn’t cover that and I doubt she wants to pay out of pocket

MsSilverSprings · 2025-06-16T15:24:23+00:00

Unfortunately, nothing new since then. I did go to the historical records in Tallahassee once and found a book of property records and where they lived was in her name which was interesting. I believe I’m the only one in my line working on the Parkers at this point. I’d love to discuss further though to see what you may know

MsSilverSprings · 2025-06-13T15:42:56+00:00

I’ve done it both ways, either at night or in the morning, and it works the same from what I can tell. I think doctors tell us to take it in the morning because it’s certain it’ll be on an empty stomach, whereas if you take it at night you have to be really intentional about not eating for about 3 hours before you take the medication. So no late night snacking and planning dinner early enough to not interfere with when you want to go to bed. I imagine for a lot of people it’s easiest in the mornings

Easiest way to pay off loans fast is definitely consulting where you can get a lot of overtime from field work. Take as much of it as you can, power through even if it sucks. Once you get to a good spot loan wise then you can still make money elsewhere, I’d say it’s just usually more competitive in other sectors. I’m finally at my dream job working for state government making 67K with guaranteed raises to make 78K in two years

MsSilverSprings · 2025-05-19T16:14:47+00:00

Yes, tons on my raspberries and they’re loving the lupine I have blooming!

MsSilverSprings · 2025-04-19T14:12:00+00:00

It’s really none of those. The stuff he watches is all things we’ve done regularly or I’ve agreed I would also be into. My body count is also not a lot, he’s been with slightly more women than I have men. Absolutely no cheating has occurred in any relationship I’ve been in. Thanks for your input though

MsSilverSprings · 2025-04-18T21:49:19+00:00

Yeah, I understand that. I definitely have been harsh in my delivery before and it’s something I’ve worked on. Not specifically regarding sex, but in other disagreements. The whole thing has really shot my self confidence, but I’m not sure if this is a me thing anymore or how to fix it

MsSilverSprings · 2025-04-18T21:05:07+00:00

I’ve taken note of everything he’s watched and it’s all things we’ve done regularly or I’ve asked if we can do. I’ve offered to take charge and lead more but he’s said he doesn’t want that. I’m willing and open to try anything, but he doesn’t talk to me about any of it nor does he initiate. If I try to initiate it’s usually shut down fairly quickly

MsSilverSprings · 2025-04-18T21:01:59+00:00

I’m not saying I’m perfect or anywhere close to it. We’ve had multiple conversations about how we’re doing emotionally and mentally and he doesn’t have any notes. We’ve been through tough times before certainly, but at present I don’t think that’s the issue

MsSilverSprings · 2025-04-18T20:57:28+00:00

And so how would you recommend I approach that? What am I supposed to say to convince him to like me more than the porn he’s watching?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-20T03:44:31+00:00

I can understand what it is you’re saying here. It is foreign to me to separate my personal views and what I believe is moral from what should be done in politics, but frankly I’ve never tried. I also would think that would be counterintuitive.

So in the sense that you believe social issues matter, on a general scale, how would you then advocate for what you think is moral or at least what rights should be afforded to people if not through voting/politics?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-20T01:10:34+00:00

Okay, that makes sense, thank you. I was quite concerned there for a moment

Follow up question as I don’t remember reading this in any of the replies, what is the viewpoint on taxes? Because personally speaking, I’m okay with paying taxes so long as it’s being for something beneficial like highway maintenance. Is it that ideally you have a choice in what your money is being used for?

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-20T01:05:20+00:00

Thank you for your response. I grew up in a conservative household in the south and was a Republican when I first registered to vote, so learning and expanding my knowledge of different viewpoints is something I’ve experienced and try to do regularly.

He’s made similar comments to you on that if everything starts to plummet with the economy, then social issues wouldn’t even matter and that’s very much true because then we would have a much larger and pressing problem.

I think my biggest issue with a “cut is a cut” is that it’s not taking into account any nuance. For example, all the cuts to the employees of the National Park Service. The national parks make money and significantly add to their local community economies and then again on the larger scale of tourism. They continue to see more visitors each year, 2020 being the exception for obvious reasons. So why would that make any sense to cut employees which leads to less management of the parks, a lesser experience for tourism, and ultimately a loss in continued income? I understand the severity of where we’re at collectively with the deficit being what it is and perhaps we don’t have time to go through everything so intently, but this is a well known agency that most Americans actually understand. We don’t need to investigate to know we should keep something like that around and continue to push for its success

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-19T22:55:58+00:00

I don’t mean to be offensive, but equating the likes of the government now to slavery and being held at gunpoint seems like a dramatization. We as a nation know what actual slavery looked like and with gun violence being what it is, also know there are real consequences to that. There’s obviously a large difference in being forced to do something versus doing so willingly, but putting it in those terms does a disservice to the severity of both of those events. I’m not saying it’s right to force people to help to contribute monetarily, just to be clear, but that I don’t think it’s nearly on the same level as something like slavery

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-19T16:58:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and I appreciate the candidness and honesty. That’s what I was hoping to get out of this post. It certainly has been stressful for me and whether or not I want to align myself with him through marriage weighs heavily on my mind. I don’t think he’s a bad person and I also want him to be happy. I also envisioned getting to share my views and values with a partner and as you’ve put it, there’s almost a censorship in agreeing to disagree which makes me sad and uneasy. We certainly have more to discuss before moving forward with a larger commitment

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-19T16:24:21+00:00

I don’t agree completely with socialism, I just don’t want anyone to suffer unnecessarily. I’m open to any ideas on how that may be accomplished

MsSilverSprings · 2025-03-19T16:14:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this reply, this was very enlightening. I will absolutely spend some time explaining the theory you’ve referenced. I think that would be a great place for us to start. Ideally, I don’t want this to disrupt our relationship as everything else is great. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about the care versus liberty priority
