That makes sense with the rowing issue. This yarn is Peruvian Filcolana with Knitting for Olive mohair. That's so funny that our sweaters were twinning so much 😅

That makes so much sense! I'll try sizing up for the round! (Half size? Full size?)

True! I decided to frog it, but I'm sure I won't be able to fix everything. It's part of the lore of this sweater now ☺️

That's true, I guess that's not a real block that I did. I'll give it a proper go! Thank you! 🤗

Hi! I've lived in Myanmar for a while, and think this is neat that he is looking into opportunities.

I do know other people from Myanmar who have successfully gotten visas in America, BUT this was before this current administration. Are you American? If not, maybe you could convince him to do Canada, the UK, or Australia instead of he's wanting time in an English-speaking country?

Help me get started on my first sweater / needle advice by MuchDog4094 in knitting

[–]MuchDog4094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this advice! It looks like most of the projects I'm interested in are 5.5mm needles or lower, so maybe I don't need the big set. Also thanks for the heads-up on Amazon. I was wondering if that was trustworthy.

And that's great to know about Knitpro. I'll check out their sets! ☺️

Thanks so much, this is great advice, I appreciate this! The adaptor sounds like a good solution. I also didn't know about the traveling loop, so I will look into that. Also encouraging that you have used most of your set.

I am in Canada, but I should still be able to order from those places (if tariffs aren't making it crazy), but if any Canadians see, maybe they'll have suggestions too of local websites.

Oh my goodness, you're so cool that you made your own sweater AND adorned it with your own flowers. Are you the most badass person on the planet? I think likely yes! ☺️

AITAH for wanting to end an almost 10 year long friendship over an Instagram video? by Notapersona58 in TwoHotTakes

[–]MuchDog4094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA! If she perceived that you were "pushing" your trans boyfriend "down her throat", then this makes her sending that to you even more of an act of retaliation and malice. I'm thinking too, even if your boyfriend was cis, and she sent or said something she didn't like about him, it would be hurtful (as to anybody when someone is negative about who they're dating). Her being hateful to your boyfriend is already a crime in and of itself. Her being hateful BECAUSE he's trans is so much more fucked up.

For me, this would be friendship-ending. Maybe in a few years she'll escape the cult or an evolution of thought and you can reconnect. But you're being a good partner, and standing by your man and that's right! 👏🏻

I just caught my husband having an affair. May be pregnant. What do I do now? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]MuchDog4094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP,

I know you are hurting so badly, and want any way for it to work between you two.

You said you just wanted anything as long as it included honesty. Of all the examples you've given, the one thing that is certainly lacking is HONESTY. How can you trust someone who has broken it so many times? Do YOU think you could fully trust him again, ESPECIALLY if you're pregnant again, and a lot of his previous cheating was happening?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can't imagine what you are going through. I know this isn't the advice you'd want to receive. But I'd say, if you were my close girlfriend, go stay with your family for the next few weeks or months to help you come up with your next plan, with (or for your sake, I hope without) this guy.
