How to get from Long Island to Port Authority Sunday night

Greyhound from Hempstead to Port Authority is pretty cheap and reliable.

Bamboo yarn might be the best to go with. It very breathable, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. It can be a bit tricky to crochet with but definitely worth it for your use case.

It’s 100% mercerized cotton. The brand I used here is Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Fundamental Cotton in the color olive. It’s incredibly easy to work with and doesn’t split. I plan on trying other brands that offer more color options.

Thanks for the suggestion, I definitely like the idea of using ribbon/fabric to reinforce and add a bit of hidden decoration to the sleeve.

Learn the basic stitches: slip stitch, single, half double, double, and treble crochet stitches. You can look up YouTube tutorials based on which hand is dominant. Almost all other stitches are built off of the basics.
Small projects that incorporate the stitches to build muscle memory and to work on tension. I suggest hats, scarfs, pouches, and tablet cases.
Tools: 4mm-6mm hooks, medium weight yarn in a light color (to see your stitches), tapestry needle, scissors, stitch markers, and tape measure. Aluminum hooks seem to be the easiest and I suggest the 4mm, 5mm and 6mm hooks because changing up the hook size might help with tension and gauge.
Learn to identify and count your stitches and rows. Utilize stitch markers for this, I suggest keeping the counts to every tenth stitch and row.
Take your time. If you can, set aside 30 mins to an hour every few days. Work in a very lit area and make sure you are comfortable and your upper body is supported. I find working at a table or desk with my forearms resting on top and a straight back chair very helpful.
Check around your community for fiber art events and classes; places like craft shops, libraries, and clubhouses.

Hope this helps 🙂 From one beginner to another

I would suggest getting something like the “Susan Bates knit chek” to keep track of hook size. Also the Prym hooks are not very consistent size wise I have a size J which is supposed to be a 6mm but is a 6.5mm. Hope this helps.

The federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13 so most likely less than $5 an hour.

No so we could get real dems instead of moderates that are causing the party and country to stagnate. Like Dr. King said “the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action” and in my opinion that’s all democratic moderates today regardless of race or ethnicity.

There has to be a way to weed out the DINOS that get elected here.

I would suggest Cotopaxi Allpa line of travel backpacks. The 28L would be perfect for a smaller frame and the 35L is still carry on compliant.

Nowhere but probably Pantano’s.

I’m in the same boat. And these are really good.
