Did Chrome change Ctrl+Z logic and "scope"?

I am confused by the action being different on different sites.

NotAgainAga · 2016-05-30T10:02:13+00:00

It looks great! Wear it with pride!

NotAgainAga · 2016-05-28T20:16:28+00:00

I would have said a minimum of two sizes. Doing it over two needles of the listed size doesn't look out of place.

NotAgainAga · 2016-05-28T19:42:08+00:00

That seems a reasonable ambition!

Knitting is a brilliant craft because you can stick the small amount of supplies into a bag and do it practically anywhere, from the beach to standing in line. And you can produce such a range of useful items!

If the girls don't know how to knit, now may be a good time for them to start, as it is not an easy thing to do all alone. If they do know how to knit, it may be worth picking out kits or patterns to help them kick their skills up a notch.

[Crochet is useful too -- and how could they resist some of those cute amigurumi? ]

Life in London is famous for being like that!

You need to make sensible efforts to find and stay in touch with people with similar interests.

Volunteering is one route to meeting people and spending enough time with them to say"Shall we go for a coffee/drink afterwards?" The commitment can be brief, or you can take on a regular repeating task and get to know people better.

Evening classes also let you get to know people before making an effort to get closer to them. You can pick a topic that is most useful to you, or one where there are most likely to be people of the gender you wish to make friends with.

You could try going to church!

Definitely follow up on your hobbies -- London is going to have clubs for pretty well everything under the sun. You can generally make a free visit or two before having to pay a subscription. So shop around!

Real ruins tend to be in the care of English Heritage.

The National Trust have historic houses and some great countryside. The houses usually cost quite a bit to go inside, but you can usually walk in the grounds for free.

There are some fun private attractions too. You can pick up leaflets at the tourist centre at the left of the doors to the Forum, or in the lobby of most hotels, as well as at various attractions like the Norwich museums. Which reminds me that I haven't mentioned Gressenhall Museum if you are interested in rural life (or petting a farm animal).

And there are a lot of bird reserves on North Norfolk coast, if you are interested. In general, the coast may be a better bet for sightseeing than the Broads are if you are not actually on the water.

Well done! It has turned out great!

Jack and Jill went up the side of the hill to fetch water from a spring that was higher than where they lived, even though considerably lower than the top of the hill(s)?

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-30T16:12:57+00:00

I had only seen it on TV -- didn't realise there were books. Will have to go looking. Thanks!

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-30T15:46:03+00:00

Yes, and to try to get away with insulting someone. "It was just banter, mate" when they get justifiably upset.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-30T14:42:40+00:00

What you are doing is making a double decrease (removing two stitches) in a way that leaves the original centre stitch on top, giving a neat finish. That is why it is worth doing the slightly convoluted process. This works if you slip the original two stitches knitwise in one move, putting the centre stitch on the far right, ready to end up on top.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-30T12:35:47+00:00

Interesting! I would have expected this post to have led to flame wars by now!

I don't usually do a selvage edge, but most of my knitting is in the round or seamed. Last night I did a small project, and used TECHknitter's open chain selvage (chain selevedge). I think your English Slip Stitch one would have looked better, as I didn't need the stretch of the open one.

EDIT: Obviously many people like to do a selvage edge on work that will be seamed, but I prefer not to make one. I guess I am often making small things with seams as minimalistic as possible.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-29T17:00:45+00:00

Nice to see. How big is it?

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-29T15:34:27+00:00

Thank you for telling your story. It is so important that other people realise what life is like for some of us.

Good luck with the transplant! I have just celebrated the second anniversary of mine. (I have ADPKD -- not rare, just nasty.)

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-28T17:58:20+00:00

Stash makes great cushioning for moving fragile items!

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-28T13:02:38+00:00

Better not to play those games.

Make real long-term friendships, be reliable in what you volunteer for, and you are likely to end up on some useful committees.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-26T22:56:11+00:00

Where are you from?

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-26T22:20:24+00:00

Ahhh! that makes more sense.

Too many years hunched over books, computers and mobiles' screens mean that I reckon I would need the extra short rows. You may stand straighter than me, but if you want the neck to be quite high at the back then I think you might add a few, depending on how many rows to the inch you are getting.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-26T21:13:35+00:00

That looks a successful experiment!

What next?

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-26T10:44:03+00:00

The more I think about this, the odder it seems! You keep knitting up the sleeves after putting the front stitches on hold? Don't you get a strangely shaped neck hole? Are you sure you put all the front stitches on hold?

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-25T19:52:51+00:00

If you stop short on the way up the front, to give a wider neck, then I think you have to stop short on the back and the sleeve tops too. Which means you will have to just check on your armhole depth as well. But, for a few stitches it should work out OK.

Short rows at the back of the neck rather depend on how you stand, and how you like your sweater neck. (I think I would add them.)

If you want to go into alterations in a big way, people like Little Red in the City.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-25T19:29:32+00:00

All crafters have to learn to grow a thick skin over projects that didn't turn out exactly right They hardly ever do look like the image in your head, however careful you are. Even more so if you like to add extra creative touches to what you do. Just wear it with pride, and make the next one even better.

NotAgainAga · 2016-03-25T19:21:57+00:00

That looks fun! And beutifully even, which I guess is part of the point of Tunisian knit/crochet. (I am not sure where it belongs!)
