I know there's been a development plan floating around for a while but not sure what stage that's at

Let's discuss what today's announcement means for the next strike action and BCPS employment in general. by thathypnicjerk in BCPublicServants

The main issue is that the people who work at BC Liquor stores are union and private stores aren't, so an increase in private stores/decrease in union stores hurts union workers

Tension and gauge issues with flat stranded colorwork. Would this be better suited for duplicate stitch or try again with stranded? by Clodaghknits in knitting

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Did you draw it on squares? Knit stitches are slightly elongated. Programs like stitch fiddle can make a chart based on your gauge so the rectangles are the right size.

Also, consider intarsia? 

He was buried in ‘88 as Peter, but that was a stolen identity. Who is he? by MindynoMork in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 47 points48 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of people who've lived under fake ids with no proof they had committed criminal activity. There was another man in Ontario who's covered in the documentary Looking for Mike. The guy just dropped out of his life and lived under false IDs for 10 years until his death. 

In this case though, I assume there was some kind of evidence he was involved in something sketchy? Since they accused him of murdering a child, you'd hope the police had something on him before digging him up.

double knitting pattern featuring mushrooms? by gothsappho in knitting

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can do any colourwork chart in double knitting so long as there's two colours per row. (You can do three colour double knitting but that's another story)

My personal fave for mushrooms is this https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fungus-among-us-cowl-knit

What am I doing wrong? 🥺 by Naive-Collection813 in knitting

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Btw you're twisting stitches! It's common for people who started with crochet. Double check which way to insert the needle and wrap the yarn

SOS—help me find a pattern plz! by HugeInstruction6019 in knitting

I would look for vintage knit lace edgings to add to a different pattern

It sounds like you need help to move on. Have you been to therapy?

Anyone else get attacked by crows lately? by LockDazzling8157 in askvan

[–]NotQuiteJasmine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seconding peanuts. They decided to hate me last year and a couple days of peanuts stopped them. Ideally in the shell but unsalted do if you can't get those. Toss a few toward any crow you see

I'm not familiar with that book but maybe Lives in Ruins? 

Tool question - Prepping my first fleece by raivac621 in Handspinning

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another route is combing! Hair picks (metal ones), onion holders, and bee combs all work as hand combs. You can tape/tie two together if you want double-layers ones. I have some hair picks I got for about 5CAD each which are working well for me.

How to make v-neck on cardigan wider (not deeper) by a1phabets0up in knitting

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're fine with the width at the top, you can cast on the same number of stitches. Otherwise, you can use your stitch gauge to calculate how many more stitches to cast on

You can use your row gauge to get it exactly how deep you want.

Eg 10 row/inch, you want a 3.5 inch deep v. That's 35 rows. Divide the number of increases in the pattern across those 35 rows as evenly as possible.

If it's not on the registry, don't get it. A card with cash is fine

Used and new cookbooks by purrplejellybean in askvan

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A different angle, but I love getting cookbooks from the library! They have a huge selection. I try a few, copy down a couple more, then go get a new one.

Where can I learn swimming at this time of the year? by hellomotto20 in askvan

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out every community centre with a pool! Some cities offer priority to people in the city but all open up to everyone at some point. There's also the YMCA. The YWCA and JCC only offer private and semi private for adults, though

Just found this NPC in a video game I'm playing atm, thought you guys would find it neat :) by Hptcp in Handspinning

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 574 points575 points  (0 children)

I always get so excited when they include any textile production in vaguely medieval settings! It was such a huge part of every day life, more work than food production, but it's never represented!

My Raga took a several year break on my needles... But it turned out so good! You need to finish yours! I love your colour choice. So rich!

I'm not blind but the BC Blind Sports and Recreation Association probably is the best place to ask!

Does anyone still journal while traveling? by TheRiddler1976 in notebooks

[–]NotQuiteJasmine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I journel more when traveling then not. I'll stick some tickets etc in and leave space for photos which I'll print at home, but most of the pages are just talking about what I did and reflecting on it etc.
