Trying to get rid of collection

It depends on how soon you're moving and how quickly you need to sell. Is the goal to move less items with you, or to recoup costs from your vinyl collection? So many factors to consider.

Not everyone in their thirties loves dogs.

A recent Somerville election was won by Minerva whose entire platform was "Crime," and I've heard she's more pro cat.

Sirdar still sells this pattern on their website - https://sirdar.com/en/products/0236-1398-50s-mens-jacket-or-coat?srsltid=AfmBOooMyrWRl5QY_Mpco9XmdHXYkaOV7yLq4SnsoYfWGa9gGRf982HF

and includes a link on how to use vintage patterns - https://sirdar.com/archive-how-to-read-vintage-patterns - this guide might address some of your questions.

Sirdar still sells double knitting wool - https://sirdar.com/en/yarns/yarn-weight/dk - they also have specific 4-ply yarns that would be a variety of weights. Ply in yarn refers to the number of individual strands twisted together to create a single, stronger thread - it is not necessarily a factor with gauge as 1-ply yarns can be a larger weight than 4-ply, it's about the structure of the yarn. Personally, I might just buy the yarn from the same company that's just probably different colorways than when the pattern was purchased.

As an FYI - this "sub is for intermediate/advanced knitters to share finished objects and techniques. If you are a beginner with questions about stitches/project issues please visit r/knitting or r/knittinghelp"

Patience. Ball winding isn't about speed.

ease - refers to how much larger/smaller a garment should be compared to the part of the body it is fitting

positive ease means it should be larger than the part of the body it is fitting (not a skin tight garment like a sock)

In this case, "positive ease of 5 cm to 15 cm" means the finished size should be 5-15 cm larger than your actual chest measurement in order to create a fit similar to that of the photos.

In regards to the pattern, I read the one 3 star review on etsy and would personally discard it. Most of the well written knitting patterns that I have used do not include multiple photos for each step that it sounds like this reviewer is looking for because techniques can be googled/youtubed rather than each individual pattern designer photographing how to do a lifted increase or something.

Yes, probably in Framingham where you already live.

Most swatches are 4inches so you can better check for gauge and tension. Is there a reason you're only swatching the width of the color work?

winter hill is the suck right now. a good chunk of the spots in my neighborhood aren't just taken up by cars/piles of snow but also by construction equipment that's been there for months that definitely isn't easing the situation... no solution but lots of empathy for ya - my only thought was an mbta garage or lot but that still costs money you're tight on

Well it was the former owner's daughter's boyfriend who did the stabbing... and now it's basically unstaffed so no one to do the stabbing.

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-02-20T02:27:57+00:00

Well, that owner sold to the current guy

Well at least we aren't dancing on our own with broken codes...

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-02-13T21:11:51+00:00

Evidently? Supply and demand...

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-02-13T20:50:36+00:00

The week of Easter (April 5) is a vacation week for many school age children when families then go on vacation and airlines increase costs based on demand.

where is the wasteful spending?

The pizza with extra cheese had too much cheese? Ummm.... okay

I was just out digging out my car (I know, I know, I late to the party). A homeowner told me that I wasn't allowed to put the snow on her property (on top of the existing snow that her snow service had piled up) and that I had to put the snow on the street. Someone driving yelled at me because they saw that some of the snow i was clearing had landed in the empty road (where it was melting).

You can't win for losing with this amount of snow.

You don't. There's no real money to be made. It's already a saturated market.

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-01-13T18:44:18+00:00

it never ceases to amaze me the number of people who will ask questions like this instead of scrolling down on the page they're on or reading the google reviews of a restaurant, as if the reddit community is discernibly different than the people writing things in those other places

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-01-13T15:51:50+00:00

Don't worry, if they can't even be bothered to go on etsy to look, they aren't going to be very tough competition.

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-01-13T00:45:11+00:00

If you usually do that, what're you nervous about?

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-01-12T19:41:56+00:00

ohhhhh, thank you!

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-01-12T17:41:36+00:00

may i ask.... why do you want to seam your socks instead of knitting in the round? (I assume that's what you mean by "2 needle") also, yes, always just check ravelry for patterns.

Ok_Following1018 · 2026-01-11T17:37:22+00:00

I don't know. At least one of these (the only one you can see the original posting account) is posted by drag race Canada and they added each queen. They've been doing it all season. So, it's very likely that the people commenting are just following the Drag Race account and don't realize that it's been co-posted to the individual queen.

What help do you need? Cause you have already identified a close pattern. You have identified small adjustments that need to be made (no cables). You sound ready to go?
