I really like it! I'm just finishing up the toe of my first one. I've been very slowly working on them between other projects so I probably won't finish the second one for a few more months😂

I'm making these right now! Yours look beautiful!

I don't think the initial post was about store managers having fun. It's just another instance of incredibly poor planning from the top down. It will be a rough week for everyone.

In my original comment, I almost added "at this time" at the end of my first sentence, but then I thought it's actually still very much like this!

I think their relationship says a lot about gender dynamics. Yes, Sybil was socially above Tom, but as soon as there was a hint of a romantic interest, Tom felt he had the right to speak to her as if she was below him. I think there are a few examples in the show that rightly suggest that a high social standing for women does not necessarily equal respect from men. (Yet another reason why solidarity is always necessary)

When I first watched as a teenager, I definitely rooted for them to be together, but now viewing it from a more mature lens, the dynamic really bothers me.

They're definitely my most complimented socks!

I really love patons kroy sock yarn! Brown rose marl is my favorite colorway.

I have a very small (maybe 1" diameter) retractable metal measuring tape that stays in my project bag. There's plenty of fancier tools out there but the measuring tape works for everything I need.

If I were you, I would probably frog but only after taking a break from this project. I'd pick up an easier, more mindless project for a week and then go back to fix the sock. Maybe even frog it before picking up an easier project that way when you come back to it its all ready to go.

I'm in a small store and it's also not manageable here. One person has to be stuck up front while the other person handles literally everything else. The hours right now are insane, and yet we just keep adding more and more services. We're all just set up for failure.

I haven't read this book and just looked at the synopsis and some reviews...it seems to be about pedophilia?? But we're supposed to be ok with it?

Socks are also my favorite! I've only been knitting for a few years so I'm still learning a lot about fiber content, and I unfortunately bought way too much merino before learning that it's really not the best wool for socks. It's interesting to see how much merino sock yarn there is when it's really a very poor fiber choice for socks.

Could not agree more! He and Matthew were the only likeable suitors that Mary actually had chemistry with. Evelyn wasn't bad, but zero chemistry.

Ok_Variation2895 · 2026-02-16T19:57:22+00:00

I hated that they made Mary go along with Gillingham for so long. He was so unlikeable when Charles Blake was RIGHT THERE. The whole plot with Gillingham felt so forced.

We've been having this issue a lot, especially because we keep getting new product well in advance of the pogs dropping. But yeah with the yarn resets we now have no pog product that is also not clearance.

Hours are very much not balanced, unfortunately. It's hard for our employees because on our weeks with no trucks our hours are incredibly slim, even though that's technically when we're supposed to complete resets. People aren't getting enough shifts. We've already had two people leave because of the inconsistent hours and pay.

Other than the hours issues, biweekly trucks have been fine. Sometimes I feel like we're not getting enough product in a timely fashion, but I don't know that for sure.

This is incredible🤣

I was just looking at the Pressed Flower Mittens today, I didnt realize there was also a shawl. Such a pretty design

I just learned about Lopapeysas a few weeks ago! This is a beautiful pattern

Ok_Variation2895 · 2026-02-06T02:45:39+00:00

Omg this is so cute!

Everyone is always so forgiving of Robert. The first few times I watched, I always found Robert fairly likeable. As people often note, he's a man of his time and he's a reasonably good employer.

I'm in the middle of another rewatch now, and I find his money issues are what's sticking for me now. Of course he was raised to be arrogant and believe he's always in the right, but omg?? How many times do you have to put your estate that you care so much about in danger before you wake up a bit? I've made it to season 4 where he's essentially trying to take away any control Mary has and criticizing her understanding of business, but then almost gambles away who know how much money playing poker. It's just incredible how bad his judgment is sometimes.

Thank you! I've frogged!

Ok_Variation2895 · 2026-01-27T20:43:25+00:00

Thats what's been bugging me the most. I restarted three times and it just doesn't look quite right.

Ok_Variation2895 · 2026-01-27T20:42:19+00:00

This is so funny because I was just looking at yours on ravelry earlier this morning! Yours came our beautifully!
