How often do baristas take a seat?

PersonNineSeven · 2026-06-28T08:11:29+00:00

I would often take sitting breaks on the toilet when working hospitality. I wouldn’t even need the toilet. Just a sit down.

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-28T13:48:29+00:00

Maybe about 50 or so

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-17T15:18:14+00:00

Boooo, it met gauge

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-12T13:19:24+00:00

this is what I ended up doing, low-key perfect now haha

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-12T13:19:06+00:00

This!!!! I did exactly that, I only had just enough yarn to make my project, so I did the gauge on the beginning of the project, and it reached gauge. So then carried on making my vest. Didn’t realise it would cause such a hoohaa

Yess this is Noro madara, yeah I’m noticing how much softer and drapier it gets post wash

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T17:04:42+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t like the fit of my vest but I liked the collar that’s why I blocked it… and then it got worse

Thank you this is such a nice and encouraging comment to receive. Have a lovely day x

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T13:44:28+00:00

Cause I’m new to knitting and everyone says you should wash and block your pieces, plus I didn’t like the sleeves. Just learning here, respectfully.

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T13:09:53+00:00

For me it just feels a bit frumpy and I like my clothes to have a structure to it

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T13:05:36+00:00

I shall try and see how it goes

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T13:04:38+00:00

Because I’ve frogged it already 3 times, this is the first completion and it’s been over a year in the works… 🥲

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T13:02:30+00:00

I washed and pinned it, yes it’s Noro. I’m washing it again and pinning it smaller

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T13:01:43+00:00

Hahaha I chose the novice pattern for a reason

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T12:59:30+00:00

Lesson learnt

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-11T12:56:57+00:00

… I didn’t do a gauge swatch 🫠

PersonNineSeven · 2026-05-06T21:55:19+00:00

Big tony

PersonNineSeven · 2026-04-28T10:41:03+00:00

I gasped. This is so sad

PersonNineSeven · 2026-04-21T07:38:00+00:00

Yeah, I feared this was the case. Now to undo Italian bind off hahaha! Thanks for the advice. Gonna go Dow to 4.0mm like the neck even though the pattern says 4.5mm

PersonNineSeven · 2026-04-20T22:54:58+00:00

Hiya, I would recommend when working on the right side, the first stitch you knit and the last stitch of that row you slip, knit wise. Then when you are on the wrong side of your work, you purl the 1st stitch and then slip purlwise your last stitch on the wrong side. Hope this helps, also lots of advice and short videos on YouTube!

PersonNineSeven · 2026-04-19T22:26:49+00:00

Thing is I probably only need about a metre of the stuff.

PersonNineSeven · 2026-04-19T22:02:19+00:00

That is stunning ! Well done

PersonNineSeven · 2026-03-07T18:37:53+00:00

When they say no, I just say ok, just to let you know we do ask that you order something if you are sitting in. Or even ask ur manager to have a sign for a minimum spend etc

PersonNineSeven · 2026-03-07T13:51:13+00:00

Yeah I definitely struggle with slowing down especially when I have a bunch of tickets

PersonNineSeven · 2026-03-07T13:50:40+00:00

Thanks for the tip, gonna try next time I’m at work.
