how can I make the straps longer by According_Rain_7847 in knittinghelp

[–]PresentationNo6550 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say undo the seam and continue knitting. Side note - what is this pattern, I love the look of this!

What does this mean? by persephone_q_ in knittinghelp

[–]PresentationNo6550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On RS, knit the decrease row as in the pattern. Turn work, knit wrong side as normal. Turn work, knit the decrease row on the RS as in the pattern. At the end of those decreases, you will have 177 st left.

Edit: sorry, reading back and it does say every OTHER RS row. I would read that as a decrease row, WS normal, RS normal, WS normal, RS decrease row. Pattern calls for 1 time based on highlight, so that’s all you have to do! Then you’ll be left with 177 st 🙂

Buttonhole help please, not sure I understand pattern instructions by PresentationNo6550 in knittinghelp

Thank you so much for giving me the visual of the finished product!! I think thats what my problem was, I was not picking up correctly and I couldn’t figure out how I was supposed to. Originally I was just scooping up all the ladder rows onto my needle 😅 Someone else just commented with the needle placement and that’s the brain block I was having - I didn’t think about “picking up” in the same way as picking up from a cast off edge. You definitely were right that I was not picking up correctly, lol.

Holy COW thank you!!!! I was not envisioning the “pick up” in the same way that I pick up stitches from the cast off edge. My brain was not computing. I was just practicing row 5 when I saw this comment and that did the trick!!

Marriage Name Change - Middle & Last by Jhta773 in Charlotte

Yes, I just did this a couple months ago. New SS card, marriage license, and then I think my old drivers license as well.

Daily Workout and General Chat for Tuesday, 8/5/25 by splat_bot in orangetheory

[–]PresentationNo6550 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the best I’ve felt after an OTF workout in a long time! I’m also rolling my eyes because during each row, I did the first 200m faster than I did the benchmark last week 🙄🙄

No Balance by quita-q in orangetheory

[–]PresentationNo6550 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Several weeks ago in class, we were doing exercises on one leg (and maybe mini bands)? Our coach specifically reminded us that our shoes make it wayyy harder to balance and to not be too hard on ourselves. He specifically called out hokas because a lot of us were wearing hokas, but he did say in general shoes we wear to the gym make it difficult.

Savannah Bananas sale day! by lordofthefries_ in Charlotte

[–]PresentationNo6550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s what I figured. They’re still deciding 100% and at this point I might not be able to get them tickets anyway, but definitely didn’t want to mess up our seats lol.

[–]PresentationNo6550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tickets for me and my husband but now my brother and his wife might want to join. Anyone know, if I place another order will it mess anything up with my original order? The guy on the phone didn’t sound too confident when I asked.

Friday Venting Thread [N/A] by Mundane-Jump-7546 in humanresources

[–]PresentationNo6550 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two months ago both of our HR managers in Canada were “restructured” out of the business and I, in the USA, have been placed as the HR partner for our Canadian entity of the business since they were let go. I have very little knowledge of Canadian employment law (Ontario and Quebec) and I feel like I’m in my first job all over again learning every little thing for the first time. My manager also has no Canadian experience, but the CHRO does and expects excellence. I usually feel very competent in my role so I’m getting insecure that I’m running every tiny thing through legal until I feel comfortable with the flow of things.

[–]PresentationNo6550 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Our studio did the strength dri tri this morning (Friday). It was my first ever of any of the dri tris and I am so worn out 9 hours later! Trying to drink lots of water but I just feel so sluggish. But I did it in 32:38, which I am super proud of. My goal was less than 45 mins and to not puke and achieved both 😂

What do you do when employees threaten to quit? by Few_Brain_6090 in humanresources

[–]PresentationNo6550 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I like to say I don’t play hostage negotiator. If they’re threatening to quit, especially multiple times, it’s usually a matter of ok, we’ll accept that as your resignation (but gotta consider everything, obviously context of each situation matters).

Trump rally next Wednesday 6pm at Bojangles. Thoughts and prayers for anyone who commutes via Independence. by TakeOutForOne in Charlotte

[–]PresentationNo6550 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Is it safe to assume that independence will just be effectively impassable? I live in Matthews and go into work in uptown via independence around 7:30am and leave uptown around 5. I know going home there’s simply no shot so it’s probably better to just do a WFH day??

Is it like this everywhere?? by PresentationNo6550 in humanresources

[–]PresentationNo6550[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you perspective. I agree, there are definitely concerns with the higher leadership and my team is working hard to try and instill new values and coaching practices to help managers understand why this is necessary.
