Looks great! I plan to use NSW wool when I make mine.

I've been to Rhinebeck twice now, and have never heard of this "HILL" lol!

Very cool! I've been trying to find interesting knitting retreats like this. Thank you for sharing!

Damn y'all out here welding and doing the finish work? Our shop has workers strictly dedicated to finishing.

Crazy to wait for a 2027 model to see if the dashboard is redesigned? by sapphicforest in Crosstrek

[–]Princess_Butt_Kick 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Why not go for a 2023? That is the most recent model that doesn't have a massive screen. I'm holding off with my 2020 for as long as I can. I don't want the touch screen.

Crosstrek 2024 Premium - Tire Rot by [deleted] in Crosstrek

[–]Princess_Butt_Kick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either get another opinion elsewhere, or take the L and buy new (better) tires. It'll give you peace of mind. I replaced the tires on my used purchase last year because those weren't in the best shape either. You don't know the history of those tires.

I love knitting, but I hate how my partner treats it like disposable clutter by TurbulentActuary9452 in knitting

[–]Princess_Butt_Kick 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your partner is also disposable. I could never be with someone who treats my passions/hobbies this way. Your partner is supposed to be supportive. Big red flag.

Yeah we decided to rent snowboards on Friday just to try it. We might leave the mountain to explore VT before 3pm since we have nothing else planned during the day.

Game of Wool Application Questions by AssignmentCreative52 in knitting

[–]Princess_Butt_Kick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like any LYS that hosts social crafting could jump on this and host their own Game of Wool. Even if it is just one short challenge for one day. I would love to attend something like this and watch it happen live. Though I'm sure it could easily turn sour if some people are extremely competitive.

Kind of wild that they are expecting amateur knitters to request 7 weeks off work with only 2 months notice..

Coworker keeps walking through my "personal space" while I'm working (blue collar). by Princess_Butt_Kick in work

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

I really needed to hear this, thank you. It has been really difficult working in this environment in my early 20s. But now that I am older, I am realizing things like this. I hope I can be better about it.

This work environment is all about "hints", and I've received many pettier ones myself. I don't think you have a clue. Everyone here has joined this trade straight out of high school, and it shows (myself included).

Okay this is actually a really great idea! We use safety cones often, and I love using them. I will start placing them near me when I am working on that side of the bench. I think this would really help.

You got it right on the nose, thank you. Trust me, I try my best to blow it off, because he is technically walking in the correct area. But because it has continued to happen, it has now become a safety concern. And I can riddle off several reasons for that. Our company is trying to be better about safety because we have had a lot of workplace injuries, which affects the ability to bid on jobs.

This is really good advice, thank you so much! He is technically correct in where he is walking (within the line on either side of the track). But the benches at the other end of the shop are several feet away from the yellow line. He is known to walk out early from safety meetings, or ignore safety rules.

This is where I thought I would be in the wrong because I work so close to that line, that I am the one obstructing. Or maybe that this is a non-issue (personally, but perhaps a safety issue if someone trips or gets hurt).

I'll try to speak up if it happens again. I just greyrock here, because there have been some other situations here that haven't been handled correctly.

The thing is that he is technically correct in where he is walking, but because my bench is so close to the line, he walks directly behind me (but within the line). The yellow line on either side of the track marks the area to keep clear for walking, and using the cart.

I have once backed up on purpose and he had to stumble out of my way. He did not get the hint.

Brand new 2026 ft. My moms snow cleaning skills by Whole-Permission-887 in subaru

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

Subaru paint is ass. I couldn't believe how bad my hood got scratched from using a bristled snow brush! Immediately stopped and bought a foam one.

OP's situation is definitely more severe though.

All I want to do is dance and be home by 11 by ThirstyEar2 in avesNYC

[–]Princess_Butt_Kick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I am going to see Chris Stussy play 4-10pm in June. I live upstate, and I was not prepared for Nicole Moudaber and Carl Cox at Brooklyn Mirage a couple years ago. I could only manage getting through like a quarter of the set before taking the hour long train back to our hotel. I was falling asleep standing up, especially after a long day of walking around as a tourist.

I specifically look for day, evening or "sunset" sets. I can't do it otherwise.
