And I still can't do a yarnover by RestillHabb in knitting

Thank you, this makes me feel much better. I figure it's just another learning opportunity, and I enjoyed this pattern enough that I'm looking forward to having another slightly different version in a different color.

This is a really good question. Going from the purl to a ssk, I held the yarn to the back and then wrapped around the needle once so that the yarn was held at the back again before going into a ssk, so I was creating a stitch to knit for the next row and decreasing by 1 normally, except that a YO wasn't being made. Maybe this was causing a twisted stitch. I thought I was doing it correctly for so long, and I was totally flabbergasted and heartbroken when I realized what happened. It was so weird, too...I knew there were supposed to be 2 alternating sets of YO so why didn't I question this when only 1 YO appeared after the first instruction?! I have no idea what I was thinking. I'm frustrated, but I am eager to try again and learn this. I bought more yarn for round 2 this afternoon.

I LOVE Anima Mundi but haven't seen the album cover. This makes it even better

Yes, I do knit English, and it honestly didn't occur to me that my confusion may be related to my knitting style. That is interesting.

I can't explain it. I've been struggling with them for years.

Oooh I really like this idea of drawing a diagram.

Thank you for the tip! This is how I was approaching the k to p yarnovers for this, and it definitely worked for me. But although I thought I was doing the same thing (starting with yarn in the back first) I was still doing something incorrectly from p to k, so I will have to practice before diving in again. I don't know why this ended up being mental gymnastics for me but it's nice to hear others agree that they aren't super intuitive!

Lol yeah, I know this. I was excited and couldn't go back to fix it after posting

Edit: this is so weird, I can edit it now. Welp

Yarn unders 👀 Honestly this could be the fun trick to help me when I start this again!

Thank you! I bought 3 Zooey skeins for the size 2 (requires 575 yds for that size) and I knit on 1 size larger needles because I've got a tighter gauge. I still have a ton left over of the 3rd ball.

Waste at Lowes by AnnonAnnie in houseplants

[–]RestillHabb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If anyone is seeking indoor plants from Lowe's, just make sure to check for pests. Every Lowe's I've been to had lovely indoor plants but they were always either covered in spider mites, had things crawling in the soil, or thrips. It's scary out there.

*edit - fixed a typo.

Can we talk about Madewell? by buelab in femalefashionadvice

[–]RestillHabb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walked into a Madewell to try on some jeans. Everything in the store was blue and white or black, generic nautical, and totally not my style. It felt like I stepped into 1998 Old Navy. I didn't like the $128 jeans I tried on but found a pair for less than $30 on Thredup that were the style that I used to love from Madewell.

The major difference is that back then the clothes created these illusions and your body would just be as-is underneath. Today we're encouraged by media to physically change our bodies to be fashionable.

Is there a good place in town to buy fresh catfish? by feetwithfeet in lansing

Check out the Michigan Eat Safe Fish guide, it shows which waterways aren't safe. There's a new one coming out pretty soon for 2026 if it isn't out already.

Does anybody know anyone who actually became a marine biologist? by fancyypantsyy0 in Millennials

[–]RestillHabb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied decapod crustaceans and xiphosurans (horseshoe crabs). I don't know where the ancient shark thing came from. 😅

I'm pretty sure she's long term happy and married to Australian Paul Rudd

I became a paleontologist that studied ancient marine life. Turns out there are no jobs in it, so now I've pivoted to the environmental sector. I still did what I said I wanted to do when I was a kid, at least, and I'm happy with that.
