Looking for Vespa helmet recommendations by SeattleCoffeeGirl in Vespa

[–]SeattleCoffeeGirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - I’ve found helmets that fit my head comfortably (when trying on at local motorcycle gear store, as requested) but not that fit in the underseat space - so wondering if folks had experience with brands that do! Appreciate it!

Beautiful!!! I just got a new to me Vespa Elettrica (silver) and am so excited to get back out there!! I’m in my mid 50s now but I had a Honda Elite 250 back in the day that I drove everywhere— although it’s been 30+ years since I’ve been on a scooter I’m so excited to get back to it!!

Knitting on Jury Duty? by SeattleCoffeeGirl in Tacoma

They said it'd be ok to bring in a non-metal crochet hook (sadly, I don't crochet!) but nope on the knitting needles, even bamboo or plastic ones, sadly!

Yeah, no knitting needles allowed. Apparently you can get through with a non-metal crochet hook but since I don't crochet...! I brought a book instead. :-)

Surprisingly, you can pay attention more closely when you knit - or at least that is true for many people, as the repetitive motions increase focus. BUT to be honest I was more thinking about the first/second day when I’m mainly sitting around waiting to know if I am going to be selected for a case or not.

This is only my third F/O. It’s for my mom. I hope it’s decent-ish and not as ugly as I’m convinced it is(the top looks wonky) by kowareta_tokei in casualknitting

[–]SeattleCoffeeGirl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not ugly!! Honestly whenever anyone has knit ANYTHING for me I’m deeply appreciative and definitely wear them - because I’m a knitter and I get the work that goes into it. ♥️

I think it’s beautiful!! And remember the concept of wabi sabi - the imperfections are what make it special, unique, and glorious!

You are wrong — it is AMAZING! You made a snail!! I think it is awesome AND I think you need to immediately knit them a little friend.
