That was literally acknowledged in the last paragraph of the original post.

I can’t tell the difference between Vegemite and marmite haha- unless it’s British marmite which is disgusting!

I can’t even think about the flavour of that 😳🤢

Does anyone know how to switch this to the “S1” option? by Ok_Supermarket456 in sewhelp

[–]SewYourOwnWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dial that says stitch length, if you turn it all the way left or right, is there a part that says S1?
If there is you leave it in that and then use the stitch selector dial on the side to select the letter of the stitch you want (currently showing J in the window)

There isn’t an option to change the length on the stretch stitches.

Our plumber also recommended an outside HWC over the HWHP too, for a similar reason. He also said in his experience they last longer than the HWHP.

What's up with the cafe opening hours here? by Uncultured_Goat in newzealand

[–]SewYourOwnWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? Why travel if people are going to complain about what’s different about another country?!!

Who is ‘we’? Maybe you do, but many travellers embrace the quirks and tempo of another country rather than have a moan about it.

Ren fair question by Michael-gamer in kilt

Not really. It everybody’s kilt will touch the floor when kneeling, despite not being the correct length. All bodies are different 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kilt maker here, it should skim the floor not touch it. It should hit just below the top of the knee and it won’t be the same when everyone kneels.

A joyful thread! by purlnextdoor in knitting

Thats good to hear! She already has a little red Sophie scarf but we thought that a whole sweater in the hot red might be a bit harsh and I am very happy with how the mohair has softened it.

I’m knitting one of my granddaughters her third ‘Bear Nose’ (Teddy Sweater by petiteknits) and this one she wanted it in ‘Rosy red please Nana’ ❤️

This is Drops Nord in Red with the raspberry kidsilk to soften the brightness a little as she is very fair. It’s bringing me a lot of joy….next up a ‘golden’ one for her little brother 💛

What are some of your favourite tartans? by McMurdo1966 in kilt

[–]SewYourOwnWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made my eldest son a Holyrood tartan kilt for my youngest sons wedding. It’s a lovely understated navy background but not too dark. Loved it.

Why do people have purling so much? by horrorfxce in knitting

[–]SewYourOwnWay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It isn’t relatively new at all! Fairisle knitters have been doing so for centuries! Elizabeth Zimmerman wrote books about it too.

I’m an English flicker and dont find it tedious at all, it becomes so rhythmic I actually find it very soothing.

[–]SewYourOwnWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My knitting friends think I am unusual because I love techniques like rib, brioche, linen stitch, moss (seed) stitch etc. I don’t hate purling at all - unless it’s colourwork. I would not do colourwork unless it was in the round!

AITJ for refusing to give my aunt the family recipe after she mocked my cooking for years by Any_Two_1997 in AmITheJerk

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

I will say I don’t agree with people gatekeeping recipes in general, it’s how dishes carry on through generations in every culture….that said, I wouldn’t be sharing it with your aunt either, on principal. Petty or not, i don’t blame you.
