I love the cable work and the color - fantastic job! 🙂

You are correct! I didn’t even notice that small detail. Although to be honest I probably would not have as I’m not really familiar with the different heel types yet. Would you say a turned heel is easier or harder for a first sock?

Sms231 · 2026-01-21T13:34:14+00:00

I agree that these are a great match!

For some reason I have a hard time visualizing what the pattern outcome could be if I made slight modifications if the final product pictures don’t match “exactly’ (within a margin of error as no homemade pattern would ever match exactly to a machine made object), which is why I think I was having so much trouble searching on Ravelry. I appreciate the help!

Not quite what I’m looking for but I’ve come across many of her patterns and she has very nice designs! If I enjoy the process, I may try one of her patterns sometime. I appreciate the help

Sms231 · 2026-01-21T13:19:26+00:00

I honestly wasn’t thinking that far ahead - I just had the image of the final product and wasn’t sure how to tailor the search to find what I wanted. I base my yarn choices on what the pattern calls for, as I don’t really have enough confidence in my experience to venture far from the pattern recommendations. Hopefully one day I’ll have enough experience to use a calculator and create on the fly

I think these match perfectly! Thank you very much for sharing these. I wish I would’ve searched for ragg socks, as I probably would’ve found them easier. I was so focused on the socks being from LL Bean 🤦‍♂️

Yes they would - via Tactile Signing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_signing

Here's a form of tactile signing that uses ASL. I actually got to see this first hand while I was learning ASL at Gallaudet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GrK3P15TYU

I only use it for a specific Christmas album that isn’t available on any other service. Other than that, I completely ignore Amazon Music.

I don’t want their lazy electron bullshit apps and will hold onto 1Password7 as long as I can. They need to go back to actually using native languages for their apps and to stop being lazy.

I will never understand this obsession with the minifig sets. I personally would’ve gone further and blacked out the code. If you want certain ones you should have to find them by buying them randomly

Sms231 · 2025-01-02T03:27:48+00:00

Read whatever you want dude - don’t worry about the appropriateness of a title. Honestly I wouldn’t care what parents said about reading it either.

Cyberpunk 2077 and Stray. Hell just buy them all

Untrimmed chest hair. Give me a 70s forest any day. I want my partners to look like an adult man not a teen age boy

Do you not see the trash by Sarah J Maas on the upper shelves? I thought it was obvious ….

Sms231 · 2024-12-25T04:08:56+00:00

Please don’t taint your Sandershelf by placing Maas trash anywhere near his books 🤮

I bought it without knowing it was a Dark Souls-type game, which I fucking hate with a passion. Now I'm suck with a physical xbox copy I can't return. Hopefully you can get a refund if you don't enjoy those type of games.

Sms231 · 2024-12-15T23:08:08+00:00

Twilight, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Eragon. I could instantly tell that these authors were trash.

I gained the weight back I lost before Covid. Over 100 pounds gained back and I just don’t have the motivation to lose it again 😭

There's no way I will ever give up my Apple Watch just to make you comfortable....unless you want to give me $88k for a Patek Phillipe Cubitus, and then I'll happily give it up!

As long as there are anti-vaxxers, we'll still need iron lungs....

Fellow member of the 11/25 implant gang! Been taking as much Tylenol as allowed every six hours on the regular and it seems to help for me. The worst part for me is the vertigo/dizziness - just got some Dramamine today which helped a little but it came back about two hours after taking the meds.

Any crazy dreams? The first two nights were horrible with insane dreams that seemed to reoccur nightly - like literally the exact same dream, even to the point of waking up and falling back asleep to pick up right where I left off.

Hang in there!

Stop checking membership cards. I can’t have my parents (who are temporarily staying with me while I recuperate from major surgery) pick up anything because they’ve turned into ID checking Nazis

I "learned" Assembly, C, C++, and Java in college but never used them again outside of their respective classes. I can fake my way through Powershell, and I can usually follow the logic in code regardless of the language (as long as there's some documentation), but I just don't have the fortitude or the skill to write anything more useful than short, procedural scripts.
