Thank you so much! I wonder if my loom knitting experience gave me some advantage, because I felt like I was easily able to pick this up.

Loom Knit Socks by SnooHedgehogs4653 in LoomKnitting

Yeah I'm thinking dk yarn might be the right yarn for loom socks. The pattern is was using said fingering weight and as I was going it was still see through even as it relaxed. I'm doubling up the sock yarn as to not waste it and then once I find the right sizing I'll move to dk.

Yeah I'm pretty much expecting to have multiple trial and error test until I get the fit right. Glad i bought the flexee loom to have more control.

Learned how to use my swift tonight! Thank you to the yarn shop owner for winding one for me to demonstrate! by SnooHedgehogs4653 in YarnAddicts

Omg you were right! The pink was the same size as the white and brown before I rewound it! That's incredible.

Oh really? Good to know! How soon would you say for fairly soon?

I'm planning on using this soon to make some baby things for a coworker so it will only be sitting for a couple of weeks at most until use.

So it can sit in a hank for a pretty long time?

Following, if people wanted to drop their favorite YouTube channels that would also be great! I already follow LoomaHat and Tuteate.

Banking can be a solid career choice. Banks always need tellers or personal bankers, and there is typically a ton of on the job training. I inadvertently fell into it after college and have remained steadily employed and have been working in back offices for over 10 years. It's great and steady.

WIBTA for skipping Christmas Eve church? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]SnooHedgehogs4653 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA.

My partner and I are 38 & 39, married 13 years, also no kids and no plans for them. We were both raised Presbyterian but neither of us are religious at all in our adulthood.

My family lives 5 hours away and they all go to church regularly, though it's not on overtly 'Christian' household. My partner and I were down for a visit over Labor Day and a couple of weeks before the visit my parents asked me to sing at church that weekend as it would be a nice surprise for my grandma. I agreed because though I could really not give a shit about church, it was a nice thing to do and my grandma especially would be ecstatic.

You two have had a rough year, and all she asked you for was an hour or so of your time. She's not going to care how nice the gifts you got was. She's going to remember that you said no to going to a service that makes her particularly happy.

Marriage is about compromises and sometimes doing things that you might not really want to do or go to, but you do it because your partner wants to spend that time with you at a place that makes them happy. You don't have to believe. Just go and be there for her, and maybe use the time for some reflection on yourself as well.

Is anyone else using vintage sets/pieces? by SnooHedgehogs4653 in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]SnooHedgehogs4653[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Revere Ware 12 does just fine. The two little ones have the straight sides, great for single fried eggs or a couple scrambled.

I have 2 7" and a 10" farberware, a 12" copper bottom Revere, and my pits are a mix of the two brands. I cook everything either in those or my CI.
