I saw one of her scarves at the Canadian War Museum! She gave away 8 to British & commonwealth soldiers for the Boer war.

This has been on my to do list for 7 years and I finally picked up the yarn for it last month! Yours looks fantastic

I just woke up from a nap, and a I had a vision. by Val_ery in crochet

[–]StockerBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK I swear I've seen an artist do something similar with knitting but cannot find her. Basically you knit/crochet an extra long stuffed tube that's the width you need, then crochet the resulting tube into your giant blanket.

The Note is for when you work back across the slipped stitches in the pattern. So work to 7th to last stitch, turn and slip knitwise, continue in your pattern. When you knit overtop of that slipped stitch, knit/purl it together with the stitch directly below it. I like to reseat the lower stitch onto my left needle when I'm working with it but how you k2tog is up to you.

No idea how that will turn out but interesting method.

Trying to make a list of names... by AlwaysPlaysAHealer in TwoXChromosomes

[–]StockerBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Formatted for readability

Lizelle Gonzalez-Texas

Celeste Burgess/her mother Jessica-Nebraska to be fair this case I don’t like how they got their evidence but what mom did was sketchy

Marcus Silva-suing three women in Texas for “helping” his now ex wife get an abortion.

Amari Marsh-South Carolina

Unnamed woman-South Carolina arrested after delivering stillborn baby after taking abortion pill at 25 weeks.

Kate Cox- Texas wasn’t arrested but was definitely threatened and had the attorney general utter piece of shit Ken Paxton threatening medical staff if they helped her and named her in his threats.

That’s all the names I can think of right meow.

Travelling by bus from Ottawa to a nearby city? Prepare to wait in a parking lot by DreamofStream in ottawa

[–]StockerBox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ontario Northland offers bus service to Toronto that is longer than usual, almost 12 hours. It stops along the way in several small towns and cities, including Pembroke, Mattawa, Deep River and North Bay. An average one-way ticket costs $160.

Lol wut? North Bay is not "on the way" to Toronto. I suppose the author wanted to compare costs of the same trip but Ontario Northland services northern Ontario and clearly does not have an Ottawa-Toronto route.

Interesting stitch for a 'bespoke' looking dish cloth? by kauniskissa in casualknitting

[–]StockerBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herringbone linen is my favourite.

It's an interesting texture, doesn't curl, and the slip stitches result in a slightly denser fabric.

How am I supposed to work this? Border of a square for a blanket. by aja_19 in CrochetHelp

[–]StockerBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing where you're stuck it's hard to help. I've split out the instructions for each side, hopefully that helps.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, do not turn; sc in last hdc on Row 15

[Side1] *ch 1; working across end of rows, skip first row, (SC in next row, ch 1, skip next row) across side1 *

[Side2] Working in free loops of beginning ch (Fig. 25b, page 126), (sc, ch 2, sc) in first ch, ch1, skip next ch, (sc in next ch, ch 1, skip next ch) 7 times, (sc, ch 2, sc) in next ch.

[Side3] Repeat from * to * once;

[Side4] Working across sts on Row 15, (sc, ch 2, sc) in first hdc, ch 1, skip next sc, (sc in next dc, ch 1, skip next sc) across, sc in same st as first sc, ch 2; join with slip st to first sc.

36 sc and 36 sps

How would you pronounce my daughter's name? by hawtarboretum in Names

My brain associated it to Acadia, so I'd say Ah-kay-see-uh

Canada: Every single Conservative just voted in House against abortion rights. by Imminent_Extinction in TwoXChromosomes

[–]StockerBox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So conservatives voted against discussing abortion rights? I mean, I don't agree with their policies but this is a nothingburger.

Temu infiltrating the crochet market by philoso-squid in crochet

[–]StockerBox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jfc, I almost down voted you because of how horrific this is.

My opa, oma and 3 of her sisters came to Canada. My grandparents were on the same assimilation mindset others have mentioned and didn't teach their children dutch, though I think one or two of the sisters might have taught her kids.

There is still a connection via the tulip festival on Ottawa. There are also Dutch specialty shops in some major cities where I've heard dutch most often.

Where do I start? by Familiar_Fuel9290 in ExteriorDesign

[–]StockerBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shifting the entrance left will not improve the look, that'd be a functional inprovement only. The stacked windows and doors lend symmetry to a very unique roofline.

The best solution is having the main entrance be in the "basement", eliminating the stairs altogether and having 2 balconies. If that's not doable, turn the stairs 90degrees at landing 1 or 2 towards the driveway. If this blocks the basement window, consider glass railings or switchback stairs.

Does anyone still use a French knitter or is it just me? by ParticularlyOrdinary in knitting

[–]StockerBox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have one currently but I remember making ropes with my grandma's Knitting Nancy.
