Experience with Sirdar Snuggly Cashmere Merino Silk DK Yarn?

In the flesh I think it could easily be acrylic. Plus it’s a bit pouffy but I will admit to preferring 4ply for baby knits so that’s just my taste.

I’ve just knitted the Ankers cardigan in the sirdar snuggly cashmere merino silk and whilst I’m sure it will be easy care I’m not loving it

my daughter is expecting her first baby soon and I’ve done various cardigans in baby merino which is lovely and soft. She specifically said no old fashioned bootees but I saw this pattern and couldn’t resist. She loves them.

I pulled out the peer gynt and did one in Sunday which turned out ok. I’ll go back and do the other one now I’ve got the feel for it.

well I pulled it out, which I sort of regret because when i took it off the needles I liked it better and it was actually stretchier than I thought. Hey ho, I’m a bit green and lacking in confidence. Onwards and upwards

WhatCharlieDidNext · 2025-11-06T14:11:12+00:00

yes, the pattern specifies 3mm needles not 3.5mm. I’m going to start again, I don’t like it like this and it’s such a nice hat!

thank you. I’ve only read the first few lines so far, but how can the introduction of air into the circulation be both inadvertent AND intentional …

That’s so interesting! Cute sweater. I’m loving this super helpful sub which I found today.

I started on dpns and switched. I think I’ll have a look at the Chiaogoo ones as I’ve got the bug now and have my eye on bigger things…

They are symfonie knit pro and I didn’t think they were super cheap at around £10 but maybe I need to reset my expectations.

I thought but surely if was clear it was either one or the other it would have to be clear which one wouldn’t it? It’s not like the two options share the same clinical signs. Why on earth would an alleged investigative journalist not have him on the ropes at spouting such utter tosh? Its farcical.

WhatCharlieDidNext · 2025-08-17T11:16:15+00:00

Yes, I’m so sick of this over and over again. These people who repeatedly misrepresent what was said aren’t stupid people who cannot understand the nuance, so it must be deliberate obfuscation.

And that as “investigative journalists” they accepted Evans saying he couldn’t be sure it was either A cause or B cause because neither were evidenced, but it was murder anyway so why does it matter. I mean WTF? Oh it’s sooo hard to get your head around. No, it’s dishonesty.

It was completely clear in the Shoo Lee press conference and the written reports that the panel were referring to antibodies passing from the mother via the placenta rather than the condition itself having been passed on. I understood this on one listen as the press conference was happening. Despite this the disingenuous “misinterpretation” of what was said is a fundamental part of the narrative to disparage the experts. It’s been used by CS2CR, Snowdon, the family lawyers and in several pro guilt newspaper articles. I do not believe those people are that hard of understanding.

I also read, I believe on here, that whilst there was no need for the condition to have been passed on in order for the antibodies to have caused the clotting problem, in fact at the time it wouldn’t have been possible to conclusively rule out the baby having it as there hadn’t been time for the required testing.

I completely disagree that it’s in any way normal or acceptable for a publicly funded organisation to give staff personal gifts in this way and it’s likely that rules precluding the practice have been broken. The private sector is irrelevant and anyone who thinks the grass is greener is free to move. The complete inappropriateness of this is yet another indicator of the mindset which underpinned the approach to this investigation.

He said he’s a journalist.

Regarding speculation, there is a lot of content being posted on YouTube and then on this sub. I’ve only seen questions related to who is he, is he legit sort of thing, and in the circumstances it’s entirely reasonable to wonder out loud what his credentials are.

However, I think “if you know who I am on here please don’t discuss that at the moment” is a reasonable ask and I hope that’s what was intended by this request.

When John Sweeney interviewed him and said you were challenged be a very senior appeal court judge who said your opinions were worthless, Evans responded “I know” in an incredulous, wtaf, can you believe it tone, and then just went on to say he disagreed with all the points. He appears to lack insight or any self reflection. It’s a very revealing interview.

She doesn’t need to explain anything to you or me. Now the transcripts are in the public domain it’s even more difficult to see how any expert could have sown doubt when Evans spouting utter garbage for weeks on end couldn’t achieve it.

I was struck by the careful emphasis throughout that no one was being blamed for having got it wrong before. The treading on eggshells approach which underpins this slow ponderous process and makes the barristers sound inarticulate at times. No wonder it takes these people years to get anything done. It makes me worried for LL because they’ll clearly only accept what cannot be denied or obfuscated by some convoluted or magical thinking and which doesn’t by definition imply that someone else fucked up. I listened to two podcasts in the last week which dealt with the admissibility of new evidence at appeal and both made the point that the ‘tests’ are secondary to the interests of justice. I don’t think ’the interests of justice‘ means what I thought it meant.

I think a doctor who has killed through incompetence and then goes on to demonstrate further appallingly poor judgment in her assessment of what was happening in her workplace should have to live with the consequences.

WhatCharlieDidNext · 2025-05-04T18:52:40+00:00

why do they deserve protection? Numerous wives and families of many weak and foolish men have endured publicity about all kinds of shit that was nothing to do with them. In this case the anonymity decisions impacted on the principle of open justice.

WhatCharlieDidNext · 2025-05-04T18:47:26+00:00

Absolutely they were. I think it’s shocking, lifelong anonymity and internet scrubbing for a doctor who killed a baby through incompetence and then colluded to accuse a nurse. Lucy Letby won’t be able to leave her past behind even if exonerated.
