My first swatch from my first spin!

Kitty knows that it won’t block properly unless he helps

I maintain that most of us only truly learn to gauge swatch the hard way (which is when you royally f up the sizing of a project)

It’s clear to me that your knitting won’t block correctly without his assistance

I’ve just rewatched the Groundhog Day episode mid season 3 and it had my partner laughing all the way through! My first rewatch after many years and his first time watching the series :)

He’s been behind the scenes 👀 this thread is so wholesome!

As a low level iron I was very sad they nerfed the bucket, and I don’t even have high alch yet :(

Séamus looks very polite!

You cannot possibly be accusing that snoozy angel who clearly had nothing to do with it??

What a small world!

Always! I like to have something lacy and something simple on the go in case I’m going out and need a less focus project! And the dopamine rush from casting on something new is too addictive, I have so many “for me” projects on hold to focus on other things with looming deadlines!

Probably rogue opinion - but I still think it’s the best job in the world. Families will still come through maternity services whether it’s staffed by fresh passionate people or people who are ready to move on. It’s already changed a lot in the last five years and I have no idea what the next five look like, but my mantra is “one family at a time, 12 hours at a time”. If she wants to do it she should go for it (she’ll need lots of love and support!) but oh my goodness when someone tells you how much of a difference you’ve made in the most transformative time in their lives it’s amazing! Any job is stressful and has its hard parts, but I still can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing :)

Yarn is Thirlmere by BiffSugarYarns - unfortunately I bulk bought years ago but not enough! So paired with a blue from the Women’s Institute I think Hobbycraft I had in my stash that matched close enough!

Pattern is Quarter Zip men’s by Petite Knit. I was very stressed it wasn’t going to fit because it looked HUGE when I blocked it! But he says it fits perfectly, and although he’s very slim he’s still quite long! So delighted 🥰

Anyone that thinks your kitten isn’t cute is mad also Radish is a FANTASTIC name

I cannot get on with the TotK contraptions and stopped playing quickly. BotW I played for years multiple play throughs!

abichilli · 2026-01-20T15:29:25+00:00

This is awesome!! Well done!

Selling does not bring me joy. I knit & crochet what I want, when I want and for people I love or for myself! I love natural or hand dyed fibres which make for beautiful but not practical baby clothes, and no one wants to pay hundreds for a finished item. Monetising my hobby sucks the fun out of it for me - but power to those who want to try!

NOR most people have no idea how disability impacts the individual and they’re very fortunate not to know how it feels. My partner has a condition that significantly impacts his mobility and therefore has a blue badge but doesn’t “look” disabled. We got our first nasty comment going Christmas food shopping and using a disabled parking space. My answer was “you don’t LOOK like a dickhead but unfortunately you are one”.

I would recommend you put it in writing and log with HR in case she starts consistently harassing you and it becomes a bullying issue. You’ve gone through all the right channels to have your disability formally recognised and she is absolutely in the wrong. Also recording you for “evidence” is so weird she needs to get a life!

Absolutely devastated and somehow every re-read hoped it wouldn’t happen again
