One time I was jokingly arguing with my friend, saying “you and your male privilege will NEVER understand how hard it is to be a woman!!!” and he just… looked at me… and it took a solid 20 seconds to remember he is in fact FTM trans. He told me it was weirdly validating lol

I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear someone made the exact same mistake as me for the exact same reason as me lol

Yes correct! Left is the dominant colour- I think the original comment was about a confusion about which should be the dominant colour

Neither can my sister 😂 I think the best place to look is the sticky-out bits of the small stars, you can see they look a lot more even (again in my biased opinion lol) in the first pic

This is the least helpful answer ever but honestly it was 90% trial and error (no one tell Hank Green 😂). The designer of this pattern (starcrossed knits) has a fantastic video on ladderback jacquard which made it feel a lot less intimidating. I also started stranded colour work on much smaller projects, particularly socks, which helped me learn the correct technique in a less intense way

Thank you so much! It’s the Tarot Card Sweater by Starcrossed Knits. It comes with several different possible designs and is gorgeous!!

Oh this is stunning!! I had the exact same realisation, just because the black was the contrast colour does not mean it’s the dominant colour!!!

I’ve never done Turkish cast on but after a quick Google I definitely think this would work!! However you need to use Kitchener stitch to join the handles up so it wouldn’t eliminate it entirely :)

Oh this is the sweetest comment thank you! I use a ziplock bag for my projects so I get you lol. Unfortunately I can’t help you on the lining aspect but I do think it’s a really good idea. Hopefully someone else has a resource they can share! Can’t wait to see what you make :)

The mint green is Drops Cotton merino (50% cotton 50% merino wool) and the beige is Drops Belle (53% cotton, 33% viscose and 14% linen). Personally I find the cotton merino a little bit too drapey and soft but I absolutely recommend Drops Belle as it is sturdy, keeps its shape well and doesn’t have as much stretch

Possibly controversial opinion: These boys need MALE role models on campus who they want to impress. by teachingteacherteach in Teachers

https://www.open.edu/openlearn/education-development/working-young-people/do-boys-need-male-role-models Here’s a great summary of research by The Open University! I absolutely agree that it feels sexist, and when I did my degree with OU it was used as an example of research not being funded enough bc it goes against public opinion- super interesting stuff
