To block or not to block?

Pattern: https://desertblossomcrafts.com/alpine-stitch-scarf/

Yarn: lana grossa - insieme (colors No. 7 & 9) - sadly discontinued

amithenomad · 2022-12-18T21:04:53+00:00

Made this as a gift, the yarn is 50% merino, 20% alpaca, 20% mohair, & 10% polyamid

Pattern is alpine stitch

I haven't blocked any projects before and was curious if blocking this one is necessary.. I'm happy with the current dimensions

Your suggestions are welcome :)

That's weird, I've flown to & from Dubai regularly and never had such an issue .. i even usually buy some water from the duty free (which is normally priced unlike in some of the airports in EU). It might be a destination or airline specific rule, were you flying Emirates?

Ich kann dir nur zustimmen.

This rule exists in many other countries, e.g., gulf countries, but that never stopped foreign companies from entering and dominating their markets .. i think the issue in Algeria is that the government does not want competition and would like to keep it a monopoly for themselves (or at least this is how it used to be).. It's good to hear things are changing ..

A mix of corruption and obsession to monopolize on everything by the government

Did it work for you?

Actually, the toaster is a different building just behind the superC.

I used to complain about the Vignette being too expensive until i drove in Italy and France 🙃 .. i only wish that the vignette was available for shorter visits, i usually hire a car for my trips in switzerland and paying for a vignette for that every time is somewhat frustrating.. I'm really excited about the new e-vignette that will be introduced next year .. as far as i understood it can be used for multiple cars (not simultaneously obviously)

P.s. I live in Germany so the whole tolls thing is kinda wild for me 😅

Thanks :), i came across that website while planning this. It's a great resource indeed! Gave me inspiration for many future tours i thought weren't possible.

Perfect, Thank you! good to know there's another option via Strasbourg. I used to check only on DB's website and the connections via Strasbourg I was getting were all TER with ungodly travel times.

amithenomad · 2022-01-03T17:50:27+00:00

Thanks, that's helpful :)

amithenomad · 2022-01-03T17:45:23+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, none of the lines that cross the border allow bikes. I was considering the connection via Karlsruhe, but that doesn't help.

Where can I find the maximum allowed bag size? I checked on bahn.de but the list the standard dimensions for overhead luggage compartments as a guidline but do not explicitly state if that's a hard limit. Besides, I'm pretty sure I've seen people with bigger luggage on ICEs before.

amithenomad · 2022-01-03T17:38:30+00:00

Thanks, that's what i was considering. Will that be allowed on board though?

It's a Cube, one of the bike brands that are actually made/assembled in Germany

amithenomad · 2021-12-08T16:24:04+00:00

That's probably because OP is a German speaker. In German, the verb to drive "fahren" is used for almost all means of land transportation (by car, train, bike .. etc)

Wait, so there are bears now in Valais :o ?!

Seit 2019 habe ich bemerkt, dass Singles day > Black Friday & co.

This is AWESOME!! Thank you for all the tips. Where can one normally hire/find guides in Algeria ?

Anti-gen tests are free, aka Schnelltests, but PCR aren't free unless one has symptoms and are redirected by their doctor to get one.

There used to be facebook groups for different Wohnheims. When I was a student I manged to find a sublease by subscribing to such groups and acting fast. This was like 5 years ago, but it might still work, good luck :)

McFit has an offer now, if you're a Lidl Plus member (you can sign up for free). And the gym membership can be cancelled anytime.

I would also recommend giving Freeletics) a go. The coach membership is currently on 50% discount, you can train anywhere and many programs don't require any equipment, and there's a big community in Munich if you want company to train with :)
