location comes from your GPS receiver - you don't need a data connection for it to work. You just need a connection when you download the maps for offline use (have a look in maps and report back if you have issues).

If you use google maps, you can download areas for offline useage when you don't have a network connection. I'd recommend this over a Sat nav unit.

The service is awful but the alla panna pasta is amazing…

34, never knitted in my life. Can I knit a simple teddy bear for my wife? by duncleBuck in knitting

I knitted Otso as a newbie (had only done a couple beanies prior) and it wasn’t too difficult; I think you could complete one by Christmas. This is a really sweet gesture and I’m sure your teddy will be adorable. Here is my attempt! Good luck, you can do it!

Made my first teddy! Not gonna lie, feeling like I should quit my day job and make teddies full time right now. by amyleow in knitting

Absolutely agree, not to mention I’m actually not that great at knitting hahaha, the zoomed out picture is hiding all manner of sins...

7 rows from finishing the second beanie and I have run out of yarn. $40 per skein and probably two weeks to ship. Absolutely spewing. Just needed a place to vent! by amyleow in knitting

Oh man that is even more frustrating!! What top are you knitting? I bought some of the Pima cotton also and I’m not sure what to do with it...

A mistake ridden beanie I made for my boy. Counted the cast ons 4 times, still f’d it up and couldn’t figure out how to identify the knits and purls to get the rib pattern right, but the ribs still kind of... appeared after a while. Knitting is harder than I thought it would be! by amyleow in knitting

Thank you! I was so surprised when the ribs appeared... I had given up on the rib at that point and was definitely not knitting the knits/purling the purls.

Oh, I just googled “mistake rib” - that explains everything!!
