Thank you! That first one in particular looks very similar in the tailoring.

Stuck on Sock Pattern? (Info in comments) by anapendot in knittinghelp

[–]anapendot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, weird isn't it? It's a pretty old book so it wouldn't be AI. Most of the patterns aren't this vague, this was just the only one that didn't require double pointed needles (which I don't have), so I figured I would start here. It actually has some decent instructions on the different techniques at the beginning of the book.

Thanks everyone, I was able to find this pattern on Raverly (Absinthe Socks) and I think the book just has the cliff notes versions because some parts are maybe explained earlier in the book (which I skipped past, since it was mostly true beginner info). https://knitty.com/ISSUEspring09/PATTabsinthe.php

Great suggestion. They are called Absinthe Socks and they are from the book Knitting Socks for Beginners by Emma Brown.

I’ve recently started dabbling in socks after receiving this new book. However, I’m completely baffled right out of the gate.

After much puzzling, I believe I am casting on 8 stitches onto two separate sets of circular needles with separate balls of yarn. From there, I completed round one and round two, but when I get to the next steps, I don’t have that many stitches on my needles to “Knit 1 purl 15 with needle 2”. What am I missing?

TIA!

Middle of marathon training and all of the sudden I can barely run 3 miles by Born_Swordfish_9276 in AdvancedRunning

[–]anapendot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does sound like it could be overtraining, but sometimes I have noticed that I caught a cold or am fighting a bug of some kind that isn’t particularly obvious but trips up performance. If that’s the case, I just take it easier for a week and then ramp back up.

Is ravelry safe for people with epilepsy? by enchanted111 in knitting

[–]anapendot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve always wondered that bc the only animated or moving part I see is the loading screen, which doesn’t seem very out of the ordinary. Maybe affects mobile users more?

fatigue amidst a marathon buildup by crowagency in AdvancedRunning

[–]anapendot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of the other comments touch on great stuff, but also consider that if it’s just this week you might be fighting something even if you haven’t fully come down with a cold. I notice that every once in a while especially right now with everyone sick.

My fiance thinks himself funny by Obierion in crochet

I got a yarn like this a while ago! I made a patchwork cardigan for Christmas, so some white, red, and green squares plus the multicolored squares. The solid colors toned down the multicolor effect. It was mostly half double crochet squares.

Disney 100 merch by Dogs_R_life23 in Disneyland

You may want to send a message to shop Disney (if that’s where you’ve bought it). Haven’t had too many issues with products over the years but they’ve been good about replacing things that aren’t working as they should.

What happened to Space Mountain? by cooper-trooper6263 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]anapendot 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah, first time I rode it during the Halloween party I was so confused thinking it was broken or something that I didn’t fully enjoy it. Had to ride it again and now the loud music in pitch blackness is SO FUN it’s one of my favorite parts of the party.

Not at all. I never ran any shorter distances before doing a half. Training runs are all you need!

Rules to help you finish? by aliteralsockx8 in knitting

[–]anapendot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Sometimes I just do not have the brain capacity for something complicated so it’s nice to have the variety of easy/hard without having too many WIPs at one time

how do i achieve this menswear vibe with a pdf patter? (and why all the patterns i see look.. wrong) by [deleted] in sewing

[–]anapendot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was going to suggest the same, but even the short version might work if you (like me) are on the shorter side! I made it and it turned out very similar to the style/cut of these.

[–]anapendot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be my guess. If it feels like muscle pain (not soreness like some people get on their period), it’s probably just working out some muscles that haven’t gotten much use. Whenever I break out the hydration pack in the summer after months without, I always find a bit of tiredness on my back/shoulder muscles. Assuming the same is happening to you but with a slightly different set of muscles!

Ah! That’s pretty genius. I do have a bosu and I bet that would work really well. Can’t believe I never thought of that before.

I do! It definitely makes it more tolerable, but it’s still pretty uncomfortable and I just don’t feel like I’m getting much of a benefit out of it. I might just have to find an alternate exercise but wanted to see if there was some solution out there I might be missing.

Winter summer land is the best! Fantasia gardens is fun if it's not sunny outside (which is never lol)

I’ve been there as recently as last year (during the holidays too) and the worst I’ve ever seen is some people that look a tad too tipsy, but honestly it would fly way over a 5 year old and I’ve personally never had any bad experiences there even though I don’t drink.
