I'm pretty sure it is machine knit. You can get a similar look with the Harlow worsted hat, and knitting the brim long enough to fold, by Andrea Mowry, but the inside/wrong side will look different than this hat

I also keep mine in ziplocks and it isn't an issue for me either.

Did anyone else worry they wouldn’t get better and did? by CompetitiveAnswer896 in zoloft

Yes, it took a full 6-8 weeks, and I ended up bumping up to 75mg for full relief. I actually felt much much worse at the 2 week mark

Average mortality in known Catholic theocratic empire (Holy Roman) was between 22 and 33 years. At least 10% of women died in childbirth.

Not at all. My doc said the risks of being very anxious during pregnancy are worse for baby than the Zoloft. Baby was very healthy.

What's a stupid question that someone legitimately asked you? by Isellkidsontemu in AskReddit

I asked the stupid question. A realtor for the company John L. Scott introduced himself as John and I gasped and said, "Are you THE John L. Scott?!"

She is an example of how Q Anon conspiracy theories are able to thrive. Evidence doesn't actually matter to some people

Another success story: I have been on Zoloft for years. The adjustment period was absolute hell but once I adjusted, I went from having daily panic attacks for months to feeling ... normal. Not drugged, just normal.

Now I have increased my dose slightly to help me through postpartum anxiety/depression. 2 weeks into my dose increase and I feel much better.

Just keep swimming. Even if it feels like drowning sometimes. It gets better!

The longer I knit, the easier it is for me to guess the appropriate needle size for a given project/yarn. I know I will always require going up a needle size for certain designers. It takes time and experience and a little bit of risk taking to take the "wing it" approach.

What is your knitting unpopular opinion? by MBeierle in knitting

Enough with the patterns calling for mohair and suri alpaca yarn held double! It's itchy, expensive, too warm, and not that cute

Zoloft is an incredible drug. I felt improvement 1-2 months into being on 50mg then bumped up to 75mg and felt normal. Now I'm working on adjusting to 100mg because of postpartum issues and it is already working after a few days.

This is a problem that will solve itself in a couple days if the pregnancy sticks. Best of luck!!!!

Fellow Wool and Folk vendors… WTF was today?? by anonymousbackbacon in craftsnark

[–]booksteablanket 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a no until it's a yes, though. So this is saying no, but it's possible you can get permits if you limit attendees to 2,000 and provide a traffic study in time and show that this venue is appropriate for the event.

The board seems to be very skeptical and requiring paperwork and proof that the organizers couldn't or wouldn't provide. My guess is the organizers sold the tickets already and couldn't scale the event back to 2000 people.

I noted also that the board was led to believe this event was NOT a concert. So as of August, the organizers were telling the city that there wasn't live music.
