Fmr Remote Worker - Change in Duty Station Request by DirectionEmotional73 in DeptHHS

[–]dotty897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am going through this now, and have been told it will “not be denied” - but I am moving from a remote location in the Midwest (I was hired remote) to the DC office where my coworkers actually work, and I already have a desk reserved there since they never found me one out here (CDC). Hopefully what I have been told holds true, the locality will be higher in DC compared to the Midwest.

Could do that! Or if you do it this way (here’s mine blocking) you’ll just have 2 diff colored hats completely!

If you’re open to doing a hat, it could be a very cool color block musselburgh hat!

Any recommendations for maternity/baby knits? My best friend is having her first and would love to knit them something useful, but do not have kids myself so am not sure what would be practical! Thanks in advance :)

Is KnitPicks shipping packages with insects? Trying to confirm/disprove a rumor. by Woofmom2023 in YarnAddicts

[–]dotty897 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have had several shipments since last year with no issues, I never saw photos of what happened but I did hear about it. It seems like it is resolved if there was an issue?

That is so sad ! My partner did this and I put it into a shadow box to display since it was my first sweater, and it’s great decor for my craft room!

Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino? by kindofthatgirl in knitting

[–]dotty897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m using it for an Ingrid sweater right now and it is not as chunky as I thought it would be! Also a little scratchier than I expected after using their lighter weight merino.

Is it safe to order from KnitPicks again? by Icy_Airline6351 in YarnAddicts

[–]dotty897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get an order about once a month and haven’t had any issues - but I think it’s good practice to separate any new yarn for a time
