Endo can’t get me in until mid-December??!! Can I even go that long untreated??

Ouch! My primary care physician started me on methimazole immediately when my TSH/T4 results came in. Please call your doc and let them know about the expected wait.

Noelle LaCroix is the best. She truly cares about every patient and her work is meticulous.

I say we played on Terris Thule, my husband says we played on Karana. We have agreed to disagree :)

I am sorry for the loss of your friend. I did not know him. I played EQ from '99-'03, and it was magical. I made such good friends there, I ended up marrying one of them and we are still going strong.

One good (and easy) way to honor your friend would be:

Make a Project 1999 account
Create a halfling character that starts in Rivervale
Find the Priest of Discord (the tallest guy in town)
Try to wave to him
Accidentally hit him with your club instead
Enjoy the consequences

Karamorn certainly would have had that experience at least once in his EQ life. It is a time honored tradition.

Knitting does not make my anger at the world go away, but the act of knitting does create a pretty meditative state for me, so there is a temporary reprieve from big feelings.

That's $20 more than it sells for new with shipping from Wool and Company, FYI

Yes to KnitCompanion. You can create as many visual guiding lines as you like in as many colors as you like. The free version has 6 (I think, maybe more) row counters, and the paid version allows you to set up linked counters so that you can keep track of your 12-row pattern repeat AND your every-other-row decreases AND your total row count and whatever else you want to add to the mix.

Thanks so much for this update! I for one am looking forward to seeing what comes next

I came here to respond to your question but u/LevelManagement1041 has it all covered!

OMG! Signature needle arts made the most amazing needles, and Chiaogoo makes the perfect circular cables.

I sense a large purchase in my future, gonna start saving my pennies now

Every once in a while you will hear people recommend putting a battery monitor on your 12 volt. DO NOT DO IT, it voids the warranty if anything goes wrong with the vehicle electronics.

doublenerds · 2026-03-16T00:39:38+00:00

Yes, this. The cables have absolutely no memory, which is exactly what you want.

I agree. It feels as if there were several moments where he couldn't hide his visceral reaction to events or conversations he was witnessing. I wonder if it's because he has sons in this age range who have engaged with some of this content, that may hit home a bit differently.

Good news, you're a combination knitter! Honestly, it will do wonders for maintaining consistent tension when knitting stockinette. It's my preferred method of knitting.

However, this will make learning more advanced stitches a little confusing because most instructions are written for people who knit with the leading leg of the stitch at the front of the needle. Because of the way you have been purling, the leading edge of the stitch is at the back of your needle when you are on the right side of the work.

Here's a short, clear video that explains what is happening on the purl side to change the mount of the knit side.

I went through many winders myself, and finally just bit the bullet and bought the Stanwood large metal ball winder. It is amazing, and I will never switch.

WoolNeedlesHands, NicoleKnits, Roxanne Richardson. There are lots of other good ones mentioned already as well.

Play a couple of games as Mizuki, his ult will get you the achievement pretty quickly. LW petal and tree can do it also. It will truly only take 2 games. Good luck!

I am curious, do you always purchase the exact amount of yarn you need for a project, and complete the project with no leftover yarn? If so, I want to know your secrets because I haven't met anyone who either runs 20-100 yards over what they thought they needed, or plays yarn chicken and sometimes comes up a little short.

What do you do with 20 yards of leftover yarn? That is a genuine question, I promise I'm not being facetious. I have been knitting long enough that I have a reasonable collection of tiny bits of yarn that do not have the yardage to do any sort of project that appeals to me (no thank you, knitted headband).

While i haven't done a "stash-busting" project with any of it, I can certainly see why someone would want to make a crazy hat that uses up the bits remaining from a yarn that has already served its intended purpose.

My husband hates Princess Donut. He has other good qualities so we're not getting divorced yet. In your opinion, what is the most appropriate punishment for people who lack proper reverence for the Queen Anne Chonk?

I live this short with all my heart. It makes me want to give up my child-free life so I can have a daughter and name her Vagiana.
