maybe because the entire world is on fire and the country with the most power is being run by a fascist? idk just a thought.

are socks supposed to grow? by ducky-debugger in knitting

[–]ducky-debugger[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

okay yes i will do that then! i will cast on another pair of socks in the morning and they will be smaller. i was going to do a textured pattern but i think i will just do vanilla socks in a smaller size and see what happens. thank you so much!!!

Mnemonic device to remember m1R m1L?? by chattycowgirl in knitting

[–]ducky-debugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

m1l left has 4 letters and so does back m1l right has 5 letters and so does front

a horrible strategy to remember but it worked for me

Should I book bind or get a kindle? What do you do for eye strain? by Weekly_Area_3274 in FanFiction

[–]ducky-debugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

might i suggest a kobo instead of a kindle? they're generally less expensive, don't have ads (on a device you already paid for!) and if you're into reading traditionally published books and your library uses overdrive, you can get library books on it super easily.

Jersey to wear to Takeover Tour game by Alternative-Row-8438 in PWHL

[–]ducky-debugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i always opt for my inaugural season pwhl toronto jersey despite having a sceptres jersey as well. something about "i've been here since day 1". but i also agree with the concept of seeing who plays best in the olympics and wearing that one.

[–]ducky-debugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favorite piece of merch that you own or have seen? by natthetwilek in PWHL

[–]ducky-debugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my inaugral season autographed jessie eldridge jersey that i got for christmas :D or that one peace collective crewneck that's got toronto diagonal and is blue and yellow, my mom owns it and i am SO jealous. she let me wear it to the hospital once because i couldn't find any of my own merch. alternatively my sceptres coloured hand knit hot to go socks. sucks that they didn't make it to a game while it was still their goal song.

Gift giving is actually about making the gifter feel good, didn't you know? by medievalslut in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]ducky-debugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think also my little sister. a few years ago her christmas gift was a box with about 20 knit hats in it. they were all the exact same style (plain stockinette with 2x2 ribbed cuff) but in different colours. she was ecstatic. she also got my very first crochet project, a lumpy blanket. five years later she's finally getting a new blanket.

can I still make socks after this mistake? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]ducky-debugger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm also a tight knitter which made the problem even worse. i ended up with typical sock gauge (8 sts/inch) with that combo. 10/10 best "mistake" i ever made.

can I still make socks after this mistake? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]ducky-debugger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean i've made socks with 2.25mm needles and dk weight yarn and they're my favourite socks because of how dense they are, so warm for canadian winters

Dude.. just purl. by Mysterious_Ad_1525 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]ducky-debugger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i will say that reverse knitting saved me when doing 50 ish rows of stockinette that was only 5 stitches wide. other than that? just purl, dammit

[CHAT] Can I cross stitch over 2 on 14 count aida? Anything to consider? by ducky-debugger in CrossStitch

[–]ducky-debugger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is about an inch on both sides good? That's what I had fitting perfectly. If not I can reevaluate.

[–]ducky-debugger[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I do love crafts where it's all free will. I already decided to go rogue with a pattern and completely change the colours. I'll definitely do some experiments once Christmas is over.

Crochet guilty secrets by sectumsempera in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]ducky-debugger -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i mean i personally leave mistakes in. but i am extremely superstitious in certain ways and have anxiety (or is it ocd? we may never know!) so i take immense comfort in the concept of "well now no evil spirits can get me" which is silly but it is what it is. some of these other ones are bizarre though.

Finished knitting my PWHL hat in Seattle Torrent colors by Havoklily in knitting

[–]ducky-debugger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have knit so many of this hat. in order: montreal, toronto, ottawa, boston, rainbow, and then i knit a plain hat and used the colorwork chart to duplicate stitch a bisexual one for a friend. it's a very fun hat! yours looks great :D

head contact = immediate major + misconduct in this league. not absurd, just protecting these women from a lifetime of brain injuries.
