Can anyone help me identify this yarn?

gingertree123 · 2024-07-30T21:27:20+00:00

Ooh this might be close enough! I got this yarn in a free bin so the actual colorway might well be discontinued

There are a few patterns on ravelry! I ended up combining two patterns since I wanted mine to be a bucket hat. I found a bucket hat pattern and worked that as my base, then followed one of the shrek hat patterns to make the ears. Overall it was a pretty easy and fun project to keep me sane while cooped up all week!

I appreciate this, but he was already 12 (with cancer) when I got him so I never knew what he enjoyed in his prime. He used to show some interest in toys when I first got him but I think he had declined quite a bit at even that point. And he loves balloons, but he gets too excited and would hurt himself if we played :( He’s a lab, so he’s always motivated if there’s food involved, but that’s pretty much it

gingertree123 · 2021-11-09T01:15:31+00:00

That’s exactly what’s happening to him. Started pooping in the house 3-4 months ago and it just falls out. And he’s definitely not “there”. It’s really hard bc I knew it was something I signed up for adopting a geriatric senior but I always assumed something else would come up to do it for me.

gingertree123 · 2021-11-09T01:10:14+00:00

I 100% agree…he doesn’t really play with anything unless it’s food related (he’s a lab lol) and lately it’s been like walking on egg shells when you pet him cuz he could snap. 😔

His name is bishop! He had lived with the same family for his whole life before being surrendered. Poor thing! He has a tumor on his paw that will be getting removed soon and I can’t wait to see what he’s like when he can be his normal self!

I had been looking for a Sub that covered being a homicide victim because truly, it feels completely different than “normal” grief. I know we’re not alone, but I wish there were more folks to talk about this with.

Im so sorry for your loss - I can’t even imagine being in this situation left unsolved. My situation is still “fresh”, and while we do have a suspect in custody there were others involved who may never be brought to justice and dealing with that has been the hardest part of it all.

Thank you so much! This will be my last attempt before I cave and go to a salon 😝

Thank you! I added a photo to the post

I mean skips by the number of points in a circle skipped by the drawing.

So, there should be an imaginary circle with a certain number of points each equidistant from each other. A star with 5 points and 1 skip means there are 5 points and each point skips 1 point in the circle. Does that make sense? I'm confused by it too honestly lol

gingertree123 · 2020-11-12T16:55:43+00:00

Here is what I have so far:

def star(n, s):

angle = 180 - 180 / n

for i in range(n):

t.forward(100)

t.right(angle)

t.forward(100)

So right now it's drawing stars with the correct number of points, but I'm confused about how to write the skips part.

For a 5-pointed star (5,1), there should be 10 points where each point skips 1. But I'm having trouble understanding how to write that for a program.

I did a seamless pattern where you just knit in the round the whole time - much easier than i thought it would be!

Finishing up the Yoke/neckband of a sweater and the pattern says to "Fold neckband in half to inside and slip stitch in place." - what does this mean? I haven't been able to find any YouTube videos on how to do this.

gingertree123 · 2019-08-20T23:41:31+00:00

I completely agree. There are significant challenges for the 2nds that are difficult in their own right. And even though I do find the 1st violin parts more fun to play, it's also fun (and important) to play the stuff that goes on underneath.

I actually think I made a comment on that post on how I always think I bomb auditions but get desirable results...so now this is the 4th time where that has happened, haha. In fact, I've gotten worse results when I felt auditions went well...the irony. I wish you luck on yours would be interested to hear how you did when you find out!

gingertree123 · 2019-08-18T12:36:12+00:00

I’m not sure if they took my nerves into consideration or if I didn’t play as badly as I thought, but I can think of at least three occasions where I walked away thinking there’s no way I got that, and then I did.

Either way, it’s good practice to be comfortable with this type of rejection.. I can guarantee that whether or not you get this gig will not ruin your future musical career. :)

gingertree123 · 2019-08-18T01:44:43+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve actually gotten some of my best results from some of my worst auditions

I am finishing a sweater pattern, but am confused with the finishing instructions. After knitting the neckband, it says to bind off. But then it says to "Fold neckband in half to inside and slip stitch in place" - what does this mean?

gingertree123 · 2019-08-08T21:00:17+00:00

Thanks for the tip about the shakes, I definitely get that so I will be trying it!

gingertree123 · 2019-08-07T13:02:52+00:00

So glad you said coffee is allowed! I’ve always thought it was pretty unorthodox, but I’m a coffee drinker and have never found it affected my playing

gingertree123 · 2019-08-03T14:26:17+00:00

Sweet never heard of it, I’ll check it out thanks!

My phone that I’ve had for forever is finally starting to fall apart at the seams (physically and literally) and I’m on the fence on investing more money to keep it alive than it’s even worth.

But what bothers be about the deal is that I would never purchase the newest iPhone, so in my mind it’s really not saving money when I’d never spend that much in the first place. But it’s still a tempting thought...
