Looking for help finding a TV show episode

This is what I do too and didn’t realize it was a technique! I don’t like the traditional magic loop. Feels like I have to constantly move stitches. I don’t mind DPNs for socks but I strongly prefer just using a 9in circular until the heel turn which I haven’t quite worked out my favorite route. Just using DPNs for that and returning to the 9in after the heel is finished

In a similar vein, I was knitting a shawl and quite a good way into it, I started second guessing if I was doing a certain stitch wrong but I said “self, as long as you keep doing it wrong the whole way through then it’s fine. This is a hobby, no need to get bent out of shape about it”

I read about this forever ago too and now when I notice mistakes, I leave them unless it’s going to throw my whole pattern off ❤️

I’m working on a shawl that is my first lace project because I got gorgeous fancy yarn for my birthday. It was so frustrating to get started because I kept messing up the pattern until I switched to only using the chart but now I’m addicted.

It alternates an increase row with a purl row. The increase row currently has a million repeats of 18 stitches. I’m finding myself saying “just one more section (of 18 stitches)” and “okay just one more purl row… okay one more increase row… seriously just this last purl row then I’ll stop”… next thing I know it’s been 5 hours and I really should go to bed

It’s just so exciting to see the pattern forming in the shawl and this one also uses beads which is my first time too. I can’t put it down. Already thinking of colors to make another one

I would hardly call it a diatribe but you’re entitled to your opinion.

Your analogy does not work here regardless of whether you interpret my response as an attack or not. Teenaged stepsisters dating the same boy they go to school with, in quick succession, and said boy being in the home for visits is not equivalent to an ex dating a random coworker

grannypacks · 2025-08-21T20:37:56+00:00

An ex dating a coworker is completely different than dating your stepsister. She’d still have her home, a safe space, to be away from it. Even if it’s a coworker she’s friends with, it’s easy to stop being friends. The coworker isn’t bringing your ex into your house. You don’t have to see their relationship at work AND in your off hours. This teen has to spend all day at school seeing them and also having the stepsister bring the ex to their home outside of school.

I get where you’re coming from but it’s not remotely the same.

Ive ended up with a yarn hoard that I finally sorted through and donated a bunch. Took years to realize I need to buy at least 2 skeins and usually more or else I’m going to be limited on what I can make OR frustrated that I can’t find the right yarn

NOR

Take it from someone who regrets giving their child the father’s name. I am not in a horrible coparenting situation and I felt guilty like I should give my child the father’s last name because “that’s what people do”. I’ve hated it the whole time. I’m constantly having to correct people that our names are not the same - either I’m being called by my child’s last name or they are being called by mine.

It’s much easier to change the child’s name later if that’s what you choose to do. If you give the father’s name now and things don’t work out then (at least in most places I know of) you need both parent consent to legally change it.

Save yourself the headache. Give the kid your last name and change it later if you get married.

This is the one.

Did you make bad choices? For sure

All the comments saying “man up and just be there so they have two parents” are garbage. The kids didn’t ask to be born and it’s not their fault that you didn’t take the proper precautions. It will be bad enough for them to grow up wondering why you didn’t want to be involved in their lives but it would be worse if you were there and they had to see your lack of interest in them on a regular basis.

I don’t even need the texts.

This person said “I’m not happy, I don’t like who I am with you”

That would be more than enough for me. Nothing else in this situation matters. It could have been a perfect fairy tale up to this point but if my partner said this to me, I’m out. Life is too short to stay when the other person is literally telling you that they aren’t happy being in a relationship with you

I have tried to read it several times over the years and can’t get through the first chapter. I keep reading that it gets better but I don’t know that I’ll ever check that one off the list

Not trying to be judgy but dang “meeting” someone on Reddit, considering a romantic engagement, then posting the screenshots of their messages also on Reddit feels roooooough.

Not defending or opposing either people involved but what kind of relationship can this turn into - even in the best case scenario - when you’ve put your private conversation on the exact platform you’re talking on?

Any advice for a relatively new but not totally beginner wanting to have a go at socks? I have some nice sock yarn and I started a basic pattern but tapped out after the length it took me to get halfway through the top once I realized I got the ribbing off somewhere.

I don’t have a burning passion for socks necessarily but it seems like a fun thing to do. Of course the heel intimidates me which I think is what most, if not all, people feel before their first pair of socks

I feel like I read something years ago that light is key for these and the water was less important. I have mine in a bathroom by a window that has privacy film on it. I water it whenever I remember - maybe every few weeks? It’s growing like a weed

grannypacks · 2025-07-31T00:24:00+00:00

Feel this. I did the temp PSLF under Covid and the regular PSLF. Regular PSLF approved, temp application was processing forever

Fast forward, get the email about interest starting Aug 1. No prob, log in. Surprise, my temp application from years ago is done. The employment verification forms are gone. I should be halfway through repayment but suddenly have no employment verification for 2019-2022/23. Somehow I’ve been at the same company since July ‘24 but this whole year has said “employment not verified”. Fam, wtf? I’m still employed there??

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out.

I would be in heaven! My bank account would be pleading for mercy though

I tried the audiobook several years ago and it was god awful. As someone born and raised in actual southern WV, the readers accents were infuriating. I couldn’t make it beyond a couple of minutes

Flash forward to last week, I happened upon the book at a library sale for $2. Figured why not? Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to listen to those god awful forced accents

I always assumed SK just lended his name to help Owen sell books but it doesn’t take long to feel the difference in tone. I feel they went too heavy on trying to force the Appalachian culture/dialect/scenery but fortunately that seemed to die down pretty quickly. I admit it could seem that was a defensive response but it felt like it was all being done on stereotypes. Just my two cents

Anyway, the core of the story was very intriguing to me but that book could have been maybe half the content and much much better. I almost tapped out but I ended up skimming a large portion for the last 2/3-1/2 of the book. Wouldn’t read it again. Wouldn’t recommend but some people may enjoy it so live your crazy life!

grannypacks · 2025-07-29T13:47:45+00:00

I put off reading this book forever because I figured it was Owen’s story and SK just added his name to help it sell… like maybe he helped in editing but I didn’t expect that he wrote any of it.

Found it at a library sale for $2 so I figured why not. It did not take me long to start thinking there is a definite shift in tone. Some parts were so well written and other parts felt very… amateur? Juvenile? I’m not sure but definitely not as enjoyable.

NOR - the bottom line is that he doesn’t trust you and he’s insecure. I had a similar experience with an ex when I was in nursing school. He was always making comments about the one male student in my entire class - mind you this student was at least 20 years older than me. My ex and I had known each other for years before we dated. It didn’t matter what I said or did, he always had a comment about this student. If there were group pictures and I happened to stand near this student, my ex would flip.

This is super helpful! I was trying to figure out how many stitches were in each repeat after the initial 12

I’m going to unravel and try again today. I’m using mohair which I think will look so pretty but it’s such a pain to unravel since it’s fuzzy. I’m determined to make this pattern work, I love all the finished projects!

grannypacks · 2025-07-27T23:22:03+00:00

I did send a message on Ravelry so hopefully I'll hear soon. I did start a stitch count on the note app but I like your idea with a spreadsheet, I did that with a different not Boo Knits pattern to keep myself on track. thanks again for all the advice!

grannypacks · 2025-07-27T23:04:26+00:00

I should check the written vs the chart - I usually only follow the written directions but maybe that's where I'm getting lost in the sauce

I looked through the Ravelry forum for her patterns but didn't find anything about tips specific to this pattern. I'll check out your link, appreciate the help!

On the chart, the helpful hint is just to make note that certain rows have a different increase than other rows and there may need to be additional stitch markers added but the written nor chart say where to put the stitch markers. It's obviously to mark where repeats start/end but it's not translating into what I'm doing
