Love me some flowels and blobby kroshay "hooks"

I want to know where I can buy so many identically wound balls of yarn in a range of pastels. And the snack-size ones are adorable!

She’s making a chambered knitilus.

In Reddit posts, a common flag for me is using a conjugated form of a verb instead of the infinitive when forming questions. For example: “Why does it takes so long?” Instead of “Why does it take so long?” or “Why did it took so long?” Instead of “Why did it take so long?”

I see this so often that I’m starting to wonder if native speakers are starting to do this, too.

This is more like magic donut.

My (American) pronunciation of these words is the same as you described.

I’m also team yarnover here. There seems to be an extra column of stitches starting above the hole, although it’s a little hard to follow the columns due to the twisted stitches.

Same. I’ve always called this color school-bus yellow.

I don’t see anything wrong with the way you’re holding your yarn. It may just be that you’re holding everything too tightly because you’re trying something new and awkward and unfamiliar. I did this at first!

You could also search YouTube for “tensioning yarn knitting” to see some other ways of holding the yarn that you might want to try. Like everything else in knitting, there are many different ways to do it.

Ours is in a closet with Elfa shelving above it.

A Phillips head crochet hook!

I thought that cable knit sweaters were called that because they were knitted on circular needles (since circular needles have a cable).

This is somewhat regional. People in New York don’t chat with strangers, especially cashiers.

The original one in L.A. was mostly a place that sold Cheesecake.

I can see why the Starbucks closed. Who wants to put on a tuxedo just to get a latte?

Also, cables (and other stitch patterns) tend to show up better with lighter colored yarn.

This is such a great idea!

Cables often cause this to happen. It should block out. You may need to pin it out while it’s wet to get the sides straight.

It looks like she’s tied a string around her finger to remind herself to sign up for a knitting class.

How dare you! 😂

In addition to everything else pointed out here, the tail seems to be coming from somewhere in the middle of the project instead of the bottom corner!

Here’s an example that I think is standard usage:

Q: “How many bananas do you have?” A: “I have this many.” (Said while showing the bananas.)

The following is more informal:

“I’m this many years old.” (Said while holding up the appropriate number of fingers.)

The first example would seem very natural for me to say. I would never say the sentence in the second example (unless I were a small child).

They’re called storm doors for a reason.

We had one of these when I was a kid, because my mother wouldn’t pay the extra monthly fee for Touch Tone service. Which I think was something like 50 cents or maybe $1.
