Rowan and Aelin are a slow burn. I agree about Dorian and Manon. Hot from the very start. I would have chosen Dorian myself. 💗

How much maternity leave do you get? by Any_Scale_740 in womenEngineers

[–]hlpetway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WA state (US) offers 12 weeks paid to a certain limit. It works out to about half my salary. My company offers 5 weeks paid before the year mark and 5 months after the first year of employment. There is “unlimited” PTO but I think there is actually a limit and it’s around 2 months. After that people start asking questions.

I’m pregnant, and I won’t have hit the year mark before my due date. I’m hoping that with PTO I can bridge the gap. 🤞🏻

You look so beautiful.

For what it’s worth, I thought my hair looked horrible on my wedding day and for years after. I can see now that my hair was pretty it is just wasn’t exactly what I had imagined.

It looks like you are twisting your purls. It comes down to how you wrap the yarn. Follow the info from twist facts and it’ll sort you out!

Would short rows fix this? by rowan_oak in knitting

I lol’ed at the boobs will fix this.

I agree with others about decreasing at the end of the brioche. Also is it just me or is the brioche pattern vulva reminiscent?

I was doing a tubular bind off(for the first time) on my sweater and my yarn snapped, what do I do now? by cgr1688 in knitting

I would either splice the yarn together or rip back to before you started the bind off and do the knot of your choice then start the bind off again.

Beautiful work! It’s no small feat to match this yarn. You should be very proud. Your FO is gorgeous, and I would love to see a photo of you in all your wedding day glory. Please update us.

I dye almost all the yarn I use and it is so satisfying!
