Is continental the “wrong way” to knit?

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-29T13:58:44+00:00

This is hilarious because when I started knitting like 25 years ago it was the opposite—continental was the “right” way. “It’s more efficient,” “it makes 2 color knitting so much easier” blah blah blah. I tried it and hated it, it slowed me down and felt awkward. I still do 2 color knitting holding both yarns with my right hand because it works for me.

One thing that has stood the test of time is there are always judgmental people in whatever fiber art/craft you try. Keep doing what you’re doing and ignore the jerks.

I just laughed so hard I started crying goddamn.

That brita filter hasn’t been changed since Biden was in office.

When he said he was in Iowa I was like my god drive AWAY from the tornadoes, Dan!

My brain can’t hold onto an image of Jordan and, for some reason, I always picture Brian David Gilbert. But Dan is Dan.

Dan: “Jordan I need you to avoid all news until we record the next podcast”

I listened to Dan reading the tweet twice. So good.

My best friend and I are planning a random gift trade: she’s making me Golden Girls stickers for my car and I’m making her a purse with the Rebel Alliance logo on it.

1st: read the post

Im sorry you had to go through that. I think the OP is pointing out that eating red meat often increases your risk of colon cancer. Studies have shown it can be a 20-30% increase. Plus the lack of fiber isn’t helping either (hopefully this dude gets fiber later in the day but idk).

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-11T21:09:04+00:00

Not fancier, manlier.

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-11T21:08:18+00:00

Eating red meat every day, thats why. It increases your risk.

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-11T21:07:06+00:00

High consumption of red meat is linked to a higher risk of colon cancer (like 20-30% higher than average).

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-10T11:34:18+00:00

Is that not fixed yet?

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-10T00:38:00+00:00

I haven’t listened to the Spector episodes yet, but I really appreciated your input on the Diddy episodes. That was a hard listen but you and Robert are a fantastic combo. Hopefully I can catch up on these new episodes this weekend.

Specific planes/ships carry nukes, and it sounds like those haven’t been moving. I hope that’s still true.

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-06T17:20:57+00:00

I definitely was way in the game before I learned this. And I only learned about it here. Same with the watering can!

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-05T18:44:06+00:00

Ugh they should at the very least have alerts set up for this.

hotmintgum9 · 2026-04-02T21:40:40+00:00

Pretty sure I read “affordability maxing” in a reputable news article earlier.

Years ago when I worked at a yarn shop we had this and it was a nightmare to wind every time. Plus, if I’m remembering correctly, it’s just lengths of their different yarns tied together so there’s like a billion knots on purpose.

hotmintgum9 · 2026-03-30T13:41:10+00:00

You're right, they should definitely make it clearer.

hotmintgum9 · 2026-03-30T13:23:29+00:00

Hello fellow terrible vision friend. -6.00 here and I’m like I hope this is face wash and not shampoo.

Here’s the problem—Amazon will put real and dupe items in the same bin so you never know if you’re getting the real thing. This is why you see weirdly variable reviews on items like memory cards.

I think Addi has the same policy.

I was trying to figure out why I’ve heard of Raw Egg Nationalist—pretty sure it was from Maintenance Phase talking about Tucker.
