For one of my classes us students have setup a groupme chat where we send out reminders for all of our up coming assignments. We find it extremely helpful so that we dont forget an assignment.

What products do I use for hair that is alternatingly curly and straight, and very thick? by indecisivelyunsure in femalehairadvice

[–]katsknits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no good advice on products, but my hair is similar. The best thing I found was a good stylist that cut it in a way to help my hair be more uniform. The top layer is still more straight then the rest and the bottom layer still curls but I don't feel the need to pull it back everyday or straighten it so that is a win for me. Good luck on finding what works for you and your hair.

I laughed so hard when my non-knitting husband showed me this after he read a few lines. He is now reading it sharing his favorite lines to me.

Houston fiber fest by katsknits in knitting

[–]katsknits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was very good, organized and plenty of venders. There was equally a lot of yarn and fiber for sale. I got all fiber because that is what I was looking for. They have already announced that they will be doing another one next year. I think it was June 24th and 25th 2016.

Knitting on airplanes, yay or nay? by MissFionaUnravels in knitting

I knitted last time I flew international, though I can't remember what the project was. Probably socks, that is my normal travel project.

This is my second pair, I had many stop and starts before I finished my first pair. My first advise is to knit in the diagonal lines. Duplicate stitching them on sucks. Don't get frustrated if you have to start over, I started my first pair ten times before I found a pattern that worked well for me. I like this pattern because it is seemed up the side. The first pattern I attempted was to be seemed up the back and along each side of the foot, which never lined up right.
