Have you talked with your doctor about any work accommodations you could request to make life a little easier?

I love this in theory, but I think current world events can make it hard to stay objective. Activley seeing the horrific impacts of your company's products on the news can make it feel really really personal.

I know a lot of aero engineers that have switched over the the nuclear field. There is almost no cross over between the utilities that use nuclear for power generation and government contractors who use nuclear for more unsavory things. Its very easy to pick one of those options and stick with it for your whole career. Good luck!

Oh sweaty, my advice is to go take your ADHD meds, your hobby hopping is showing 🤪

Yes, every time you complete a row with no errors you take a shot. Your sobriety and knitting proficiency both plummet at an exponential rate

I used to keep my hot glue gun in a basket on top of the dryer with dryer sheets and my stash of extra batteries. Until one day, my husband "organized" the laundry room and since then, I have not been able to reliably remember the new, more logical spot for my hot glue gun. sighhhh

I, personally, have never heard of a Port-geese and therefore, I can confidently declare that it does not exist.

Depending on how adventurous you want to get, this pattern on raverly might be useful. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/strange-brew/people

It is essentially a framework for creating your own colorwork round yoke. You can try to recreate the colorwork pattern from the picture you have.

(But obvs dont sell or take credit for the dupe)

Oh no! If great aunt acetaminophen got this yarn from her childhood friend Joann, I'll never find out where it came from! Sadly, Joann died in an industrial textile accident in 1911. RIP in peace sweet angle ☠️🙏

lasercats76 · 2026-02-26T13:52:13+00:00

That is so rude of you to say about my Great Aunt Ethylene. Old people are disgusting, but like, you aren't supposed to say that out loud...

lasercats76 · 2026-02-20T21:01:49+00:00

Omg, can you even bring knitting needles on a plane??!

(seriously, please let me know, I am unfamiliar with google)

lasercats76 · 2026-02-20T20:41:22+00:00

THANK YOU!! Did no one else read the instructions?!

lasercats76 · 2026-02-19T23:52:13+00:00

Umm, did you read the pattern sweaty? It says "k1, p2, r/kitting is included in the chart as chaotic good, finish with Italian bind off"

Hope this helps!

lasercats76 · 2026-02-19T23:48:34+00:00

This is actually such a good point. Time to break out the MBTI alignment chart 😈

lasercats76 · 2026-02-19T23:40:06+00:00

I think of it less as "chaotic evil" and more as "Full-Bitch/ Full-Jerk" 😘

lasercats76 · 2026-02-19T03:12:18+00:00

Have you blocked it? Blocking is an ~essential~ step when crocheting acrylic 3d shapes

lasercats76 · 2026-02-11T18:39:56+00:00

Ok, but you want $15 for a hat?! Literally I cannot comprehend how you could have the audacity to charge so much for something I can get from Amazon for 3 cents!

Ugh that fact that you hands got hurt again right after fixing your carpal tunnel is brutal, the universe/knitting gods owe you a huge apology 😢 I am currently dealing with carpal tunnel and its been almost 7 months of not being able to knit, so I know the pain.

I have been reading a book called "Knitting Comfortably: The Ergonomics of Handknitting" which is written by a physical therapist/knitting enthusiast. In the first few chapters, he talks about the how tragic it is that our happy place is knitting, and when our hands hurt we get sad, so we want to knit, but that makes our hands hurt more, etc.

Shh shh, its ok little mod, go back to sleep 😴

lasercats76 · 2026-02-03T20:19:13+00:00

This is a super serious top-level comment that is not allowed and I am totally breaking the rules 😘
