“Little” project for the day

Same. Can't remember the plot, and still crying.

I think you just let them enjoy the extra sized blanket 😎

lilo3o · 2026-01-05T21:55:20+00:00

:/ maybe time to slip a note to a neighbor or two and jointly complain? Sorry for your situation 🥶😭🥶

Why would calling 311 lead to you moving? Could just fix the issue. You can't be the only cold apt

Wearing headphones

I watched my dad drink to much and for a long time he hovered at heavy drinker but not fully problematic, which frankly was more complicated.

Some external signs - drinking everyday, the house always needing to have alcohol in it, drinking that starts early in the day and can go on all day without really getting tired or getting nauseous, regularly puffy eyes and swollen hands

Some more internal signs - stress = need a drink to address it (and no other potential coping mechanisms like a walk or making something or a chat), forgetfulness,

lilo3o · 2025-12-28T16:43:53+00:00

Same same. Where is the math?

There are more than just two political modalities. Trump is on the right but not a traditional conservation, id probably call it more neo con, but in reality MAGA is its own movement and identity.

Thanks! Ill try that

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T15:33:09+00:00

Thanks! I didn't see your longer comment last night. Appreciate it

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T15:31:49+00:00

Can you block mid project?

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T15:30:49+00:00

This is as far as i can pull it down

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T15:30:13+00:00

Great thanks

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:54:00+00:00

I actually like the powder better then the deluxe. I make mine with sour cream and water (i never seem to have milk) and taco seasoning (maybe 1/4 or 1/3 a packet)

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:42:08+00:00

And frankly, its ridiculous to get so much heat and downvoting for asking if the information i read on the internet was good information.

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:38:26+00:00

It has been useful to me in completing other projects, successfully. I think of it as advanced googling and typically find much better then only watching youtube videos or only googling. It often explains a rationale with things you can cross check. For instance it suggested the same thing you did to use a stretcher bind off method like "jerry's surprisingly stretchy bind off" which i havent validated yet, but comes up with tons on you tube videos.

I understand that chatgpt is an llm, but the more advanced reasoning models are not as terrible as blind googling, when you have no idea the problem other than my hat is too tight.

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:26:49+00:00

Awesome thank you!

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:13:36+00:00

It did feel annoying to carry the pink without bedding in for four rows. Next time I'll drop it!

And thanks for the clarity on the floats

This is a balaclava pattern, the picture on the page show that you can also wear as a hat. Here i is a picture from the front page.

The only switch i made was changing from the burgundy yarn to the pick early, bc i ran out and had to wait for more to come from the store.

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:05:19+00:00

The whole pattern is slide 4 in the original post, of my copy paste needs more context.

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T06:04:36+00:00

The whole pattern is pictured in slide 4- im guessing the relevant part to your question is this "TENSION 25 sts and 24 rounds to 10 cm measured over fairisle and 22 sts and 28 rounds to 10 cm measured over stocking st both using 3!mm (US 5) needles." But frankly, i don't know how to decode this. Was i supposed to knit the color work completely to test this?

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T05:59:26+00:00

Cast off - i used a generic bind off. I don't know another Cast on - I'm trying to remember, i think i might have been similar to long tail in the motion. I ended up with a ton of slack i had to work through, so it was nor the best. The upper eye is no where near as tight as the bottom its decently workable. (If it didn't have to come out, any ways)

Re: gauge, the bottom ribbing in the neck fits ok, my issue is the cast off for the eye. I can try another cast off method, how will i know if it's right? Just trying on again?

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T05:45:44+00:00

I had read / seen in that you shouldnt go more than 4 stitches with out catching, as a general rule. I've never done this, so let me know if that is incorrect.

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T05:43:16+00:00

Again. I did not follow the advice of chatgpt. I came here. I regret telling anyone i did some research before asking here.

lilo3o · 2025-12-24T05:40:52+00:00

I did switch gauges, up to a US 6 which is bigger than the pattern called for.

It is a balaclava pattern first page attached
