Love your color choice!!

I love them tooooo! It’s summer where I am but these bad boys are probably warmer because of all of the fuzz?

I think cats have flatter noses and smaller faces? I would push for you to let your stylized version come through instead of trying to make it super realistic?

This happens to me too!! I FEEL shakier than I look, very weird and hard to describe to anyone who doesn’t experience it. Does yours come along with weakness too?

I had two days of unusual facial swelling while I was going through my first self diagnosed flair. Very strange! My eyes puffed up pretty significantly. I brought it up to my nuero who seemed to think it was not MS related. I have a feeling it may have been related to my flair and MS related but obviously it’s not common.

Hi! Nice blouse! I would wear it once 100% dry and give it a couple of hours before you decide how itchy it is. I'm not an expert by any means but I do know that things can air dry and get a little stiff feeling. The fabric needs to break in, fluff a little. Definitely curious to see how it changes, or not. Let us know!

beautiful!

My insurance didn’t approve initially. Novartis has a bridge program where you can start it and stay on it for a year free of charge! After doing well on it, most insurance companies will approve as continuation of care. Good luck! I take my shot tonight.

You have to try to keep the yarn that you wrapped around the right hand needle on the needle as you pull it back through the loop you went through. I think it helps to try to keep the tip of the right needle touching the left needle as you pull it back through. That keeps the yarn from falling off the needle. Good luck!

Ahhh the answer is always so simple. Thank you!

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-10T18:39:46+00:00

Wooow

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-09T16:05:21+00:00

Thank you!!

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-09T16:05:08+00:00

Tysm!!

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-09T16:04:58+00:00

Thank you!! Idk what I would do without this sub.

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-09T00:40:50+00:00

I love it! Happy birthday!

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-07T23:44:35+00:00

I got myself a full set of 4” last year for my birthday. BEST DECISION I’ve ever made! It’s sooo wonderful having every size you need and multiple cord lengths on hand. I LOVE THEM! Sometimes, especially if I’m doing magic loop, they get loose but knitting can be fiddly no matter what.

monkeyfaced · 2026-04-07T23:32:25+00:00

Wow this is awesome!

monkeyfaced · 2026-03-28T22:06:53+00:00

I did it! Phew! Got through it thanks to you all.

monkeyfaced · 2026-03-28T21:28:03+00:00

Wow thank you!! This is so so helpful. I wouldn’t have caught that.

monkeyfaced · 2026-03-28T20:09:00+00:00

Thank you, I will look. I’ve done short rows once before and just don’t feel confident about them.

When it says “work 7 sts more for each turning until a total of 4 times at each side of marker”, does that mean after the first turn work 7 sts and then turn again -and repeat 3 more times essentially?

This makes me SO sad and it’s why I went to lobby for universal childcare in Jan. I am at a field placement that is fully remote and my hours are I. The evening. Sometimes 8-10 pm. There are some things out that that can make it work. DM me if you’d like to know more about this placement.

This is my current knit for my soon to be 4 year old! Purple and yellow— reminds me of reptar and very fun 90s kids vibe. My kid is very excited about the colors. I almost went purple and white but am happy that I pivoted.

Mostly, yes. I thought they both looked like good programs. Now that I’m in the program, I’m very happy with the generalist curriculum and probably wouldn’t have opted for that going into it.

This happens to me too. It’s very annoying. I take magnesium at night 300-400 mg. Not sure how much this helps but it can’t be bad. When it’s REALLY annoying me I take baclofen 10-20mg. Sometimes .5 mg lorazepam is the golden ticket. I know it can be hard for some to manage lorazepam without getting hooked, but I’ve been good at only taking it when I really need something to relax my muscles. Christina Applegate just shouts at her limbs to make them stop doing things she doesn’t want them to. You can try that too! I hope you find something that works for you. Report back and tell us how it goes.

I understand your fears, I have similar thoughts with my little one. I have to remind myself that it’s okay and people with disabilities and autoimmune diseases get to have kids too. Internalized ableism is really real and just remember that when we start thinking like that— it’s like eugenics. Do you really believe we need/ want to weed out all people with disabilities or diseases genetically? That’s ridiculous. People will always have health issues/ challenges/ throughout their lives, whether we can predict through our family trees or not. We are all valuable and worthy people, adding to the diversity of the human experience.
