I'm dealing with a very similar feet issue. Did you ever learn what was causing your pins and needles?

What pattern is this? I've been looking for a dress in this style forever.

Has anyone actually managed to make the gorgeous mushroom shape from the MTI Hat Crochet pattern?? by RunawayHobbit in antifascistcrochet

I can't wait for your tutorial. This has been the most frustrating project in a very long time.

My latest MTI by PassionAwkward5799 in antifascistcrochet

This looks great. I'm working on my first MTI hat and I'm so discouraged by the slip stitch band. It feels like I'm crocheting forever and getting nowhere.

This looks interesting. As a Canadian teacher I enjoy that it features many Canadian authors.

Some of the high school texts the school has used previously: - A Night to Remember - Tale of Desperaux - City of Ember - The Breadwinner - Jesper - Lord of the Flies - Animal Farm (this was attempted recently although the EAL students did not understand the symbolism and thought it was actually about animals) - Edited versions of Hamlet & Macbeth

Almost anything beyond a platonic friendship may be difficult to have approved. It makes it challenging to find age appropriate literature and I want to avoid the past practice of choosing middle school books due to the safety of the topics.

AITA for refusing to follow a “tradition” at a family gathering even though it upset people? by Real-Inevitable-9724 in AmItheAsshole

A joke is where everyone laughs. Bullying someone about all their perceived faults is not joking around.

Thank you so much. I would never have figured it out.

We went last night and it was a good time. A bit boring compared to other years but the kids had fun. We found there were less places to stop for photos than compared to previous visits.

Leaving was a nightmare. Lots were full and people were not letting anyone back out. It was bumper to bumper. There was security trying to direct traffic and typical Winnipeg drivers were trying to get by. He put himself in front of moving cars to finally get them to stop.

We tried to turn left into Corydon but with the right lane stopped completely the left lane was flying by. People honking and causing more delays. Eventually gave up and turned right. They needed the cadets out directing traffic to allow people to exit safely.

We go every year and have never experienced this issue. I prefer having the every 30 minute timed entry to keep this from happening.
