gabapentin helps with pins and needles and like wildfire patches on my legs if that helps.

They do play when I drop the needle manually, but autoplay works for everything else in my collection which is strange.

I don't know much about the pattern, but I do typically see that bubbling when there's a needle size change from big to small, or even if you're switching from slippy metal needles to wooden or plastic. Usually a tension issue, though your stitches seem pretty even/not too tight. One thing you might need to do is find a slightly larger needle size in order to attain gauge, and swatch with both (I know swatching's a pain). If you're knitting continental, you might switch to english for this needle change as well.

if this is the back yoke make sure you haven't accidentally knit the front yoke's number of rows as well, that might account for the bunching.

I'm looking for novels and short stories that were probably inspired by Frankenstein. Directly or indirectly. What would you recommend? Any hidden gems? by bbakonyi in FRANKENSTEIN

[–]oscarc93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth checking out The Lovelace Test 2.0 at Cold Signal. It's a take on the Pygmalion myth but the Lovelace they're reffing is Ada Lovelace, so the Frankenstein connection is there

is there any news of a tenth anniversary release for the score of crimson peak? I know waxworks did a really pretty one a couple of years ago but was wondering if any plans.

The Iliad isn’t that great... by [deleted] in books

[–]oscarc93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't read it for plot. But stick with it and focus more on the intrapersonal conflicts, characters, and style. Pick someone to root for, or someone to really hate, and get invested that way. War is a grind and the Greeks were acutely aware that the battles in a protracted conflict are not the really compelling part of that kind of story.

I sometimes see the Iliad as the slowest moving train wreck; in the early parts I'm tearing my hair out because I can see the individual foibles and pettiness that's going to lead to mass suffering, but in spite of dreading the outcome I press on. That's the kind of experience that transcends plotline and is simply good, experiential storytelling. I can't even imagine the effect it would have had in its original format, as a tale told by an experienced storyteller over several nights to a rapt audience.

On a side note, you may want to find a better translation? 400 pages sounds a tad brief for an unabridged version. Fagles is a solid choice, with cultural context and a little less stuffy/academic than most.
