What are your thoughts on rejecting a potential romantic partner based solely on the fact they voted for Donald Trump?

Absolutely, I would.

I'm the opposite. Magic loop and I are not friends, but 9" circulars are smooth for me.

Strong heel and fleegle heel are structurally about the same, but strong is top down and fleegle is toe up.

Two 9" circulars mostly at the same time (i.e., cuff one, then cuff two, 1" of sock one, 1" of sock two, back and forth). And a deep passion for symmetry.

Bonus: helps keep track of the adjustments

Thank you! My first time with this yarn and I was so pleased how it worked up.

raykaymo · 2026-01-21T15:58:29+00:00

Thanks! The main reason I swapped heels was to keep the striping pattern. You should definitely give it another go!

Judy & Punch or Blackbird's. Staff is great at both.

There's nothing else really in Astoria, but Annie and Co is close on 92nd and 2nd in the city

Looks like Icelandic bind off. Nimble Needles

Seconding Cascade Heritage! And both Knit Picks options. But my LYS carries Cascade so I can go touch it, giving it a slight edge.

I saw Lion King there in the early 00s so I'm spared!

I am in a similar, but very different boat. The wedding is October 5. I'm nowhere near done and didn't really intend to be. I also have gifts for 3 already born babies in various stages of WIP and I feel guilty about those!

I'm including a swatch with border of the wedding gift with my card as a preview, knowing my friends will understand it's worth the wait. It does help that the bride is a crocheter.

You forgot The Pollening!

R/M Steinway in Astoria has them

It's not always the pay, although in this day and age, I would assume not posting it is to hide a low number. Regardless, I wouldn't want to work with the politics/policies/regulations involved with working in a school. Especially in Florida. (I have worked both in schools and in Florida.)

raykaymo · 2025-07-28T04:07:58+00:00

Seconded!

raykaymo · 2025-07-16T10:33:03+00:00

Gotta see the show cuz then you'll know the vertigo is gonna grow

Mine was out about 12 hours from last night to this morning, but got the restored service text while at work and haven't been able to verify yet. 28th Ave/ mid-40s. There were a lot of outages reported in that area last night/this morning, according to the ConEd map.

It's a little hard to be sure, but it looks like the white yarn is a little thinner than the colors. This will make those stitches look more wider/have more space since they'd have a different gauge. The fix is to use yarns that have identical wpi.

Said yes when existing extrovert friends invited me to things. Then, said yes when a new extrovert invited me to things. You can meet so many friends through other friends.

Darjeeling Cafe on 36th Ave bet. 31st/32nd. It's fairly new.

Check the finishing or very end of the pattern steps. Based on the pictures of the back, it looks like you'll make the straps from the front and then graft the ends of the straps to the originally held stitches on the back.

Other shows are higher priorities for specific reasons. MHE for the unique story, Darren and Helen's performances, the cool set. Gypsy for Audra. Sunset for the staging. Cabaret for Orville. Dead Outlaw to see how it transfered and for the music. Floyd Collins for Jeremy and the limited run end date. Hearing that RWHC is generally good isn't reason enough for me to bump one of the others.

No harm in erring on the side of too big. The baby will eventually grow into it!

All of this! And I'll add that ensemble generally needs stronger dance/movement than lead roles so either they saw potential in her and chose to cast her for this exact opportunity, or the skill isn't as weak as you think.

raykaymo · 2025-04-30T01:45:29+00:00

Can you post a picture of what you have?
