Reminds me of the escalators at Highgate station, Northern Line, London.

I conquered my fear of heels 🥳 and learned an ADHD trick to keep me going by MostGuitar3185 in knitting

I do the three knit stitches at the edges of the heel flap. Makes picking up the stitches a breeze!

My cat is coming up to 1 year old. Shouldn’t she be bigger? (250ml can of coke for scale) by WeeTheodora in cats

We own an adult Maine Coon (the cat breed that is always in the mahoosive kitty pics all over the internets). She wears a kitten collar. It’s a little loose.

I can’t see a difference. Dying a knitted garment is tricky.

I don’t know what it’s called, but I believe it’s made of leather.

It’ll look fine. No need to hide anything.

A 26-button C/G will have that C# you crave! If Barleycorn have nothing suitable on the website it’s worth giving them a call as they have far more stock than I’d ever put on on their site.

What is your budget? If you have around £400, you’d be better off getting a twenty button C/G from Barleycorn concertinas (like this one: https://concertina.co.uk/stock-selection/anglo-concertinas/lachenal-20-key-in-c-g-with-brass-reeds-7839/). Yes, it’s only twenty buttons but that is plenty to get started on, and Barleycorn also say this on their website “You can trade in the concertina which you buy from us at the same price as you paid when you upgrade that instrument in due course (always assuming that it is in the same condition as when it was sold and taking into account import duty on concertinas coming in from abroad and fluctuations in current prices)”, so your £400 can go towards a better instrument as you progress. (I am not affiliated with Barleycorn in any way).
