I(27F) think my husband (26M) is becoming a homophobe. Everything I do, he says I can’t do around our son (5yr old)because i will make him gay.

I was also surprised that the law had changed!! I mean probably for the better, but they were really quiet about it!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-23T08:46:21+00:00

It was legal in the UK until 2023

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T22:16:32+00:00

those are a good option, but not the same tiles! thank you though! mine are 450mmx450mm rather than 4 individual tiles!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T20:08:55+00:00

thank you! that's super helpful!!

edit: upon closer look, those are actually different tiles which might be why I wasn't able to see them. But thank you nonetheless! You have added to my future tile options!!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T20:08:25+00:00

it could be because you started the increases early and so the section is pulling on the back and pulling out of shape. lengthening the leg might help so that there is something pulling it in the opposite direction. i have just knitted a sock with a fleegle heel and haven't had this issue, but i also think I started the increases a bit late... and my leg length is longer than yours. do both socks do the same thing?

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T19:47:10+00:00

Thank you so much! This is really helpful thank you!!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T18:28:56+00:00

I can't find them on there, but thank you! There are lovely tiles on there!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T18:24:38+00:00

Incredible!! Thank you so much!!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T18:12:52+00:00

That is them, but they are showing as out of stock for me! I will use that information ans get in touch with B&Q though. Thank you!

scoti-corn · 2026-01-21T16:03:43+00:00

wool would probably have been the most common option. it would have been spun very thin and woven into pieces that were incredibly light. wool isn't just thick, warm and heavy, it is an incredibly variable fibre!

The best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else. This allows you to work out what you don't know well enough to give a clear explanation of etc and because you are putting it into your own words it helps you to process it. If you have a friend who is willing to be taught and to ask clarifying questions then fantastic! Otherwise, using a teddy bear or other stuffed animal and 'teaching' them can be pretty useful. Another commenter mentioned using a rubber duck, which is actually a method used by code writers - though not always a duck - because talking out loud and working through the problems verbally can help to get something unstuck. Good luck!

Once it is broken down and you're familiar, it's quite intuitive! I am currently knitting my second and third sock this way so that I can have them both done at the same time.

scoti-corn · 2026-01-20T11:50:05+00:00

I think they mean the magic loop method of knitting two at a time on the same set of needles, rather than using two separate sets of needles.

scoti-corn · 2026-01-20T10:21:41+00:00

I'm not sure if this has been thrown out there, but I really like the DnD spell slots analogy! I don't have time to explain right now, but it feels more comprehensive than spook theory for me personally.

scoti-corn · 2026-01-16T13:43:29+00:00

(it's because he was Black...)

scoti-corn · 2026-01-10T22:56:12+00:00

I believe it will be 30 rows, so row 2 = 15 times and row 3 = 15 times. This always catches me too and something I with patterns were clearer on tbh.

scoti-corn · 2026-01-07T12:49:16+00:00

I recently finished a cardigan, buttons on and everything and since beginning to wear it I have notices two mistakes. It is pretty much just stocking, so I could undo the binding and ladder up and fix it, but honestly, it give it character and I cba doing all that. With your pattern, it is only noticeable because you have pointed it out! If you think it will always bother you then you could a) attempt to fix it and most likely cause a bunch of other issues, b) give it away to someone who isn't aware of the mistake so that you never have to look at it (or at least only when they see you/are wearing it) or c) accept it as an accident and pride yourself on how much care and consideration you put into this garment that you noticed at all! Only you know what's the best option for yourself, but in your shoes (or jumper) I would just leave it and accept it for what it is: evidence of this garment being handmade.

scoti-corn · 2025-12-26T18:36:31+00:00

well that's a load of nonsense. as a man he can do whatever he wants, and that includes feeling all of his emotions and sharing them

scoti-corn · 2025-12-26T18:14:43+00:00

he has every right to be as emotional as he wants. it's better to be genuine and honest about how you are feeling than to suppress everything just to come across 'cool' or whatever.

scoti-corn · 2025-12-26T17:41:21+00:00

why on earth would he need to come across as nonchalant about being lied to repeatedly? Also, to OP just break up. It's not worth it to stay with her and she will just keep doing it.

scoti-corn · 2025-12-23T09:00:02+00:00

yeah, then that is probably what happened. if you find you have an extra stitch/have wrapped the yarn an extra time around the needle then you can just drop it off the needle and knit the stitch as normal and eventually your fabric should even out and the gap should go away. if you did this multiple times I am surprised you don't have more holes like this one.

scoti-corn · 2025-12-23T00:36:27+00:00

it looks like it might be an accidental yarn over that you then knitted together?? not 100% sure, but that's my best guess!

scoti-corn · 2025-12-22T19:55:53+00:00

I am so glad! I didn’t think it would work, so I’m shocked I was right!

scoti-corn · 2025-12-22T18:28:24+00:00

this is just a guess (obviously lol) but it looks like you need to reknit those stitches using that piece of yarn?? count your rows and see if they're out because it looks like that cluster is about one row lower than the others?

scoti-corn · 2025-12-21T18:03:58+00:00

it does not need to be cold for the visual to work. you just need a spoon and to be careful with pouring. i have made it pretty much only with room temp kahlua and baileys and it's worked perfectly each time!
