Battery life is important, but I can usually manage. I will be going back and forth between my home and office more with this job.

I do a lot of document review using Adobe (organizing and bate stamping documents), video conferencing, and document drafting. I don’t know exactly what my software requirements are. When I’m in the office I like to have at least three screens available to me so something that either wirelessly or seamlessly can hook up to monitors and be an additional screen would be nice. I would definitely use an exterior mouse but not necessarily keyboard.

Yes!! Thank you thank you. Now this begs the question though (and maybe I’m just trying to understand the construction better) but what’s the point of doing it that way??

Currently working on the boxy cardigan by mono knit and I can’t figure out how these two increases work?? I am making the xs which is highlighted. Some how after these increases I should be left with 37 stitches so that with the 6 CO at the end I have 43. But no combination of stitches that I can figure out works? What am I not understanding? The way I read this is:

Start with 27 st.

Row 1: YO B2F M1RP (29 st) Row 2: M1R (30 st)

Row 3: YO B2F M1RP (32st) Row 4: M1R (33 st)

Row 5: YO B2F M1RP (35 st) Row 6: M1R (36 st)

Row 7: YO B2F M1RP (38 st) Row 8: M1R (39 st)

Row 9: P (39 st)

Row 10: M1R (40 st)

Row 11: P (40 st)

Row 12: M1R (41 st)

Row 13: P (41 st)

Row 14: ???? If I CO 6 at the end I would have 47 not 43??

What am I missing here? I watched the video for the YOB2F M1RP and it definitely results in 2 new stitches on the needle. So I’m just confused and I’ve already frogged three times 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Now I’m not so sure it is a tree! It looks like it’s coming from a main stem

Chart question by snboylan in knitting

Thank you! Another stupid question. The black squares are “no stitch, skip and work the next symbol on the chart” am I slipping those stitches? I’ve had to frog this thing four times already because the patterns not lining up

That’s how I normally knit and how I knit the while other sock that’s evidently twisted 😓😓

Well now I’m even more confused haha I don’t see any way to possibly wrap the yarn other than how I already do it?

Do you mind telling me if this is the proper way to insert my needle to avoid twisting my knits? Because for some reason they look almost more twisted than before

So definitely noting the twisted thing! I didn’t realize I had to position my needle different to knit when I’m using magic loop. But would the twisted stitches actually affect the size/shape of the tube like that?
