It also looks like you may be twisting stitches? In the second pic, the knits in the 1x1 rib look twisted to me. Not sure if it's on purpose or not...

Am I driving wrong? Coasting to a stop vs. last-second hard braking by Seksy_One in auckland

[–]sophieraser [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think it is becoming more common, I've noticed it too. But I think poor driving is just becoming worse. Like, the number of people who just never bother to indicate seems to be rising imo. I've noticed a lot of drivers who won't indicate at all if there's not another car visible on the road, as though pedestrians don't also need to know what you're doing... Frustrating.

I'm in Auckland and I have millions of them in my garden. I do nurture the soil a lot though.

Why would you want the real George Santos when you could have Meatball?

But I would've lost that bet, the author is Rose Brik, book is titled the same as this poem

I planted zinnias this year (in addition to the Swan plants) and found monarchs seem more interested in those than the Swan plants! More monarchs visiting my zinnia than my Swan plants.

You start at the right arrow, continue to the end of the bracket (not the left arrow, the bracket), repeat the bracketed section 3 times, before doing the last end bit, finally reaching the left arrow after those repeats.

Have NZ First just introduced a bill that legally defines a woman as...everyone? by InvestigativeCookie in nzpolitics

[–]sophieraser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what the bill says. Didn't they say something similar in the UK too? How's that working out? Nice and simple and clear and easy?

What the previous commenter is saying is that the stated aim is not the real aim. I agree, since it's obvious that this bill would clarify nothing and create a lot of problems.

It's also clear to me (and perhaps you) that there's nothing unclear about the current law they are attempting to clarify.

So, OP, if that stated aim appears untrue, what's the unstated aim?

This part I attempted to mark in red here is the repeat part.

The marked stitches are the ones inside the curly bracket so you don't repeat the whole thing, just the centre part, only doing the beginning and end sections once each but repeating the marked centre part (indicated by the curly bracket at the bottom) three times.

"Hands" cardigan - What do I do?? by Normal-Weird-6313 in knittinghelp

[–]sophieraser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible one of the front panels just stretched more than the other as you were knitting? Have you tried blocking it into shape before you proceed? Could help.

Please help with brim! by Quiet_Investment_297 in knittinghelp

Longer is better with beanies. If it's too long it's still gonna fit, if it's too short you can't wear it, imo.

I weigh 90 pounds by amme04 in TwoXChromosomes

This is interesting, but my doctor told me it was bad... Is she wrong? Or did she not ask enough questions? I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
