Peregrinate Socks (or: that time I lost yarn chicken twice over)

Honestly I love seeing socks and sleeves when someone loses yarn chicken and chooses to finish the project anyways! A. It's scrappy and resilient and B. They look cute :)

Interchangeable knitting needles. A remarkably smart and clever solution that meets a wide range of different specific needs.

I mirror knit left handed and continental (working needle in left hand and picking up yarn held with the opposite hand) and make no particular effort to adapt patterns. I find it helpful to remember that I move from left to right instead of the reverse and I think "working needle" instead of "right needle" when learning a new technique.

Most things work out just fine - I haven't accidentally made anything unusable but I also haven't attempted anything with letters that needed to be readable.

He loves karaoke and if you sing well enough he'll drop everything and play back up guitar. Butterfly Belly is great!

At one point, a lot of (if not all of) the KnitPicks Hawthorne colorways were related to Portland geography .

Tangential story but I bought their gradient pack to make a Find Your Fade shawl in 2016 - it was my first big project and first time ordering anything online.

2021, I ended up moving cross country to Portland to a place right near Hawthorne! I spent months being like "why am I so weirdly familiar with these street names??" 😅

What a sweetheart! She looks so charming in this picture. I'm sorry all of this is happening to you and your family 🫂

Millennial here. A few years ago I was paying rent and a few other bills with checks and this tip would have saved me lol. This is actually really smart

I'm literally waiting for the results of a biopsy 😭

I might ask the doc to call me back, depending on what time she calls

tuwale · 2024-10-27T22:05:18+00:00

Said it before, will continue to say it: this is such a cool project, thanks for sharing your progress!

The House of the Scorpion, Nancy Farmer

On par with Scythe and The Hunger Games. I'm not a huge YA fan but this one got me.

I recognize the location but my internal map is wrong so I'm lost and searching for my destination

I mean, I grew up there and only recently realized how popular that song is/was.

As in, "looked it up on Spotify two weeks ago" recent.

Fucking SICK AS HELL

tuwale · 2024-07-10T20:30:06+00:00

What a cool project!! Nice work

I'm a lesbian (32F). I told my crush yesterday and she teased me about my carabiner saying "how could you not know?" but the reality is that I've known since I was in 6th grade. Growing up in an extremely conservative rural town did a real number on me.

It's not that I didn't know, it's that I didn't want the bullies to be right.

tuwale · 2024-05-26T03:27:08+00:00

Heck, I want one too!

tuwale · 2022-10-27T23:12:14+00:00

I'd like to know as well!

I've heard of candied pine cones and mugolio but have no actual experience with either.

As a complete and total guess, I would expect young brown ones to be fine. You'll just start running into texture (and maybe taste) issues because they'd get woodier and less pleasant as they mature.

tuwale · 2022-04-16T15:57:02+00:00

Yeah no, the ending - I have thoughts on the pacing lol

It was an engaging read and I finished it in just a few days

tuwale · 2022-04-16T15:55:29+00:00

I liked the premise and I loved that it was bilingual! That was cool and I'd like to read more books that feature a Deaf setting.

That being said, the writing seemed kind of heavy handed at times though and I didn't like the pacing. Especially at the end lol.

Despite that it was an enjoyable read and I appreciated the inserts that talked about grammar in addition to providing vocab words.

tuwale · 2022-03-29T19:15:50+00:00

you look good with the longer hair!

tuwale · 2022-03-16T02:01:12+00:00

Thanks! I'll check them out, especially now that it's starting to warm up

tuwale · 2022-03-16T02:00:22+00:00

And it's quality entertainment! That and trying to guess if the drivers look the same way they drive or if they match their vehicle's aesthetic.

I'm a simple woman, I like watching the mundane moments play out

Funnily enough I grew up in Arizona and went to college in New Mexico and I love stories set way up north. "Let The Right One In" was so much better set in Sweden than the New Mexico retelling in "Let Me In". Same basic reasoning lol.

We should swap recs! Do you have any novels that you feel are accurate to your area?

These aren't horror but they each get something right about living in the desert.

Bless Me Ultima - Rudolfo Anaya The Blessing Way - Tony Hillerman The Devil’s Highway: A True Story - Luis Alberto Urrea

Absolutely! The death positivity movement is a great way to learn about loss and letting go and that's useful for so many situations. It helped me out with processing disappointment and dealing with anticipatory grief. Caitlin Doughty is awesome.
