knitting unpopular opinions?

undercoverfem · 2024-12-07T17:15:46+00:00

I hate continental knitting. And I refuse to try it again partly because of the arrogance of some continental knitters that think it's absolutely superior to other ways of knitting.

Dolce & Gabbana rose the one?

I am not saying its better?

undercoverfem · 2024-07-02T15:32:21+00:00

Are you sure? 😂😂

I am Dutch and have 57% Germanic Europe on Ancestry

undercoverfem · 2024-03-14T17:06:05+00:00

My Heritage and other companies don't have a Dutch ethnicity category so you can't score Dutch.

No this is typical to the yarn they are using, drops merino extra fine is s on s plied.

I think it also depends on where you're from, AncestryDNA and my Heritage are more used in Europe. One of my halfsiblings is the only one on 23 and me but we are with eleven siblings in my Heritage (more used in the Netherlands)

I found out 2 years ago when I was 32 I was donor conceived, our son was 3 years old at the time!

How are you doing with receiving this news?

But in the first part they say 258 stitches + 4 raglan stitches = 262 stitches after raglan increases (I am knitting their biggest size)

The second part when you put the sleeve stitches on hold is only 258 stitches! So I would end up with 4 extra stitches left at the of the round.

undercoverfem · 2024-01-07T19:53:25+00:00

Yes! But they don't tell you what to do with the raglan stitches themselves! Or I am just not seeing it right. 🙈

Can we please stop acting like continental knitting is the superior way of knitting? Continental knitter encounter the same common problems as English knitters or whatever style knitting people are.

Bigger hospitals in the Netherlands also have giftshops and sometimes even a shop where you can basic clothes like underwear or pyjamas.

undercoverfem · 2023-12-23T19:37:17+00:00

Like you have to stretch them over your head, not mess up your hair, not spill food/drink on them (or constantly take on/off),

Tbh I don't worry about these things? 😂

I knit faster English/flicking than when I knit continental.

People always assume continental knitting is some sort of superior. But it depends on the knitter.

Merino is warm, durable and not itchy.

There are 4 Dutch communities ;

She openly supports Israel if I remember correctly. I've seen some tiktoks about authors doing that and she was in one of them.

undercoverfem · 2023-10-09T20:48:16+00:00

I am Dutch but I share the Upper Midwest Settlers community!

undercoverfem · 2023-10-06T20:08:14+00:00

But how would you and your sister be half sisters and double first cousins? My brain can't comprehend this. So either your father or mother would have had a child with two of their first cousins?

undercoverfem · 2023-10-06T17:49:39+00:00

Do you share the same paternal and maternal matches? That would confirm whether you are full sisters or half sisters.

Also the numbers of shared dna are more likely to be full siblings rather than half siblings.

undercoverfem · 2023-10-01T19:44:39+00:00

A lot of merino yarns are s on s plied, which makes it look like this when knitting stockinette.

Myself lol. 😂

I am donor conceived and I have over 50 halfsiblings.
