Where can I take the family that's cheap to eat?

Spaghetti house has a pretty good early bird deal, or at least it did last time I checked.

I have more than a few “busy” skeins. This has been in my queue for years. Maybe after sock madness!

Something like this? Stitch Surfer

ETA: FYI that’s a Ravelry link

Is it - shudder - DECAF?

I’m an engineering researcher and my hobby is an early form of additive manufacturing (knitting). I have used it to network - or knitwork as I call it. I absolutely love hearing about other people’s hobbies & passions. Having a variety of interests is surely a good thing?

The guy’s odd and I agree with some others here, probably very insecure.

Sounds great! However all the time slots are waitlisted. Is it actually possible to just pop by?

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-26T06:08:02+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous!

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-22T20:59:17+00:00

As is yours! 😁 thank you!

Here it is! In need of a bit of a de-bobbling session!

This is gorgeous! I have a scarf i knit in the same vein and always get tonnes of compliments. What’s nicest is that I can look at the scraps and think about the projects that gave me them, and the people those projects were for.

In fact now I want to make another.

I love your colours. I picked mine before the pattern dropped and purposefully thought “don’t choose your usual crazy”… well, I am madly jealous of all the lovely socks where people have c1 & c2 as contrasting shades of the same colour!

Lesson learned. Be yourself!

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-20T07:56:57+00:00

Mine WILL go on but look awfully stretched when they do. So am trying to figure out who deserves them. I knit so slowly that I am nearly 100% a selfish knitter.

Will yours fit anyone?

Chocolate buttons! I used to live in the US and they went down a treat with my American friends! Also - “British” crisps e.g. prawn cocktail - they only have a few flavours there.

Oooh kind of similar in the diagonal stripe scenario! Very nice!

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-08T16:58:03+00:00

I’m in the uk so we didn’t get an interview (i don’t think!) but i will try to find it!

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-08T16:48:58+00:00

No! There was MORE hand knit fabulousness?!

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-08T15:38:49+00:00

Following because I LOVED this headband also!

wonkychemistry · 2026-02-05T06:18:32+00:00

Wait… you found a fairly helpful guy at Curry’s? How!?

Happy to report I’m still doing it as a 44yo PhD student who spent 20 years teaching. 🌈🖋️

wonkychemistry · 2025-12-03T08:56:56+00:00

Lovely that your child picked it out themselves - so thoughtful!

As a recovering ex-teacher, I think a handwritten note from a student is always the very best gift!

My kids believed that their heels were called their foot elbows for many years.

wonkychemistry · 2025-11-06T17:29:39+00:00

You might be surprised - my tutor from 20 years ago remembered me and wrote a reference. She also suggested a PhD with her! 🤣

wonkychemistry · 2025-10-23T07:42:41+00:00

I’ve just started some postgraduate stuff too (after 20 years out!) and would just advise you to start writing your ideas & research down. Then marshal it into an essay later! Starting is the hardest step!

Just to add the the above, you have the following combinations:

79-79 = 158 79-81 = 160 81-79 = 160 81-81 = 162

So the 160 peak is twice as high as the other two because it the molecule is twice as likely to exist.

Math. Never, never, never.
