Yeah, but if we acknowledge leggings as a form of pants then we can't include it in the hand waving of male accountability, and we might actually have to believe a woman.

I got where you were going and I'm a little put off by you being down voted just if we're going to be pedantic might as well pull out the dictionary to put the kabosh on this nonsense.

"an outer garment covering each leg separately and usually extending from the waist to the ankle" by the dictionary definition of pants they are indeed pants in the modern lexicon we distinguish them in the same way you have trousers, slacks, jeans, etc.

I was like "man I can't wait to be able to say I've been knitting for 20 years" then I did the math and next year will be 20 years 😳 I forgot I'm not a spring chicken anymore.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS PATTERN LAST WEEK!!! I can't wait to cast on it's so cute.

I meant to do the brackets/parentheses to make a blue linked word thing and got them mixed up and couldn't edit the post from mobile so here we are with a broken link. Anyway here is the link! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arthur-5

I should state I am a chaotic crafter and I didn't have a lot of time. So I cast the eraser on knit it using the magic loop and dyed it on the cable. I squeezed out as much rinse water as I could and held it in front of a fan for about 20 minutes then stuffed it with a plastic bag so it would hold it's shape and continued on to the gray section. The yarn used is Universal Yarn Deluxe Bulky Superwash in cream, orange, and neutral grey. Literally knit up the eraser and dunked it in a Rit dye bath of petal pink in the petal pink essence ratio it was not dry when I moved onto the gray portion but it didn't bleed.

Too critical and would personally do diagonal lines and call it a day. Also, two of my babies were given project Linus blankets from the hospital. Their's are simple flannel blankets, but they are treasured. Thank you for being a part of this ❤️

I had to do a double take when you said three colors not four. The speckled white really changes between a warm and cool tone depending on which color it is next to I really love the effect!

I bought a patten from her years and years ago and still get updates for it. It's nice to see continued support of pattern.

My parents gifted us items for a "hope chest" every year once we turned 10, but it was rarely linens. We got our dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, storage containers, etc. Basically, when I moved out, I bought bath towels and thrifted some furniture. At 33, married with two kids and six moves later, I will be buying a new set of dishes to replace the ones from my hope chest the service for 8 now diminished to service for four. I can not wait to do the same for my children it truly set me up for adulthood.

Stress of my own making 😳 it would have been done so much sooner, but I'm pregnant, and most nights, I've gone to bed as soon as the kids were down for bed. But I'm pleased with how it turned out although I realized after posting they should be facing the other direction the that side has the beginning of the round so there is a slight shift in the colorwork going up the side.

The pattern for her stocking and just throwing out there the one for the one for the left the yarn is knitpicks wool of the Andes Solstice Heather and White. The original pattern calls for sport weight yarn, which would have resulted in a more reasonably sized stockings, but I have no regrets for the way these turned out.

Cotton doesn't stretch well so you're going to want a cotton blend. I'm not a sock knitter, but there are some cotton socks doing a quick ravelry search.

Damn that person better feel insanely loved. I started working on a celtic quilt in between other knitting and my husband goes you can never gift a blanket because no one will truly appreciate all the time you've spent on this... I've only done three blocks this year.

Edit: a letter

I know I say it wrong but my brain calls it Chai goo which isn't even how it's spelled.

You definitely do not have to at all if you feel like you want to my go to are baby booties. I've done them in angora for myself and wool held with mohair for friends they knit up quickly and they are obscenely soft.

gettingitknit

This is neat missing angora and camel and really niche ones like qiviut/musk ox or guanaco under other animals but a good beginner guide to fiber simple and succinct. Thank you for sharing.

Sooo pink with a little texture makes your friend see vulva? Because that is not giving vulva.
