It absolutely will at first, but once you get the hang of it, you should be able to pick up speed.

It is going to take some getting used to. I haven't been back to knitting for long and it took me a while. You've been doing it consistently one way for a long time.

Are you talking about the circular neeedle you posted earlier? They do take some getting used to. They feel very weird in the hand at first and I imagine that will be double for you because of the way you knit.
Good luck!

I think I would like the centered on 1 X 1 rib and the double decrease on 2 X 2. But this is my first one so what do I know? I'm just glad it worked out on the first try and I don't have to pull it out.

I found a recipe on the internet. Grocery store had local blueberries on sale so I grabbed a bunch.
I used this one, but there are many others out there:

Well, I have been informed that she has finally had a solid poo. And that she woke up with an itchy bum this morning. Still waiting on results from yesterday's MRI but there is less drainage than when she went in.

Just because it is the most important thing to you, doesn't mean everyone here wants to discuss it all the time. I don't know if you've noticed, but we discuss a variety of things here.

You know you can talk about something else here, right? Like join in on a conversation about pets. Or hobbies. Or things that are in the news. Anything.
Several of us have tried engaging with you but it always ends up related to Rush either directly or tangentially.

And some cats (looking at you Farah) don't like enclosed litter boxes and freak out when they hear weird noises.
My friend's daughter has one. It weighs the cats and has a camera that keeps track of which cat went when and how much. She finds it handy but I can't see myself obsessing over the cat's output unless there was a health concern.

After much swearing and ripping ou of seams because I kept fucking up, here is sock bag v2, with more sharks:
In case it isn't clear, the inside has two pockets on one side and a gathered, box pleated one on the other side to put the yarn in.
I also made a detachable pouch with a skirt pin for my stitch markers.
Did I mention there was a lot of swearing?

I'd argue that they are already suffering if they are limiting their moveements within their own neighbourhood because of this as well as being basically told that they will be harassed or assaulted and no one is doing anything about it.

What fucking message are they sending the girls? It's certainly not that they will curb the men's behaviour. They are basically saying 'we know some shit is going to happen, let us know when it does.'
Clear those fucking predators from the area and let the girls live their lives.

It's a masterpiece of Abstract Expressionism! All the distracting details have been blurred, leaving only the raw impression of a peaceful landscape under a bright blue sky. It harkens back to our primitive understanding of the countryside within which we flourished into our inate humanity.

Yes, especially for things like watercolour paper. I buy the full sheets and cut them to the size I want. But those I usually wet and tear so I have a soft edge instead of a crisp one. No guillotine needed.

The composition is fine. Yours is a litle higher on the right, hers is a little higher on the left. Your pot is just made from a different type of clay. I think it's wonderful.

Couldn't find a single English-language news source covering this:
Non-residents getting lower sentences so as not to trigger expulsion procedures. Minister calls for a 'return to order'. In other words, to apply the law equally to residents and non-residents. You don't get a lesser sentence for the same offense because it will impact your immigration process.

Someone got a little cocky with her latest pair of socks and didn't double check the row gauge before doing the heels and now has to rip back 40 rows (including heel turns) because the feet are about 1 cm too long. Of course they're being knit two at a time on one long circular needle.
This should be fun.

And then people express shock and dismay that people like Epstein got away with what they did for so long. It's really quite simple, they play by different rules. They see the people that serve and service them as little more than fleshy robots created for their pleasure. They really see themselves as a better, more worthy class of humans to whom laws and common decency do not apply.
