It's obviously me!
We have one in our office that we put on a shelf above eye height when we're all working. It seems to be okay just kind of shining down on us. It's usually on the whole day but we're only in for a few hours at a time, we all have meetings and appointments with other people so pop in and out of the office.
Both comments are showing for me! Thanks for that, the cable jumper I'm doing right now is a merino/acrylic blend and it's getting very heavy and thick so I'm getting a bit anxious about how wearable it'll be. I guess it's all learning.
I hope you get many wonderful wears from your jumper and have a lovely Christmas
This looks great! I've been tempted with chunky yarns for a jumper, however the next one in my queue is fingering weight so I'll have to wait a bit.
Is the acrylic comfy to wear? Or does it get too hot?
Mind the cows in the nebula Richard... I mean number 1
There's some of the obvious ones like cleanliness and being kind to service people. I think dress sense is one to a degree as well, I don't mean being super curated but at least putting some effort in.
One of the more boring ones I've picked up as I've aged is financial literacy and being good with money. I love a guy with a big spreadsheet.
Hobbies is one for me too. Something people are interested in or passionate about gives them depth and character.
I did try to learn from my grandmother when I was a kid but it didn't stick. I don't think I had the manual dexterity, when I looked it up on YouTube as an adult I didn't have too much trouble with it.
I had forgotten learning from my grandmother but I found some of my old notes and things at her house the other week that been stored away for the last 30 years or so.
Now I learn from YouTube and certain books. How to knit socks that fit, jumper knitting handbook type stuff and the Japanese knitting stitch Bible.
I started with crochet and moved onto knitting. Now I much prefer it and how versatile it is
I.....
There's....
It's.....
Speechless. Just speechless
I mean it does still jump out sometimes, depends how hard I pull!
Just measured it and it's 7 inches across/diameter so fairly large yes
Oh my god it's true!
I've not rewound this yarn, I'm just taking the label off and getting the end. I use the bowl to have something to put the yarn in basically and because I think it looks nice. I'm terrible for buying hobby bits because they look nice, I have so many pins and stitch markers and things.
Like another person said though, if it was one of the fancy yarns that comes in a hank (I think they're called) I'd need to wind it first so it was a ball before being able to use it.
Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know about some of these and always fun to learn more.
I've tried Portuguese, continental and English but stayed with continental. Getting purls down with even tension and not hurting my wrist took some time but got there in the end
