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.

Mind the cows in the nebula Richard... I mean number 1

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.

Thank you! Yes it's quite fun being all casual about doing something that looks complicated. I am pleased I can cable without a needle though and don't think this would be possible without that technique!

Thank you, that's really kind. It is a lot of cables lol and I was worried about handling it. To be honest though once you do a few repeats it's fairly easy to keep track of what's going on

Thank you very much! I practiced a fair bit before trying this pattern. You should give it a go!

Thank you! Hopefully I can do it justice when it's finished

 

I'm trying my hand at the Handsome Chris Pullover after successfully (nearly) completing a colourwork jumper.

I feel like I'm going to jinx myself but it's actually been easier than I thought so far and no major issues. I've had to ladder down a couple of times to fix a cable but I can manage that. Only on the back panel about half way through so we'll see how I feel when it comes to the neck at the front!

The pattern seems a bit bare when talking about the arms, does anyone have any experience with making this and have any ideas/advice on the arms?

By Dr. Bashir! Amazing!

 

Someone mentioned their location in a post the other day and it got me wondering what part of the world we're all from. I think I've mostly spoken to Europeans which is a surprise.

I'll go first! I'm in the South of the UK on the coast. We're having a rare sunny day so I'm writing this on my lunch break on the beach 🏖️

 

Which television show do you think has the hottest cast of dudes and dudettes?

My vote is for the Chilling Tales of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

I was surprised to come to that conclusion but when I thought about it there are a lot of hotties in there. I thought it was going to be Sense8, but that's taken the runner up position.

What do you all think? I need something new to watch and fancy some eye candy!

 

I've only recently found Schitts Creek and have fallen in love with it. I really like the relationship between Patrick and David and think it might be my favourite representation of a gay couple on TV ever.

Who are your favourite couples on television and film?

 

Really sad to see more attacks like this happening in places that are usually accepting. I used to go to this pub and know people who still do go there, it must be so weird for them going to the MET for help when all the reports show them as institutionally homophobic, racist and sexist. What's it like where you are?
