But do you pile and hoard stuff, do you like to sit in a mound of blankets, do you eat stuff indiscriminately? All of that matters…
I have not owned or worn sweatpants for three decades but everything else applies to me. Am I unknowingly a goblin?
No need to apologise, we all have brain farts sometimes. And akshully, duchess potatoes are baked and so are your balls, so there’s a crossover after all. It’s all looking great!
I’m curious, where’s the crossover between duchess potato and falafel? Totally different recipes and methods
“Taking a tongue” means taking an enemy prisoner to interrogate about their numbers and locations.
Is that “steak” served with half a raw onion?
The temperatures are intuitive for me because Celsius is all I’ve known. The car going 60km/h or 100km/ h I know the difference and how it feels sitting in the car. The speed of wind in the forecast needs to be m/s to make any sense. Over 20 m/s I better tape the windows so that the storm won’t break them
Is that pit lined with mattresses so that those peeps will just isolate themselves for a day? I read the first sentence and nodded in approval: let the natural selection take the wheel but the second sentence made it much more humane.
You can make tea out of nearly any plant. They are infusions rather than true tea but raspberry leaf or sprig tea is damn tasty
Sorry for the videos! I don’t hate them but I can definitely see the attraction of images. Sometimes I need help with just one little step and a 30min video is really an overkill.
The last guide is very good for continental knit stitch. It shows the left hand with the yarn and where the fingers are in every step.
As for the mount. The gist is: you enter the needle the certain way and wrap the yarn the certain way. If done correctly, you’ll end up with a nice fabric. If you mix techniques without knowing, it’ll go haywire. This article has plenty of visuals and explanations.
First off, sorry I confused you even more because I used a wrong word in one sentence, edited it now.
Two distinct styles are continental knitting (yarn coming from the left) and English knitting (yarn coming from the right). Both have slight variations with their own names but it kinda makes sense. The schematics you provided don’t demonstrate how the yarn is held or hooked behind the needle so it’s not specifically continental. However, the way the needle is inserted to the stitch and the direction the yarn is wrapped, that’s western mount. Good thing is, most infomaterials in English are based on western mount so the long descriptions of complicated stitches and decreases and all are based on it regardless of your continental vs English style so all that makes sense.
If you want some good visual for continental knitting, check out Nimble Needles or Roxanne Richardson in YouTube, both very proficient teachers. For Norwegian knitting check out Arne and Carlos, that’s a subgroup of continental.
If you want me to ramble about mounts or find good visuals, lmk, otherwise I feel like I’m dumping too much stuff on people who haven’t asked for any of it.
It’s a very good visual how the stitches are formed. The e-book you linked goes even deeper, showing all kinds of useful basic stitches and providing a few easy to follow patterns.
But I would argue those stitches in OP are not continental per se. Continental knitting refers to holding the yarn in left hand, opposed to English knitting where the yarn is held in right hand. The imagery is for knit stitches, western mount, meaning that the leading leg of the stitch is on the right. In western style the same, leading leg on the right, would apply to purl stitches as well, as seen in the book.
Edit: changed a wrong term. Somehow the thought was running too fast and the eye didn’t pick it up
Everyone using the site gets vetted somehow. I’m not sure about the process as I’ve not used it myself but there are some failsafes included
I have a bad news for you, this already exists. Someone who already owns a dog but can’t walk it for some reason or other puts it up on a website, someone who loves dogs but can’t afford owning one, can apply for a time with the dog.
My friend uses that, her dog is one of those sleek photogenic ones so it frequently poses on walkers’ Instagrams. Everybody happy, the owner, the walkers, the dog.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Not to worry, I’m convinced you’re a good fren everyone wants to hang out with. Goblin-ness not mandatory.
