  • Van de Velde en Immers in tranen na 'heel zware' Spelen: 'Supertrots op Steven'

  • @tierelantijntje vanwege z’n slachtoffer vind ik het extra erg dat de media er zo ontzettend op duikt. Het is een voldongen feit dat hij meedoet, zwijg hem dood, dan hoeft zij er ook niets mee.

  • cafe in Amsterdam could not produce a receipt -- a “digital transformation” scenario; are receipts no longer obligatory?

  • @toasterOven Signing instead of using PIN has always been a niche in the Netherlands. We basically went from cheques (which most millennials will never have used) straight to PIN cards. The “card payment available” logo is blue with the word PIN on it. All payments including the little ones used to be PIN secured until “contactless” became a thing.

  • @Emotional_Series7814 the book says “wrap the yarn”, that’s English. Continental would be picking the yarn with your right needle.

  • I had to put my cabled sweater in hibernation because my #postCovid brain couldn’t grok it. Which made me sad.

  • @proudblond thank you! it's a strange state of being. Super enjoying some small things though - like this slipper, or a really good cup of tea.

  • I fell in love with this cloak, but it's sold out! Anyone have a similar pattern?

    Jump

  • @tehlaughing1 ah yes! Oh there are some FUN patterns. I follow her on Insta but seeing them all together like this is quite something!

  • @tehlaughing1 I was convinced she did but it seems she only has one on Ravelry!

  • Looking for pattern recs to learn colorwork (fair isle)

    Jump

  • @kurobita wearing a pair right now! They're super warm because you effectively have two layers of yarn.

    oh, pro tip: get wool that's a bit rustic, like Shetland or Norwegian or whatever is sticky/grippy around where you live. SO MUCH easier than, like, superwash merino if you're starting with colourwork.

    Jump

  • @kurobita fair isle is a subset/implementation of stranded colourwork, so you can safely go with the latter and knit your heart out :)

    Jump

  • @kurobita if you want to do fair isle, you could look at the Shetland Wool Week hats, they’re super fun! Hazel Tindall designed a couple of them and she has many more patterns for small projects.

  • What is your preferred material for interchangeable needles?

    Jump

  • @kurobita Definitely steel. Sometimes I use bamboo for super slippery yarn but I almost always change them for the steel ones at some point.

  • First attempt at doing separate finger holes, not 100% happy with the result, but it will do

    Jump

  • @Ramenator I think sewing is the best way to get a neat finish in many cases

  • Two of my best friends both gave birth within an month and I try to be SCRUPULOUSLY FAIR in providing them with knitwear. But duplicates are boring! So I’m knitting their Christmas jumpers two at a ti

    Jump

  • @weirdsquid not quite there yet, but I’m thinking about doing different patterns on the sleeves so two times two-at-a-time seems more logical. Although now I’m thinking about doing them four-at-a-time anyway just because I (think I) can!

  • @kurobita They look super fun! And I love your point protectors 😍

  • At least I can mope around at home with Covid in my newly finished sweater. It has a little lid for my watch because I might need a watch again sometime in the future 🙃

  • @thegiddystitcher yes I had a knitless week as well. That’s how my manager knew it was serieus 😂

  • @thegiddystitcher awww Covid solidarity right back! I feel fine, just so tired all the time and screens give me a headache. Not practical if you’re a software engineer… hope you’re feeling better too.

    I was unnerved by this sweater because there’s so much shaping in the yoke and I more or less guessed at it. It came out better than I ever hoped for 🥰

    Can we talk about the neurotic knitter’s dream gradient yarn, the Zauberperlen (“magic pearls”)? This is so much fun it’s probably illegal somewhere. [@knitting@a.gup.pe](https://a.gup.pe/u/knitting
