Yeah, seeing that they have a physical location has ruined me

Yeah, I like the sustainability of it - and there’s so much that knitters can make use of

No problem. I’m always on the look out for sustainablity in the craft world so got a bit excited when I saw this

Something like this but make it longer, do a knot hood and find a simple colourwork pattern?

Or this, with a hood and in black and white?

It depends how comfortable you are modifying patterns, I guess pp

The reason I never made socks is because I hated how the heel flap looked and was too intimidated by all of the others. Bit the bullet and decided to try with FLK and never gone back. I think that the instructions are a little overexplained but, overall, it’s a very easy and rhymic pattern.

I’ve started experimenting with the ratio of side heel:centre heel:side heel and have found that I prefer the heel to be ⅔ of the total circumference, so you might want to try a few alterations once you’re familiar with it.

Brilliant, thank you

Thank you, good detective work

Looking for a new, non-shot phone. Can anyone ID the one on the left?

I’ll refer you to unexpctedkeg’s comment

Because the cost of the app to do that isn’t $60 a year.

Lets not pretend that it isn’t about data collection though. If they cared about protecting my data, they’d spend a little more money and either make 0.1% less profit or pass the cost onto the consumer

Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks for the recommendation

Yes, that’s another reason. I’m reliant on the app for the device to function - if they stop supporting it, the company goes bankrupt, my wifi cuts out - I now have a very expensive piece of plastic.

Fortunately I’m not in the US so I actually have reproductive rights

I’ve been looking for a breast pump recently - I’d like electric so I don’t have to manually pump. All of the ones I could find in the shop required an app to connect to the device. Why? What purpose does that serve me? I’d have to make an account, accept needless permissions and cookies and give them access to very personal data about my boobs and milk production - I went with a manual one instead

Have you weighed them? It could be that the left is just bunched up more (hope that’s the case and you haven’t been shafted by the yarn company)

It depends if you can source the wool cheaply. If so, it’s about £40 for a drop spindle and some carding paddles. Otherwise, you’ll have to also factor in the costs of the fibre. Costs add up as you progress, of course… a spinning wheel would be your next big expense
