Finished my first knitting project! Top Top Tank free pattern on Ravelry

Main lessons learned:

- mattress stitch -> goated

-how to pick up dropped stitches with nothing but my fingernails on the train lol

-ssk and k2tog

-how to sew in ends in knitting cause that is so different from crochet

Overall quite happy. The straps are bit to bulky for me, but I hope blocking will help to let them ly flatter.

I used about 150g of a cotton bamboo blend with 4mm needles (3mm for ribbing)

My wild mix so far. Planning to finish the year with plenty more Warhammer 40k

HIM is a favorite in the MM romance bubble but I was utterly pissed at the blatant misogyno throughout the whole book. Actually crazy a woman wrote this.

Flowers for Algernon instant top 3 book of all time for me. Still thinking about it.

Hyperion was an interesting drop of for me, loved the mystery of the first, hated all the answers I got in the second :| won't bother with book 3+4

Starter Set with custom characters

Hey y'all! I'm soon planning to be a first time DM for IM. I've read a lot of Black Library books, played a lot of Rogue Trader and overall feel confident of my worldbuilding capabilities for the game.

But since I never was DM or played a d100 system we wanna start with the starter set. My question is: is it necessary to play it with the premade characters? Or could we do custom characters and continue our adventure after the oneshot?

New to knitting, quite happy with my tension progress

I'm an experienced crocheter dabbling into knitting, this is the first time I am satisfied with my tension and will not frog again!

But I already feel rows and rows of stockinette draining my will to live, I am still used to crochet speed 😂

Hab noch ein Top gehäkelt und mal was erstes gestricktes in Arbeit, mal gucken was das wird :D

Das Top werd ich noch schwarz einfärben, das Garn hat so einen Farbverlauf von schwarz zu grau, der wirkt da aber so gar nicht.

I used the Better World Dress pattern fo freestyle a cute top

I loved the yoke on the pattern when I did my dress so I followed it till I decided to split the arms and then freestyled the rest. I added an elastic band at the bottom so it sits nice and snug on my body

Any recommendations to follow up on Cadians after the fall?

Hey all, I just finished The Fall of Cadia and realised I had a bit of a blindspot on the lore there. Never heard of Ursarkar Creed before and didn't even know Celestine was actually appearing for real (which made her arrival pretty cool with no knowledge about it).

But I really fell in love with the Cadians, are there any books specifically following the rest of the guard that managed to get off the planet you'd recommend? Or any "prequels" telling more about Creed?

Pleasent surprise to find english Warhammer books at my (german) LGS!

German bookshops carry a lot of Warhammer books, but sadly never in english. So I was so pleasently surprised to find some between the german ones at my LGS, and hardcover too! 🥰

Mein Better World Dress, super happy und stolz :)

Mein Magnum Opus bisher. Die letzten Reihen haben sich wirklich gezogen und haben >2h/Reihe gedauert. Aber insgesamt war es an sich einfach zu machen. Spende ging an eine queere Einrichtung meiner Stadt.
