All the LYS's are closed on Mondays...

A light hearted rant...

My yarn for my first raglan sweater (one skein to see if it's a good match for the pattern) is in my mailbox... I have two local-ish LYS near me (one further is 45 min) and all three are closed today... I need two size needles I don't have...

I may be considering an interchangable set sooner then later .... LOL...

Knit Cakes Managed!

I’ve been searching for a way to keep my cakes caked as I knit the Sea Glass tee…had a random 3 am thought and it works! Tubular wrapping for the win! I should have checked the total length. This 26 feet will last me forever…

Any help is appreciated!

The pattern says kfb but the video is doing M1s

German Short Rows Help

Hi! Working on the Sea Glass Tee. First Garment. On the short rows and am confused. Am I knitting all the way around after creating the GSR or am I working back and forth on that area only?

Does that even make sense?

Different payment amounts shown

Hi: I did try to search but wasn't able to find an answer.

Is anyone else seeing huge differences in what the calculator says is your payment vs what it actually will be when you complete the application? Mine goes from 88$ to 288$?

3am… figured out why I can’t sleep

Tonight me and my high school senior went to a celebration for a piece of art he submitted for potential scholarship. I am perpetually way to early to things so we stop at Dunks and got are regular refreshers. This was at 4:00pm. I had a large with green tea. Didn’t think. I am only on week one.

Now it’s 3am and I’m wide awake. I’ve tried everything for the last five hours to sleep and only now did I realize that if my digestion is slowed down would that affect the caffeine too? Is that why I’m kinda vibrating a little? This is the first refresher I’ve had since starting. Typically I get one at 6:30 on my way into work.

So now I’ve given up on sleep. I’m just
Going to read til my alarm goes off. (Which I usually fall asleep reading but that didn’t work either for the first two hours.

Edit—typos.
