King Arthur's cornbread recipe gets a lot of compliments, but that doesn't mean it can't be beat! Tucking this away for later...

Summer is so busy, I'm usually more than ready for it to end. I've always used Chiaogoo fixed needles. Not sure if they'd solve your problem with the join or work well for magic loop (I use 9" needles for socks), but I've never had any problems!

I think the worst part is that its so hot, I just want to nap all the time. Then I look at my to-do list in horror 😭 100% waiting for fall now! Ooo, duh! I use ChiaGoo for sweaters and washcloths, it didn't click with me to try for socks! Their needle tips are top tier and the cables are nice. I'll def get one to try out. I started a sock with a pretty mint tweed and the snagging made me meh and I stopped >.<

So I have your permission to spray my CEO with Lysol, got it

@skep lmao! Imma say Lysol might be the only solution. There was a point I thought perhaps a prebiotic would keep the business bros from proliferating wildly, but they seem to have multiplied exponentially since Blockchain and they keep on trying to synergistecally in lockstep start the new industrial revolution, or something to that nature 😱

Brud looks precious. I'm still waiting for the universe to bless me with a surprise kitten

So agree with you on AI writing. It’s embarrassing

@oopsiedoodle YES!!! OMG even when the intent personal, the style gives it all such a cringey sales vibe. I go to LinkedIn now and brace myself for the onslaught of it, while questioning my judgement in even visiting the darn site in the first place >.<

I didn’t know there was a Tweed version of Stroll! I can see it working really well for the Hermione socks. I have so much yarn already, but I might have to try it. I’m making a tank top in KnitPicks CotLin right now. I’ve never knit with cotton before, but it’s way nicer than I imagined

Also section 274 is so relatable. "Things that bother me don't bother others, but then I am relaxed about norms that others consider sacrosanct." I wrote almost the exact same thing the other day for a blog I haven't posted yet

The stash is so so real 😭 I sometimes fear I will never knit it all in my natural life. What pattern are you making in cotlin? I have been worried too that my years of knitting many many washcloths have made me assume that using blends will feel rough but I hear they wash softer and softer in time which makes me excited to give it a whirl.

I hope to read your thoughts too about the inverse feeling because I swear like certain work things of sensory stuff makes me prickly and then people freak out about some thing or another and I shrug like, ohhh that's no biggie! It's confusing sometimes >.<

I'm making the Typical Tank from Tiffany Liew. :)
