(1/3) I spent a good portion of 2024 on what was one of the best experiences in my entire life, turned into one of the most precious memories. #odysseuslarp is a Finnish live-action role-playing game created by a team of ~200 volunteers, for over 300 players in total. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCkf...

Have you played Odysseus? What group did your character belong to? Medics, Marines, Civilians, Bridge, Velians, Engineers, Pilots, or Scientists? And do you remember what planet your character was from?

If you haven't yet played Odysseus, what character group is most interesting to you and why?

When a pattern tells us to bind off stitches at the beginning of every other row, and we follow those instructions without any adjustments, it usually results in an edge that looks a lot like stair steps.

Hollow ribbing is not really a ribbing. It’s a double knitted fabric that resembles ribbing, behaves somewhat like ribbing and is often used instead of ribbing. 
Hollow ribbing makes beautiful cuffs, hat brims, neck bands, button bands and belts.

The Most Important Knitting Skill

In almost ten years that I’ve been teaching people to knit, I noticed that most beginner (and not just beginner) mistakes happened because of the lack of understanding how the knitted fabric is created.

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!
“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!
