Retoin, won't you retoin my love?
My love is yours
My Clinical Microbiology teacher: I'm no longer allowed to teach you how to waft plates, but... if you happen to catch a whiff of ____ growing on a plate, you would smell ____. ::wink, wink::
15 minute drive to the store, better grab my knitting
This overlooks that 100% cotton jeans will break down when they are discarded (unlike polyester and nylon). A good pair of jeans can be mended and worn for many years instead of a new pair every year. Jeans can lead a very useful "after life" as insulation or be recycled into new fabric.
It also ignores the chemicals and energy required to turn beechwood and bamboo into wearable fabric.
I don't know what the solution is but natural fabrics aren't the enemy.
That is such a cool concept!
No, I was trying to use up some left overs. I tried again with fewer stitches and it gave me the fit I was after.
Over blocked or missed my gauge, who knows but this was too much. It was frogged for it's sin.
I discovered that my most spectacular knitting fails have no picture evidence... The one that bums me out, I could have sworn I took a picture, a failed unicorn horn. I knit a unicorn horn to attach to a hoodie and wanted to have the spiral up the horn. I knit the horn, threaded yarn around through the stitches, and pulled it to create the 3D effect. The tip of the horn looked very NSFW.
TX had similar bullshit (nothing until 11) when I was there working overnights. It's my 8pm. I've been up keeping patients alive all night. Make my drink.
Gotcha! I've stuck with Samsung because they make a phone that will fit in the pathetic excuse that is women's pants pockets. My husband tried to get me to switch to the Pixel but it was too big.
My Samsung does it very easily with decent customization options in Gallery (and has for at least two phones). What phone are you using that can't? I agree the collage feature in Google photos is lame.
Well how do we know that any scale at all is right?
My lab has weights that get calibrated against a NIST standard annually. We use those weights to perform daily quality control that our scale is accurate (to +/- 0.01g). If the quality control fails then we recalibrate the scale.
They look great! I love the stitch pattern
Everyone is having fun with AI so I used my medium of choice.
Thesesocks are knit from the heel out, grafted together to make a tube, and then the toe and cuff are picked up and knit. No one believed me when they saw my project when I told them it was a sock. I felt the urge to sacrifice a chicken before grafting because I wasn't sure it was going to work.
I would say Go Hawks! But it is not that kind of a season this season... 🫣😭
I've always wondered WTF they were doing when they come up with that process?
I finished my brain candy stripey hat.
I made these hats for my twins. They didn't get to wear them long because the stitch pattern didn't stretch much but the hats made for adorable newborn photos.
I scoured my ravelry account and the ONLY explicitly Halloween thing I've ever knit is this scarf whose progress was chronicled here. Lots of animal/character hats, but I don't think of them as Halloween-y.
the sock. I had been knitting for years and decided that no plain sock would do for my first.
I know the new theme went up this morning but I forgot that these fit the homewares theme.
In the US, it is an Individual Donor Assessment and applies to everyone. Everyone gets the same question tree, regardless of sexual orientation. If you have had a new partner in the last 3 months or have multiple partners that doesn't defer you, it sends you to the next tier of question: have you engaged in anal sex. Yes to anal with a new partner or multiple partners is the deferral. If you haven't had a new partner or multiple partners in the last 3 months, you will not be asked about anal sex. Canada went live with their individual donor assessment a year before the US and has noted a slight drop in donations in straight donors because they are now being deferred for high risk activity when they were previously missed.
Prep is listed under a medication deferral. First responders that take prep for protection from workplace exposure are deferred as well.
