Looking forward to it! I'm hoping to jump right in with La La Luna Sea, will just have to see what tomorrow brings.
myNoise.net: customizable soundscapes
myNoise sets the standard for online background noise machines and interactive soundscapes.
I've been listening to this site for about a decade and absolutely love it. It's made by a sound engineer who makes music, drones, white noise, field recordings, etc., sometimes with the cooperation of other artists. The site allows you to adjust a soundscape to your liking, and you can take individual audio tracks from multiple soundscapes to create your own composites, too.
I called UPS to protest a $100 fee charged on an under-$300 item. They discounted the brokerage portion of the fee by half for me (wow, so generous), which I paid over the phone, and I requested they hold the parcel at one of their locations for me to pick up because it was a Christmas present for my housemate.
So of course they delivered it to the door, my housemate answered, the delivery person cheerfully announced what the thing was that had just arrived, and charged her the full $100 fee right there.
I spent six months contesting this double-charge and finally scraped back enough from them to constitute a proper refund for her only a few weeks ago. I talked to nine different representatives over the phone and had to explain the situation three different times to the same representative over email. UPS's indifference and incompetence is staggering.
And a seasonal one in Lord Roberts that's going these days, every Wednesday from 4-8pm. https://www.directfarmmanitoba.ca/markets/south-osborne-farmers-market/
Same here! It's a lovely pattern and the seed stitch along the edge looks great with it.
Thanks! I got info on how to do the edging from these project notes: https://www.ravelry.com/projects/nasamuffin/counting-sheep-blanket I guess I should have included these things in the post, haha.
It is indeed! It's from a section of the Il Burato scarf here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/il-burato
I love that name for a white cat, chef's kiss.
Nice! I love the texture on the heel flaps.
Also there's a knitting community over at https://lemmy.world/c/knitting if you're interested.
The process for double knitting takes some getting used to, but broken down, it's basically two layers of stockinette with the wrong sides facing each other — so you do a knit in the current side's main colour, then a purl in the contrasting colour, and that's effectively one stitch!
Knitting communities need some pictures, right?
Here's a WIP to cure the blank page! It will probably turn into a headband for when the weather stops being 30°C and starts being -30°C. Hope to see more people come along shortly. :D
