So I want to knit up an all-over lace top, which is originally made with two strands of Lang Yarns Mohair Luxe. I've been searching for non-animal alternatives for quite a while now. My best bet might be Lammy Soft Sensation, but as it's rather cheap I'm afraid it might also look and feel cheap. Does anyone have experience with it? The reviews I can find online are rather scarce.

Also been looking into Alize Cotton Gold and Hobbii Amigo. They're not exactly mohair-y but might provide a little fluff and, more importantly, softness.

What do you think? Are there better options? TIA!

Die Umfrage wird jetzt also so oft bei gestartet, bis die das Ergebnis bekommen, das sie wollen? Das klingt für mich aber schwer nach einem nie gesehenen Ausmaß an krimineller Energie.

Du trinkst Tee, damit es dir gut geht.

Ich trinke Tee, damit es mir weniger beschissen geht.

Wir sind nicht gleich.

Wait a minute... Does the name of the currency come from payments that were not counted but weighed? Gotta check.

ETA: Oh my gosh yes, one pound sterling (currency) was originally one pound (weight) of sterling silver. I'm probably the last person to discover this, but still that's pretty cool.

I'm absolutely a dog person, still I wouldn't allow dogs in my bedroom, let alone on the bed. While the first is just a bit bothersome, I think the second one to be pretty icky.

This is so sad. We need a better plan to implement these goals, keeping things as easy and profitable as possible, not abandon them altogether. Now I fear we're at another point of just doing nothing, making matters worse each year for everyone, especially farmers.

Is this some kind of American joke that I'm too European to understand?

Weil Hamburg nur Teil Holsteins war, solange es selbst noch nichts zu melden hatte. Es hat sich schnell zu einer "Freien Stadt" entwickelt, deren Unabhängigkeit Dänemark anerkennen musste. So hätte zum Zeitpunkt der Einigkeit von Schleswig und Holstein keiner mehr gesagt "Also eigentlich müsste Hamburg auch dazu gehören." Das war einfach kein Thema mehr. Also stand es als Hauptstadt auch nie zur Debatte.

Kurzum: Weil Hamburg nicht in Schleswig-Holstein ist.

They're really just socks for adults but in oh so tiny. The little man's favorite color was green at the time and he still always took off his socks off everwhere. But not these babies! They were his favorite as long as they fit. They're made from acrylic iirc.

Or maybe they were creeped out because you said things way too mature

That's a really misleading article. Badly written and polarizing by leaving out crucial information. It's basically clickbait.

The GDP per capita, adjusted for purchasing power, in the US was at $76,398.6 in 2022, while the Euro Area had $56,494.2 and the EU $54,248.6. A gap is there but it's not nearly as dramatic as this article makes it sound.

(I'm sure most of you know this, but I'm still clarifying for the few who don't.)

Wanted to knit a summer stop with some spare yarn. It's still missing some fabric at the decollete and I've just run out of yarn. Tried to substitute with a different yarn (the light one at the very top) but it's not quite working. Guess it's frogging time! 🐸

Hey beautiful people, need to vent a bit. Figured you might understand + we need a bit activity. (Just hope it's not entirely dead.)

I'm currently at hour 28 of my most recent attack. As a chronic sufferer I'm in pain more or less all the time, so I'm calling the really severe ones "attacks". So it's been 28 hours and the triptanes aren't working anymore. I'm so exhausted and tired by now and my head's not working properly. Migraine makes me stupid. I didn't even manage to call in sick today. I'm just lying around doing literally nothing, focused on not dying.

Now the major problem is I need to go to a doc to get a sick note, otherwise my hours for yesterday and today are lost and I'd need to work overtime next week. But how am I supposed to physically get there? I'm inable to get myself a freaking glass of water, but driving through the whole city and then sitting in a crowded room for hours full of sick people coughing and talking while the light flickers, only to get "headache? Oh that sucks. You better stay home" by the doc is fine? Does that even follow any logic?

So yeah I guess I'm just taking the hours. Even though I lost my last job because of this specific reason. Migraine sucks.

Thanks for coming to my vent or something and have a great day for me!

Not sure if it's something in my settings, a bug or the feature was removed, but I can't seem to collapse comments anymore. That's a bummer. Anyone else having this problem or more info on it?

Edit: So in different comment thread it suddenly worked again. Guess it's a bug.

I can't post any pics I've taken myself or screenshots. Can post downloads and pics sent to me though. So I need to message them to myself and save as duplicate in order to post.
