Anyone love mysteries set in the 1950's?I can't recommend @playwrightsteve.bsky.social Stephen Spotswood's series enough. Pentacost and Parker, two detective gals who solve murders; one has serious intution and MS, the other worked in the circus and is a crack shot. And lots of diverse relationships

New knitter here... My first sock had tons of mistakes but the second one is easier. Imagine that! 🧶 I'm trying to learn dpns, 9" circs and magic loop. It'd be nice to use the easiest method. 😳😉

I found the video helpful only when I couldn't get a certain stitch clear from a book, otherwise I don't watch videos. I have started a sock (new knitter here) on 9" circulars.. The cuff has a million errors but I'm keeping on...need to learn this. I like this better than dpns!
