I have no idea why. At first, I thought it was a soup recipe. We ate it like soup but added some pasta.

My main complaint about the recipe is that I didn't need one to make this. It was fine, just very basic.

I added mushrooms and a little bullion and paired the soup with grilled cheese. It was OK, but wouldn't be an adequate meal without the sandwich. 2 people had almost no leftovers, which means we both ate a lot of butter. In the future, i'd add some sort of greens and beans to make this a meal.

I'm making this and we will see how it goes

It's a tutorial!

It's almost as ridiculous as the way physicists at University research facilities treat the knitting machine technicians who are, generally, the ones actually doing the stitch development and engineering, not just the mathematics to explain the fabric.

Obviously physicists, especially those who knit, understand knitting as well as anyone else. They just can't quantify some of these properties using mathematical expressions yet. I don't know why all the knitters are acting like they can do physics better than the physicists.

Anyone with eyes can see straight through a pair of pantyhose, but the only formulas that could explain the properties of knit fabric assumed that the fabric was 100% dense and as the yarn traveled across each row of fabric it had to touch the other yarns.

I often tell my knitting students that physicists are stupid for not discovering that yarn can slide until the year 2015. The example I give is pantyhose. They are made out of a non-stretch filament, yet the fabric stretches because yarn is able to slide between the stitches.

I read the whole thread before asking this. There were two firsthand accounts of bugs in yarn. The rest were people saying they found bugs months after stashing the yarn, secondhand accounts, and speculation about the bedbug situation in the city of Columbus.

Idk why they can only use brown. I'm not a cowboy. NYC wants bags with black leather accents.

I saw the one post on reddit, but no other people affected. Bugs can also get in through the mail. Have we confirmed that there are multiple shipments from the knitpicks warehouse with this problem?

Is this real? Please tell me that you got them to make canvas bags with BLACK leather accents.
