Ooh looking good. What songs are they playing at karaoke?

Various dance mixes of popular tunes (Abba, Whitney Houston - think the kind of thing you'd hear at a Pride festival except nowhere near as enjoyable lol) plus a bunch of actual dance tunes. So far I've heard the Whitney song 4 times in the past hour. Drunk people do ridiculous things.

Edit: now we're on #5. Send help.
 
Are they decent singers or butchering them?
 
Oh if it was up to me I'd have my earbuds in and I wouldn't hear a thing. Except I'm supposed to be waiting on someone turning up to give me my meds which means I need to hear if someone's at the door.

However, I think he's forgotten he's meant to give me my meds tonight because he's put my meds sheet under the door (new week) and then gone to do someone else's meds and hasn't come back. Somebody's getting an angry phonecall in the morning.
 
I think I’ve finally settled on finished measurements. Now to do the actual maths of how many rows and stitches etc. And decide whether to try working from the bottom up or just stick to what I know.7E3B177F-02CE-46C1-8061-87974B201224.webp

Blimey! That looks complicated. Never done that always gone from the pattern. I wouldn't know where to start!

It’s not too bad actually. You use the gauge and your measurements to work out the number of stitches. There’s a jumper I saw on tv that I want to try and reproduce. I think it was drop shoulder.
 
Not sure you can call this a craft but I'm big into modifying cars ... yes I'm female!

This was my beloved show car , Arby, before her engine blew up and she went to the big scrap heap in the sky 😭

I'm now currently halfway through building a road legal mk2 Ford Focus hatch back 😁
 
I am in awe of your knitting skills @Betsy and @Siikibam .

My ability to knit is limited to casting on and then failing to knit even a simple square. I enjoy the handiwork of those with your talents

If you can cast on you’re a third of the way there. You can always try again with bigger needles and yarn if you want. If you drop a stitch along the way it’s okay. You can say it was part of it 😁

I'll teach you how to knit if we make it up to see you in July - I've not failed yet!

I’ve finally started on a jumper for my uncle. I’m going to try knitting it bottom up so wish me luck 🥴View attachment 142711

Confused! 🤔 which end are you starting at? Bottom or neck? And double points too. You're brave! Are you doing the main jumper on a circular needle? ( Thing of the devil!)
 
I’m working on the sleeve first and going cuff up. I prefer double pointed to magic loop - I can’t seem to keep my tension! And yes I’ll be using the thing of the devil 🤣 how else can I work in the round?! I may try a seamed one this year maybe.

I’m off to restart because the cast on was too stretchy - I used the German twist but will change to long tail.

This sounds like a totally separate language to me, just wish I could knit x
 
Here's some pictures I drew of guinea pigs. I hope you like them 🙂

This one isn't of a particular piggie but I'm hoping to draw my Eddie and Elvis in this cartoony style

And here's a WIP of Eddie and Elvis. I've only done half of Elvis at this point but I'm really happy with it so far. I don't know when I'll get round to finishing it I have a habit of starting drawings and never coming back to them 🙄

Eh?!?!? do you mind speaking English?

I thought you speak knit 🤣 I used the German twist cast on, which is a little stretchier than the normal long tail cast on. But I frogged and used the long tail cast on along with less stitches. That more English? 😁

I do speak knit but I don't know how to do either of those. I just use the two needle cast on. Just looked both of those up on YouTube.

😳what’s the two needle cast on?! 🏃🏾‍♀️ off to look up on YouTube

ETA are you quick? It looks a little slow going if you have to cast on 200+ stitches!
