We were all taught basic knitting in school when I was a kid, alongside sewing and all. But I think I stuck with it because my mom likes to knit and helped me whenever I lost a knit or got confused. It was pretty simple to figure out stuff after you learn to read the knits though and after that I’ve been learning new techniques from YouTube whenever a pattern requires it. But I would probably still credit those school lessons for providing me with the tools and materials to try so I could then look more into it myself to really learn!

I knit a matching set of hat, mittens and a thick scarf for me and my boyfriend this Christmas, I can’t wait for him to open them up and see that we can match! I think another cute idea could be knee socks for a family member who might feel chilly at home during winter, I know my mom preferred something that covered more leg since it helps warm up the blood flow better. I have not yet tackled a sweater project but a sweater or cardigan could be a valued gift too. Another good idea for winter would be a throw blanket although that plan would need a bit more time to prepare for, haha.

This person has too much power at their fingertips the animation looks just beautiful and the shader is great even when the illusion breaks at spots. Hope to see some of my favorites animated by him one day! Thank you for linking this, I wouldn’t have otherwise noticed

I think the carcinogenic part is exaggeated but there has been multiple studies suggesting that aspartame makes you gain more weight and it affects your body’s ability to process sugars so it’s still not healthy

Personally I’m feeling off put by Hasbro trying to push G.I. Joe on the fans who could not care less about it. They learned nothing from the success of MTMTE and Lost Light which were so great because it focused on the stories of the Cybertronians themselves and kept humans far away. People are still creating content for IDW1 thanks to those series.

The first issue had me mostly annoyed, and I’m dreading that they miss the whole point of what makes transformers great. But I’m still hoping that after so many years we could finally get good transformers content after all the mediocre stuff.
