Well yeah. That's true. A worsted woolen spun tweed is not going to make the same fabric as a worsted weight worsted spun yarn. Oh yes, worsted is a weight, but also a spinning style   Yes it all gets remarkably easier with experience. For best results, I suppose it makes sense to take advice from the pattern makers until you have enough experience to go off script. I do think people used to knit without patterns, and some still do. I'm not that experienced, though.

I don't mind gore, but stupidity and cheap jump scares annoy me.

No I got you. That was the strange part. And that yarn weight is not the same as weight weight. And that yarn weight is not even remotely related to weight or density, it's more like the diameter when tight. It's fine, only incredibly inconsistent.   Exactly. Roughly being the key word. 😉   It makes me think that it's because grannies are the ones traditionally knitting, and this is also how they bake. Whenever I ask for a recipe it's like - add eggs, flour and sugar and mix until it feels right then bake it until it's done. 😛 

Day three:    ✅🔁🔁 Goal 1 -- Normally this would be Core HIT day and Friday would be Big 5 HIT day, but we're trying something new this week and combining the HIT workouts into one on Thursday. The rationale is to have just a little more recovery time between all the workouts. We'll see how it goes. ✅✅🔁 Goal 2 -- Woke up to rain, so I took the train.  🔁🔁🔁 Goal 3 -- No. 🔁🔁🔁 Goal 4 -- Moving the workout may get in the way of tomorrow's planned social gathering, but we'll see.  Hopefully not.   Welcome to Wednesday!

They are nuttier than the usual white mushrooms we gets everywhere and are great in stews, sauces or cooked on their own. We make this awesome chicken pasta dish with them i adore. Uses a thickened stock based sauce with the chicken mushroom and veg in. One of my favourite meals.      There is always at least one. One of the reasons ive converted to hoodies with a central zip.   Kindle and or a phone book app are a must.    I was hoping to make the most of the last warm and dry weather, so major pain in the…leg.  definetly up for a party, but no dancing yet 😆

Looks interesting definitely.    I can do comedy horror movies and older ones. But most of the new stuff (that isn't based on victorian gothic novels) is a bit chainsaw murder house for me. I could probably watch the shining (I've seen enough chunks of it at this point to say that) and i like vampire and werewolf films (preferably good quality) or monster from the black lagoon type stuff.  mostly i oscillate between it being too gory and yelling “why the hades would you go out there!” At the characters who do the stupid thing. 

Week 5 Tuesday Stairs workout (+10 xp) for a melee attack. 20 to hit and 8 damage. Chopped more blackberries (and attempted to pull out a few roots, but they'll probably come back). Rolled a natural 20 on the dex check (total of 23) for the arrow attempt, so that's a success! Also, the first time I rolled a natural 20 with my dice! I think I'll wait to narrate that part though. It doesn't really make sense to be making arrows in the middle of combat. I've already decided I'll have to split the story next challenge because it will make even less sense with all the things I'm planning then. Candles and teeth happened, so short rest.   Needle Blight 5: 10 hp Feathers: 24 Arrows: 1 successful (DC 18) Short Rests: 25 Week 5: 23 xp   The Needle Blight charged in, but Hal drove it back with a solid stab from her shortsword.

I hear you on that. I might skip that one as well for similar reasons.

When they spin together fibres of different colours to create a slightly inconsistent final colour. Other yarns are spun first, then dyed.       Oh, I meant yarn is priced by gram, not meter. Yarn weight (aran, DK, sport) does correlate *roughly* to length, and it will also give you a rough idea of what needle size you'll want and how fine or thick the fabric will be. With experience you'll know roughly what the finished fabrics will look like. But for now, I'd say just choose a yarn of the same weight category as the pattern, then buy the amount in meters that the pattern says (possibly with a little extra to avoid running out).   You can recreate a pattern with a different weight, but there is some maths and fiddling.

Of course!   ?   That was very confusing to me. It still is. I can see the advantage of weight because it's much easier to measure. But it doesn't seem to translate to anything. It doesn't necessarily translate to a length or a yarn weight or anything really. But I also couldn't think of a good measurement as there's so many factors involved in determining how much yarn you need. In the end it seems to come down to XP.
