DC area checking in. They are super popular right now, especially roasted or deep fried. Fortunately, I haven't seen anyone serving the boiled nasties my mom used to make...

Hey, it's the only thing I remember from linear algebra! That's the longest living sheep ever.

I've learned I really don't like large needles in c/knitting@lemmy.world

That looks fabulous! I really like the big stitched and the drape. You are all set for winter. :)

I love the bunny kicks. They are so dangerous, but so adorable...

Taffy is very cute! Is that belly a trap, or can you pet it?

Ooh, I forgot about Sheetz. They used to have good breakfast sandwiches. I've never made it to a buc-ees, but I've heard good things.

Yeah, most of them do double duty with a shop inside. The snacks and drinks usually have a high markup, but there aren't a lot of free-standing minimarkets except for a few 7-11s.

Then there's Wawa, which is the weird outlier. :) I think they sell gas as a side business. The inside is all about getting food.

Jumping on the January sock train (lemmy.nz)
 

It's summer in the southern hemisphere. Perfect time to knit a pair of wool socks!! This is a toe up, 3x1 rib sock with fish lips short row heel. Probably too bulky to go in shoes, but I can wear them around the house when it's cooler out.

Yarn is Naturally Gallipoli from the craft store. It feels a lot nicer than I expected.

[SUMMER KNITS] purl soho criss cross top (lemmy.nz)
 

I made the criss cross top pattern a few years ago on my lk-150 knitting machine. I converted it to knit flat and match my gauge using knit picks cotlin.

The ribbing and cable are hand manipulated, which involves changing the orientation of stitches (purls to knits) and moving the individual stitches to different needles on the needle bed. It was pretty tricky to do the big 9x9 cable cross on the machine because it couldn't stretch the yarn across the needle distance. I ended up hand sewing shut the large holes on either side when I did the finishing.

I think it came out nice, but I don't really wear sleeveless tops. It just hangs out in my closet collecting dust. :)
