Hmm... I think they should use someone like Scorpia - she has a bigger draw, and they NEED that kind of draw.
I do want a figure of her, but only if we get Flutterina first... they have to battle.
And if you do want her, how would you like her release? Sub lure for 2014, Travel Con exclusive, SDCC exclusive, general monthly slot?

Honestly.. No. A weird variant shera/adora... instead of someone else... EASY PASS... give me the core vintage, pop, & NA figures before ANY more variants!

I only hit 'no' as it came right before 'who?'...hadda go look her up, even...
I tend to agree with Replikor: we need more core characters in plastic before something like this!
Easy no for me. If they ever get to a Force Captain Adora variant, I want the UK version, not Despara. I really don't like the new comic designs.
I voted yes. I wouldn't mind if she was a exclusive, like the travelling one or SDCC, or even the sub exclusive.
I would rather have her over another He-Man variant exclusive.
We were specifically told that Dare would not be in 2014-2015, see the words straight from Scott here: http://forums.mattycollector.com/eve...808#9101046808
I don't want Despera/Despara taking up a valuable slot that otherwise should go to Castaspella, Glimmer, Queen Angella, Mermista, Double Trouble, Sweet Bee, Peekablue, Flutterina, Spinnerella, Entrapta, Toy-Design She-Ra, Toy-Design Catra, Madame Razz, Kowl, Sea Hawk, Scorpia or even Perfuma.
But, if there was some "new" slot created for a "new DC Comics" action figure, then Despera/Despara would be a cool addition to MOTUC, especially as there appears to be general support for a Force Captain Adora action figure (although mainly based on the design from a vintage comic from memory).

I voted "yes", but I don't want her to replace Madame Razz, Flutterina or Perfuma. I need them in my Great Rebellion.

No...I don't want her. There are so many characters left...also important variants like Filmation Hordak, 200X Evil-Lyn...mini Comic characters like Lodar... which could be all wonderful Sub Exclusives!!
So if the line ends we may have a Despera but no Delora, Mara, Crita, Entrapta or Flutterina (!!!)
Sorry guys but NO to Despera until we get the important girls!!!
Yes, but only if the figure comes in some non-regular slot....be it sub exclusive, SDCC or other con exclusive, a variant slot. I don't want her if it means giving up a regular slot, though.
No clue who she is...

Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
No, I don't care for comics anyway, but if anything I would prefer a Vintage comic character before a brand new character, not everyone knows or cares about. Too many much more wanted Vintage MOTU & POP figures I'd prefer to see first. Besides 2014 is supposed to be for Vintage & POP Heavy Hitters, and since only some know who she even is, I personally wouldn't even classify her as a Bench Warmer.
It's not that I object to her fans getting her, it's that I object to any new never existed before 2012 / 2013 character having any part of the sub for next year. Maybe an SDCC exclusive, but no sub or out of sub monthly figure.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!
I would love to have her. I like her so much that I made her 5 days after she appeared in her digital comic. I want everything made, so I guess I am the wrong person to give his opinion.

Be sure to read Book of Evil Part 2: The Bells of Doom, only in the He-Man.org Fan Fic & Media forums!
I would eventually like this character, but not in 2014. There way to many other characters I would like to have before her.
I'd take her happily, but wouldn't lose sleep if we don't get her.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Simply.... if they make Eldor this year's 2013 SDCC exclusive, make her the 2014 SDCC Exclusive, with the comic she is going to be a prominent piece in the revival and interest in this property (as far as the comics go for the present time). So run with the ball on this Mattel!!!
Keep the slots for our completion of the Core Characters.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
I wouldnt mind her but prefer characters like Scorpia, Eldor, or Dare over her.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
I'm going to say no. there are just so many motu characters left to go.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
I agree. IMO the Classicized version of this character would be UK comics version not the DC redesign. I'd welcome some elements from the DC redesign like the helmet or swords, maybe even a short haired head as you could always use the original Adora head, maybe even used the Depera name, but a Classics version of this figure should look more like the vintage UK comics version.
But either way I'm not fussed about a figure of her in Classics at this point.
MOTUC NA Most Wanted: Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Hoove, Lizorr
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
I voted No. The Horde have to many female members already. I would prefer a snake girl instead.
No. However, that is not to say I don't want her at all. It is just in regards to wanting her in 2014. In 2015, assuming I get a big chunk of characters I want first in 2013-2014, I'd be more open to receiving her.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.

Monday, November 12, 2012
President Obama's re-election has prompted a wide variety of reactions in Alabama including several thousand people who say they want the state to secede from the union.
Citizens from more than 20 states have filed petitions on the White House's official petition website since the day after election day, all seeking to secede from the country. And before you dismiss this as just a fringe movement, the petition seeking Alabama's independence has more than 8,000 signatures so far. The White House website allows anyone to post a petition asking the federal government for anything, but you have to have at least 150 online signatures just to be posted on the site. So at least that many people signed on almost immediately after President Obama was re-elected to ask the government to "Peacefully grant the State of Alabama to withdraw from the United States of America and create its own NEW government." "When it comes to some of the hot button issues we saw in this campaign, all we're hearing now is 'Republicans and Democrats are trying to find a way to come together,'" said Birmingham-Southern College political science professor Dr. Natalie Davis. "Then we see this article and it says 'well, maybe we're not in that game.'" Davis says she can't speak for other states' secession petitions online, but for Alabama, she sees seeds of the state's past, but also a future that's frightening for some. "It is interesting that there is a level of fear and alienation on the part of our state. Part of it has to do with some of the things we hate to talk about. About race, about the relationship between the federal government and state government. 'Don't tread on me,' that's part of our culture, and maybe some people err on the side of going just a little too far with it. And maybe some of them are nut jobs. But the truth is, a lot of what these folks say resonate with some people. On the other side of the coin, you get this response which is 'you people are laughable.'" For the White House to even officially accept a petition and look at it, the petition has to get 25-thousand signatures in a month. so this alabama petition needs about 17,000 more signatures by Dec. 9 or it will just disappear into the Internet archive forever.

This item is part of the (5000) Series
Micro-particulate filter for the 5000 series D and DX models.
The AllerAir Difference
AllerAir is proud to offer air purifiers that feature the deepest carbon beds on the market, made up of actual granular pieces of carbon, not crushed carbon. The lifespan of their carbon is far greater than many competitors, and has an unparalleled absorption capacity. AllerAir units have metal housing, not plastic ones, and are designed with powder-coated paint, preventing any off gassing. Their carbon filters are also lined with two additional pre-filters, providing increased filtration, and extending the performance of the HEPA filter. The carbon canisters are also refillable, making AllerAir units some of the most environmentally friendly and cost effective units on the market.
Established in 1996, AllerAir Industries has the heart of a family business, with the mindset of a fortune 500 competitor. When a close family member was diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), President Sam Teitelbaum set out to research and develop an air purifier that would provide safe and effective relief. Along with partner, Wayne Martin, this initiative quickly established AllerAir in the industry. Now with offices in the U.S. and Canada, a committed team of employees and Indoor Air Quality Experts, AllerAir has become a prominent leader with units used in residential, business, and commercial applications alike. Institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, Boeing Aircraft and the U.S. Army are just some of their higher profile customers.

Problem Dry Skin Cream
Without question, regular use of this product will produce smoother, softer skin.
Ultra Moisturizing Face Cream
This fragrance-free exfoliant contains a small mix of beneficial ingredients and its cream base provides some hydration.
Add to Faves?
NeoStrata At-A-Glance
Strengths: Huge assortment of AHA and PHA exfoliants; a couple good cleansers; some excellent moisturizers; several fragrance-free products.
Weaknesses: No BHA products (better for blemish-prone skin or for those who can't tolerate AHAs or PHA); use of jar packaging compromises some of the formulas; irritating ingredients make an appearance in several products.
Exfoliation is the name of the game for this line! The original NeoStrata and Exuviance brands were created by Drs. Eugene Van Scott and Ruey Yu, the two researchers who own the original patent (actually, they hold over 80 patents) for the use of glycolic acid (AHA) in relation to its ability to diminish wrinkles, among other capabilities. Few lines offer reliable and effective formulations for exfoliation, so those that do deserve your attention. Well-formulated AHA products are those that have an effective concentration of AHAs and a base with an acidic pH that allows them to have maximum benefit. The exfoliation that AHAs provide reduces the thickness of the skin's outer layer, helping skin to quickly look smoother and feel softer, which in turn can solve many skin problems, including dryness, blemishes, sun damage, and skin discolorations. A good deal of research also shows that AHAs can help increase the thickness of the underlying layers of skin, improve skin structure, increase collagen production, and allow penetration of other skin-care ingredients. Moreover, NeoStrata is one of the only companies to sell a range of reliable sunscreens that also contain effective AHA formulations.
Both the Exuviance (Exuviance products are reviewed separately), NeoCeuticals and NeoStrata lines contain glycolic acid (AHA), but even more of these products contain a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) called gluconolactone (also patented by Scott and Yu), and for which similar claims are made. Gluconolactone is supposed to be gentler and longer acting than glycolic acid, and its delayed penetration is attributed to its larger molecular size. However, according to an article in Cosmetic Dermatology (July 1998), the skin can't tell the difference between the various effective AHAs, and the possibility of gluconolactone staying on the surface of skin longer than other AHAs did not prove out. So in terms of exfoliation and potential side effects, PHA ends up being as good as AHA. Gluconolactone may be slightly less irritating for some skin types, but this isn't quite the magic bullet for exfoliation NeoStrata claims, though it does indeed work when properly formulated (but so do glycolic and lactic acids). Another PHA NeoStrata uses is lactobionic acid. However, there is no definitive, published research establishing it as an effective alternative to (or partner for) other AHAs or BHA.
Beyond the numerous products that exfoliate (which is NeoStrata's main selling point) there's not much to get excited about, especially for what the company is charging. And it's upsetting that a dermatologist-driven, physician-sold line still has weak spots such as the occasional inclusion of irritating ingredients with no established benefit for skin and, believe it or not, a sunscreen that leaves skin vulnerable to UVA damage. NeoStrata has their act together when it comes to AHAs and PHA, but that tunnel vision has, in some respects, kept them from branching out to offer a better assortment of state-of-the-art products.
For more information about NeoStrata, call (800) 225-9411 or visit www.neostrata.com.
Note: NeoStrata's range of products is advertised as being available only through physicians. However, the entire selection is available for purchase online. The Exuviance brand is sold in select department stores and specialty beauty boutiques such as Ulta.
Caution: Keep in mind that skin needs only one reliable exfoliant at a time. NeoStrata sells so many good ones, you may be tempted to double (or triple) up, but doing so can backfire and be more irritating than helpful.

Letters to the Editor: East Rockaway, Lynbrook

Great job Elizabeth. We need increased police patrols in East Rockaway right away. The recent robberies of the convenience store and Chase bank highlight the importance of immediate action. As it is now, there seem to no police patrols at all. This needs to be addressed quickly before crime really takes hold here. If allowed to continue, East Rockaway will end up as another crime infested neighborhood in Nassau. lifelongER
Why not sign an agreement with Lynbrook or Malverne to have them police East Rockaway as well? justmorehotair
And now Paul's Dry Cleaner just got robbed. When will the NCPD decide to patrol East Rockaway? How many more robberies will it take to produce police action? |

LinaDream Come True!!!!This product is awesome! Ive only used it for a week and except for the Emoji Tweeze, i havent used any other epilators, but its great! It removes hair and whereas with waxing (proffessional waxing) it took only days for hair in some areas to grow back, with this, my skin is still silky smooth...and of course when hair does show up, i can easily remove it again, not pay $100 to have it waxed again. Dont kid yourself, it does hurt...if you are looking for an epilator that actually pulls out your hair, it WILL hurt!!!Nature of the beast Im afraid. The great thing though (and it hurts BAD the first time) the more you use it the less it hurts, because your hair follicles get accustomed to it. I recommend starting with the starter head, it has less tweezers...I know tough for the impatient, but it gets your skin used to the tweexing so that you can switch to the regular head and it will be bearable to use.This thing does pinch if the skin is not tight enough. one of the areas on my thigh where the skin was very thin got pinched...just be careful and keep the skin tight. DO NOT use it on the extremely delicate areas down there, this thing is too strong! If you want to do a home made brazillian...trim..carefully...and then use an Emoji Tweeze...much safer! for everything else, this product is a dream come true!posted May 7, 2008Link to this post
MandyBest Way To Remove HairIve tried a few methods: shaving (only lasted 3 days for me), waxing (messy & always painful), depilating (stinky! & paranoia about getting chemicals all over the bathroom), individual tweezing(who has the time?). Using this epilator has been the best by far. I read that waxing your hair before using it for the first time saves you some pain, but I was so excited to try it that I just went for it. The first time did hurt badly because I was using Veet before this, so my roots were pretty established and strong. Its definitely not the most painful thing youll ever experience in your life, and after the first few times it will barely bother you. The results are well worth it! Once you get used to the pulling/tweezing, the little massaging rollers really make it more comfortable and nice to use. Its also very noisy, but I dont think quiet epilators exist.posted Mar 29, 2008Link to this post
Darlene BetzLittlestown, PAWork Great But Ouch!I have always wanted one of these and maybe I just needed to be more patient so that the pain lessens. I have a quarter of my body tattooed and let me tell you...give me the tattoo pain anyday compared to this! OUCH! It works great but I wills tick to shaving:)posted Mar 13, 2008Link to this post
ShelbyNice Product, But Rough!this product works good and it gets all of the little baby hairs and impossibly short hairs that waxing misses. But, if you are going to use this, I definitely recommend waxing first. Then, when your hair starts growing back little by little, start using this product. then it wont be as painful. do not try to use this on a full amount of hair regrowth!My only complaint is I used it for the first time 3 weeks ago and now that those hairs are starting to grow back and they dont all break through the skin when they grow back now. its weird and it looks like stubble. What good is it to be hair free if you have something that looks like stubble all over your legs? lol. so Im trying to exfoliate to alleviate that problem. but its hard to do too much of that without making my legs look all red and irritated. I may go back to shaving for the summer and keep this around for the winter.posted Mar 5, 2008Link to this post
SarahMelbourneAwesomei love epilating! seriously! so much better than shaving or waxing! the Braun Silk Epil Xelle Body Epilation System did hurt the first time i used it, but i now im used to it and my hair has become softer and thinner and much less then there once was. im still not brave enough to use on bikini line because it does hurt, but epilating i would recommend to anyone for legs, definately! can be done in privacy of own home, easy, no mess, no waiting with hairy legs! fantastic!posted Feb 27, 2008Link to this post
PleasedTexasHair No MoreI wrote a review January 23, 2008 and I have a picture of the results of my new Braun. I love the way it leaves my skin so smooth. This is a great productposted Feb 4, 2008Link to this post
K MarinoThis Thing BitesDo yourself a favor ladies. Stay away from this thing.I wanted to use it to keep my bikini line smooth and clean.I would have been better off blasting..less pain I can assure you. It may be a bit more of a hassel to shaver but its a lot safer and a lot less painful.My God, what were they thinking when they come up with this thing. Would have been great for the Inquisition.KMposted Feb 4, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousPhiladelphiaExcellent First Time EpilatorI had been thinking about buying an epilator for a while, ever since my European boyfriend told me about them. Apparently they are very popular over there. I had never used one before, but Id become tired of shaving my legs all the time and having coarse stubble. I did some research and I waxed my legs before I tried the epilator. I really like the look and feel of this silk-epil. It is quite ergonomic and the light does come in handy. I think its a great value for the price, and it includes the other heads and a little bag to keep it all together. I did try my bikini area, but it really did hurt so Im thinking about buying some lidocaine spray. I get bikini waxes regularly, but since this isnt as quick as waxing, I hesitated. Also a bit scared to try on my underarms, but eventually I want to get to the point where I never shave again. I love this!posted Jan 25, 2008Link to this post
PleasedTexasHair Not There AnymoreI purchased this epilator a few days age through the internet. I am a guy who likes to have bare armpits and bare "down there" completely. I have been shaving for the past 2 years both areas. I was thinking of waxing but was not comfortable about someone in my groin area. I have plucked all of the hairs out at various time throughout the years. I used this in my entire groin except on my testies which I will continue to shave. There was some discomfort but no hair. I looked like a plucked chicken for a couple of days which is slowly going away. I did my arm pits and my groin was more uncomfortable I think. I love this product and I will say it is uncomfortable but very bearable.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post
MelissaGood But Don't Be FooledIve always preferred epilators to shaving or waxing and Braun is the best brand that Ive used. I would completely recommend this product.However, dont be fooled by the description - the kit does not include the narrow epilation head, facial set, or easy starter set as was originally listed. The Q&A is deceptive since there is a reply by "customer service" that says they are all included. The individual below that countered the response by customer service is correct.posted Jan 11, 2008Link to this post

Comments On Mar 21, 2015:I bought this tire after spending a day on a buddy's bike in the mud. I had ridden it before in sand and loam and liked it, but didn't see a huge advantage over my MX51. But after seeing how it handled in the mud as well, I was sold. Great all round tire. We do tons of riding on rocks too. Great grip, and holds up surprisingly well.

Comments On Feb 13, 2015:I decided to go for something new and different. I love Michelin in terms of sticky handling, but was concerned about their seemingly quicker than expected wear. Dunlop gave me the most durability and good traction but tended to slip out sometimes. So I thought I'd give the Pirelli Scorpions a shot. Bad decision. Two rides in and the back tire soon will need replacing likely after a third. Under heavy throttle, it breaks loose far sooner than any tire that's been on the bike, even the Bridgestones that came stock. Front tire gets better marks in terms of handling, and is wearing better than its rear counterpart. But neither tire comes close to the sticky feel of Michelins nor the great combination of good traction and bulletproof durability of the Dunlops. Save your money and skip the Pirellis. Every other tire I've had (Michelin, Dunlop and Bridgestone) is a far better buy and provides way more bang for the buck.

Comments On Oct 13, 2014:I rode this tire at 8 psi over 3 days and with many shock adjustments I could not get descent traction. When I received this tire I first read on the side wall "Heavy Duty" and with the tire unmounted I found it hard to flex the side walls with my foot. So I mounted it anyway. I was so used to using the Pirelli MT43 trials tire and its' superior traction that I am taking this Scorpion XC tire off promptly. I did not enjoy riding this past 3 days in Kelowna, BC where it was dirt and baseball size rocks. The tire bounced off rocks so badly like a solid rubber tire.I had poor up hill control compared to a trials tire. I saw so many riders at Bear Creek OHV using the MT43 and loving them.

Comments On Aug 11, 2014:I bought a Pirelli Scorpion XCMH back tire for my KTM.
After 3 rides the tire is almost done. It was used only in trail rides, with roots and some rocks. The traction wasn't that good and I had to ride it at 9 psi to actually get good traction.
They must have changed the compound since everybody says it's a good tire.
It's really really bad, I will never buy again Pirelli tires..

Comments On Aug 06, 2014:Compared to other tires I've had under the same circumstances, this tire wore out extremely quickly.
I bought them for a week of riding out in Colorado on the western slope (mix of rock and dirt) and the rear was almost done after two rides. After the whole week, it's more worn than any rear I've ever had on the bike. It's completely roached, and I don't ride like a maniac.
They provided decent grip and feel while they lasted, but WOW did the rear go away fast. The front seems to have worn pretty normally.

Comments On Aug 06, 2014:The front tire works great for me at 12 to 13 psi and is wearing very well. I will definitely use it again. The back tire has incredible grip. I found 8 psi to work best in the back. The rear wears pretty fast otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. DOT approved is a plus also.

Comments On Jun 02, 2014:I have used several of the soft-mid terrain tires and love them, so I decided to try the mid-hard tire, the traction when the tire is new is marginal at best. I destroyed this tire in one weekend. It wore out in less than 100 miles.

Comments On Dec 29, 2013:Did they change the compound? This tire seems to wear better than the last one I tried a couple years back. Really like the handling and holding up well after a dozen or so rides.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 10, 2013:I bought the front tire only. It's predictable and works fine in hard pack and sand. I put new tires front & rear on my bike, and this front is wearing at the same rate as the rear (Kenda trackmaster). Normally I have to replace 2 rears to one front, but pavement seems to sand this tire down quicker than I expected for a DOT tire.

You do not have the energy to get up to anything that doesn't involve making or eating food; even a shower is just too taxing. A pull out couch or futon is usually involved, as well as lots of pillows and blankets. Closely related to "Big Fat Fuck-a-Thon".

Crossing stitches: one way to avoid a hole on a vertical opening in knitwear
Illustration 1 shows the nature of the problem. Specifically, when two columns of stitches are to be separated, the only thing holding the fabric together under the separation is a single stand of yarn (illustrated in green). That single strand tends to stretch out, and will eventually leave a hole in this area.
Illustration 2 shows that by crossing the stitches in the row just under the separation, there will now be five strands of yarn to take the strain (green) rather than the single strand in illustration 1. (As to how to cross the stitches, the easiest way is probably to spear one stitch with a bobby pin and let it hang on the back or the front of the work, knit the next stitch, and then replace the stitch from the bobby pin onto the left needle, and then knit it. Whether you allow the bobby-pinned stitch to fall to the back or the front determines whether the front stitch of the crossed pair slants right or left)
Illustration 3 shows an application of this principle at the heel tab of a sock.
Illustration 4 shows crossed stitches at the bottom of a vertical opening such as a pocket slit or a vertical buttonhole, or at the bottom of a sleeve opening.
Illustration 5 is the same as illustration 4, but shown "in the wool." As you can see, the stitches are crossed differently in illustrations 4 and 5, and it is up to you to decide which way you like better--structurally, it makes no difference at all.
Crossing stitches makes a sturdy utility reinforcement--very good for socks, buttonholes, glove fingers, sleeve openings and children's clothing. However, this method makes a noticeable pucker in the fabric, and therefore is perhaps not so wonderful for a v-neck sweater, where (depending on the further edge treatment) the pucker created by crossing the stitches might be on very obvious display.
A note to knitting geeks: there is one additional application of crossing stitches which is quite lovely. When you KNOW you are going to use a Norwegian sleeve "psuedo-steek" (no additional stitches added for the steek) you can cross the stitches in the row UNDER where the cut for the sleeve steek is going to end. In other words, after you have secured the two columns of stitches on either side of the intended cut, then when you come to cut the "ladder" between the two columns, there will be a nice pair of crossed stitches at the bottom of the ladder, just waiting to take the strain at the bottom of the newly-made opening.
--TECHknitter You have been reading TECHknitting on "crossed stitch reinforcement for the bottom of a vertical opening in knitwear."

I can see that it's a brilliant solution, though my 'visual' mind is having a hard time wrapping around it, even with the pictures. It will probably help if I sit and knit it while looking at them. I'd love to see a video of this demonstrated s-l-o-w-l-y. ;-Þ
I appreciate your site and tutorials so much. It's great that you take the time to share your knowledge. :-)- Dixie IpsitApril 12, 2009 at 2:48 PM
I'm going to try this on the fingerless glove pattern that I've been using (Women's hand/wrist warmers by Joelle Hoverson). The thumb opening is a slit - you knit in the round, then back and forth, then in the round again. Sounds like this would help make the bottom of the thumb stronger. Thanks!
ReplyDelete I love your blog. You are a very generous person indeed! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and from the tips of my knitting needles.
This tip is genius, as are all of your tips and bits of advice. Truly a *smacks forehead* moment - Why didn't I think of that??? (Because I'm not as smart as you are!)
Thanks THANKS!
Rosemary- Clair St. MichelApril 18, 2009 at 10:15 AM
hey!! i saw you've written an article for the latest interweave knits. i CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
ReplyDelete It is 3am in Tasmania, Australia. I can't sleep, so I'm knitting. I did a search for ideas on "ease" and found Techknitting. As I was knitting and reading I was separating sleeves for my topdown raglan. I wondered if it was only me who made a small hole when joining the body stitches! I'm so happy I found this post! Thankyou so much for all your tips :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your explanations and illustrations - there are a couple of things you have explained that I had struggled with for years and you provided the AHA! moment. Could you do something on "wraps"? I see patterns that call for wraps and dropping them and knitting them and all this other stuff and I can't visualize what the heck they mean.
ReplyDelete- Dixie IpsitOctober 18, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Sorry to be commenting on an oldie -
can/should you cross the stitches at the top of a vertical slot as well? I'm searching for information on how to improve the ugliness that is the spot where you have knit across one shoulder, attached new yarn, bound off for neck opening and then continued for next shoulder.
I can see that the crossed stitches would address the problem - sort of. Do you have any suggestions for something more elegant?This looks great!!! Thank you for all of your help with issues that are just glazed over quickly in instruction books.
One thing I want to be sure of, this cross over is done as you reach the joining of the front to the back? I have just bound off the sleeve stitches on a top down sweater. Now I am at the point where the front stitches are on my right needle, back stitches are on my left needle. How do I cross the stitches?Hi Linda--I'm not exactly following where you are in your knitting, but the crossing is very simple, regardless of where you are.
1; slip the first of the two sts you want to cross onto a holder.
2. Knit the second of the two sts you want to cross.
3. Knit the slipped st off its holder.
Whether you hold the st on the holder to the front or the back determines which st is on top--it's like a very mini cable. Write again if this isn't clear, OK?Thank you for being so patient! I think I see now. Seems like you are referring to dividing the stitches, some to left and some to the right. My problem is joining stitches at the underarm. Say I am working from the top down and I have reached the underarm row. I knit the front left 20 stitches, then put the next 32 stitches on a holder for the sleeve. I now have to knit the next 40 stitches for the back. This joins the front to the back at the underarm. After knitting these 40, I put the next 32 stitches on a holder for the other sleeve. Now I have to knit the last 20 stitches for the right front. I am seeing a lot of stress and stretching on the stitches at the underarms. Is there some type of "cable/crossing", option here?
ReplyDeleteLinda have the same problem you have. I'm at the point of knitting the sleeves and it driving me insane with the hole that's underneath the sleeve in the body of the sweater. I too started my sweater from the collar down for something different.It's easy but the hole is something that needs to addressed. I'm going to try the cross stitches to see what happens..
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fantastic idea, and it seems to be the preferred solution for glove fingers when looking at other sources. I'm a little confused when it comes to the execution. When I'm knitting glove fingers, would I be crossing the two neighboring stitches that are part of the palm/back of the hand on the row before the stitches for the actual fingers are picked up/cast on, or am I to cross the two neighboring stitches picked up/cast on in the first row on neighboring fingers? In the first case it seems that that would mean picking up stitches to start the finger through crossed stitches. In the second case it seems like I would have to start all 4 fingers at once from separate skeins in order to start the first row of each at the same time. Which would be correct, or am I completely missing it?
ReplyDelete- AnonymousNovember 4, 2014 at 12:41 PM
Is crossing stitches useful for joining the edges of a hat when knitting in the round? I am using the magic loop method and want to bridge the gap between the beginning stitch and the last stitch of the first or second row....
ReplyDelete Hi Anon--imho, there are better tricks to bridge the gap on the early rounds of magic loop--crossing sttiches would work, but it will show. Instead, may I suggest that you rearrange the work so that the gap appears between different stitches on each of the first few rounds? That will offset the loose "ladder" so it disappears. The idea is identical to the trick used by knitters on dpn's to eliminate the gap between stitches on different needles.

Failure-to-thrive is when a child is not growing as expected. It does not include children who are small for their age. Definitions of failure-to-thrive may vary.
Children grow quickly in the first few years of life. A child with failure-to-thrive will usually have a height and weight that is well below other children of their age. Your child may have also had a normal growth pattern that began to slow down. Initially the child has similar height and weight than their peers but at follow-up appointments the child's height and weight does not keep up with their peers.
Growth is assessed at health visits by measuring height, weight, and head circumference. This information is entered into a growth chart, which makes a line or curve that follows how your child grows. Standard curve lines on the chart called percentiles show where babies fall in terms of normal growth compared to other babies at specific ages. Failure-to-thrive can occur when a child:
Failure-to-thrive is split into three different types. These types include:
Failure-to-thrive is caused by a lack of nutrition. The most common causes of lack of nutrition include:
Failure-to-thrive is more common in boys. Many factors may contribute to an increased chance of developing failure-to-thrive in children, including:
Medical conditions:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Family and social factors may include:
Failure-to-thrive may cause:
Failure-to-thrive is diagnosed based on following a child's growth. Your child's weight, height, and head circumference will be potted on standard growth charts. If the child falls below a certain weight range or crosses two lines on the growth chart, the doctor will evaluate the child further.
Based on your child's symptoms, additional tests may be ordered.
Rarely, a child must be hospitalized for a period of time to find the cause of failure-to-thrive. During this time, the doctor will:
This will also be done in an outpatient setting and often require referrals to feeding specialists.
If your child can gain weight under these circumstances and no underlying disease is found, this supports the diagnosis of nonorganic failure-to-thrive.
Talk with your child's doctor about the best treatment plan. Treatment will depend on what is causing your child's failure-to-thrive. Options may include:
Treating the underlying medical condition may correct failure-to-thrive.
Children who are malnourished may need a dietary supplement. These may include Ensure/PediaSure, milk fortifiers, and other ways to add calories to food. They help improve nutrition and boost growth.
When a child is hospitalized for diagnosis, the hospital staff can also provide treatment. Nurses can teach parents appropriate feeding techniques. They may also show how to best interact with their child. If the child isn't hospitalized, parents can still have training sessions with a nutritionist or a nurse.
Parents and children who are having difficulty with their relationship may benefit from counseling.
To help reduce your child's chance of developing failure-to-thrive:

worst tropical season in a longgggg time. i hate choo la nina/el nino

worst tropical season in a longgggg time. i hate choo la nina/el nino

Awsome clip. Bummer Chris Farley isn't around any more. As far as the surf goes.......the yin will eventually yang. I wouldn't be surprized if we get a bunch of surf at some point in the next 45 days.
goo invest 94, this is the one that will break the curse!
ummm im going to lake Michigan next week... anyone want to come?
The real part of the tropical season has not even started yet. This is normal if anything.
Dry air continues to engulf the Eastern Tropics, which is connected to the El Nino influence. Or should I say "The Nino" for all you non Spanish speaking folks. Have a look at this water vapor imagery:
Lets hope this pattern turns around.
Sometimes things get churned up in August, but more often it is right about September 1, when we see a lot of storms popping up (almost always we see something around the beginning of September). August can often be a brutal month.
