I have a knitting question. I have a pattern that goes:

cast on 5
row 1, k2 YO knit to end
row 2, k1 kfb, knit to end
repeat rows 1 & 2 until 4" - place markers
continue in garter until there are 50 stitches

do they mean 50 rows, or do they mean continue repeating rows 1&2 until there are 50 stitches on the needles?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Well, I'm home, and it's damn cold here! Tampa was in the 80s last week, and Philly was around 70 while I was there the past few days, but I return to Chicago to find rain and upper '30s. Blah.

I will say that the guy who sat next to me on the plane back was probably one of the biggest fuckwads I've met recently. Older man, early '60s, who looked up as we were pulling out of the gate. I pointed out the glad fact that the only empty seat on the flight was the one between us, and he looked me over and said, "We're going to need it." I was not too sure I had heard what I heard, and then he reached over, tapped my stomach, and asked if I was doing anything about the weight. I looked at him rather flabbergasted, and he said, "I'm a doctor," as if that made such outrageous rudeness all right. I stammered something about swimming and treadmill, and then he actually asked me how much I weighed. I finally pulled myself together and told him that I didn't feel comfortable answering that since he wasn't my doctor.

He left me alone after that.

Oh Kathy, I am so sorry. Clearly his asshole attitude and lack of manners or basic human decency needs its own seat.

TAP HIS CROTCH AND SAY "TOO BAD YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT "

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, Kathy. What a fucking ASSHOLE. I wish I could have been there to kick him in the balls. I'd have risked an air marshall for that.

Fucking hell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, Kathy. What the fuck is wrong with people?

This is definitely the time for, "Well, I could lose weight, but you'll always be an asshole."

hip deep in pie

Kathy, that is appalling. The mind boggles.

But I have to say, Halifax and Chicago are having the same weather. I don't know why everyone else gets warm weather.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

do they mean 50 rows, or do they mean continue repeating rows 1&2 until there are 50 stitches on the needles?

Until there are 50 stitches on the needles.
