Ayer hicimos (dijo la mosca xd) algunos cambios de diseño UX/UI en el ecommerce donde trabajo, a ver si encuentran las 7 diferencias
Todo el FUA para el tío, que salga todo bien ánimoooo! ✨
Ay ño y yo estaba de muerte con que pagaran el Lunes 🙃
Yo soy mal ejemplo porque simplemente dejo las cosas. Fumaba y cuando me dio COVID decidí dejarlo y paf, nunca más un cigarro. Terminé con mi ex y lo mismo, lo bloquee de todos lados y no lo vi más xd Hace algunos años el doc me mandó a dejar el café porque me daba laringitis por reflujo y de pasar de tomar café todo el día no tomé nada en años. Ahora lo retomé, pero como un lujito esporádico porque pucha que es rico el cafécito de grano.
Te recomendaría cambiar el café por mate si es por el frío porque tiene como el mismo efecto que subir la presión, que al final es como lo que abriga, o variedades de té verde y/o té rojo.
Que era un paseo para evitarme la micro, no para mandarme tremendo trekking antes de la ofis xd
Es un paso peatonal y legalmente tienen preferencia. Yo personalmente me detengo y señalizo para que el que viene atrás se pegue la cachá. PERO también me ha pasado que si vienen muy Schumacher o muy pegados tengo que pasar no más o me chocan xd Siendo abogada del diablo, igual entiendo que detener y volver a poner en marcha una bici requiere más esfuerzo que un vehículo, que es sólo medio mover el pie, y aun así tenemos ultra normalizado que estés paradx en un cruce, pasen cincuenta mil vehículos y ningun gil se detenga xd
Bueno días y buen inicio de semana queridxs fedditores, por acá he estado malita con un resfrío que no me quiere dejar por lo que no he venido en bici a la ofis, pero como una es porfiada, me vine caminando de Tobalaba a la Muni de Vitacura. Me recompensé con una chaparrita de desayuno xd
Mi corazón dice Jara, pero la razón me dice que este país todavía le tiene demasiado miedo al PC y sería dificil una elección Jara vs. Kast.
En el Norte caen 2 gotas de agua y se corta la luz (bueno, como acá casi xd) y hay UNA radio con generador, es la única que puede seguir transmitiendo y se ponen a pasar sólo canciones que tengan relación o hablen de la lluvia. Onda, La gata bajo la lluvia, Llueve sobre la ciudad, etc etc Ayúdenme a armar una playlist, comente sus canciones sobre la lluvia (inglés o castellano, cualquier género) xd
Y para rematar vestido entero de negro también don neko? xd
Sí y no. Antes la ley hablaba de chaleco reflectante, pero con la nueva ley de convivencia vial se modificó. Es obligatorio llevar elementos reflectantes (puede ser en la ropa o en la bici) y sólo son exigibles de noche (o sea dice media hora antes del anochecer y hasta media hora después del amanecer).
Hoy si que requirió toda mi fuerza de voluntad venir en bici a la ofis. Mas encima porque estoy medio resfriada. Me puse dos pares de luces y chaleco reflectante y eso que mi trayecto es 90% ciclovía xd
Mañana es el Desafío San Antonio! Alguien de acá va (aparte de @feandoe@feddit.cl? Si me ven en la verdementa saluden (andaré con un bolso delantero azul con rosado)
Cuando quiero ultra seguridad si, el cable lo paso por rueda delantera y el sillin (aunque el mío no tiene bloqueo rápido es de las cosas más rápidas de robar junto con la rueda delantera xd). Recuerdo que On Guard vende el cable aparte porque así lo compré yo.
En un Mall usaría ulock de mediana calidad + cable pasado por la rueda delantera y el sillín porque igual roban harto. A menos que el Mall sea el MUT o el Costanera jaja Algo como esto uso yo, pero con el ulock largo porque es más fácil pasarlo por el marco + rueda y aprovechar de enganchar el casco
Por si necesitaban una razón más para deprimirse por la soltería
A couple weeks ago I (37/F) landed my first job in a proper office setting (after being unemployed almost a year, so yay me!). I had worked only in the industrial field so far and my work attire was basically jeans and corporate shirts paired with very stylish safety shoes LOL.
I'm in the southern hemisphere and it's like 80°F outside but my social anxiety is already making me plan for colder weather (hoping I'll still be employed by then). So I was wondering if you could give me some insight on incorporating handknitted items into my office attire, whether it's specific patterns or just general recs.
I'd describe the style at work as business very casual because it's a tech company. Most of my coworkers wear sneakers (women tend to choose 'dressier' ones, but guys often wear Vans and Chuck Taylors).
I was thinking of knitting myself a Lulu Slipover to use over shirts and maybe a cardi.
I read somewhere that fingering and sport yarn weight were office appropiate and more bulky yarns were not, is that really so? Are cables ok? Lace?
TIA!
Edit: Thank you everyone for your insights! I've decided I'll try the Monlight Dancer cardi following @proudblond@lemmy.world's suggestion for a shawl collar cardi and the Fade of Beads tee maybe? (I'll be getting that pattern free with my ticket to an event, so I'll probably knit it anyway even if it's not to wear at the office lol).

Basic ranglan sweater. I used a cake of self-striping yarn for the body and finished off the sleeves with a spare skein in mustard. The pattern was very fun and easy to follow, I'm looking forward to knit more kid's projects because they're so quick xD

El primer thread random oficial del año. Upsi xD
I've been saving this one. It was my first attempt at knitting in the round and I totally twisted my stitches 😂
I read in the pattern about checking your stitches before joining for in the round knitting, but I didn't quite understood what it meant until I was several rows deep into my project and there was a big turn in the middle lol.
A friend told me that twisted cowls were actually a thing so I went ahead and finished it. I even wore it a few times and then I was made aware I also twisted my stitches from knitting into the back loop xD I could not unsee that so I threw it deep into my closet and forgot about it.
Triple fail:
- Twisted stitches in the round
- Twisted stitches from knitting through the back loop
- Taking the picture with the inside out hah!
But wait, there's a happy ending.
As I was getting my stuff ready to move I dug it out from my closet and decided to frog the darn thing. I re-knit it in the Free For All pattern and I'm much happier with it now. I'm looking forward to use this version when cold season finally hits.
(In hindsight I should have done this pattern in the first place, it's been in my favorites forever, but back then I didn't really know how to read patterns in English so I never realized it was knitted flat lol).
- Original pattern: Meila Cowl by Valerie Hobbs
- New pattern: Free For All Cowl by Jen Peck
- Pattern: Sweater Sincronía (in Spanish)
- Yarn: Sweet Love in 007 Rainbow from Revés Derecho
I got this cake for Christmas and looking for some way to use it I thought I'd try my first kid sweater. The pattern is a very simple raglan sweater, but the self-striping yarn makes it look way more interesting. I'm gonna need to get a matching yarn to finish off the sleeves, but I'm kinda getting why people love knitting for kids so much, it's so fast!
La última vez que vine al San Cristóbal fue el 2017. No conocía este sendero con los puentes de madera, está muy bonito. Lo mejor que para llegar hasta acá fue casi todo ciclovía asi que no tuve que estresarme con los conductores.
- Pattern: Sugar Maple by Carina Spencer
- Yarn: Katia Polynesia Gradient in 305.
This is my first knitted garment. Actually the third, but we'll get to that. I got this gradient yarn during my trip to Spain last September. Initially I had no plans on what I would do with it, I had mostly knit accesories and just dipped my toes into shawls, which is what I originally thought I'd make. But when I got back home I though I might try kniting my first piece of garment so off I went to Ravelry and found this lovely pattern from Carina Spencer.
I initially knitted this in my usual size (38) and with US 4 (3.5mm) needles... and it ended waaay too large. My mom said it was because it's a linen/viscose blend and it tends to "give" a lot. So I frogged it and re-knit it in a couple sizes down (same needle size). Still. Too. Large.
At this point I realized knitting willy-nilly wasn't going to work anymore so went ahead and knit a gauge sample, which ended up resulting that I needed to size down to US 2 1/2 (3.00mm) needles. On this third attempt I decided to knit with the colors reversed (teal to burgundy).
MUCH BETTER.
It is not 100% perfect fit, but it's good enough that I'm happy to actually wear this outside so I'm declaring it finished. Finally.
Hello knitters! I have setted myself the goal to learn a new technique every few months. Now that I'm comfortable knitting in the round I'm looking to dip my toes into colorwork and was wondering if you had any recomendations for patterns to introduce me to fair isle. Preferably a small project, as I'd like to work my way into a sweater.
Thanks in advance for any recs, I've already learnt so much from you guys here :)
I got some skeins of yarn as christmas gifts and I had been looking for a quick easy project to usem the for. Also I'm a avid cyclist. I found this pattern on Ravelry and thought it'd make a cute gift for my cycling friends
- Pattern: Bike Helmet Ear Warmer by Amy O'Neill Houck
- Yarn: Revés Derecho Colors Mix in Morado Claro 0082
I used 4.0mm size needles and casted on 56 stitches (28st per side) and worked in the round using the magic loop technique (pattern originally is worked flat).
I knitted these in one afternoon as a break between larger projects. I feel like this is an easy project to adapt to different yarn weights, perfect for using leftover yarn. My friend really liked them, but has yet to try them on a ride because it's summer over here lol
I still consider myself somewhat of a recent knitter and while I've tried a few materials I've not quite settled on any particularly. I got the cheapest set of interchangeable needles I could get locally (KnitPro Trendz) which is acrylic and I already had to buy a spare because I broke one needle when I accidentally sat on it 😂
Now that I'm realizing knitting in the round is kinda my thing (as I've not touched a regular needle since getting said set) I'm wondering if it'd be worth to upgrade and if a change in material would improve my knitting experience at all?
I'd love to read any input and/or recommendations from more experienced knitters :)
I have KnitPro, Lantern Moon and Chiaogoo sets available locally.
Made my 2nd set of socks as a gift for a friend. I based them on the Crazy Sock Lady "How to knit socks on magic loop" video tutorial, but using a k3p1 pattern and a jersey stitch heel instead of slip stitch.
This is my first time using self-striping yarn and it's so fun! I loved seeing the design come to life as I knit :)

Aproveché la libertad de la cesantía para mandarme cambiar unos días a San Pedro de Atacama, probablemente mi último viaje ahora que me voy del Norte. No podía faltar la salida en bici aunque no me llevé la mía, arrendé una Trek Marlin 5 (sí, me reí todo el camino xd).
Desde el pueblo hasta el Valle de la Luna son aprox 9kms. Después de comprar la entrada ($10.800 p/p) los guardaparques te dan un mapa y te dan las indicaciones de los distintos trekkings que hay. Mi plan era hacer el recorrido completo (11,5kms) y de vuelta ver si me quedaba algo de ánimo para hacer un trekking. Spoiler alert: no hice ninguno xd
El camino de ida es exigente, hay un par de subidas medio cuaticas y una en particular la tuve que subir caminando porque había mucha arena suelta. El calor no ayudó mucho, con +35ºC el agua se me hizo bien poca. Pero la vuelta es MUCHO más fácil. Si sobreviven de ida de más la hacen de vuelta.
Recomendaciones:
- Buscar una bici con al menos 2 porta caramagiola (la que arrendé yo tenia solo 1).
- HARTO bloqueador y reaplicarse cada hora.
- Salir bien temprano para evitar las horas de más calor (no como yo xd)
My mom had this yarn in her stash for goodness knows how long, she mentioned she initially got it because she wanted to knit a tee with it. I got her a pattern from Ravelry to fit her preferred style (flat knitting) but she had some trouble with the lace pattern (abbreviations like k2tog and ssk are new to her, at least in name lol). I told her no worries mom, I'll knit it for you!
This is actually the second piece, I only have to knit the top lace pattern and it'll be ready for blocking and sewing together, and just at the beginning of summer, yay (southern hemisphere here).
Pattern: Angel Tee by Rina Leyton (available in English and Spanish) Yarn: Unknown viscose yarn, sport weight
