I live in a city with great public transport and for years Google maps was great for bus/tube times and walking routes. Now after 6 years of no probs Google maps has forgotten the bus stop right under my window and thinks I should walk up or down the road to the next stop. It has forgotten the crossings what are still there, no road works or anything, and thinks I should take 15 min detour instead of just crossing the street right then and there. It's clearly going downhill here.

Not to worry, I'm convinced you're a good fren everyone wants to hang out with. Goblin-ness not mandatory.

There's also an audio file for gekkering but that's the pronunciation for the word, not the actual example...

Sisu and Luhka look like laikas but I don't know enough about dog breeds

But do you pile and hoard stuff, do you like to sit in a mound of blankets, do you eat stuff indiscriminately? All of that matters...

I have not owned or worn sweatpants for three decades but everything else applies to me. Am I unknowingly a goblin?

It just feels wrong

Apparently you can even make meringue with it. Haven't tried that but I often make mayonnaise with aquafaba.

Tell that to cycling phone snatchers in London

No need to apologise, we all have brain farts sometimes. And akshully, duchess potatoes are baked and so are your balls, so there's a crossover after all. It's all looking great!

I'm curious, where's the crossover between duchess potato and falafel? Totally different recipes and methods

Bobble paws (lemmy.world)
 

I made these a good few years back. A friend commissioned these for a present for her friend, and they were highly appreciated, for what I heard.

The pattern for the ruffles came from Pinterest, the bobble pattern I charted out on a piece of paper. Forethought thumbs, no gusset. The bows are made of lingerie lace, that's stretchy. Buttons and beads were chosen from my neverending stash and sewing them on took several hours.

For bobbles like this I learned to knit backwards without flipping the work. It's slower for me and I do like 8 stitches max but still felt more efficient than flipping the work after every 5-8 stitches.
