Paws14: @GiuseppeK You know I was thinking the exact same thing this morning.

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Seems to me whoever is taking this information should understand and respect if we decline to answer ANYthing, especially since (I'm guessing) they're an adult and asking personal questions of someone still living with and under the rules of her parents.

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 (And please, as a caring rando in a bracelet making chat who cares, don't discuss any further anything that might get you or your family in trouble here--we never know who's watching these days.)

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Name, photo (smile optional), favorite stroke and hobbies is already more than anyone but your friends (REAL friends) and family have any right or need to know.

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 I definitely would've said so if I'd known listing where we attend school is one of those questions. Irrelevant at best, dangerous at worst.

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 I didn't say so at the time, but I was about to ask why any of that information about you and your teammates needed to be made public in the first place.

Dsaf_Jane: @Emmaloves that one is cool

GiuseppeK: About halfway through #216584 (the sort of pattern where segment knotting can serve us well). We just need to remember F/B knots on the left side and B/F knots on the right whenever possible, to avoid wonky edges.

3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: Segment knotting can be a useful tool, but a screwdriver makes for a rather poor hammer if that's what the situation calls for.

3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves It doesn't look as though "segment knotting" is going to get a knotter too far at all with that particular pattern. It could be I'm missing something, but to me it's silly anytime there's a new topic posted arguing about segment knotting Vs. row by row. It entirely depends on the pattern, and how we approach it.

Emmaloves: @Dsaf_Jane Neat pattern! You probably have it memorised haha. I'm about half way through #189493 I've put the rest of my wips on the back burner for a bit. It feels more managable lol

12 hours ago

Emmaloves: @SpiderGwan Oh my God stop, I've been forcing segmenting on #189493 it's such a nightmare 😭 So much frogging. But, I say it's better to frog, the mistake will only make everything worse, especially for normal. However, if it's only a few knots and you notice like 10+ rows later, maybe at that point it's better to leave it lol

Emmaloves: @penguins06 I spent 3-4 days around christmas last year winding up 120 bobbins I think, so worth it haha. But I didn't know bobbin winders existed, wish I had known before spending so much time on it 😭

GiuseppeK: @SpiderGwan If you have the right shade and the threads will tolerate the paint job, it can just be our little secret.

SpiderGwan: @GiuseppeK until i actually found the energy and motivation to start alpha keychain and i even thought at some point, wow i actully nailed it, i noticed i forgot to change color in one row, should i continue and paint the mistake with acrylic marker of smg?😭😭

SpiderGwan: If u miss-hap with one knots and figure it out couple rows later do u scrap the whole project or keep doing it even tho the mistake eating u up from inside?😭

penguins06: @Warhorse i believe it’s tyche! my mom got them for me lol

1 day, 10 hours ago

Warhorse: @penguins06 What brand of thread did you get? Personally I prefer DMC or this other one, Tyche Special for normal patterns. The Iris stuff is really thin and scratchy, but good for alphas.

1 day, 10 hours ago

penguins06: just got so much thread! can’t wait to put them on some bobbins

Paws14: @Emmaloves Thanks for the idea

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK Awkward 😭

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves Although most days, the greatest immediate risk is making sure our shorts and sandals are stashed high enough in the bamboo that certain pups can't get it. Too many times, one of them has swiped my shorts while I was out and deposited them in the jungle, forcing me to walk home in a Speedo...

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK I did get to level 7 or 8 in my swim class as a kid so those waves will roll right off my back 😤

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK The great stink lol. It's underreported how much it happens now though. At least it wasn't the great fire of London 2.0

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves But no, I wouldn't wanna invite anyone to tag along if they weren't a competent swimmer--it's no joke out there.

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves But they used to let out so much more. There was at least one occasion when there was so much waste in the river, it caught fire from the sheer amount of gas.

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK I disagree. They let out so much sewage it's horrendous. 100s of years ago it's freeze over in winter, people used to set up markets over it, so it was very useful in the past

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves The bubbles will never lie to us--they'll always let us know which way is up.

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves The Thames used to be so much worse, though.

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK I'm kind of scared of going into moving rivers. I like to know which way is up lol

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves Usually around this time of year, it's like a treadmill out there. Face north, and try to stay in the same spot for however long you decide you wanna go.

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK Oh sick, you live in Thailand?

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves Thailand.

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves The dam must be shut tight at the moment--I was able to go south from the first time in weeks today.

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK Oh nice, what country? The Thames is filthy 😭

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves The country's longest river is a two minute walk from my place. The origin is only about 60 kilometers north, so it's about as clean as it gets, too.

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK I already feel the vit D leaking from me 😐 But the sun is actually just coming back out so I might try to sit outside if it warms up a bit. Where did you swim? Lake? River?

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: No sooner did I crawl out than the sky got gloomy again.

1 day, 17 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves Glad I took advantage of the break in the rain to get some swimming in earlier. Just enough time to get some vitamin D. 👍

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK Thing is, it's either boiling or freezing, literally no in between. So I'd rather the heat, at least I can sit outside that way. Sometimes I think I'm cold blooded, I love basking in the sun lol

1 day, 17 hours ago

Emmaloves: @Nainika In like a week yeah. My sister went back today, I miss her 🥲

GiuseppeK: @Emmaloves As hot as I've heard the UK has been this summer, maybe some cooler temps are in order?

Nainika: @Emmaloves that sound sad school is starting for you?

1 day, 18 hours ago

Emmaloves: It's so rainy and cold today in England 😭 I think summer is officially over 🥲

1 day, 18 hours ago

Emmaloves: Anyway hey guys what's good

1 day, 18 hours ago

Emmaloves: @Paws14 Only think I was thinking is IM is more of a race than a stroke lol so maybe you can request an extra category of info, fav type of race, maybe that could replace fav stroke?

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Looks like the rain stopped for now and the sun's actually made an appearance. I should probably put down the knots and go for a swim myself while the gettin's good. 👍

Paws14: @GiuseppeK You know my siblings said that I have the best smile which meant a lot to me

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 And I hope that means, wherever you decide for the location, you'll be giving the camera a huge, genuine smile.

Paws14: I forgot to tell you

2 days ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Well, if the beach is right there after all (and it's a pretty beach), can't go wrong with sunrise or sunset (depending on if you're on the east or west side of the island).

2 days ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK OopsI My parents agreed to let me continue swimming

2 days ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Only asking since I'm aware of the problems you're facing when it comes to remaining on the team. Can't imagine public photos of your in a swimsuit help any.

Paws14: The club's tracksuit

Paws14: @GiuseppeK The person said either in swimsuit or tracksuit

2 days ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Maybe a silly question, but in swimsuit or just regular day to day clothes?

2 days ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK That makes sense

2 days ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Maybe just a solid color background? I guess I'm thinking of the stoic, intense countenances of the athletes on the cereal box, and always too cool to look directly at the camera...

2 days ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK I live next to the sea that's why I was thinking it was a good idea. My whole body I think?

2 days ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 It has to be one or the other? How much of you will be in the shot?

2 days ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK Should I take the picture in front of the sea or the swimming pool? My best friend took hers at the beach

Paws14: @GiuseppeK Lol

2 days ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Well, you can always remind your teachers that they shouldn't believe everything they read/see on the internet.

2 days ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK My parents find it funny and interesting at the same time that I like to harass/annoy the cats, since I'm considered as a serious/strict person.

2 days ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK My three main hobbies are knotting bracelets and making accessories out of anything I find, reading and harassing my cats. My mom said I should put cuddling or teasing my cats instead, because my reputation can be ruined if my teachers saw the post.

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 I guess I'll never understand why sidestroke isn't allowed to join the reindeer games with the other strokes.

2 days, 1 hour ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Is IM an acceptable answer for whoever it posting all this?

2 days, 1 hour ago

Paws14: @GiuseppeK My main swim stroke is breaststroke, but my absolute favorite is IM which is all four strokes combined.

2 days, 1 hour ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Maybe "macrame bracelets" or simply "macrame" can express it.

2 days, 1 hour ago

Paws14: As for hobbies I want to put bracelet making, but I'm not sure how to put it, for it to sound good

2 days, 1 hour ago

Paws14: Problem is I like all four strokes

2 days, 1 hour ago

GiuseppeK: @Paws14 Well, don't keep us in suspense.
