I believe it's heavily dependent on your body shape what rise feels comfortable for you. Don't know how you are shaped but I have been sausage-shaped for years, my boob, waist and hip circumference virtually the same. There was a narrower spot just about below the ribs so the most comfortable tights and leggings cover my navel. There was a case where my tights got swapped with my shorter friend's ones and I had to make a walk of shame with a hangover (self inflicted, no regrets) in tights that no matter how high I hiked them, went fthumph after every five steps and rolled themselves around my crotch...

Now that menopause is basically here and my body fat is scooching from back to front, I've obtained lovely apple shape with waist bigger than hips. I got a pair of very stretchy footless tights where I can basically pull the edge up to my bra. Ultimate comfort, no rolling, no slipping, smooth like a seal.

I guess if you have low hips then low rise feels much more comfortable and high rise starts rolling whereas high hips need to be covered higher to anchor the waist behind something.

Was that commute in solitude in your car or, like, public transport?

And you could ask back "mis see minu perset nokib?" what translates to "why would it peck my ass?"

I guess I'm not in my right mind then. At home cowboy coffee only, I don't even have a French press or a v60. Although in my country we call it tramp coffee.

Bobble paws (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Soku to c/knitting
 

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.
