Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System, Baton Rouge, allocated up to $450 million total to two managers, said Robert W. Beale, chief investment officer, in an email.
The $10.7 billion pension fund hired AQR Capital Management to manage about $375 million in a risk-parity strategy. Funding will come from a reduction to the pension fund's existing risk-parity manager, Bridgewater Associates, bringing its new allocation to roughly $375 million as well. Bridgewater has performed well and the portfolio has grown "substantially," Mr. Beale wrote. AQR's addition is intended to help "control manager concentration, increase expected return and maximize asset efficiency," he said.
Additionally, in private equity, the pension fund committed up to $75 million to the GTCR Fund XII. The pension fund previously committed to predecessor fund GTCR Fund XI.
As of March 31, the pension fund had a 14% target to private equity and 7% target to risk parity.

The links to Lazarus are incredibly technical but in the interest of clarity we're going to lay them out here. That's not the case yet for WannaCry.
The WannaCry ransomware attack wasn't as sophisticated and mostly infected unpatched PCs, but is putting our energy and resources in finding the source of the attack more important than securing ourselves from future attacks?
But the hackers left behind a trail of digital crumbs that Chien and his colleagues had traced to previous attacks by the Lazarus Group, which USA government officials have said works at the behest of Pyongyang. But in an interview last week, its Asia research director, Vitaly Kamluk, said it was not conclusive evidence.
Moreover, the internet connection which was used to install the early version of WannaCry on two computers and communication with files that destroyed Sony Pictures Entertainment were same.
Due to the similarities in the tools, codes and infrastructure used by the hackers, the cyber security company believes tit could be the doing of Lazarus, a North Korean hacking group that was also behind cyber attacks on Sony Pictures and Bangladesh Central Bank, stealing more than $81 million.
Those tools have evolved, but are what researchers call "variants" of the same tools used in the other attacks. That crossover provided what Chien said was yet another "hard link".
The cyber security expert said that it was a less likely scenario for the attack to create chaos by spreading WannaCry. The Trojan.Bravonc sample discovered dropping WannaCry also connects to this IP address.
"We don't see that used anywhere else", Chien said.
However, Symantec said its subsequent analysis had found that code used by Lazarus was present in the latest version of WannaCry, used in...
The WannaCry 2.0 ransomware attacks earlier this month used nearly exactly the same code as the WannaCry 1.0 attacks in February, March and April this year, which gained barely any traction, with the only difference the method of propagation. The version that ran rampant used an automated system to infect new networks that utilized what appear to be stolen National Security Agency hacking tools.
After South Korean cybergurus alleged that their counterparts in the north of the peninsula had ordered the attack last week, officials in Pyongyang vehemently dismissed the accusations as pure propaganda from old opponents.
More evidence has been found linking North Korea to the global cyberattack that caused an IT meltdown in the NHS earlier this month.
Some also pointed to the small sums the attack was generating as proof that the attacks were the haphazard work of unsuccessful cybercriminals, rather than government-backed hackers.
We may never know who issued the attack in the end.

Pets are totally fine and safe in pregnancy. You may notice more pet hair as your dogs coat is changing. My two greyhound are currently shedded their winter coat getting ready for their summer coat. It normally lasts around 2/3 weeks. X
There’s also quite a few studies showing the benefits of having pets in the family home when baby arrives (my first is always crawling around next to the dogs and he absolutely loves the cat 😆). A link to just one of the studies if you’re interested- https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/04/170406143845.htm
Pets are perfectly safe and fine to be around children and babies. I have always have dogs and cats from a young age and currently have a 2 year old and 10 weeks pregnant with a 1 year old golden labrador x
Pets are not dangerous at all, in fact they are healthy! My doctor even told me that kids that grow up in homes with pets tend to be healthier.
If you have kitties you can assign the litter box duty to someone else or use gloves and a mask if you can, but please don't worry. My beautiful tabby cat (how I miss him) slept with me every night while I was pregnant with my first and my baby was and is hearty and healthy.
Perfectly fine! With my first my cat wouldn’t leave me alone. He loved my bump and they used to pat each other it was very cute. He died 18 months ago and I’m so sad he’s not here for this pregnancy. As PP have said try and get help with cat litter trays if you have a cat.
Pets and babies are so cute together. My cat was really put out he was no longer the baby when we bought J home but he soon got used to him and would lie under his cot xxx

Two rare treasures, in the way of lists of names and addresses of people who lived in this vicinity at the turn of the century, have recently been lent to your columnist by Miss Beatrice Tees and her brother, De Bourg Trees, of Lancaster avenue, St. Davids. These are an 1899 “Directory and Blue Book of Wayne and St. Davids,” and a similar book for 1904.
Not only do these contain names and addresses of the residents, but they list, as well, the various stores and businesses that were located here then. And since the files of “The Suburban” were destroyed by fire in 1906, no such information as that given in the two directories has been available to your columnist before.
It is interesting to note that the first name listed under “T” is that of Dr. Ambler Tees, who lived on “Lancaster, W. Of Pembroke, s.s.,” which, in less abbreviated form, means that he lived on the south side of Lancaster avenue. Dr. Tees was the father of the present occupants of this same house, Beatrice and De Bourg Tees.
The former tells us that this home, one of the early Wayne Estate houses, was purchased by her grandfather in 1890, while it was still under construction. He intended to use it as a summer home only, the same purpose which a number of Philadelphians of that period had in mind when they came to Wayne in the late eighties and early nineties. However, the original purchaser died before he ever occupied the house, and so his son, Dr. Ambler Tees, came there to live, bringing his young bride. And here their two children, the present occupants of the house were born.
Both directories were published with “Compliments of the Wayne Title and Trust Co.” The picture reproduced in this week’s column is a copy of the one in the front of the first booklet and shows the original bank building as many old timers still remember it – a small building with a charm all its own. Although on the same plot of ground now occupied by the modern and much larger structure, it faced on South Wayne avenue (then Audubon avenue) with West Wayne avenue running to the left of it and Lancaster Pike to the right of it as indicated in the picture. One set of stone steps led to the small yard which surrounds the building, while another linked to the wide doors, which somehow give an appearance of more informal hospitality than do most bank entrances.
Directly in back of the triangular piece of ground on which the bank was located was the property running from the pike to West Wayne avenue, occupied then as now by the Central Baptist Church. The original small library stood on the same site as does the greatly enlarged one of the present. All of this is very clear in the large map which folds up neatly in the front of the directory. Also shown is the Saturday Clubhouse, which had just been completed the year in which the map was drawn.
A full page directory in the advertisement names “Wayne, Delaware Co., Pa.” as the main office of the Wayne Title and Trust Company, with a Philadelphia branch located at “411 Walnut St., Room 16, Phone 42-60 D.”
Officers were Louis H. Watt, president; Harry C. Hunter, secretary and treasurer, and Christopher Fallon, solicitor and title officer. Directors included such well known men of the late nineties as Dallas Sanders, William West, Julius A. Bailey, Fred F. Hallowell, John H. Watt, Joseph W. Thomas, Tryon Lewis, Fred H. Treat and James Goodwin.
Several pages of the directory are devoted to the different services rendered by the bank, such as “Title Insurance,” “Real Estate Bought, Sold and Rented,” “Safe Deposit Boxes,” “Trusts,” “Deposits and Savings Received and “Suretyship.”
Among the properties on which the Wayne Title and Trust Company was prepared to give “Full Particulars on Application” was “Edgewood Lake, adjoining Wayne and St. Davids,” described as “96 acres of as pretty lying land as can be found in the vicinity of Philadelphia… well timbered… well watered… all roads macadamized… Ideal building sites… will be sold as a whole or in acre lots on advantageous terms to home seekers, investors, or builders.”
After puzzling in vain over such a lake as “Edgewood” in this vicinity, your columnist unfolded the map in the front of the directory, only to find that it was later known as the Walton Pond, enjoyed by many in later years for the swimming and skating facilities which it offered. Much of the acreage offered for sale by the Wayne Title and Trust Company was bought by Charles Walton for his family home, “Walmarthon,” now the property of the Eastern Baptist College.

Numerous designs of heart valve prostheses have been in use for more than half a century. In addition to several other factors (e.g. manufacturability, price, interventional complexity, performance etc.) the longevity of the prostheses is an important design goal, especially in an ageing society where patients shall be albe to continue their active lifestyle without the need for re-operation.
A thorough understanding of the hemodynamics of heart valves is indispensable for the design of more durable and better performing devices. To this end, we have developed sophisticated experimental and computational infrastructure for the study of heart valve hemodynamics. This includes pulsatile flow loops, silicone casting facilities, as well as modern optical measurement technology for quantifying the complex three-dimensional blood flow interacting with the valve tissue. This enables us to perform ex vivo and in vitro tests of different valves. Our experimental approach is complemented by computer models for fluid-structure interaction optimized for high-performance computing platforms.
Tomographic PIV behind aortic valve prosthesis
The flow profile in the ascending aorta is strongly affected by the geometry and the condition of the aortic valve. This is also the case if the native valve is replaces with a prosthetic valve, each type influencing the hemodynamics in a specific way. We use a tomographic PIV setup together with a silicone phantom of the aorta and a pulse replicator to tackle flow structures and quantify the shear stresses within the three-dimensional flow field behind a trans-catheter valve implant (TAVI).
Contact: David Hasler, MSc.
Bioprosthetic valve performance in compliant aortic roots
Bioprosthetic aortic valves (BAVs) degenerate over time due to calcification and structural deterioration, and the reasons behind are not fully understood. Surgically implanted BAVs are designed in a symmetric, circular fashion to mimic the native valve. While stented BAVs assure undistorted circular implantation due to a rigid stent, sutureless and stentless BAVs implantation might be influenced by the morphology of the patient. This project aims to investigate the impact of patient-specific aortic root parameters on valve kinematics and hemodynamic performance of BAVs.
High performance numerical analysis of AV hemodynamics
Our group aims at full characterization of heart valve hemodynamics. In parallel to in-vivo and in-vitro analysis, we work on developing a tool for numerical fluid-structure interaction analysis. Working in-silico provides the benefit of obtaining quantitative and reproducible data whitout relying on clinical tests such as animal experiments. Our code will be targeted at newly emerging hybrid node supercomputer architectures. Eventually, the library shall be made available to other researchers working in Biofluiddynamics.
Hemodynamics in the pivoting area of the Triflo heart valve
Our research is targeted towards the investigation of the hemodynamics in the hinge region of a novel trileaflet mechanical heart valve prosthesis. Micro particle image velocimetry (µPIV) offers a scientific tool to investigate the flow on a small scale in an in vitro setup. An experimental configuration was built that allows to simulate the function of the heart and the cardiovascular system and to study the hemodynamics of the mechanical heart valve throughout the cardiac cycle.
Contact: Bernhard Vennemann, MSc.
Mitral valve repair
Acute posterior leaflet prolapse of the mitral valve can be surgically or minimal-invasive repaired with various techniques. The comparison of the different repair methods are difficult in-vivo due to limited accessability and differences between patients. To avoid these problems, we are conducting different valve repair methods on mitral valves from pigs and we aim to quantitatively compare different mitral valve repair strategies in terms of flow and pressure conditions in a physiological pulsatile in-vitro setup.

This again was made with scraps and it really didn't turn out like I thought, but it is still nice.
I bought a round container of wet wipes and just wrapped my fabric around to measure, then added a 1/2 inch seam allowance , cut the piece of fabric out. Then I went ahead and sewed my bottom and top seams leaving room for elastic to be threaded through.
After threading the elastic through, I pinned it in place and then with right sides together, I sewed my seam down the side, catching the elastic at the top and bottom. Turn it right side out and slide onto canister of wipes. So easy!!

Sites like Arrangement Finders allow men and women to communicate with one another in a casual environment where they can seek out others looking for like-minded dating arrangements.
“The younger generation does virtually everything online, in real time,” said a rep for the site. “In an age where social media and online networking serve as dominant avenues of communication, it makes sense that busy, independent women with children are signing up for sites like ours.”
While sites like Match.com and E-Harmony promise to couple users with compatible partners, more and more young women are choosing sites like Arrangement Finders as casual dating alternatives.
“These women are often coming out of serious relationships,” the rep continued. “Services like ours allow them to ease back into the dating scene in a more comfortable, casual online setting. ”

Original plan of the Toronto Purchase (1787-1805), outlined in red ink, 1911. Image: Toronto Public Library
Page 2 of the Williams Treaty with the Mississauga Indians of Rice, Mud and Scugog Lakes and Alderville, November 15, 1923. Image: Library and Archives Canada
Historian Barbara Myrvold explains at the beginning of her book, The People of Scarborough: A history (1997), that “For over 10,000 years, humans have occupied the area that is now known as Scarborough. And for more than 97% of that time, the First Nations were in sole possession of the region.” We know from archaeological digs, oral histories, and from European Settler accounts that First Nations, including the Mississaugas, Seneca, Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat, used Scarborough’s land for portages and travel, trade, hunting, and living. They set-up temporary camps, and more permanent agricultural settlements, notably near the Rouge River, and to the northeast in what we now know as Highland Creek.
Scarborough is not a First Nations name – the closest Indigenous name being “Chi Sippi” for the Rouge River, which means Large Creek in Anishnaabemowin. Instead, the area owes its name to Elizabeth Simcoe, wife of the Governor of Upper Canada, who while riding on horseback through the Scarborough bluffs in the late-eighteenth century, was reminded of the cliffs of Scarborough in England.

The Gunshot Treaty
Scarborough’s land is said to have been ceded by Anishnaabe Peoples to the British crown in the Gunshot Treaty of 1788. “Gunshot” seemed an appropriate name; the story goes that land was surrendered as far north from the water as a gunshot could be heard and as far east as the Bay of Quinte, starting from the borderline of lands ceded in the Toronto Purchase of 1787. However, while the British government operated as though Scarborough lands were in their possession, only limited and incomplete paperwork could be found to support these claims.

The Williams Treaties
Scarborough was not included in the original Toronto Purchase, nor was it included when the treaty was revised in 1805. There had been settlers in the area since the 19th century and the Mississaugas and Chippewas of the area were concerned with how these settlements affected their land rights. The Mississauga and Chippewa chiefs were most concerned with their hunting, fishing and gathering rights and came to believe that these would be secured with the signing of the treaties. They tried to meet with the government concerning this land, and were only successful after 60+ years of effort.
The land was eventually ceded as part of the Williams Treaties of 1923 which collectively involved almost 13,000 acres of land. The terms were set by the Ontario and Canadian governments, and it involved a one-time payment to each participating First Nation, which included the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Georgina Island and Rama, the Mississaugas of Alderville, Curve Lake, Hiawatha, and Scugog Island. This payment was around $200,000, or approximately $3 million today, plus small one-time stipends to individual band members.

Scarborough’s Indigenous Roots
Continued dispute and reconciliation
Harvesting rights that the Mississaugas and Chippewas thought were protected under the agreement, in fact, were not. They were prosecuted for hunting, fishing or gathering on Williams Treaties land. The land designated to them for reservations was small and did not include much of the area they had traditionally used for cultivating crops.
In September 2018, the Canadian government issued an apology for the treaties and how they were handled. The negotiated settlement that accompanied the apology included financial compensation, a recognition of harvesting and land rights, and additional reserve lands. This action was a result of the Alderville litigation first brought forth by seven First Nations of the Williams Treaties in 1992.
The land continues to be contested by the Mississaugas of New Credit, as they were not signatories of the Williams Treaties, and therefore never ceded the land. In 2015, they submitted a claim to the federal government for the land, known as the Rouge Tract, to be returned to them.

When wrestling practice ends at Mountain Pointe, there are days when the work is just getting stated for the Gaughan boys.
That's when the mentoring continues - North Dakota style.
Garrett and Blake Gaughan come from good family stock as their dad, Bob, was a state placer, as were several members of his family, for West Fargo High in North Dakota.
"He's a real boost for the program," Mountain Pointe coach Shannon Radford said.
While the Gaughan brothers - senior Garrett (170) and junior Blake (132) - are two of the Pride's better wrestlers, they are still looking to match their father's success.
"There is some pressure because I want him to be proud of me, but I want to get better for myself," Blake said. "He knows a lot of stuff, and he really pushes us."
Garrett had similar sentiments, but that's about where the commonality ends.
"They are like two opposite magnets," Radford said. "They do everything different. They are great kids and come from a great family, but on the mat they are completely different."
Garrett has taken on a defensive style this year and likes to use upper body moves, while Blake is more of a classic takedown man.
"(Blake) is short and stocky and doesn't have any trick moves," Radford said. "He comes straight at you with good old-fashioned single and double leg takedowns, where his brother likes throws."
The Gaughan boys and the Pride will be tested over the next couple of weeks against some of the best teams Tucson has to offer.
"If we can do well against them it should shape up well for sectionals," said Garrett, who didn't qualify for state last year but went 17-11. "If not, then we have to get back to work."
The Pride, who have had to insert four freshmen into the lineup due to missing starters because of grade, injury and family issues, travel to Ironwood Ridge this weekend for the 10-team "Rumble at the Ridge" dual meet tournament.
Then on Jan. 20 and 21 they will head back down to Tucson for the Salpointe Catholic Invitational.
"It is exactly what we need to get us ready for sectionals and state," Garrett said. "We have some young guys that as seniors have to make sure they know what to expect and what we need to be successful."
Garrett, who is 6-6 on the season, has shown glimpses of putting it all together, but always seems to falter down the stretch in big matches.
"Right now, I have some things I have to polish off," he said. "There have been times where I have had the opportunity to win, but I couldn't close the deal. I have to be able to finish those off.
"I need to work on staying focused for the entire match."
Blake, who is 8-6 on the season, struggled early on but has come on lately to gain some confidence.
"Blake has a toughness and a mean streak, but sometimes he gets in matches and he freezes up," Radford said. "Once we get past that he can be really good. He's only going to get better."
The extra time with their dad should only help.
"We really push each other," Garrett said. "It has really made a difference."

‘Vile act by terrorist’
Prime Minister Sharon blasts Shfaram shooter; earlier, army deserter opens fire aboard bus in Arab town, killing at least four people. Thousands of residents hurl stones, bottles at bus before angry locals storm it and kill attacker. Police declare general call-up in the north; Internal Security Minister Ezra: This is terror attack
SHFARAM - (VIDEO) Four people were killed and at least six others were wounded after army deserter Eden Natan Zada opened fire aboard a bus in the Arab town of Shfaram, in northern Israel.
Eyewitnesses said angry locals, or possibly bus passengers, managed to storm the bus following the attack and killed the shooter. Police reportedly had trouble retrieving the body, which was lying on the stars of the bus, as a result of the angry mob gathered at the scene.
Meanwhile, police in the north declared a general call-up and dispatched helicopters, water cannons, and mounted forces to the area. Hundreds of officers were dispatched to the region by choppers from Jerusalem and the West Bank
The IDF boosted its alert level across the West Bank following the shooting for fear of riots. The Border Guard reinforced its presence in Hebron, around the Cave of the Patriarchs, and in the northern West Bank.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon issued a special statement following the Shfaram shooting saying, “This is a vile act by a blood-thirsty Jewish terrorist who aimed to hurt innocent citizens.”
“Terror by citizens against citizens is the most dangerous thing regarding Israel’s future and its democratic character,” the statement said

Following the attack, Internal Security Minister Gideon Ezra told Ynet the shooting was no doubt a terror attack.
“This looks like a serious terror attack, we were all concerned about such incident,” he said. “Obviously this could have happened as a result of incitement. I hope everyone draws the right conclusions and stop the incitement.”
The 19-year-old Natan Zada was said to be an insubordinate soldier who refused to take part in the upcoming pullout from Gaza and the northern West bank. He reportedly spent time recently in the West Bank settlement of Tapuah, known as a stronghold of radicals.
Natan Zada left the army during basic training about two months ago and was declared a defector, with Military Police looking for him ever since. Before he deserted, Natan Zada announced he would refuse to take part in the establishment of an army tent city near Gaza ahead of the pullout.
Following the shooting, large crowds of locals gathered at the scene and hurled stones and bottles at the bus, where the shooter was taking refuge. Paramedics also had a difficult time reaching the scene and treating the wounded because of the large crowds.
Local security officer Jamal Aalian told Ynet: “I handcuffed the soldier and detained him with another police officer, he was bleeding…He was alive and we didn’t allow the mob to hurt him….I think he was killed about half an hour after shooting.”
About 30 police officers gathered in and around the bus and attempted to stop the mob from storming it, but several youngsters managed to break through. Three police officers, as well as several locals, reportedly sustained injuries in the incident
'Soldier continued to fire at people'
Former Shfaram Deputy Mayor Khatem Hason who arrived at the scene shortly after the attack said the shooter was a religious Jewish soldier.
“When the bus reached Sheikh Amid Farid Street…he shot the driver and other passengers. The bus rolled down and stopped to the side of the road, and the soldier continued to fire at people,” he said.
“Those killed are the driver and two young girls,” Hason said. “The shooter is still on the bus. Some residents hurled stones while others attempted to protect him, after taking away his gun”
Hason also slammed the police for their slow response time.
“When they arrived, the situation calmed down,” he said. “People are not digesting what happened here. People are stunned. We have no idea why he shot.”
Knesset Member Azmi Bishara (National Democratic Assembly) said in response to the shooting, “I hope this is not another Baruch Goldstein. This is an intentional shooting.”
A spokesman for Magen David Adom, Aharon Mor, told Ynet that “the residents are raging here and they didn’t allow emergency crews to get to the bus. Two Shfaram ambulances evacuated the wounded to hospitals. The police came after a very long delay, 20 minutes after the incident.”
Naqed Naqed, a resident of a Druze neighborhood in Shfaram in which the incident occurred, told Ynet that he heard “shots fired, and residents of the neighborhood were very scared.” Naqed, an activist in the Hadash political party, said the atmosphere in the neighborhood and city was extremely tense.
Ali Waked, Efrat Weiss, and Hanan Greenberg contributed to this report.


The Blue Water Bridge international crossing in Port Huron, Michigan will be partially closed beginning April 1 for resurfacing and waterproof undercoating on its original span, likely leading to traffic backups between the U.S. and Canada.
Work on the bridge, co-owned by the state of Michigan and Blue Water Bridge Canada, is expected to be finished by July 1.
The original bridge, built in 1937, currently serves westbound traffic entering the United States. The eastbound portion of the bridge, built in 1997, will be used to accommodate both directions of international traffic throughout the project. Normally, it just handles eastbound traffic entering Canada.
Only one lane of traffic will be open in each direction across the bridge. Two lanes will be available in each direction as vehicles approach the toll plazas at each end of the span.
Limited lane availability during this project will prevent the use of a dedicated lane for NEXUS and F.A.S.T. vehicles, as well as buses, according to the Michigan DOT. Wide loads will be restricted to less than 11 feet.
Due to the longer wait times expected at the border, drivers are encouraged to travel at off-peak hours if possible, or travel south to use the international bridge or tunnel crossings in the Detroit/Windsor area.

The border crisis is no longer solely a problem of illegal Central American migrants. As the word spread of the collapse of border maintenance, the number of African immigrants continues to increase. The threat of introducing dangerous diseases is higher than ever, but there are no mandatory and universal performances, quarantine or detention before illegal immigrants are released into our communities within hours.
According to preliminary weekly data used internally by customs and border protection (CBP) and to CR by a border patrol agent who must remain anonymous because he is not authorized to speak to the press, more than 550 African immigrants captured in Texas in just one week from May 30 to June 5. The lion's share was from the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country with the worst Ebola outbreak in the world.
Republic of the Congo – 314
Gabon – 1
Republic of the Congo (DRC), not to be confused with the smaller separate nation of "Republic of the Congo" coming to the immediate west of the NGK is not currently experiencing the worst Ebola outbreak ever. According to the World Health Organization, a total of 2,025 confirmed and reported cases of Ebola, including 1,357 deaths.
In addition to Ebola, the NGK experiences 87,000 cases of measles, which claim lives. from 1500. Angola and Cameroon are also experiencing measles outbreaks, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
However, local media in San Antonio reported on Friday that hundreds of these African migrants have been seen dropping off at San Antonio bus stations. Last week I confirmed to CBP that there is no need for a special screen, extra investigation or quarantine from those coming from African countries, more than anywhere else.
A total of 20,274 illegal aliens were captured in Texas during these seven days. period. It's an annual pass of more than one million just for the state of Texas. Honduras had the highest number of countries in the country. This represents 38 percent of all illegal immigrants caught in the Lone Star State. Honduras experience a pumpkin outbreak, and many of the caravans flew from San Pedro Sula, a northern Honduran town, which had 1,336 cases of mumps since April. Since Monday, Arizona officials have confirmed 47 cases of mumps in Pinal County, mainly in ICE facilities, a 10-year-high for the state. Uvalde's Texas Mayor, Dan McLaughlin, confirmed to CR at least two well-known cases of illegal immigrants in the detention facility in his city. According to a recent DHS inspector's general report, in some facilities there is a high incidence of illness among staff.
Also from May 29, [bevestig] there were mumps under the general population in Hidalgo County, Texas, the busiest illegal alien smuggling corridor along the southwest border. The disease spread to every major city in the country.
Then there is Venezuela. Due to the collapse of the economy and civil society, the country is experiencing all sorts of diseases. The number of immigrants was starting to catch up, with 47 in Texas arrested the first week of June.
It is simply surprising that hundreds of thousands of the most disease-prone countries come among the worst travel arrangements imaginable and there is no quarantine, such as required by law . Acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan finally heard public recognition from Senate's judicial committee yesterday that CBP is not investigating anyone for illness. "The health risk family units are being released into our communities with unknown vaccination status and without a medical medical examination for communicable diseases of public health care, as well as a public health risk for disease outbreaks," McAleenan said. his written testimony.
So, why isn't McAleenan itself needing such a process, and if such a process is impossible with the numbers, should these people not be inadmissible than being released? Asylum does not involve the medical-unacceptable statutes of 8 U.S.C. 1182. In other words, if the criminal smuggling conspiracy is so successful that it leads to catastrophic numbers that strike our border, why should it release the alien's claim without following medical quarantine rather than reinforcing the US sovereign's claim keep them out?

In all seriousness, there’s nothing worse than a creaking, clicking, rattling bike, unless it’s old and the rider doesn’t care. A cyclist does care, and therefore is mortified riding a bike that develops a creak or a click. They happen, of course, especially when riding in the rain, and there’s nothing to be done (usually) until we get back. Now, there’s a
shotgun bazooka approach to this that I’ll cover later, but for now, I want to cover some of the things I’ve come up against.
Clicking crank: In certain cranks, I’m looking at you FSA with your wavy washers, they tend to collect a little grime and road gunk in between the crank arm and the cups or at the spindles. This will produce a clicking sound that has no rhythm to it, and you’ll be able to tell the clicking is coming from the bottom bracket. Let it go long enough and you’ll feel the click in your pedals. It’ll most likely start quiet and will be barely perceptible at first, but it’ll get worse over time. Remove your crank, clean it and the bottom bracket bearings, lube everything properly and reassemble the crank.
Not all cranks are created equal:
The Specialized S-Works Crank – one of the simplest, best cranks available today. Simple, and not noisy.
The Shimano RS500 (See also, darn-near the full line of Shimano cranks); Simple, and it works… quietly, though it must be installed correctly, and hopefully without the wavy washer. If you need the wavy washer, throw all of that stuff about quiet in the garbage. The flaw is the wavy washer as they allow dirt into places you don’t want dirt.
Creaking crank: In my case, the cause of this was a loose crank bolt that I accidentally didn’t tighten down enough after cleaning out the clicking crank above. Once I tightened it down to the specified torque, problem solved.
The Shimano Flaw – RS500 (and Up) Crank Line: There is a flaw in the Shimano crank line that you have to watch for. First, make sure you’ve got the shim properly located on the left crank arm. Then, make sure you torque the left crank arm bolts properly (12-14 Nm if memory serves). Finally, the center cap bolt, that doesn’t get cranked down. Too tight and the system will creak. Too loose, it’ll creak. It’s treated a lot like the stem cap when tightening down a headset. Finally, the bolts used to pinch the left crank arm to the spindle are notoriously soft – they are soft because it’s better to strip a bolt than the crank arm. Be careful with those bolts.
Thudding Threadless Headset: If you go for the loosest possible pressure on the headset when tightening down the stem cap, you can leave it loose enough that you won’t feel it with the rocking test, but you’ll feel it and hear it when you hit a decent bump on the road, say those annoying stress cracks in asphalt roads. More important, you won’t feel it when you hit the brakes, a thump that’s the obvious sign of a loose headset… This one is a bit pernicious. To fix this, loosen the stem and the stem cap. Try to keep the wheel and the stem lined up, and tighten the stem cap like you normally would, then keep going. Give it a good quarter-turn and check the operation of the steering. Is it slower and more labored than normal? Back it off that quarter-turn and tighten the stem bolts. If the steering isn’t grabbing a little bit, tighten the stem cap another quarter-turn until the steering is obviously too tight – then back the stem cap bolt off a quarter-turn until the steering moves freely. Then tighten the stem bolts, and Bob’s your uncle.
Creaking Quill Stem Headset (Threaded): My 5200 has a threaded headset has an old quill stem. While its simplicity is quite awesome, dear GOD is it creaky when it’s not clean and properly lubed. With the quill stem lube job, this will be the only instance in which I recommend anyone be liberal with anything. When cleaning a quill stem headset because it’s creaking, clean it very well and liberally apply lube to the metal on metal parts and put everything back together. You should be good, at that point.
Loose Chainring Bolts: Chain ring bolts are an interesting little piece of the clicking/ticking puzzle. You’ll wonder how they could possibly loosen, but they do, so if you hear a clicking from the bottom bracket area that isn’t dirt in the crank, the chainring bolts is where to start. If they’re loose, take them out, one by one, clean them, lube them and reinstall them. Lubing the threads will give you a better “tight” on the bolt when it’s tightened. Tight on dry bolts often give a false tight and will creak after a couple of hours of quiet. Always lube bolt threads unless a manufacturer recommends against that, for some crazy, unforeseen, unknowable reason.
Loose Seat Post Collar: The seat post collar bolt should be tightened (to the proper torque recommended by the manufacturer) every week. These bolts will come loose over time and the creak will drive you up a wall looking for it.
Seat Post Phantom Creak: This is almost like the loose seat post collar but much harder to find… especially if you regularly tighten the collar bolt – had this happen to me once, I was ready to throw my Venge in the ditch and walk away down in Kentucky. I threw the kitchen sink at this problem and still couldn’t find it. Just as a fluke, I loosened the seat post collar and worked the seat post up and down a bit before tightening the bolts back up (this should go without saying, make sure the saddle height is right before tightening everything back down). The next ride, and every ride since, has been silent. Sometimes you just have to work the carbon paste around a bit.
Grime/Sweat/Gnarliness in the Shifter Cable Guide (under the bottom bracket for exterior routed cables): This one can cause all kinds of trouble because that bottom bracket area is exposed to a lot of road garbage, drips of sports drink from water bottles, sweat that runs down the bike… all kinds of nasty stuff. Keep the guide clean or it’ll affect your shifting if it gets bad enough.
Rattling Cables: They make cable keepers that’ll hold your cables apart so they won’t rattle. Use ’em, it’s better than a rattling bike.
Clicking Loose Derailleur Hanger: This is a rare one, but it does happen. You’ll hear a click in the rear of the bike and it probably won’t have much rhyme or reason to it. Always good to check the bolts a couple of times a year when cleaning the bike.
Clicking Wheel/Cassette/Cassette Hub Body: Clean out the wheel – and hope you have sealed cartridge bearings in your wheels. The loose bearing wheels aren’t all that bad, but sealed cartridge bearings are the cat’s pajamas. Simply take the hub apart, clean everything, lube the important connection points and put everything back together. Your wheel should be quiet again.
Clicking Spoke Junctions: Over time where spokes cross, usually only on the rear wheels nowadays as most front wheels have gone to radial, they can develop a notch because the spokes load and unload. It’ll be a pernicious little click and it’ll be hard to pinpoint. Now, what we do to find out if we even have a problem in the first place, is we pinch the intersecting spokes to see if they’ve developed a groove. Then, the easiest way to really know if this is your problem is to take a piece of paper and put it in between the spokes where they cross. Ride the bike, if the noise is gone, you’ve found your problem. Take a flat file (or better, use sandpaper) and, ever so slightly, file or sand the groove out of the spoke. Then take a little dollop of lube and get in between the spokes. That’ll fix the problem. Obviously, don’t take too much off of the spoke. You don’t want to find out the hard way, at 40 mph, that you did.
Now, with those out of the way, I promised you a bazooka method to fixing creaks and clicks in your bike. Well, here you go:
The Bazooka Method to curing a bike’s creaks, clicks and rattles:
Rebuild the whole flippin’ bike from the ground up. The only original parts on that bike are the frame, fork, brake calipers and chain ring bolts. Seriously, that’s it. Everything else is new. That 1999 Trek is as quiet as my immaculate 2013 Specialized Venge.

Despite the proposed Torre de Manila’s flagrant violations of the city’s zoning ordinances, the city government reversed itself on the condominium project of DMCI Homes. It approved the development, which will be 7 times higher than the allowable height of buildings in the area. It will also ruin the sightline of the historic Rizal monument in Luneta Park. An online petition has been launched to stop the construction, but Mayor Joseph Estrada reportedly doesn’t want to scare future investors with too strict zoning requirements.

A dispute between the Town of Sylvan Lake and a local non-profit society that offers learning programs for young children continues to fester while a deadline looms to sign a lease to use a community facility.
Kindercare Achievement Centre and the town have been at odds over the use of space in the town-owned community centre. A new lease proposed by the town does not include use of a room that Kindercare had been using for a number of years and felt had been previously promised for their use until 2013. Kindercare still has the option to lease 3,000 square feet it has used since 2004.
The town has argued that there are many groups vying for space in a growing community and the additional room must be kept aside for others.
At Monday night’s council meeting, the town’s chief administrative officer Helen Dietz read a lengthy prepared statement outlining the two-year history of the dispute since the last lease expired in 2007.
Dietz said in the statement that the group, which provides various programs to about 200 children from toddler to kindergarten age, must sign a new lease at a subsidized rate by noon Friday. The original deadline was May 6, but was extended by council.
If Kindercare does not sign, the lease will be terminated and the group will have 30 days to move its programs out of the community centre.
Dietz was sharply critical of Kindercare’s handling of the issue.
She refers to “attacks on town political and administrative leadership” that involved letters to Kindercare parents listing phone numbers of councillors and town officials and urging parents to keep calling them.
“Kindercare’s lack of leadership from the board of directors and the executive director has jeopardized the organization’s position, location and reputation,” says the statement posted on the town’s website after the meeting.
The message also says, “Council is very disappointed regarding Kindercare’s approach to politically drag them across the pavement after all they have done to support, fund and subsidize their organization.”
Kindercare spokesman Matt Toonders took offence at Dietz’s comments and said it was “intolerable” that a town official would question people’s right to make their views known to council.
“When is it wrong for concerned citizens to do the political thing and call their elected representatives?”
Toonders said it there were many errors in Dietz’s take on the dispute and said many of the problems with previously proposed leases was that the town did not specify what future rates would be. That’s an impossible situation for a not-for-profit society, he said.
The town was not making decisions based on the welfare of the children enrolled in the program but was more interested in protecting its turf, he said.
Toonders said Kindercare will likely sign the lease but he predicted it may have to cut some programming, which could affect 45 to 60 children, by the fall.
“There are going to be victims and it’s going to be the families and the children in this community.”
Town officials directed comments to Mayor Susan Samson, who could not be reached for comment.

Goldsmith Island , Whitsundays
Journeys of Aardvarc
Sun 3 Aug 2008 07:24
Position 20:43.1S 149:07.9E
The first island in the Whitsunday group we arrived at was called Goldsmith.
The scenery was spectacular and the island was deserted as you can see.
Diana is holding a sea cabbage which is a type of coral that feels like a Chamois leather.
Sadly the outboard broke down and we had to paddle everywhere ( good for us really)
( as a postscript we have now fixed it 5 days later, hole in the oil filter and blocked cooling water system)

It’s been a blur. These past few weeks have whizzed by in a whirlwind of special guests, trunk shows and visiting tour groups. There has been a sprinkling of knitting in scarce moments in between. It hardly seems possible that June is on the horizon, but on ticks the year, carrying us with it…
The “uninitiated” might assume that, for knitters, these summer months are idle, clicking needles stilled in to silence. Thankfully there’s absolutely no reason to press the pause button on our favourite activity. If anything, longer days and better light present only more opportunities to indulge! Instead we see project bags filled with finer yarns and Instagram feeds filled with golden light.
These longer days are also providing more time to share and to learn, as the students at the Playful Day workshops did just this past weekend. Kate fostered such a supportive atmosphere in these sessions while sharing her plentiful expertise, and the assembled makers and creatives brought so much to the table themselves with their insightful questions and discussions. We very much look forward to seeing how each of the students will grow and develop their online spaces, and we have a little Instagram challenge planned to build on everything we learned.
On that note, if you’ve a languishing project that needs seaming then the longer evenings are ideal for the task. Not sure where to start? Take our once-off Finishing School class, and we’ll get you on the right track.
Speaking of finishing, there’s the small matter of a certain Spring KAL to wrap up. In case you missed it, we’ve extended the deadline to this weekend. That means that if you post a photo of your finished project in the Ravelry thread before midnight on Sunday 21st May then you will be in with the chance to win some of the fantastic prizes we have on offer.
So. Let the grass grow… there’s knitting to be done.
We had a fantastic afternoon in the shop on Saturday, when we officially kicked off our Spring KAL with a bunch of lovely knitters and a healthy dose of sugar and caffeine!
For many of us swatching was the order of the day, and there was some cajoling, coaxing and convincing to be done about the merits of the task. My own swatch showed just how crucial an exercise it is – on the recommended 3.5mm needles I was no where close to hitting the 23 st tension required. My own version of Carpino will now be knit on 4mm needles.
There were a number of other techniques discussed and demonstrated during the afternoon so, for the benefit of those who couldn’t be there, here are some helpful links to tutorials on the topics that were raised.
By the way, it’s not too late to join in the KAL antics. Anyone who completes their KAL Sweater in TIK Yarn before Saturday 13th of May will be in with the chance to win some of our fabulous prizes. Thanks again to everyone who came along and we hope to see you at our next meet up on Saturday 1st April, if not before!
Today at 3pm we’ll be hosting the official TIK Spring KAL Cast On Party! We’ve a lovely afternoon of tea, cake and knitting planned. We’re looking forward to welcoming our KAL knitters in to the shop for a few tips and tricks on their chosen pattern and for a bit of a general natter too.
If you’re just learning about the KAL today, or if you’ve been following our posts and are still undecided about joining, then rest assured you don’t have to be casting on today. We’ll be delighted to welcome new members over the course of the Knitalong and everyone who completes their project in TIK yarn before Saturday 13th of May will be in the running for our fabulous prizes.
We posted a fun graphic during the week, showing the relative popularity of the four sweater designs. Here’s the very latest update:
As you can see “Ravello” is proving the most popular so far, and we’ve been putting together some lovely colour combinations for this design over the past while. We thought we’d share a few suggestions today, just in case there are a few of you still seeking inspiration…
Can you tell that we got a lovely delivery of Malabrigo Yarns during the week??? Don’t forget that you’ll receive 10% off your KAL yarn, using the code SKAL17 …
We have another gorgeous finished shawl to share with you today – Jenny’s version of Stephen West’s “The Doodler“. This design has been getting a lot of attention in the shop, and it’s easy to see why. The unique construction and clever use of colour both draw the eye, and the beautiful drape and butter-soft texture of Clarendon Sock create a wrap that you would never want to take off.
Jenny used “Toffee Pop”, “Mustard Seeds” and “Velvet” for her version and the effect is really striking. There are so many stunning versions on Ravelry for colour inspiration too. We’re particularly in love with bronze, teal and grey but there’s no limit to the options really!
It’s fair to say that Stephen West is a truly unique knitting pattern designer. He embraces colour and texture wholeheartedly and his designs are created with a true sense of fun and adventure. He frequently encourages knitters to push their boundaries and to see yarn as something to be played with. And if you love this approach then his latest music video is sure to make you smile!
If all that pop is a little too much for you though, then we would still encourage you to look at some of Stephen’s designs in a more pared back light. A case in point is Enchanted Mesa – a stash busting sweater design, with short rows and funky eyelets that draw attention to the changes in colour and texture.
Then look again at versions by MelleChou and KatiWoolF, and suddenly we are using words like “refined” and “elegant”, rather than “wild” and “eye-catching”. One approach may suit you more as a knitter, or you might love both. Either way, you can’t argue that Stephen’s designs are clever and versatile and more than worth paying attention to…
Have you knit any of Stephen West’s designs? Check out Stephen’s latest Mystery Knitalong here. (If you’re not too busy with our Spring KAL, that is!)
While the official cast on date for our Spring Knit-a-long is this coming Saturday the 4th of March, we know there will be some very diligent knitters out there, swatching away in their chose yarns in preparation. Others among you might be reluctant, or even uncomfortable, with the concept of swatching. How do you know how big a swatch should be? Or be sure that you are measuring it correctly?
Well, luckily, we have two very informative blog posts from our archives to share with you today. One covers swatching for flat knitting and the other discusses swatches for knitting in the round.
All of our KAL projects are knit on circular needles and so, ideally, your tension should be measured over a piece of fabric that has been knit in the round. You should still have a read over both tutorials though, as there are some basics covered in the first article and they are referred back to in the second post.
Getting the tension right is an essential part of successful knitting but it’s also very important to be sure that you like the fabric that is being created by your chosen yarn when it is knitted at that gauge. Do you think it will suit the design well? Do you want your fabric to be structured or flowing? Does the yarn show the stitch pattern well? Taking the time to ask these questions before actually casting on for a project is a really worthwhile exercise. It’s all about starting well, before you actually start…
We’re on hand to offer advice and opinions if you have queries about any aspect of your swatching experience. If you are attending the Cast On Party then please bring along your tension pieces. Otherwise feel free to post questions here in the comments, over on the Ravelry thread or on social media using the hashtag #TIKKAL17
It’s almost time to get knitting! Have you chosen your Spring Knit-a-Long pattern yet? Our official cast on date will be Saturday the 4th of March, so there’s still time to review the pattern options discussed in our blog posts from last week. We first looked at Carpino and Ravello, and then learned a little more about Timeless Henley and Nogat. It will be tough to choose a favourite!
How to Sign Up:
Choose your pattern and either purchase and download it direct from Ravelry or come in to the shop where we can purchase it for you, and add it to your Ravelry library.
Select your yarn, buy online or in our shop and receive a 10% discount with the code SKAL17
Make sure we have your details by signing up to be a KAL Member here. When signing up you also can let us know if you’ll be coming along to the our Cast On Party at 3pm on Saturday 4th of March.
A Little Help From Your Friends:
At the Cast On party we will be offering short demonstrations and general technique assistance, so be sure to come along armed with questions! We’ll also feature tips and tricks here on the blog, and there will be group support available through our dedicated thread over on Ravelry.
Ad hoc support will also be available in the shop, on the usual basis (5-10 minutes of assistance once a staff member is free) and you can also post questions to any of our social media accounts (using the hashtag #TIKKAL17) and we’ll get right back to you.
Everyone who completes their project before Saturday the 13th of May will be in with the chance to win some of our fabulous KAL prizes!
Our wonderful featured designers have each sponsored pattern prizes, and there will be TIK Goodie Bags up for grabs too!
Did you spot our Spring Knit-a-Long announcement earlier this week? In that post we introduced two of the four pattern options for this year’s KAL, so today we’re going to take a quick look at the other two designs – Timeless Henley and Nogat.
A refined, tailored sweater with rib and lace details, Joji Locatelli’s Timeless Henley is the sweater that you would wear to Sunday brunch or tea with friends. The buttons on the henley neckline are carried through the design to the deep cuffs on the sleeves, and the lace motif is an easy-to-memorise repeat that lends further interest to the overall design.
Choosing this pattern would allow those of you who are comfortable with Top Down Raglan construction, to try Top Down Set In Sleeves for the first time. This method will require close attention to gauge, which means diligent swatching, but again we’re here to help!
Set In Sleeves are generally considered to be the most flattering of sleeve shapes so, if you’re a fan of seamless knitting, it’s certainly worth giving this method a go. For project inspiration you can click on through to Ravelry here.
Also, to see the best and brightest versions of each design make sure you have selected “Most Favourites” from the drop down menu toward the top of the page.
Nogat really has it all going on: cables, lace, garter and rib plus a glamorous scooped neckline – this is one elegant sweater. The designer, Justyna Lorkowska, describes Nogat as a “lively and adventurous sweater”. This is one adventure we’d love to help you embark on!
We’re back to the Top Down Raglan method here, but the non-standard neckline should add an element of interest to the technique. And then the fun really starts, as every row will combine panels of intriguing stitch patterns.
There are many spectacular finished versions on Ravelry, and it would certainly be worth browsing through the projects to decide on the amount of ease and length that would suit your own shape best. This is one of the many advantages of top-down knitting: you’ll be able to try on the garment and custom fit the project as you go.
Are you ready to join our Spring Knit-a-Long? Check back very soon for all the details on yarn discounts, fabulous prizes and, of course, how to register ahead of the start date of Saturday 4th of March.
It will soon be Knit-a-Long time again here at This is Knit, and this year we’re encouraging you all to dive in to lightweight garment knitting for spring.
This year we’re all about lightweight garments, with a choice of 4 stunning sweaters, all knit in 4-ply yarn and coming from 4 of our favourite Independent Designers.
We’ve selected a range of designs, covering several unique techniques and across a spectrum of skill levels, so there’s something here for everyone. We’d encourage you to choose a pattern that’s just a bit out of your comfort zone though, and then make use of all the support that will be available to make that project a reality. Our aim is to help you learn some new skills along the way and to enjoy the process of knitting along with other members of the extended TIK community.
With four patterns to choose from we’re going to take a closer look today at two of the four designs: Carpino and Ravello.
Check back soon for our post highlighting options three and four for this KAL: “Timeless Henley” and “Nogat”. We’ll wrap everything up in a third blog post, with all the details about the yarn discount, the prizes on offer and the plans for our KAL Cast On Event!
Are you familiar with the top-down raglan technique, but would like to take it to the next level? Then Carpino may be the choice for you. This refined design from Carol Feller features a simple lace repeat that adds texture and interest to the finished garment.
For colour and styling inspiration have a browse through the beautiful selection of finished versions here on Ravelry. As you can see, this design works well in many yarn types, but our suggestions are Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal and Townhouse Yarns Camden Tweed.
Simple and stylish, Ravello by Isabell Kraemer is an ideal easy-going knit for those of you dipping your toes in the 4ply water… This design uses the seamless top-down raglan method too, so there’s no sewing up to worry about. It’s also a perfect choice if you’d like to mix in a bit of stash yarn to your KAL project, as you can base your colour choices around that special skein or two.
Again there’s lots of project inspiration on Ravelry, and we’d be delighted to help you with colour choices in the shop or by email. We think Malabrigo Sock will be a popular option for this design and Juniper Moon Herriot Fine could be a winner too.
So what do you think of our line up so far? Are you tempted to jump in and knit either of these designs? Check back soon for more KAL info (including how to join in!), ahead of our official cast on date of Saturday 4th March…
Nadia brings us some of the unmissable events of 2017…
January is always a time of plotting and planning here at TIK, as we’re sure it is for many of you. We’ve been busy finalising details and setting other wheels in motion and it’s safe to say that we’re very excited about what 2017 is going to bring! Are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s have a look at just some of what’s coming up this year:
Irish Yarn Club
Starting in February you will be seeing the first instalment of the Irish Yarn Club 2017 hitting the hands of the lucky knitters who managed to nab a coveted membership. There will be stunning, never to be repeated, colourways from Hedgehog Fibres, Townhouse Yarns and The Dublin Dye Company and designs by the lovely Carol Feller. If you’d like to be a part of it all then you can still join the pattern-only collection here.
Along with our usual class schedule and tutorials, we have 3 very special workshops with the wonderful Melanie Berg coming up in April. Starting on Saturday the 8th of April, Shawl Design with Melanie Berg is *the* workshop to attend if you want to bring the shawl of your dreams to life. You’d want to be pretty quick clicking that link because there are only 2 places left as I type!
Saturday afternoon Melanie takes it one step further with Design Your Own Mosaic Shawl. Here you will create an original mosaic pattern and Melanie will walk you through all the necessary steps, from casting on, over fitting your pattern into a triangular shape, to finally binding off.
As if that wasn’t enough, on Sunday the 9th of April some lucky knitters are joining Melaine in her workshop on Colourwork Shawls. This class is fully booked but do add your name to the waiting list in case some places become available.
We have a number of other special guests planned, some return visitors and some first-timers! In fact we just revealed yesterday that Kate from the stunning craft and lifestyle blog A Playful Day will be joining us for a weekend of talks and workshops on the 13th and 14th of May. More details shortly, we promise!
It might be worth keeping Saturday the 15th of July free too, as we welcome back a friendly face. You know it’s always good to indulge in some mid-summer technique enhancement…
Ok so that’s enough hint-dropping for now! Make sure you don’t miss any upcoming announcements by signing up to our newsletter here.
The Spring KAL Returns
We’ve been running the TIK Spring Knit-along for several years now and it’s always great fun and leads to lots of stunning FOs. We’ll be mixing things up a little this year, with several projects on offer across a common theme. Have we piqued your interest? Stay tuned for more details of yarn discounts, in-store events, prizes and frolics!
Are you making any exciting plans for 2017? Let us know in the comments we love hearing from you.
And if you need some instant gratification right this second, you can catch our SALE which includes the fabulous Lhasa. Find out more here.
Hello, it’s Nadia (Bunnyt) here, and I’ll be your guide through some of TIK’s favourite Knit-a-longs that are happening this season.
Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the fast pace of Ravelry and you might miss the announcement of your perfect KAL. So how about taking a quick look at today’s round up of Top 5 KAL’s running through this October / November season – it might help you navigate your way to some fun new techniques and a gorgeous FO…
We’re sure by now you have seen Jenny’s inspired Instagram pictures of Townhouse Yarn choices for the Building Blocks MKAL happening over on Ravelry. It can be a little difficult to get your hands on the suggested yarn for the KAL so we think either Fade St. or Clarendon Sock would be the perfect substitute.
This is a mystery KAL so you don’t see what your making until the last clue is released but (if you would like a sneak peek) there are a few spoilers floating around the Ravelry group and on Instagram!
There is also a mini KAL for everything Brioche over in the WestKnits fan club group. This is a nice one if your not up for a full on KAL but would like the support of trying Brioche on a smaller project. The Briocheveron Cowl has been a favourite option for this knit-a-long so far.
After the excitement of her recent workshops here in This is Knit, we are all still wanting a bit more of Woolly. Thankfully we can participate in her 9th mystery hat knit-a-long! This year there is a little bit of a twist: there are 3 hats, each featuring the same stitch pattern, but you can choose between a beret, beanie or slouchy style. You have plenty of time to get your needles and yarn ready for this one. We’re thinking of Dublin Dye DK or Ella Rae DK.
The boards for this are always fast, fun and full of support, so make sure you follow along here. We’re still in awe of Woolly’s approach to hat construction, and this KAL is guaranteed to incorporate her signature fun details and clever techniques. Don’t you just love how Woolly’s mind works?
It wouldn’t be Autumn without a garment KAL from Carol. This year she has a beautiful textured stitch pattern with short row shaping called Luwan. This KAL is happening on Carol’s dedicated KAL group on Ravelry, which is fantastic resource for support direct Carol and from a friendly bunch of fellow KAL-ers.
Luwan is knit from the top down and we think both Malabrigo Rios and Juniper Moon Herriot will work for this design. The original yarn straddles between a DK and Aran weight though, so a tension swatch will be essential before committing. Carol has written a little bit about swatching for this garment over on her blog and it’s definitely worth a read.
If the garment KAL is too big of a commitment, Carol is also running a Wrap up Winter Accessory KAL on the Stolen Stitches group. News is released in her News Reel thread and it’s perfect for the smaller “Knitmas” gift knitting season.
We couldn’t leave out one of favourite shawl designers – Boo Knits always runs a fun knit-a-long and this year is no exception. The Halloween KAL has a little nod to the 400 year anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. The Taboo shawl is a top down crescent shape that has a bit of lace, beads and that Boo Magic. We’re in love with both Findley by Juniper Moon and Townhouse Yarns Trinity 2ply for this spooky KAL…
Do you have a favourite designer running a KAL at the moment? Drop a link in the comments so we can all have a look too! If you’re joining in a KAL and need help with choosing the right yarn for your project then you can drop into the shop – we would only be too happy to help – or you can find us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram as @ThisisKnit.
