       very excited about this scarf I'm working on for a friend! I started several months ago but none of the yarn I had really worked well for it, and only got new yarn last week. have done a silly amount of experimentation to get the cables and edging how I want them, and am finally actually working on the real thing :)the double-sided cable technique is this really neat trick I learned on the internet but haven't been able to find the source for again. they are all slip-stitch cables and the double-sided effect works by slipping the inactive-color cables next to the active color to get little tubes of fabric. the excess yarn going past the slipped stitches gets drawn completely into the cable stitches once it's a few rows down.I believe the flared edge at the bottom is because the edging stitches are slipped across three rows, so they are under more tension than the rest of the fabric. in my test patch, this came out when I blocked it, so I'm assuming it will be okay here too but I am a bit nervous. if it doesn't work I'll just call it intentional lol

       @jacksonchen666 lmao take a look at this shit 🙃in the process, I discovered that the vscode changelogs are a lie, and the behavior was actually introduced in 1.117 not 1.118. the fix still hasn't been released, so I suspect that the dropoff at the end there is a result of commits authored in the past few days not having been pushed yet rather than actually related to the 1.118 release. charles did have a more optimistic hypotheses, that it might be the result of folks catching on and disabling the flag or leaving vscode entirely. I'm choosing to hope for that one :)(source code to collect and plot data)
