Costco has nice bottles of champagne for $20 a bottle. Just sayin'.
Jews as the targets of antisemitism and conspiracy theories didn't start in 1948. You could nuke Israel off the map and the conspiracy nuts would have a new excuse the next day.
Yup. You can do everything right and still have a meltdown because you stirred your toddler's oatmeal wrong. My husband did that this morning.
Yup. I got chicken pox from my brother 2 years before the vaccine was available. Two weeks of my summer break down the drain.
Instantly gay-up your day with a luxurious brunch!
Exactly. They are angling towards an old style of politics centered spheres of influence. Russia gets parts of Europe and Asia. The US gets South America.Nevermind that this caused two world wars and killed millions. It will work this time!
I hear you, but we also don't know the future. It may be that electoral wins won't help us in the long run, but I'd rather have those wins as a possible tool. It is gonna take a lot of work to get things un-fashy and every possible option needs to be on the table.
This. If people feel less alone and isolated because you showed support, you did something. The ICE raids are as much a psychological tactic as anything else.
Phyllis Schlafy had a whole office of women dismantling rights for other women, all because women fought for their rights to have a voice. A grand tradition of hypocrisy and bullshit
Compost the rich
I am sitting at home, in my own spot on the couch and I worry that I am in someone's way. Granted, I have a toddler, so at any second she could decide that I am in her spot.
My exact thought. Finishing a mitten yesterday felt good! If I had to make 39 more and haul ass to a craft fair on my day off, it would feel sisyphean.
Acorn woodpeckers work on these pantries as a family.And yet, still a fuck ton too man acorns.
Weaving and knitting are built in rows, either rows of loops or rows of threads passing over and under each other. Crochet is built one stitch at a time with the need to precisely place the hook back into the fabric. There are machines that mimic the look of crochet, but it is not true crochet. It can be difficult for a person without experience to tell the difference. There are also some non-commercial level machines that do true crochet. It is still hard to replicate and few reasons to do so
Agreed. Park Rangers want you to be safe and not be a dick in the outdoors. Always ask Park Rangers questions or for recommendations. They're like librarians for the outdoors.
If nothing else, the history books need to mention Newsom and his social media team for this. In 75 years, wanna watch some 8th grader answer test questions about 2025 political trolling
As an archivist, this is my concern. So many of my coolest original documents and letters are cursive. People should not be cut off from primary sources.
Dynamite would surely be worse.
Yep. It is a family pantry. They'll even readjust positions of acorns as they dry so that all of them still fit snugly.
Do not pet the fluffy cows.
Christ on a cracker. I have taken my husband to not one, but TWO Michelin starred restaurants near us (one was a runner up for a fucking James Beard award). The base price for the chef's prix fixe was $150 per person (so $300 for two people, before drinks, tax, and tip). And both of them were more beautiful, more creative, and probably more expertly served than that.
A few years ago, I saw an actual statue of Benjamin Franklin seated on a bench. My first instinct was to sit in his lap. Given what I know about how randy old Benny was, I think he would have wanted random women to honor him this way.
I can understand that. My favorite hobby is knitting and I get this with yarn. Colors that are pretty in the skein but not so great knitted up. Or just the way a particular yarn knits up and feels as you work with it. I hear you.
This. I want them charged with whatever will stick, be clearly proven, and put them away. If we don't handle this now, we're damning future generations to doing this all over again.
I can understand if they're not. You wanna clean up all that ketchup?
You figured it out in the end. Kudos!
Sorry, InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde's response made me realize what you were asking. I used a set of size 15 needle tips on a 50 inch cable and the 87-90 some-odd stitches of the blanket fit quite comfortably. I decided to go big on buying a new cable for my interchangable set.
Have fun with it. I made it for a friend's first baby a few years ago which was the first time I tried mosaic. It is magic!
About a month. Of course, I didn't work on it every day. It uses a bulky yarn, so the stitches are big and make things go faster. A month is pretty fast for an adult size blanket. And because it is all one piece, I didn't have to spend an eternity sewing together blocks, like with some patterns.
If you like baby blankets, Purl Soho has a nice mosaic pattern where I got started. They also have a video tutorial on the technique.https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2015/06/29/mosaic-blanket/
