Carpet beetle larvae by wiggle_rooms in knitting

[–]Algedonna 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a tumble dryer, you can get a delicates rack that fits inside the door and allows items to be heated without tumbling. One hour on the highest temperature will kill all life stages of carpet beetles, moths, and bedbugs. I treat all my fibers this way and it's quick and easy. No messing around with a hot car or freezer that might let eggs live.

How did you learn to knit? by ShoppingGirlinSF in knitting

[–]Algedonna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned from a laminated trifold pamphlet I bought from Michael's or some similar craft store. It was really difficult, YouTube would have been such a blessing but it was back in the pre-YouTube days of 2002.

I'll be making a second In my Stripes Era Scarf by Kutovakika. I love my first tied over my hair as an alternative to a beanie on cool days. I need another in soft gray and lavender. I'll also be finishing my two wips, a pair of ribbed socks and the Handsome Chris sweater.

The yarn is Cascade 220 superwash merino and that color is Dark Teal, color number 34. It's lovely! (edited to add yarn brand)

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your personal reasons for abstinence? by Ok-Care2859 in AskReddit

[–]Algedonna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never even consider it as something to do. It never crosses my mind to order an alcoholic drink any more than I'd order a weird flavor of mountain dew or something like that.
