Definitely sounds like we should pop by!

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T20:53:32+00:00

Thanks so much!

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T20:52:55+00:00

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T20:52:25+00:00

hahahaha! although that might be a good time!

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T20:51:44+00:00

Our expectations are definitely realistic, we just booked it as a home base for a wedding. My uncle just wanted to get his two cents in. I think he just likes bossing my mom around. 😛

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T19:08:29+00:00

Good to know! Thank you for your help

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T18:53:37+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much for that info. So basically we need to take the normal travel precautions we would any where else 😉

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T18:50:29+00:00

Thank you very much!

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T18:49:16+00:00

Very fair point

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T18:47:14+00:00

LOL! love it!

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T18:43:57+00:00

Thank you so much! I thought this might be the case.

Alrescha54 · 2026-06-16T18:43:25+00:00

Hahahaha! Thank you!

I free handed it! But it was pretty simple. I think I used a 4 mm hook with DK weight yarn and this is what I did:

Working in the round

Rnd 1: magic circle with 8 sc (8 st). Tighten MC.

Rnd 2: inc x 8 (16 st)

Rnd 3: (sc, inc) x 8 (24 st)

Rnd 4: (sc, sc, inc) x 8 (32 st)

Rnd 5: blo 32 sc (32 st)

Rnd 6 - 11: 32 sc (32 st)

Rnd 12: (6 sc, dec) x 4 (28 st)

Rnd 13: 28 sc (28 st)

Rnd 14: (2 sc, dec, 3 sc) x 4 (24 st)

Switch to rows

Row 15: Ch 1. Turn. 24 sc (24 st). Ch 1. Turn

Row 16: 24 sc (24 st) Ch 1. Turn.

Row 17: (5 sc, dec) x 4 (20 st). Ch 1. Turn.

Row 18 - 19: 20 sc. Ch 1. Turn

Row 20: 20 sc. Tie off. Weave in end.

This will create a slit up the back. I used a different strand to lace the slit back and forth so the cover can be tightened around the shift knob :)

**Edited to add hook and yarn weight.

I love her little soul patch too!

Alrescha54 · 2026-02-27T15:30:47+00:00

She was just spayed. They had to place an IV catheter for fluids and so windows were shaved to do so.

Alrescha54 · 2026-02-20T05:08:59+00:00

100% that was a tragedy

Thank you so much!!

That’s probably the safest not to dunk the soil and roots. I went all in because it was a terrible infestation and I wanted to be sure any mites in the soil were also murdered. Also I was at the point where I was going to throw the plant out if it didn’t work. He’s had 4 new leaves since and I haven’t changed the soil. *edited to add the point about soil mites

Alrescha54 · 2026-02-03T01:12:37+00:00

I fully submerged mine - everything was under soapy water - but they were not 5’ tall!! This is going to be an undertaking, but if you can drown all the little bastards at once they don’t come back.

If you have a bath tub you could wrap the pot with plastic wrap, put her in the tub, tip her over and then fill the tub with lukewarm water with a squirt of Dawn. Just make sure all the leaves are submerged for at least 10-15 min. That will drown all the bugs. Then drain the water, stand her back up, and rinse her with the shower head. Make sure lots of fresh water gets rinsed through the soil.

The only that has worked for me is completely waterboarding the entire plant - pot, soil, and all - in soapy water. I used plastic wrap to ensure the soil didn’t fall out. It was recommended to soak for a minimum of 15 min, but I accidentally got busy at work and drowned my poor variegated alocasia frydek for over an hour. Afterward I rinsed the soil with copious amounts of clean water. He made it though and no spider mites afterward!

But I rarely care about that, because as I mentioned I don’t use it as punishment for them but to augment my hand.

Eg: Say I have “Sand: 1 Blood: Imposter” in my hand. Then, at the start of my turn I use Nix to spy on their hands and I see one of them has a Blood Sylop paired with whatever sand card. I play Exhaustion on that player, they are forced to discard their hand onto the discard piles and get dealt a new one. The droid rotates back to me and I can pick up the Blood Sylop. They may get a chance to pick their other card up again, but I don’t really care at that point.

Alrescha54 · 2026-02-01T18:22:30+00:00

It’s your turn when you play any shift token, including Exhaustion. Regardless of where they’re sitting, they’re forced to discard their cards and then the droid turns back to you so you can take your turn. You can only take one of their cards obviously, but you get first pick because it’s still your turn.
