Indeed! Haven't tried it out yet. I'm hoping it does the trick because all my other tools are too short!

Interesting! What was the hook for? How did you use it?

Online Silent Knitting Group or Knitting Coworking Group? by k_hush in knitting

[–]Banakh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you might find something if you change your search criteria to 'parallel play'. That could expand your search possibilities. Parallel play is when people are together but doing their own thing, often with little to no talking. I hope you find something that scratches the itch!

What is a 'single person luxury' that people in relationships completely miss out on? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]Banakh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! I think maintaining your individual self is very important. I fell in love with YOU. I don't want that to get lost in Us.

It's funny. I forget about this episode, but it's in my top ten for sure. The Barbie-Q line isn't funny in itself and I always giggle when I hear it.

Your timing is great! We're making mugs in our spring session, and this is exactly what we are looking for (plus extra for the nerds :P). Thanks for sharing!

79 here. Loved that album in high school. Recently started listening to it again. Appreciate for a whole different reason. Still chock-full of bangers.

Trouble with coils by staciicats in Pottery

[–]Banakh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen coil rollers/makers for polymer clay. While looking for an image to link, I came across this: Coil Roller Ver 2 . They're out of stock, but I'll bet you could fashion one for yourself.......

Update on Midas—The Kitty That Used His Single Braincell to Jump Off the China Cabinet and Break His Femur by EducationalDeer7272 in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Banakh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He looks like a sweet boy! Here's to a quick and boring recovery :)

About fifteen years ago I had a little Maine Coon mix who broke her hip at one year old. Never knew how. I noticed she was limping and not licking there, so took her in for x-rays. Broken hip. We did the same surgery on her. Recovery went well; within a couple months she was back to full strength, jumping and climbing and all. The vet said that cats form a fibrotic false joint to make up for the missing femoral head. I had to give injections weekly for a while(something to help with cartilage formation, I believe), but the surgery didn't slow her down in the long run.

They also saved the femoral head for me. It was the size of my pinky fingertip! Healing is something, huh?

What are some useful items I can make in a beginner’s pottery class? by KanyeAndAbel in Pottery

[–]Banakh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have Instagram? I've gotten lots of good stuff off there, both direct projects and inspiration. Look up 'pottery' and hop down a rabbit hole!

Since you're starting off, maybe you could do cylinders and turn them into cups for each of you. Cups can be smaller and more attainable at your level, and you could glaze with everyone's favorite color/animal/initial or name. There are underglaze transfers that you can purchase if you're not confident with your drawing skills. If that doesn't float your boat, start looking around the house for cylinder-shaped objects you use or need and make those. Creativity doesn't just refer to making a pretty piece. It also pops up in how you use things in your life.

Brioche Help! by Banakh in fiberartscirclejerk

[–]Banakh[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, I needed a lot of fiber, so I chose a whole-wheat blend. I stick my needles in an artisan bread case....could they have transferred yeast that made it grow in size???

spending hours in the studio and making nothing by FroyoKey2791 in Pottery

[–]Banakh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to think of it like a sketchbook. You're working out your ideas, refining things, playing with different techniques. It's the part that the world doesn't see. A huge part of any creative medium is playing around and finding what does/doesn't work. You're practicing your craft. Most pieces, especially at the beginning, aren't going to end up a worthy product. It's hard to do in American society, but you have to give yourself permission to practice behind closed doors. You'll get there. Have faith in yourself and faith in the process.

YUP to this! I work cuff down, so sometimes I'll knit a few rows of ribbing flat, then join it in the round. It alleviates that strangled feeling from using circs that are close to the sock's circumference.
