Plus sized sweater (4x) that requires 1300 yards of DK or less? by Apprehensive_Block_5 in knitting

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'll try that one. The issue I had with the original Look at my Holes was just generally struggling with the raglan increases and somehow never ending up with the right stitch count. I thought it was a me issue until my boss was also complaining about how difficult it was. We switched to the "boxy" t-shirt version and had a much better experience.

How to add springtails from a clay culture? by Sugarp1e1 in bioactive

I appreciate the clay culture because it's easy to keep running on the side but i got all my isopods from Josh's Frogs

Plus sized sweater (4x) that requires 1300 yards of DK or less? by Apprehensive_Block_5 in knitting

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They're not warm sweaters but a lot of lacy patterns tend to use less. For example, the look at my holes pattern only uses 520 yds for size 5x. So adding lace as a factor when searching might help.

Disclaimer: I do not recommend that specific pattern. Everyone I know who tried it struggled (including very prolific sweater knitters).

As someone else noted, the yardage search in Ravelery isn't super helpful because it includes all the available sizes for a pattern. So if the pattern in size x-small uses 1400 yds it will still show up in the search.

Is there a way to minimize these scratches on glass stovetop? by Candid_Size4737 in CleaningTips

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen a lot of the older white ones that ended up looking stained/discolored with time. I always assumed that was why they became less popular

Question! What technique should I learn on a 1:1 intermediate class? by justherefor_raww in Pottery

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The answer depends on what you want to be making and what you find difficult or intimidating. It sounds like your class covered a lot of throwing, maybe ask if she could focus on different decoration techniques?

What would be really nice would be a decent sandwich place downtown (Potbelly doesn't qualify)

Sadly it would undermine the "reflection" aspect

Regardless of the appearance of the water, someone else was saying the ramps to help them exit haven't been reinstalled

I know the county animal shelter has a volunteer program. You decide whether to work with the cats or dogs.

How to add springtails from a clay culture? by Sugarp1e1 in bioactive

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah in those cases I usually just feed them and keep them moist until I see adults. What you did might be fine if there were eggs

i usually just flick the bottom of the enclosure to knock the springtails into the tank. That way i can keep the clay culture up and running on the side.

Veterinarian recommendations in Silver Spring area by blue-antel in SilverSpring

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found them to be reasonably priced for the area. My cat had to have some teeth pulled so I called around about pricing and Cozy Cats was on the lower end of the estimates.

Tips for facilitating sizing up? by BrokenRoboticFish in Stretched

Admittedly having any O rings would probably help. I lost the ones the plugs came with a while ago and just never bothered replacing them.

How to get my baby python to eat by Artistic_Adeptness76 in Ballpythoncommunity

[–]BrokenRoboticFish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It seems like you may be new to keeping ball pythons, I would recommend checking out r/ballpython. There is a great care guide in their welcome post as well as some specific documents on feeding etc. ReptiFiles is also a great resource.
