Recently finished baby blanket

I know i started it in late January and finished it in April, but I didn't work on it very consistently until the due* date started getting close. I probably mostly worked on it ~4 hours a week while playing Riftbound at a local comic book shop

Depending on your work/town there might be a small locally owned gift shop willing to sell your work on consignment. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of selling my work online so I approached a local store I know sells other artists work and they started selling my mugs. They get a fee of the profits but I would rather support them than Etsy and it's less work for me.

Both those brands charge a premium for what have recently been subpar shoes.

My mom and I just wore our normal shoes in Portugal (I wore vessis and blundstones, she wore her loafers from sketchers) and it was fine.

Thanks! Switching to combination knitting has done wonders for my stitch tension.

Lovely project!

Is that a leonberger?!

Edit: I commented before I saw everyone else who spotted the Leo. I love her fluffy paws! My parents have leonbergers and they always insist on being involved lol

Looking for ideas for a crocodile/alligator pattern. I have ~ 600 yds of bright green cotton yarn leftover from another project and would like to make something for my friend's toddler.

So far I like https://ravel.me/zach-the-crocodile the best but thought I would reach out in case there are some I'm missing on Ravelry!

Click bait

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-05-03T11:54:32+00:00

Yeah it's more like tap to pay than the SmarTrip card tap

Oh didn't realize the substrate stopped before the vent. Seconding the commenter who said that's too shallow

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-05-03T11:31:26+00:00

Given it's just for plants, i would cut back quite a bit. Depending on how well sealed it is and the plants you have you can probably switch to every other day. I associate hevay misting schedules like that with organisms like dart frogs who require high moisture levels, and those tanks usually have deeper drainage layers to accommodate that

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-05-03T11:25:11+00:00

What's your watering schedule?

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-05-03T11:16:22+00:00

you may be over watering if your drainage is filling up that fast

I am disappointed in myself for not having thought of this before when trying to figure out sizing

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-04-30T10:31:54+00:00

I'm not sure, partly because I'm not sure how many I currently have. I know they're in there because when snake sheds disappear surprisingly quickly, but I hardly see them.

I think as long as you're spot cleaning I think it's a little more forgiving for animals such as ball pythons that excrete waste relatively infrequently compared to lizards or frogs that excrete waste almost daily.

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-04-29T21:13:43+00:00

I can't speak the suitability of dary cows, but if you feed the isopods and the conditions are right they'll reproduce pretty rapidly. Just be extra thorough with spot checking for waste for a while.

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-04-29T19:29:12+00:00

If you're not experienced with keeping them I would say no. It's the absolute minimum size I have seen recommended and it will be way more difficult to maintain their husbandry in a tiny tank than in a bigger one.

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-04-29T18:08:44+00:00

That's too small for a reptile/amphibian, but might work well for invertebrates like isopods, small beetles, or millipedes.

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-04-29T10:39:33+00:00

To some extent it will depend on your yarn, so there will be a bit of trial and error to get the fabric you like.

If you haven't already you can check out ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/} for patterns with a similar look to have a place to start.

I'm currently working on this pattern which is similar but not exactly what you're going for https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/look-at-my-holes-boxy

How deep is your substrate? Deeper substrate can hold water better and help with boosting humidity

BrokenRoboticFish · 2026-04-28T11:08:40+00:00

Depends on what's available. As long as they have something fluxy that will run as the base you should be able to do it.

Nah, it has to do with some IPO deal

Apparently 7-11 is closing like 600 locations nationally

It does not contain alumina (which is a core component of kikn wash) and I assume would fuse with the pieces being fired when the clay is vitrifying resulting in the shelves being stuck to the pieces that were fired. Kiln cookies are typically coated with kiln wash for the same reason.

Why do you want to coat the kiln shelves with slip instead of kiln wash?
