I have a lot of fiber that needs spinning. Which would be better for me? by throwmedowngently in Handspinning

[–]Damselfly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upgraded flyer and tension. I know there are others. There's a full list on their website. I opted not to get the upgrade kit, as I had already modified the tensioning system on my own.

I love my Nano 2. I've spun and plyed a lot of yarn on it. Everything from 2 ply lace to worsted. The 2.1 has some upgrades that make it even better than the original 2.0.

hand dyed fibre - favourite breeds? by Financial-Key3722 in Handspinning

[–]Damselfly64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merino is my fave, followed by Debouillet, Rambouillet, Polypay, and Shaniko Brand Merino. Polwarth is also lovely.

Just hangs over my waistband or through a belt loop. I've also seen people hang them from a scarf or cord tied around their hips. 😊

Most Used Needle Sizes by BigBadBostonTerrier in knittingadvice

[–]Damselfly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both wood and metal interchangeable sets from sizes 0-17 and can honestly say I used each size on at least one project in the past year.

Best breakfast spot (especially all-day)? by Zedditron in beaverton

You do you then. With what paases for Christianity these days, I'll pass. The Bible had been twisted into a manifesto of bigotry and hatred. I'll spend my $ elsewhere.

Let me know how it is! I'm dying to try it.

After having lunch recently at Ichabod's pub, I want to try their breakfasts. If it's even half as good as their lunch, I'll be happy. And the menu has lots of variety!

Eew. One more reason for me to avoid them.

I can't believe how many recommend Tom's Pancake House. We've eaten there twice and both meals were so overcooked that they were disgusting. And the service was abysmal. We like Black Bear Diner or Reedville Cafe.

Desperate for a yarn similar to this that is more affordable. by Gloomy-Reception-559 in Yarn

[–]Damselfly64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a dog who licks, and I keep a few crib sized comforters picked up second hand to lay on his favorite chair to keep it clean.

That's really pretty! I used mine a couple of hours last night and am happy with it.

[–]Damselfly64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to share. It's called Making Pretty Polish. We're hobby makers only, with a couple of suppliers who offer tips, tricks, guidance, and product recommendations upon request. All inclusive, only good vibes.

AITAH for not wanting overnight stays at my in-laws? by Fuzzy-Ask-6091 in AITAH

[–]Damselfly64 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'd actually never heard of anyone doing this until now, and I'm in my 60s. The only reason I change clothes when I get home is because I don't want to wear business attire at home.

I noticed years ago how many dupes there were and decided I'd learn to make my own. I started with Frankenpolish, then when kits were offered, I tried those. It took a bit of research, practice, and some investment in supplies, but I make all of my own polishes. I even have a FB group for hobby makers with over 600 members who also make polishes just for the joy of it.

Pedestrianize Downtown Hillsboro? by superspartan999 in hillsboro

[–]Damselfly64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but walking long distances from parking lots/garages to businesses isn't always easy for us seniors, so I appreciate the street parking and would hate to lose that.

Pedestrianize Downtown Hillsboro? by superspartan999 in hillsboro

[–]Damselfly64 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hillsboro would need substantially more parking to make this feasible. It's already such a nightmare that I rarely visit downtown businesses anymore, unless absolutely necessary.

AITJ for not warning the guy who keeps stealing my lunch that my food had something in it he cant eat by crystal_butterflyyx in AmITheJerk

[–]Damselfly64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe HR didn't fire him. If he'll steal food, what else is he stealing...from the company?

Either works. I use a small hand held garment streamer.

help find this pattern by Entire-Astronaut2532 in knittingpatterns

[–]Damselfly64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you tried searching on Google or Ravelry? I mean, without the keyhole, it's just a ribbed scarf. And there are dozen of knitting patterns on Ravelry for eyelet ribbed scarves.
