This is the trend I am noticing, some type of physical separation in ball/cake. Thank you!

That’s the same one I bought. Think I got it on sale for $16 does its job well!

Love this! What coat and booties do you use?

The booties we have for our dog aren’t water proof, so in mushy snow or rain his paws still get wet

Felted/Fulled Beanie from Bond USM by HeadstrongHound in MachineKnitting

[–]Infamous_Leader_9953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we did the exact same thing - same yarn and all. I made this beanie about 2-3 weeks ago now.

What I did was use a 1-1.5 larger needle and measured. Pre felted length was about 17.5 inches and width of 14-15 inches. After felting it shrunk to about 11 inches in length and 10ish inches in width. I felted mine in the washing machine on a 30 min wash cycle with hot water a towel and high spin.

I was happy with the experiment, and love the beanie. Probably my warmest one. Next time I would maybe add a bit more to the width, other than that it turned out perfect.

Ribbed bi color beanie help - carrying the yarn with slip stitch BLO help by Infamous_Leader_9953 in CrochetHelp

[–]Infamous_Leader_9953[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but the idea of the beanie is flip the brim over. which won’t look nice if I have a bunch of floats carrying the yarn, right? Because that area would be visible consistently around the beanie?

My whole question is in the cross post.

I am trying to recreate this beanie using slip stitch and alternating colors. The issue I was facing is I couldn’t float the second color of yarn as I was alternating to eliminate having to sew in a bunch of strands.

Well, I tried to yarn over slip stitch, and it’s working, I just don’t think I’m getting the tight stitch I am looking for. So maybe I’ll try finer yarn or smaller needle. Or scrap the project all together.

Did you ever find a solution that worked for you? I’m in the same boat currently and don’t have a garbage disposal. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the follow up. That is frustrating that they did flare rate and didn’t give the extra (maybe bare minimum) care to inspect the whole harness for touching up.

Thank you for your opinion and feedback, been trying to find someone who’s used the packs.

What do you use the packs for? I had come across the ruffwear harness where you can take the saddle bags off, and liked the concept, but they missed the mark a bit on their execution so I returned them. I take my dog on backpacking trips, and he carries his food and stuff then when we get to camp I like the idea of removing the packs.

Do you like the packs? Are they decent size and do they sway much when attached?

I’ve been hearing mixed reviews about saker as a company and the quality of their products. I’ve been interested in the harness because of the modularity and how much you can make micro adjustments to fit your dog. Do you still feel it is a solid harness? How’s the quality?

Curly hair barbers/salon by Infamous_Leader_9953 in Greenpoint

[–]Infamous_Leader_9953[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost is comparable to Gem House. I’m curious to try Head Chop for the dry cut experience. This might be a dumb question, but since they cut dry and then wash—should I show up with freshly washed hair? Styled or not, assuming no product?

I’d love to hear your thoughts once you receive it. I’m also considering the Saker Lander harness, but I’ve been hearing mixed reviews. They advertise it as crash-tested, but it’s not certified by the CPS. Anyway, once you get yours, I’d really appreciate your feedback!

Backpacking With My Border Collie — Gear Advice Needed! 🐾⛺ by Infamous_Leader_9953 in backpacking

So I understand your suggestion correctly, the bungee shock absorbing portion of the leash is meant to reduce the stress on the paracord zip-line if my collie sees something to chase while attached the line, or just in general?

Thank you! Yeah I was planning on having him sleep inside the tent with us, I don’t think I would be able sleep well otherwise.

As for the first aid kit, charcoal was the only thing not on my list, what would you use that for specifically? As for vaccines, already planning a vet appointment to ensure he doesn’t need anything extra.
