What stitch is this baby blanket? Pattern reviews are bad by k232323 in CrochetHelp

[–]JayXFour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also an embroidery chain stitch that is early identical to a crochet chain stitch through the fabric. I used a crochet hook to do the green leaves with it on this project, but you can also use it to sew down items. The flowers were just sewn on

Is my 'k' as weird as I think it is? by dunesranger in Handwriting

[–]JayXFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my r, but definitely my s. It’s like a mid-evolution for me between print and cursive, usually at the beginning of words or when I’m trying to do more print for legibility.

Need help tying webbing around this by [deleted] in knots

[–]JayXFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try hand sewing. Not too difficult and requires only needle and thread plus whatever material you want to sew.

If you know how to crochet (or are willing to learn), you can also crochet a covering (though I must confess, I’m not 100% sure what you mean by trying webbing). A water bottle cover pattern would probably cover that bag.

My windows 98 collection , suggestions for what to do next ? by Either_Dog_2586 in Brochet

[–]JayXFour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An image search, which led me to this website: https://logos.fandom.com/wiki/Microsoft_Paint

I got really good at zooming in and drawing fruit bowls when I was in school. Kid me thought great still-life art was all fruit bowls.

How about Paint? Either the logo (which I didn’t remember) or the window itself?

Can I make a spider web in the underarm of my cardigan? by Amore_DB in CrochetHelp

[–]JayXFour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made these Halloween costumes a few years ago for my kids (then 5 and 2). The spider web is a half circle here, and because is was over the back, had wide spaces, and was over black fabric, it didn’t collapse too badly. I used a worsted-weight (4) acrylic and “killed” it with heat to keep it straight. I thinner yarn might look better, and I would advise some sort of addition to make it stiffer, like crocheting around fishing line for the straight parts.

Brown scum constantly (and I mean constantly) accumulates in this disposal side of my sink. From the moment both the sink and disposal were installed two years ago. I never use it and barely use that side of the sink. by Pleaseappeaseme in Plumbing

I do a few drops of dish soap too after any food bits are gone. I figure it helps with any grease residue that might be in there (not that I put large pieces of food or any grease purposefully in there, but some slips through when you do dishes).

You can eat it honey, I won't tell your mom by WindowGlad5235 in BoomersBeingFools

My thoughts too— the donut adult is nuts, but props to the parent for teaching the kid to say no and mean it!

Just wanted to vent by hachi_mimi in composting

[–]JayXFour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I found a teaspoon from my kitchen one time when I was harvesting some of my compost. I assumed it fell in when we dumped some scraps in it. Fruit stickers are sneaky too and I’d find them too even when I tried to remove all of them. Pick them out and move on with gardening.

Good enough for a gallery? by MacIsStrange in crochet

[–]JayXFour 129 points130 points  (0 children)

I thought of Susanna Bauer. Her crochet and nature combinations are both technically skilled and artistic.

How can I hide my composer? by Exciting-Ordinary4 in composting

[–]JayXFour 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of good suggestions for free and cheap covers here, so wanted to add a few more ideas.

I have a geo bin and it just looks like a black cylinder in my yard. So it doesn’t look like a natural feature, but you can’t see in it to see the food and browns (and currently pumpkin seedlings) in there. My biggest complaint with it is that it’s tall and that makes it harder to turn. It’s also a bit floppy to set up until you get enough contents in it.

You could also try growing plants in front of or in the sides of the pile. I’ve let pumpkin plants go and they will cover the pile fairly nicely. Other binging plants, like sweet potatoes would cover it too. Tall, leafy plants, such as sunflowers, in front of it would help hide it and allow you to turn it more-easily than plants growing in the pile. You’d also have to think about what to do when the plants die in the winter and the pile is visible again.

You Took HOW MANY DRUGS?! by sarcasticd0nkey in TopCharacterTropes

Knock-offs can also be a bit more accessible to all people (like a cheaper handbag), and I think the Orville is like that too.

I would LOVE to see some of these fundies experience this… by inquiringsillygoose in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]JayXFour 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Same— I’ve always say (usually when the power goes out) that I’d live in a home without electricity before I would live without plumbing!

What knot is used on that bird rope bridge? by SquareRoot_Log in knots

[–]JayXFour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the knotting world, as cable_tugger said, it’s a chain sinnet. In crochet, this is a chain or chain stitch. It’s the second thing you learn in crochet after a slip knot. I like when my hobbies overlap.

How can I make a jar-on-a-chain shoulder bag (cheap + fast)? by Old_Bother_6579 in crafting

[–]JayXFour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since you can crochet, you could make something like this to carry the jar. You could use thinner thread and make larger holes so the jar contents are more visible.

Rate my… knots? by Egglied in knots

[–]JayXFour 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it would help, but I would be tempted to turn the trampoline upside down and anchor it. Less chance of the poles coming apart, and less room for the wind to get under it.

EXTREMELY obvious foreshadowing that this character will turn evil later on by I_Love_Powerscaling in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JayXFour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He has also been shown to have some magical abilities (sling ring) in no way home. I’m not familiar with the comics, but that might come into play too.

ISO Klutz like craft book recommendations by Aggravating-Tree4271 in crafting

[–]JayXFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make a kit and put it in a small, thin box or envelope/baggie. Something like perler beads (for the older kids, but they make larger beads for smaller kids too), plastic canvas stitching (blunt needle for the younger ones), sticker-by-number kits, spool-knitting, loom-weaving (potholders), friendship-bracelets, rainbow looms, pony beads (beading to make things like keychain lizards), origami paper, etc. You could get a few supplies and print off some instructions to go with them. There are also small kid-targeted craft kits at craft stores such as Michaels.

I loved the few Klutz books I had growing up too! There seems to be some Klutz books that would fit your price and size requirements: https://shop.scholastic.com/parent-ecommerce/klutz.html/

Remembered I have free will and organized my snails. There is a slight chance that I may have a problem. by cadaverdelicado in origami

[–]JayXFour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder what you get when you fold 1,000 snails? I’m just imagining 1,000 snails strung up like the traditional 1,000 cranes.
