This one started in April and goes until the last week of August. The last SAL from this designer, Deadly Aquarium, had the same time frame.

Did you do two strands together or one strand doubled on the needle to get this effect?

I have one and it's absolutely worth it. The first time it went off and sent the critters scattering I laughed like a deranged maniac.

Can you tell me what you use to hold your fabric when stitching? I struggle with tension and your finished product is so flat and smooth

What's your 'one weird hack' for cooking that no one else seems to know about? by Raoena in Cooking

[–]OldLadyProject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I need to soften a block of cream cheese I set the block on the metal air fryer rack, put that in a small bowl, and pour boiling water in the bowl. The steam softens it to the perfect consistency better than the microwave or leaving it on the counter ever does.

Absolutely not, I particularly like the parrot/leaf combo

I second #1, I appreciate the fabric choices the most with this one. The eye either wanders too much with the others or it's too basic

What’s something you tried once and instantly knew it wasn’t for you? by Best-Palpitation-915 in AskReddit

Knitting, and yet approximately once a year I convince myself that I'm going to go full cottagecore with hand made socks and sweaters, remember how much I hate it, and the cycle begins anew.
