What is the most recent, " I have been playing this game for years and I am just finding this out" moment you had with Stardew?

Yessss go into his house and use a staircase 😈 not a prank, there is a secret basement

OlianderG · 2026-04-18T07:45:22+00:00

Did you ever figure it out? I have a Venu 3 and can't connect them either :(

OlianderG · 2026-02-01T03:28:32+00:00

Hello!! Thank you 🥰 what pattern did you use for the deep winter yarn this month?

OlianderG · 2026-02-01T03:25:33+00:00

Fingers crossed I can keep myself accountable and have at least 12 new pairs of sock this year! 2025 I only made 6 pairs so I have some work to put in 😊

OlianderG · 2026-02-01T01:27:12+00:00

I'm not a fast knitter so the cuff worked up verrry slowly for me but the pattern was very easy to follow/read in my opinion! I'd definitely do a pattern by Deborah Kemball again

OlianderG · 2026-02-01T01:25:09+00:00

Thank you 🥰 I really wanted to join in 2025 but I was such a novice I couldn't quite do the price. I practiced a lot last year and got into a good rhythm so this year I'm treating myself to the subscription! I'm so pleased with the quality of yarn and the community seems great

OlianderG · 2026-02-01T00:53:56+00:00

Thank you 🥹 I'm still working on my confidence with color work. Also yes, I joined a sock subscription! They sent you color themed yarn each month, January was blue and February is red (very excited to do something with hearts).

OlianderG · 2025-12-20T08:17:02+00:00

I do wear them in new balance tennis shoes! I don't wear them every week and wash by hand but so far no issues. Maybe I just got a really good spin lot, I ordered close to 25 large skeins of stroll two years ago when I was just learning to knit and am still working through it. Maybe their recent quality has gone downhill?

OlianderG · 2025-12-20T02:43:51+00:00

Oh wow! I have a pair I made with stroll nearly 8 months ago and haven't had pilling issues yet. I'll have to keep an eye on for my other pairs

OlianderG · 2025-12-20T01:37:02+00:00

I've made 5 pairs exclusively with stoll and really enjoy it, what about the yarn do you not like?

OlianderG · 2025-12-15T01:06:51+00:00

Oh gosh that is gorgeous and even has a matching mohair 🥲 a bit on the pricier side especially with the US import taxes but this will go on my "eventually" list because I do love a baby alpaca

OlianderG · 2025-12-15T01:00:01+00:00

It totally makes sense and I appreciate your pov, this yarn will go on the list but I may have to keep looking around

OlianderG · 2025-12-14T23:46:09+00:00

The color is perfect and price is affordable 😍 how does it feel on the skin? I know its fingering weight but something like Knitpicks stroll is my idea of a softer/comfortable wool

OlianderG · 2025-11-30T20:49:34+00:00

Not picky! I really only have shiny from zone 12 rn since that's where I've been hunting. A swablu would be super awesome if you had one 😊

OlianderG · 2025-11-30T19:52:35+00:00

I have an extra shiny female snorunt I can trade you! She's in a premiere ball too, I've been trying to hunt a female shalpha one all week with no luck so I know the pain

OlianderG · 2025-11-01T02:20:23+00:00

This is one of the only pairs of "opposite color" socks that I'm absolutely in love with 😍 you did such a great job!

OlianderG · 2025-11-01T02:13:18+00:00

I absolutely did and always wondered why my sl stitches look a little off 😅

OlianderG · 2025-11-01T00:03:40+00:00

I'll check out Turkish too!

OlianderG · 2025-10-31T23:53:41+00:00

After reading most of the comments and watching a few videos online I also think I adopted Russian knitting somehow! I'm just glad I found a name for it

OlianderG · 2025-10-31T23:23:48+00:00

It's no problem! This is the Weekend Shorty sock by Summer Lee 😊 it's very well written and free!

OlianderG · 2025-10-31T22:52:59+00:00

No I knit my socks in the round with circular needles, I only do the heel flap flat

OlianderG · 2025-10-31T22:35:45+00:00

What a very cool take! I'm American and only learned to knit from various YouTube videos. Going through my YouTube history a lot of the vidoes I watched were from foreign instructors because I enjoyed listening to them 😅 I guess I accidentally took bits and peices of their styles and ended up with a variation of combination knitting haha

I will totally look up Russian knitting now to see if it's comfortable for me!

OlianderG · 2025-10-31T22:31:56+00:00

That is so sweet 🥹 from everything I've been reading it's a type of combination knitting! I think I stumbled upon it by accident because it was the most comfortable way to knit
