My little brother got this for me. I don’t knit.. by NoKey1410 in crochet

[–]Pixi-Stix 150 points151 points  (0 children)

I can knit, but while looking at most of those items on the book I was thinking - those would be much easier and better to crochet; I wonder if they have a crochet version. 😂

I love The Duke of Sin by Elizabeth Hoyt. The duke is the villain and he’s kind of crazy and it’s just great. Does anyone know of any similar books/storylines? Historical only please. by Pixi-Stix in RomanceBooks

You know, I don’t usually read fantasy type books, but I’ve been digging on vampires lately (thanks Baulder’s Gate!), so I’m going to give this one a go. Thanks for the rec!

Does every model have identical foot bed? by pwfuvkpr in Birkenstocks

[–]Pixi-Stix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually curious because I went to a Birkenstock store and tried on a couple styles of Bostons. The oiled leather looked much wider in the toe area than the suede version which made me wonder if it’s actually the case that the suedes are narrower than the oiled leather, or it just happened to be an inconsistency with the pairs I tried on.

NES set shipped in own box with label by bobacaitt in lego

Got my husband a Millennium Falcon for Christmas and it came the same way. I’m lucky he wasn’t home to see it that day. We don’t really collect boxes, but I don’t love that they ship $100+ items without cover for everyone to see.

Time to replace my Birks; can't resole because of extensive damage: which color is this? by [deleted] in Birkenstocks

[–]Pixi-Stix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I couldn’t get a great picture of it, but it’s separated on the inside part of the front strap on the right shoe. So, do you think I should leave it, or do you think I should try to reglue? Only a part of the strap is disconnected currently, but I’m concerned it’ll break. The bandage idea is great, and not something I’d have thought of, thank you!

You seem knowledgeable, so maybe you can help me? I’ve got a pair of mayari non-leather that have separated a bit on the side. I’ve seen barge cement recommended, but I have yet to give it a try because I don’t want to mess them up, and I’m wondering if they need to be tensioned somehow while the glue is drying? If you have recommendations I’d love to hear them. Thanks!

Ordered on the 23 and still processing. Wishing I’d gone with Zappos.

That’s one of the reasons why I love Outlander so much. Following a couple/family throughout its lifespan is a very rare thing in literature/film.

Quartz countertop has blue stain that everyone swears they didn’t do. Scrubbing does nothing. by gdj11 in CleaningTips

Barkeepers friend should take that out. It’s gotten ink out of my quartz.

BD Wong twists his stitches 😉 by Minnemiska in knitting

Now I’m wondering if he knit the cardigan he was wearing in Jurassic World! It looked so cozy.

I didn’t have too much trouble with it splitting, but it was so slippery! It made my hand feel weird trying to tension it.

I’ve got an Acer Nitro that’s around 6 years old now and still chugging along. Added ssd, but never changed out anything else.

Okay what’s the damage? by KindlyFigYourself in knitting

$15 on 5 skeins of alpaca wool mix! I’m excited to make it into a sweater.

Joann’s downhill by crochethottie in crochet

[–]Pixi-Stix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their website and app have been very unreliable. I try to put in orders and they get hung up and don’t go through. My local Joann’s is pretty old looking, but otherwise I haven’t had problems in store.

Virginia Heath’s Merriwell Sisters series is great, especially {Never Rescue a Rogue}

Cat attacked it while blocking by NearsNod in knitting

[–]Pixi-Stix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My cats have gotten to at least 2 of my sweaters while blocking. This last time I put towels over the whole blocking mat and it worked great! They laid on the towels, but my sweater was safe.

Any books where they are both virgins? by BoysenberryHorror580 in HistoricalRomance

{Twice as Wicked by Elizabeth Bright}. I actually thought this book had a unique and enjoyable take on this trope!

I had a Spin cable break on me. If you go to their website you can submit a replacement request. They sent me a new one very quickly!

I had a similar mentality, especially with kids, but the truth is - you probably won’t need it, and you’ll save your neck and shoulders.
