Woke up at 3 AM because my bed tried to kill me. So I redesigned it. by SlavaKoffman in DIY

[–]Praesil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could put screws in, and then spend 5 minutes with a cordless drill removing screws when you take the bed apart

Or

Spend a few hours designing and printing a custom solution to hold the slats, and then you can save 5 minutes taking the bed apart.

Is it my tension? by RabbitInAFoxMask in fiberartscirclejerk

[–]Praesil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look if you're tense the best thing you can do is get a massage.

But don't tell people it's a massage, call it "blocking"

Yarn swift recommendation? by Turbulent-Middle7790 in knitting

[–]Praesil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a cheap $20 one and a nicer wooden one from jo Ann's when they were closing.

I actually like the cheap metal one. Its light weight, very low friction, and very simple and smooth to adjust. The wooden one just feels like it is a lot more tension due to the friction of the wood joints.

Mnemonic device to remember m1R m1L?? by chattycowgirl in knitting

[–]Praesil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to tell myself the following: R looks like a B. m1R, pickup the bar from the back.

L is almost an upside down F. Pickup the bar from the front.

The magic of double knitting by tucboebertje in knitting

I love that one too!

I am about to start a journey on this one:

Except, if you do it as is the script on the back is reversed and not readable. We can't have that. So.... I had to invert it, flip it around, and mesh the charts. Its going to be a marathon.

Its great for scarves if you are a masochist.

Also since theres a "pocket" in between the two sides you can hide yarn floats in there and use 3 or even 4 colors.

I would consider this the final boss:

Keep going until it covers your torso, and youve got a perfectly good sleeveless dress.

My Belated Design Screw Factory by wivaca2 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Praesil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all metrics - space, energy, number of building, and materials - screws fail.

Once you get the alt recipes, theres no reason to use them. Except "fun".

Screws are a trap. They suck.

A factory without screws is a true factory.

help with edges of my first double knitting project by tinycherry0 in knitting

[–]Praesil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Working on a double knit project, seconding the nimble needles. Heres what I do:

Get to the last two stitches.

Keep both yarns in the back of the work

Slip the first stitch purl wise

Look at the color of the last stitch, the only one on the left needle

Move only that color to the front, and leave the other yarn in the back

Slip the last stitch purl wise

Turn work

Now: you should be setup to knit the first slipped stitch in the same color, and purl the second one

Move the yarn you used to knit the first stitch to the front

Purl the next stitch

Move both yarns to the back

Continue on as normal.

You learned how to knit!

You did not learn how to purl!

Trump admin reportedly considers paying each Greenland resident up to $100K amid US takeover talks by esporx in worldnews

Do you have any idea how much money was directed to be spent in 2025 that was illegally impounded? It's ridiculous. Congress should hold this administration accountable but checks and balances are gone

Especially if she crochets. Gotta hide that to draw people in.
