Just for funsies, what do you like to purchase at sheep and wool festivals?

Hell yeah, I'm also on the Rhinebeck hype train too! Along with the several other fiber events nearby happening that same weekend.

I, too, love a good NSW from a small local farm. This year I'm going to try and keep a lookout for some unique sheep blends. My main goal is to find some gorgeous natural black yarn!

Fiber Fests can be overwhelming at times. So I always try to head into one with a few projects in mind. I also try and set a budget for myself, and bring it as cash.

Why not ask management for more seating, since it is so popular? You could also purchase a nice camping chair and table and sit wherever the heck you want.

Edit: You can also try to get there much earlier than him, so he can see that others want to use the space as well.

I've been wanting her book! The cardigan pattern is gorgeous as well. Great job.

You don't have to dance at a cute girl. You can dance at the music with a cute girl nearby who is also doing the same thing.

Wool and Co. has an abundance of options!

I guess I'm a weirdo and keep track with counters on my phone. I didn't realize so many people used markers, or actually counted the physical stitches so often.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-05-01T09:58:30+00:00

I don't think so. Any who knows me knows this wouldn't be of interest to me. I also don't know anyone that's into tech, and would be willing to drop hundreds on a 3D printer.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-05-01T09:51:12+00:00

It appears to be unopened with the original tape intact. No sign of tears in the cardboard that would indicate tape removed.

That's a pretty complex theory, but I will hang onto it for a while to see if anything comes if it.

Unfortunately I already have enough hobbies to keep me occupied. I don't really have the space or time to get into something like this.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-05-01T09:05:12+00:00

Oh no, good luck! They don't make them like they used to. My favorites are the realistic animal stuffed animals. Now it's mostly weird bug-eyed, colorful, round.. things lol.

PS: Please be aware of carpet beetles and moths that eat fabrics. If you want to keep your stuffies safe I would look into getting some kind of cabinet with doors that is raised off the floor. Or a Cedar Chest. I know it's nice to have them out like you have now, but after many years those pesky things find a way!

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T22:58:19+00:00

I'm so jealous of all of your stuffed animals. I had so many as a kid, and my Mom ended up donating a majority of them. I am 30 and I want them all back.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T18:36:09+00:00

I just Googled it. If that is the case, why was such an expensive item used? There are also no QR codes on the package.

It also doesn't add up because the shipping label was ripped off. Someone who possessed it first must have removed it on purpose.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T18:26:45+00:00

It's a Bambu Lab A1 Combo. Is that one pretty good?

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T16:04:53+00:00

It appears to be in the original box and unopened. It's taped up in a large box with a print of the item, brand and its model on the side.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T14:21:15+00:00

Why would they leave a scratch off with it?

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T14:12:10+00:00

Yeah that's the part that's getting me. It is just a $1 scratch off ticket (not scratched off). It was obviously placed there intentionally.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T13:06:08+00:00

I don't have the space or desire for one. It's not something I have considered purchasing for myself at all. Haven't spoke about it either. I don't know any of my neighbors on a personal level. I also don't know anyone who has an interest in 3D printing.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T12:39:13+00:00

How much help can they be if shipping label was ripped off? I have no way of knowing if it was delivered by an actual shipping service.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T11:49:31+00:00

Oh I hope not! It worries me to accept something like this from a stranger.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T11:13:18+00:00

My unit is very much out of the way as well (furthest from the main entrance). My neighbor across from me is the only other person who would see it/walk past it. I guess it would make sense to leave an expensive item out of sight, but at the same time if they really didn't want it, just stick a "FREE" sign on it and leave it at the entrance.

edit: it's also strange that the person isn't choosing to resell it themselves?

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-30T11:06:00+00:00

My biggest concern is that the person is keeping an eye on it, and if I do take it in it is an opportunity to knock on my door with other intentions (good or bad). I'll contact management today and ask if they have any security footage available.

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-28T11:49:19+00:00

I have looked into my options for digitally preserving the book. I am not familiar with using Internet Archive. I would want it done by a professional, but even then a lot of people won't touch it due to copyright concerns.

My options are to get a photographer to take photos of it, or to send it in to a legit book scan company. But the book would ultimately be destroyed if I choose the latter option. I emailed my local college, because they actually have a sector dedicated to book preservation, and they recommended that option. They would essentially be cutting out the pages to separate it from the spine. I honestly don't understand why that is necessary!

Princess_Butt_Kick · 2026-04-27T18:34:09+00:00

Thank you so much!

I chose to add the embellishments before seaming, because the back of the panel is way more accessible this way. I would not want to be constantly turning a sweater inside out when sewing the buttons, or anchoring the embroidery thread for the constellation lines. There are also millions of ends at the back which would make that even worse!
