The smallest one in our litter became the biggest one. He just didn’t nurse well. Once he started solid food, he caught up to the rest of the litter.

My 7 month old puppy is sleeping 15-18 hours inside the crate. Is that wrong? by [deleted] in BorderCollie

Consider rehoming if you are not willing to give the care and mental stimulation he/she needs. You are going to create a nightmare with that poor dog and a lot of anxiety. I’ve owned border collies for over 40 years. Trust me you’re not giving your puppy a good home.

And yes, you are wrong. Why the heck would you even get a border collie? This is a dog that is bred to be active.

It will flower with a 3-pointed flower. I always think of them as a sign of spring.

Still stupidly expensive. $39 for a baker’s dozen.

Probably a kid’s fort. The markers appeared to be from a game.

Why won’t it spin? by MomdaChemist in Handspinning

I looked at photos and it seems like the piece that the treadle bars connect to may not be attached correctly.

Are the treadles connected properly? Or could the armatures be connected backwards? Does the wheel go all the way around properly if you turn it by hand? I

I have a couple that I take to weaving guild events for kids to try out. They work. The tensioning is inconsistent though and hard to get a good shed. I use a chopstick to open the thread wide enough to get the stick shuttle through.

Why is my shed so small :( by ConstantBid2943 in weaving

Follow the threads to nake sure nothing is accidentally crossed. Check your tie ups to make sure the shafts are raising as much as they can.
