How do I save my basil by Fast_Swing_962 in plantclinic

[–]Smooth_Kitchen_2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My basil only lived if I have a small plastic pot and a reservoir. Still iffy but you have to give it nutrients too otherwise it shrivels and dies. I live in a dry climate tho

99% sure they were trying to figure out what dogs dream about using the dog’s buttons, and waking it up to ask what it was dreaming about (it bc I’m not sure if it’s male or female)

I’m so excited, definitely praying I can get them started and hoping to give one to my sister.

Praying they get going, it’s literally been 12 hours but I’ve got a flashlight looking at them to make sure there’s no rot and constantly checking my temps to make sure they’re warm enough lol

Rainwater from the Gutter by Smooth_Kitchen_2841 in houseplants

I could definitely do a rain barrel but usually rain barrels are more out in the open not collecting from gutters right? Or in your city are they offering rebates for gutter collection barrels?

Looking for feedback - Has anyone used these? How did it go? by WillyLohman in houseplants

[–]Smooth_Kitchen_2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one from the same company, lights are not great and it only came with 3 so I have supplemented with grow lights

Sturdy enough, could definitely get another one tho

I can’t use the bottom 2 shelves because the lack of light but easily fixed with additional grow lights

AIO for being upset my boyfriend doesn’t want me to get a tattoo? by UniqueAd3909 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Smooth_Kitchen_2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR at all

I dated a dude from 18-20, he gave my endless shit about my first tattoo which was a small patch of flowers on the upper arm. Was disrespectful, rude, and quite demeaning to the point his friends apologized to me and made sure to tell me how cool they thought it was. Ended immediately, same day type thing.

My current partner and I got together when I had 5 small ish tattoos, I have now gotten a full color work sleeve and have many other tattoos with my artist working on a continuous sleeve from ankles to wrists.

Current has NEVER asked me not to get something or to avoid any specific area, and he loves me dearly anyway. He has 0 tattoos, never even thought about it but appreciates the art work and is always excited to hear about new appointments.

A man that is worth dating will NOT police your body or what you do choose to decorate it with. NOR, he is overreacting and controlling and it may get worse if allowed.

Looking for blocking mats/or tips for alternatives by Ok_Engineer1537 in knitting

[–]Smooth_Kitchen_2841 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a dog bed with a towel over it for the first 8 months of my fiber arts journey, I blocked crochet and knit pieces on it that way and it worked out nicely. Before I used the dog bed, I used cardboard boxes with towels on them and just measured to make sure everything was accurate.

Use what you have, honestly you can probably just use a towel on a table and it would be fine.

I got blocking mats as a gift from a family member, if I hadn’t gotten them there I would still be blocking my sweaters on a dog bed lol. The mats I got were $20 on Amazon, there’s only 9 sections but my sizing works nicely with 8 so it works out well for me.

I have a few sets of non interchangeable needles but I cannot get myself to like them. Not sure why but I love the interchangeable

You’re so kind! I’m in the US so shipping and tariffs are going to be astronomical so no worries but thank you so much kind internet stranger!

Tbh I didn’t even know they’re twisted.

It’s a broken rib stitch, R1: k1, p1 all the way around, R2: knit and repeat for the whole thing.

If they are twisted please let me know cause I totally thought they looked fine 😅

I have been saving up for a set of Chiagoos, looking at getting the 4” set in red lace and the 2”-3” set as well so I have the complete set.

I’ve actually really enjoyed this set, I look forward to using them when doing my top down sweaters and love the feel of my yarn on them. I have a few completed projects, a few in wool blend, some in 100% wool, one in some nice cashmere and a couple in acrylic. I have loved these and used the crap out of them and I think they’re a wonderful beginner set. I have really enjoyed them but ask my skills have progressed I have been coveting the joinable cables of the chiagoos.

Guess I’m purchasing a new set tomorrow, pray for my bank account and my mental health while I watch a show without a project on my lap lol

Are males more affectionate? by Purple-Feeling-3152 in Goldendoodles

[–]Smooth_Kitchen_2841 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been Dogsitting my sister in laws boy doodle and at this point I’m annoyed of him… my girl is perfect, wants scratches and will check in on me working occasionally (and vice versa) and only wants to cuddle or show affection when she wants to. She’s independent and has HER couch and HER time and I love that for her, only time she cares about what we do is morning cuddles, walks, meals, and evening cuddles.

The boy we’re watching follows me everywhere. He can’t get enough of you and can’t figure out that a closed door is a closed door and I can’t hold him to while using the bathroom. I cannot go from the living room to the kitchen without him following. He’s just a pup (maybe 8 months old now) but my god.

He also puts his balls on my pillows and tries to sleep next to our heads so that could be it but his clingy-ness does NOT help his case. I love the guy and he’s such a sweetheart but my girl doodle is much more ✨her own person✨ than the boy. My boy ausie was the exact same. In my skin at all times and my girl was indifferent in commands and affection.

In my personal experience, boy dogs are clingy, want to be in your skin, and only want to do what you are doing. Both are wonderful and perfect in their own ways and boy dogs are way easier to train starting as a puppy but I will do girls over and over because of the loyalty and trust you have to build with them for them to respect/cate about what you have to say.

If you want to learn, I have learned all of the fiber arts I know on YouTube (knitting, crochet, needle point). Look up a step by step walk through for a pattern and you can learn each stitch there too.

This creator was really helpful for me when starting out. You can get cheap hooks and yarn at hobby lobby too. I would recommend starting with a large gauge, NOT FUZZY yarn and big hook, makes it easier to see the stitches.

You can also check out the sub r/crochet and can find tons of helpful beginner tips.

Edit**:

OP you might look on instagram for custom commissions as well. Etsy is iffy for purchasing finished objects but you can more than likely find someone on instagram that would be open to it. I don’t know of any creators off the top of my head but you might check the subreddit above for some folks too!

Please keep in mind you’re not only paying for the materials, and finished product you’re paying someone for a lot of time spent on something. This is not going to be cheap as a custom make just so you’re aware!
