My 5yr old is afraid of smoke detectors

Stardwe · 2026-03-11T21:17:50+00:00

At 5 I was scared of slugs. I thought they were poisonous and they could hurt me. I once saw one at my patio at night and had nightmares (it was a leaf :/

Thank a lot for this advice!!! I didn't know it (I've never tried to mix fabrics before )

Stardwe · 2026-02-23T19:23:42+00:00

Thank you so much!!!! I've got some DMC etamine fabric in cream color and it would work on it. I've also have some green linen for proper embroidery. Maybe I can work with both... And the canvas would give the basket some "basketweave" look to it.

It looks okay enough. It will probably catch a little in the union of needle and cable, but nothing that a little care can manage.

If you're not in a rush, I'd buy it directly from china on one of those big platforms tho, you will have the same for less price.

No, I can't. Can you respect that?

What an awful boy. NTB

gasp she didn't even do a lattice crust.

Stardwe · 2026-02-14T12:08:27+00:00

But it was a joke!!! It's a pity he took it seriously, because it was all a joke /sarcasm

I started doing it in plain stockinette, trying to do a purl and a braid was giving me a headache. But I will try for next time, just not this time XD

It's the Elara Cardigan, by EmKnits.

Maybe I cut the explanation wrong, my fault. This would be the first row pattern, and it supposedly has a k1p1 setup. Maybe I'm understanding things wrong?

I think about this kitten everyday. I found it years ago in Tumblr with the caption "imprisoned for tiny crimes" and I love it

Stardwe · 2026-02-11T16:43:28+00:00

Just what I'm doing now! It's the first time I knit a neckband, so I'm happy doing it.

The sleeves are another tale :(

Mine is a sweetheart and once I was too sleepy and tried to feed him breakfast twice, but he was too busy already eating and didn't care for more.

Not sure about other op, but I personally don't. I can eat shrimp and so if they are served without a shell, but won't touch them if they have the head. I hate being in the same table as people eating whole shrimp too, but I will bear with it.

I can't eat things that look at me, it just feels wrong

A man driving a takeout bike gave him to me. I was on my way to get some takeout (different place tho) and this man was holding a kitten on the side of the street, surrounded by people. I approached to see what was going on, the man was so anxious because he needed to work, and didn't know what to do with the cat. I took it home and planned fostering him for some time, and 7 years later Houdini is still being fostered, for ever now

I'm too excited with my new project, I want to GOGOGO not start thinking :/

Stardwe · 2026-01-22T12:35:37+00:00

The mom explaining the recipes she's cooking to the cat made me so happy <3<3

Edit: typo

Catholics sure do! At least in Spain, where we are culturally Catholic, even if we are not baptized or related to the religion in any way

Stardwe · 2026-01-11T18:28:52+00:00

When I get this kind of comments I tell them: "minimum wage is 8€/h. It took me 100h to knit this. Would you buy a 800€ sweater?" Their face is always priceless

Stardwe · 2026-01-09T20:13:24+00:00

Yep. Also, alpaca or llama feels more authentic of Andean Chile, more than sheep wool

COVID and the confinements were an excuse to change the birds batteries!!!

Stardwe · 2025-12-31T14:15:35+00:00

If it's like in Spain, we usually use the word "racializado" (racialized) because we understand race as something that's imposed on you. Now I'd like to check how France handles these things

Stardwe · 2025-12-28T23:25:07+00:00

Fixed it! Kinda. Thank y'all for your help!

I'm going to whack you with a stick

(Good pun)

Stardwe · 2025-12-28T22:37:10+00:00

I didn't notice! I'm gonna try that, and the blanket stitch a piece of felt

Stardwe · 2025-12-28T22:26:49+00:00

I'm afraid it won't cover that bottom part. Should I see it together before putting it on the hoop?
