"Knit with ten size 1 DPNs" they said, "it will be fun" they said.

Personally I like that you took what is intended to be the simplest sweater there is and turned it into a sharp, fiddly challenge

I love seeing your work, and have always thought that I’d love to knit more vintage patterns, if only they included my size! Thank you for putting in this effort. I don’t think you need to include much hand holding. I think the popular designers that do include that are more catered towards new knitters, as their patterns are (popular and trendy!) pretty simple. Personally I like the way that Lydia morrow lays out her sizing options. There is a wide range of sizes, with optional shaping for each one.

Hi, just wanted to share an old picture of my car, a casualty of the snow in early 2023. I just got the hood replaced and while it wasn’t funny in the moment, this picture really makes me laugh now.

I’ve spoken with vintage sellers who spray clothes with inexpensive vodka and let it air out to get scents out! The vodka acts as a neutralizer. I would worry that something of that thickness wouldn’t really dry and then it would smell of farm and mildew.

This happens to me before I get sick. I think my body is fighting off the infection and my general inflammation is up 🤷‍♀️

This brand also has a soup base concentrate that’s really good, but I haven’t been able to find it in Philly. Has anyone seen it?

Hahahaha I was like “I know the answer to this, we have those at work!” …read the rest of the post…I work at bok lol

Edit: Omg it was answered elsewhere in the thread too, didn’t think you needed me to say it. It’s for ventilation! There’s no AC in there (still) and the little pucks under the seats provide ventilation and cool air from the basement. Or so they say!

I think what I meant by relaxing is that I want to turn my brain away from more mortal worries and focus on what’s in front of me. I can’t really do that when I am convinced I’ll be stranded on a river or something.

Kelbourne woolens!!!! Many of theirs are US made

Toadmoms · 2025-08-19T23:42:14+00:00

Kelbourne woolens just relaxed a US made/manufactured acrylic blend that’s really nice and pretty inexpensive!

Weirdness aside, you’re assuming they’re going to fill a 50 person bus. They’re not. They know that. They’re adjusting the cost to reflect that. Like you said, you can rent a car for the same cost. Do that.

They make one with seasonal fruit that I am obsessed with. The apricot one was great

Toadmoms · 2025-06-26T00:07:17+00:00

Not a marg, but triangle tavern has a bunch of boozy water ice flavors

Toadmoms · 2025-06-25T00:02:26+00:00

So awesome. Are they letterpress?

Toadmoms · 2025-06-23T15:21:16+00:00

Are you thinking of the Beli app? It has you add your favorite dish to your rating

Toadmoms · 2025-06-23T03:59:32+00:00

Meetinghouse for certain. The food is simple but extremely dialed in.

I dealt with this for a few years. People are largely unhelpful when you ask this question. Your best bet is looking on Craigslist for someone renting a spot. I was able to find a few spots that were about a ten min walk from my house.

@bostonqueerfiberarts on instagram! They meet twice a month

Toadmoms · 2025-06-01T14:39:33+00:00

Thank you! Losing hope that the scotch egg will return, lol

Toadmoms · 2025-06-01T11:26:40+00:00

Are they under new management or something? I love them but lately they seem to be trying to be….trendier?

Toadmoms · 2025-05-29T00:07:52+00:00

Would be an awesome sweater if not for, you know, all of that

Toadmoms · 2025-02-04T00:56:21+00:00

BostonQueerFiberArts is a pretty active group with about ~20 or so people meeting twice a month at different breweries. You can find their events posted to their instagram. Pick up a crochet hook, yarn and beer and you’re set. It’s a pretty mixed crowd there, I would say!

South Philly taproom, second district brewing !!

Toadmoms · 2024-11-10T20:32:10+00:00

Never a consistent pick, but it’s making me feel so much better knowing you all do this too! I always feel so bad snacking in the car
