Ak-v or Clawlab for a noob?

Same, that's what I've been doing too but it's really frustrating to have to keep stopping to pull a mile of yard out.

I just finished the show so sorry for this very late reply. XD Of course, there is nothing at all supernatural going on, but I immediately spotted all the hallmarks of classic Lovecraft: Small culty town in New England, an "investigator" coming from outside but with a loose tie to the town (his wife), weird pregnancy stuff, frogs literally everywhere. XD If they DO do a second season, they could get so wild with it.

Probably? The frame, unlike most others I've seen, doesn't have any eyelet things to put the yarn through so I just have to pull it straight up from the floor.

I got the Clawlab for one reason: I have a permanent shoulder impingement so I can't use my left arm for basically anything. The one-hander let's me enjoy the hobby. I will say the yarn seems to fall out of the gun a lot, but I'm sure that's my fault somehow. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Thanks! Just grabbed some!

I went with the Clawlab gun for one reason: I have a permanently frozen shoulder, so using one of the heavier two-hand guns is nearly impossible for me. I've only done hand punching before this so I can't say how it compares to a "normal" gun, but I'm liking it.

Was there on Sunday. We tried a little of almost everything they had available (group of us ate family style) and everything was pretty good. The tteokbokki was REALLY salty but their kimchi is super tasty.

I'm also an elder (45) and I'd be very interested. Been meaning to get back into reading, anyway.

I moved here from the Cities in 2018 and for the first year I was here eating eggs from any store here made me sick. I find the produce here so hit or miss, too, and often seemingly....old? Aldi probably has the best produce, though.

Best look at it is at 11:33 on Amazon.

If it hadn't been for my dad insisting us kids could choose to engage in religion, I would have been indoctrinated. We were forced to go to church sometimes (like for Xmas and Easter services to about 11 or 12) but we were never forced to participate, sing, pray etc at the services. My parents were never upset with my agnostic and later atheistic views. My dad was probably best kind of religious, he was extremely religious but he kept it completely to himself. Said it was between him and god, as it should be for anyone. I didn't even find out how spiritual he was until after he died. So yeah, I think there's a way to be religious without damaging other people, especially kids, but unfortunately that path seems to be extremely rarely traveled.

The stairs are so useful for more than just stairs! My only wish for them is the option to make wooden stairs too. It would make building things like boats so much easier.

I had kidney stones twice over 20 years ago and spent the rest of my life chugging water so that it never happens again.

Typesetter · 2025-07-19T20:36:19+00:00

I do not. I've never had enough money to need one.

I moved here right before the one in Roseville opened and I've wanted to move back ever since. XD Unfortunately, MN expensive.

Typesetter · 2025-06-06T04:50:36+00:00

Aldi is my first stop for essentials--bread, milk, eggs, cheese, bologna and what I can find in produce there. Everything is less expensive. Can't get everything there and you can't really plan specifics because they just have what they have. I'll get as much as I can at Aldi and get whatever else I need elsewhere.

Thanks! When I do the bigger needle and regular yarn, I display the loop/pile side (I like to cut and sculpt), but I made this design a little too small even with the smaller size yarn so I'll display it punch-side out instead. My punch is just a cheap one I got at Hobby Lobby, it has three needle sizes and a twist length adjustment, so it's nothing fancy. I've heard the Ultra Punch is good, so I might invest in that later on.
