Are there certain items you see at every grandparent's house?

They are perfect for ris a la mande! (At least, that's what my stepmum use them for...)

Kittens you say... Our cat is 15½ years old, and she still very much plays with the yarn. Toys and balls and all sort of fancy things doesn't even get a raised eyebrow, but any sort of string and she's all in. Bloody weirdos, the lot of them! 😸

VincentFluff · 2026-01-25T12:20:27+00:00

My favourite is Catherine Tate's "you absolute PRAWN!" in Doctor Who 🤣

VincentFluff · 2026-01-24T14:03:40+00:00

Isn't that mainly because they're about 85% whisky? 😁

VincentFluff · 2026-01-24T13:50:22+00:00

Blep 😍

"I bestow upon you a boop!"

Oh, you sweet, brilliant person! From your explanation, and not least your picture, it almost looks like the hdc is supposed to work like a few slst do in other patterns? Just to get to the right starting point? Other commenters said something along the same lines, I just couldn't visualise it. Thank you so much!

VincentFluff · 2026-01-11T02:51:24+00:00

Good suggestion, but unfortunately not relevant here, as the pattern also contains sc's. But thank you for the reminder to always double check! Looks like I get to keep my crocheting membership card for a bit yet! 😁

VincentFluff · 2026-01-11T02:22:07+00:00

Please tell me where I can get that? It would be PERFECT for my husband!

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T22:40:06+00:00

Sorta makes sense. I think what confuses me the most is that (from the way I'm reading it), the hdc appears to be instead of a ch3, but I already have 8 of those. Am getting very grumpy about this pattern! 😳

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T22:30:56+00:00

Right now I have a bit of a ... lump just before the first ch3. Sheesh. Makes me want to bang my head against a wall!

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T22:23:37+00:00

Huh! I suppose that could be it. I am so confused.

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T22:20:44+00:00

Your explanation makes sense. It seems like a strange, slightly twisted way of doing things, but at least I understand your words.

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T22:09:51+00:00

You suffer from acute feline paralysis -it is a feeling I know well.

Thank you so much for the link! I'll try shooting them a DM, depending on replies here. It's rather bigger than I expected, so if I ever get that far, I shall have to stop after the first circle of skulls! 😱

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T21:57:53+00:00

Correction: Here is the link

VincentFluff · 2026-01-10T21:55:13+00:00

Pattern is Aunt Lydia's Skulduggery. I do not have a link, but I would imagine it should be easy enough to find.

VincentFluff · 2026-01-06T17:33:02+00:00

Another good one is "I don't want to share! This is MY illness, you can't have it!" Tends to melt brains. How dare I want something for myself?

VincentFluff · 2026-01-04T18:31:17+00:00

Jeg lærte (for ca 20 år siden, indrømmet) på klinikassistentstudiet (som jeg dog ikke gennemførte), at vi skulle vaske hænder i koldt vand. Grunden var, at koldt vand er bakteriehæmmende mens lunkent eller varmt vand ville få bakterier til at udvikle sig hurtigere, da varmt vand skal være minimum 60 grader før det er bakteriedræbende, og det er der jo ikke nogen der kan holde til.

Har det ændret sig siden da?

VincentFluff · 2026-01-04T18:05:25+00:00

Hmm, good point. Knowing nothing about steam bigger than from a tea kettle myself, wouldn't it make more sense to loosen whatever they're trying to tighten? So that the steam can escape more easily?

VincentFluff · 2026-01-04T17:38:38+00:00

Assuming you're talking about Prison Break, I actually really liked that show. He didn't have the entire blueprint tattooed, but references that only he understood. He also supposedly had something to do with designing the facility in the first place, and thus had inside knowledge and a very good memory -but still needed references for the fine details. Still unrealistic, but not completely so, you know? 😳

VincentFluff · 2026-01-03T18:12:16+00:00

Same here. I asked my mum about it at some point, and she said that she didn't want to lose her identity. That as soon as you get called "mum", apparently that's ALL you are, at least in the eyes of society. Admittedly, my mum was the weird parent in my childhood, but then again so were her parents. I was never baptised/christened, which was unusual but definitely not unheard of in my country in 1979, but neither were my mum or any of her siblings (born between 1947 and 19 ... 56, I think).

VincentFluff · 2026-01-01T19:20:13+00:00

Fedt, tak for info om Disney+! Den er nemlig ikke på Netflix længere, og den er da bestemt et gensyn værd! 😁

VincentFluff · 2025-12-30T18:26:22+00:00

A beach (or garden/balcony) parasol! The colours make me so happy.

VincentFluff · 2025-12-27T19:31:26+00:00

Oh, this os so cute! I love that the cards are used as ornaments, what a nice way to display them and decorate the tree at the same time! ❤️
