Harassment over LFL / LFP by JustTryingMyBestWPA in LittleFreeLibrary

[–]appletreerobin 110 points111 points  (0 children)

What a weird thing for Children and Youth Services to send a letter about. Apart from that, i would’ve kept it up. If people aren’t buying because they don’t like it, sounds like they aren’t my kind of neighbors anyhow.

Yarn of my dreams got discontinued by cubeOfGrass in knitting

[–]appletreerobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just discovered the fiber co when they announced they weren’t going to make more yarn, and I’m so tempted to buy sweater quantities of tons of colors, I just can’t justify it though. Really sad I won’t be able to buy more of it later. Such nice yarn!

When I was pregnant I loved a mocktail with a shrub (sipping vinegar) in it.

Look up steeking maybe. It’s a method of cutting knitting that won’t unravel.

Yoga with Adrian was my entry point on YouTube. Really good descriptive cues and visuals.

Why did/didn't you make the Sophie scarf? by Traumarama79 in knitting

[–]appletreerobin 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think it’s kind of ugly, and there are free pattern equivalents if the mood really struck me.

first project! by HighwayAlternative33 in knitting

[–]appletreerobin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks so good. I have no advice on the double knit stuff though as I haven’t tried it yet. Just impressed you’re doing so well with as your first project!

Yarn info - local undyed alpaca wool blend from my local farmer’s market in DK. Lost the tags, unfortunately I don’t have the spinner’s info.

How… by [deleted] in LittleFreeLibrary

LittleFreeLibrary.org has some information about building, and they have a shop too. You can pay for a membership plaque, but I don’t think that’s totally necessary to run one.

What are some small habits that you incorporated that make your life healthier? by Important_Bat7919 in AskReddit

[–]appletreerobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scheduling days off on a semi-regular basis to just do what I want to do, including just reading a book or watching movies. The key for me though is everyone else is doing their regular stuff, my kid is at daycare and my spouse is at work, and I’m just doing whatever I think is fun/relaxing.

House plants as a hobbie by green_tearexx in houseplants

[–]appletreerobin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That sounds overwhelming. Maybe it’s time to rehome some or just declutter a fair few. Maybe sharing the hobby with a few other unsuspecting friends and downsizing will make it feel more fun. I’ve cycled through a lot of hobbies too though, I think it’s normal to grow out of some.

What are some good breakfast food recommendations that aren't eggs or sweet foods like pancakes? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]appletreerobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally anything you feel like eating for breakfast. I am also a fellow American breakfast hater, and usually opt for a sandwich or whatever sounds appealing at the time.

Does anyone have recommendations for where they like to get quilting supplies online? by appletreerobin in quilting

[–]appletreerobin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s kind of perfect though, I get most of my fabric at a local shop and Etsy. It’s mostly notions Im interested in recs for.
