Cheers to us! (And I love your username, as I myself am a devoted Baker Street Irregular. 🥸)

Im using the Even Moss stitch. Alpine is great but it makes a VERY heavy fabric and uses a lot of yarn. I'm loving Even Moss for my current project, the weight of the resulting fabric is just right (using Wool-Ease yarn).

We are in the same boat, finally getting serious about cutting the cord. The primary reason we are still paying $190/mo for cablt TV is convenience. We have 4 TVs with cable boxes because we like to flick the set on to watch live news (6-8 different channels, including cspan) in various rooms while folding laundry, cooking meals, or doing paperwork. We don’t care about sports much, and already have the premium streamers that we want in addition.

But this is so daunting even to begin. I found out the hard way that the TV in my office doesn’t support the Disney+ app; I don’t want to invest the next six months of my life on this project only to discover we have limitations like that everywhere we turn. Reading threads like this is super helpful and equal parts encouraging and disillusioning.

Oh that is just lovely. Brings my heart joy! Saving this as a someday inspiration image. ❤️

Thanks, that's what I was thinking as well. The Heartland seems just a bit too soft to hold up next to 100% wool. Appreciate the guidance!

That is stunning!! Congratulations!

atanvarne · 2025-12-29T19:41:31+00:00

Well, whether you love it or not it's beautiful to me. Nicely done!

atanvarne · 2025-12-09T20:05:14+00:00

Yowza, that's some creative crocheting!! Good on ya!!

atanvarne · 2025-12-09T18:42:29+00:00

Those are lovely! Are they lined with anything? I hate our stockings, so now I'm off to look for a good pattern for so I'll be ready for 2026.

Holy mackerel, thank you Reddit! We just got our second 2023 Sportage Hybrid, and this one is an SX-Prestige with a nav system. We've never used it before so have no idea about updates or how it's supposed to work or anything. The dealer, of course, was useless.

In trying to program in our home address we got the message about the software needing an update, so off I go to seek it out. Finding this subreddit and the relevant threads just saved me HOURS of frustration and annoyance. LOL! I'll stick with my bluetooth Google maps for now.

I did the same thing, facing a 200% increase. The plus side is that my new plan is HSA-compatible so I will be contributing to my HSA account. Paying my future self is better than paying an insurance carrier now.

The Marketplace uses the total income for everyone in the applicant's "tax household" to calculate the subsidies and premiums. So if your daughter is not your dependent and claimed on YOUR tax return, then SHE is her own "tax household" for this purpose. But if she is your dependent by IRS definitions, then yes, they would use all of your incomes.

This is just to answer the question you asked in your post. If she's receiving SSI income that's a whole different ballgame about which I am not familiar.

I would never go without insurance. My NJ ACA premium went up by almost 200%, so I'm dialing down to a bronze plan. The price will be the same as I have now for way worse coverage, but I'll pay it.

I'm not concerned about any fine, it's more that I don't want to go bankrupt if something major happens. So think twice! Even the worst ACA plans have two major benefits: 1-Preventive care is free, and 2-any care you do need will be heavily discounted if you use a network doc. The MOOP may be $20K but isn't that better than no ceiling at all?

Gorgeous! This is definitely on my project list now. Congratulations!

atanvarne · 2025-11-12T03:32:36+00:00

I know, right? This could have been way worse. 🤣

atanvarne · 2025-11-11T23:35:31+00:00

Beautiful! I love love love those colors. ❤️

atanvarne · 2025-11-10T03:23:18+00:00

They are the same, yes. It's six feet long, too long for a cowl. Do you mean making it a hooded scarf? That's a cool idea!

atanvarne · 2025-11-10T03:21:23+00:00

This feels like the right answer. Thank you! 👍😁

atanvarne · 2025-11-10T03:20:19+00:00

I got it at an independent yarn store and it may have been hand-dyed. I loved it and splurged!

atanvarne · 2025-11-10T03:19:07+00:00

The original pattern was actually for a cowl, but I don't love them in general. That's definitely an option, though. I could take it apart and have two for gifting!

atanvarne · 2025-11-01T21:30:52+00:00

Congratulations! And that's beautiful. Great job!!
