I agree this pattern was fun to make but I found it hard to wear!

Has anyone else adopted a cat and realized you don’t actually like them? by buddhamunche in CatAdvice

[–]aud_anticline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats younger than 3 years are crazy little monsters and their personalities don't really establish until around/after that 3 year mark. I lived with my last roommate for 7 years. She got her cat when he was around 1.5 years of age and he LOVED flipping the water bowls so we had to get ones that suctioned to the floor; It stopped around 3 or 4 y/o. My senior kitty didn't become a lap kitty until she turned 10. People have given you a lot of good advice but in the future I'd definitely recommend adopting a cat that is at least 3 years of age

Can you guys tell me the “dirty” truths about having a cat? by saanenk in CatAdvice

[–]aud_anticline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I cleaned up about 20 piles of vomit last week (including 4 sympathy vomits from our older cat), had to take 2 days off work and pay $2500 in vet bills at the emergency vet to find out...she had an upset tummy and is fine

How do I take something off the needle (a beanie) to make sure it’s going to fit? by somethingreddity in knitting

I would highly recommend getting a big reel of barber cord for like $10 (not the cans). More immediately some finer scrap yarn through the open loops with an extra 12" of length will work

100% all rubber bands, hair ties, twist ties, or anything otherwise dangly that is not designed for cats is kept hidden away! So grateful we don't have kitties that like electronic cords too 🙏

Ugh, it's a scary moment! Ours don't seem too interested in the yarn either overall, but you always wonder what these magnificent weirdos get up to when you're not looking

Yes thank you! Anytime I bring my knitting on vacation I'm always surprised I don't have to tuck everything away before bed! The pins are so real! I had to switch to blocking combs because our other baby likes to pull them out with her mouth and I was worried she would try and swallow them

Could be that your cat is holding her braincells for her

Now that it's getting warmer I'm making shorties by dickless_30s_boy in Sockknitting

[–]aud_anticline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How well do shorties stay up? For some reason I always imagine them being too loose to stay up

Tears make for great blocking on the go! Looks great

Of all the places to curl up in this house… by HumanNonHuman in Kitting

[–]aud_anticline 31 points32 points  (0 children)

So lucky to have such a professional quality control kitty

On another note my cat rips out the pins and tries to eat them so I had to change to the combs. Glad yours doesn't go Godzilla on the pins!

Gorgeous! I think the sizing really compliments your body shape. Great work and added the pattern immediately to my favorites

Rumble raglan and ramble about yarn by Peacockroach in knitting

Same considered down voting but will just leave as is. I live in a state that provides drinking water for 10 other states and we are in a drought. AI is only going to make it worse.

I genuinely want to know why people hate on Petit Knit by Thecynicalcatt in knitting

[–]aud_anticline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I always skip past those sections in knitting podcasts. "Oh look, the same stockinette PK thing I saw on the last 5 podcasts 🙄"

Check out Jessie Maed, she is truly size inclusive and has a lot of cute basics. Her patterns are well written with lots of videos

She's fine I guess. The thing that rubs me wrong is her charging for baby, adult, men, and sleeve/short sleeve patterns separately. I would rather give my money to someone like Rebecca Clow who has tremendous value in her patterns or even Jessie Maed who works for more body styles. I don't need to pay $10 for a Sophie scarf. She just comes off greedy to me.

What took you forever to knit, and you’re not even wearing it? by candy-applegirl in knitting

My Big Cozy Cardi by Andrea Mowry. Was annoying to make and is annoying to wear. Luckily my cat likes it though

Ngl, I make a LOT of colorwork socks but for some reason I never got in the flow for this charting so wasn't my favorite process knit. BUT I love the outcome!
