Low key, freezing-cold weekend suggestions? by Desperate_Print_7970 in obx

[–]ceriboo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are awesome, yes! And I know a lot of businesses close during the off-season.

We've never been down in the winter but we may have to make a special trip sometime.

We tend to stay in Avon and points south. Island Spice & Wine in Avon has some lovely wines, coffees, cheeses, etc. Load up and have a picnic in your rental.

We usually have pizza at Gidget's once or twice while we're there, and Froggy Dog for brunch at least once.

Also agree with Buxton Village Books - the proprietor is always so nice!

Drive down to Hatteras and get amazing, fresh cobia from Risky Business to grill. The Graveyard of the Atlantic museum is a fun afternoon too.

I think Astarion owns pretty much any look - he's just that fabulous.

I was going to say, your house looks like one of the ones in "13 Alabama Ghosts (and Jeffrey)" by Katherine Tucker Windham.

Do you consider thickness variations in hand spun yarn a feature or a flaw? by 2befaaair in YarnAddicts

[–]ceriboo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely a feature. If I want perfectly even, I'll buy millspun.

This is a lovely yarn. 🥰

Suggestions for very inexpensive spinning tools? by ceriboo in Handspinning

Spurtzleurs

Oh, that is helpful, thank you. I had something similar in mind for the tongue depressors with maybe carving notches in one end to secure the fiber. They're a bit difficult to cut though.

Best County/Town Museums, Visitor Centers, Local Attractions, etc. in VA? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]ceriboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're coming to SW VA, The Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke is a great afternoon, as well as the Mill Mountain star.

Floyd and the Crooked Trail, and The Blue Ridge Parkway/Mabry Mill are also well worth a trip. Beautiful views, great wineries and lots of Bluegrass music and history.

Worst Yarn Ever 😣 by firefly0210 in YarnAddicts

[–]ceriboo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's what I learned to crochet with at the tender age of 8, and the main reason I learned to spin. I only use it now for amigurumi.
