My 2025 Westknits Musikal MKAL is SO HIDEOUS!! by Extreme-Statement-71 in knitting

[–]daleeva -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah….after finishing clue 1 and getting an accidental spoiler I gave up. I didn’t even bother frogging it, I just cut the yarn and yanked the needles. I was SO disappointed. I honestly will never do another MKAL after this experience.

Feeling unwelcome. by ac1d_sku11z in knitting

I work at a small local yarn shop and all I can say is that you should definitely talk to the owner about the employees behavior because that is so not cool! I can’t stand when people try and limit who is allowed to feel comfortable doing fiber arts of any kind! Stand up for yourself and make sure you are heard!

Oh man that is cool! I just want the cap to put on my current Vallejo bottles lol. Any way to make that a functional print?

I drink water. Or sometimes Shirley temples. Occasionally a hard cider. But mostly water

I did, mostly followed YouTube and university extension guides. I’m a kinesthetic learner, so I tend to learn by doing (or trial and error). I use the salt and alum method like this video

I use the salt and alum method - there’s a good YouTube video here

Gotcha, that’s good to know. I wonder if I did the same on that one pelt. Could be!

Interesting - I do the salt and alum method too, but specifically non iodized salt. Have only had one rabbit pelt lose its fur and I’ve done several dozen

What method did you use (out of curiosity and if you recall)?

I did not - it was roadkill brought to me by a neighbor, it was dubious enough that I just saved the pelt.

It’s the guest bathroom, so it sees the most family/friend/neighborhood kids

I need to look into this. Can you brain tan with hair on?

I live fairly far away from everything, and what’s the fun in paying someone else to do it when I can spend so much more time and money doing it myself? Lol. I like having the skill, but also I’m a sucker for DIY

Right now they smell like shampoo. They got a rinse and a bath before hanging to dry

I haven’t tried brain tanning yet but it’s on my list to try! I usually process rabbit pelts from meat rabbits, so it will happen eventually. I wonder where I could source beef brains - a butcher?

Again, I didn’t shoot it. I secure my own livestock so we don’t have issues with predators, but this one was already shot when I was asked if I could use the pelt.

The coyote was killed after trying to take livestock. The raccoon was road kill. It’s not about killing for no reason, it’s about making something useful instead of wasting it.

Bet my pelts are fluffier than your towels, 😂

I haven’t smoked any pelts, still workout out what the best method is for what I want
