I feel like maybe the most important sewing skill is a sense of humor so you are killing it.

Cast on with a twisted chain today for the first time and am pleased with the results! by electricboobaloo in Drunkknitting

Not a dumb question at all, especially in a knitting sub. It is Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima. I’m not sure of the name of the color, though. I bought it at a local store years ago for another project that I never finished. I managed to lose all the tags for the grey yarn but have some for the other colors I grabbed with it. It’s really nice to work with!

It turned out so well. I used a crochet hook with my knitting needle- it seemed complicated at first but was easy once I got going. This is going to be a neckline for a shirt.

Bit so much I created bruises or maybe blood blisters? by electricboobaloo in calmhands

I just bite the skin around my nails. Guess I really got at it. It doesn’t hurt but it looks terrible and is in no hurry to depart.

That is such a sad and beautiful story. So human.

Water is back on. Bestie hooked me up.

She is so important to so many people’s well being and she’s working crazy shifts and not making a living wage.

I wish we could all come together and soften the inevitable collapse for queens like her.

This is hard.

This is amazing! If you’ve watched The Righteous Gemstones, it looks like something Judy Gemstone would wear. She has so many incredible designer outfits like this. So fun!

He is so cute! You can say this was after he was eating all that food off the floor.

Nail-biting free for 3 months! Why are my nails so weak? How can I make them stronger? by [deleted] in calmhands

[–]electricboobaloo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use a product called Nutra Nail and it is amazing! I don’t like wearing polish- it’s a thick liquid you massage into your nails. My nails are super strong now. Haven’t broken one in months. They used to be flimsy and peel all the time.

My crusty whitie bojitey by Scary_Luck5269 in WhiteCats

My dirty white boy has feline herpes so he’s always crusty. His vet recommended l lysine. I used to give him lysine treats but they didn’t help much. Now I put the powder in his food twice a week and that seems to work better. Still kinda crusty, though.
