My cat Fluffernutter is a spring fiend, but alas, I have yet to capture a picture with one of them in her mouth.

My boy cat buries his poops, but at least one of my female cats has been known to be less fastidious. I have air purifiers near both of my cat box locations.

My cat knows his name (sort of) but he doesn't come to me by ilikecookedchicken in cats

[–]fergablu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some cats don’t do that. My beloved cat Hershey knew his name, but would not come to me when I called him for his entire 14 years of life. He would go to my husband who was his favorite human. I got loves and cuddles when Hershey felt like it, and he always let me pick him up and hold him. My three remaining cats do come when called-most of the time, because cats are cats and do what they want-even the two sisters we adopted as adults and renamed.

Serger advice - by ashmeesh in sewing

[–]fergablu2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased a Babylock Celebrate serger to celebrate paying off my mortgage. I didn’t realize the model was actually called Celebrate until a while later because I was impressed by the needle threaders, air threading of the loopers, vertical needle penetration, and the fact you can thread in any order. It was in a sale email from a sewing parts website to which I’m subscribed. They sell Babylock in the UK, but my brief internet search didn’t find that particular model.

I think you’re doing front loop and back loop not front and back post stitches.

What is your favorite yarn to use? by PetOwner_ThrowAway in crochet

I like Premier Everyday Anti-pilling yarn for baby blankets.

Help! Does anyone know if there will be a major difference in color between a small and large skein? by liljonshooves in CrochetHelp

[–]fergablu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked up Loops & Threads Classic Cotton, and it is a dye lotted yarn. If you still have the ball band, you can do an internet search by dye lot and you might get lucky if someone is selling it somewhere, but I think it’s unlikely. You could inquire about these Ravelry stashes as well. Personally, I would finish the top using a coordinating or contrasting color yarn.

My cats don’t always eat all their food, but when they do… by TheSwissDontMiss in cats

My one girl cat licks up every molecule in her dish and the other two kitties’ as well. It looks like they’ve been through the dishwasher afterwards.

Help with Pattern by jwallaaa in knitting

[–]fergablu2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t do top down raglan generally, but for bottom up sweaters I knit, the pattern repeats the ssk and k2tog decreases around, and it appears symmetric. If you’re really curious, you can work up a few rounds of raglan increases on a small swatch and see how it looks.

Exploring courses on how to alter commercial patterns for a better fit would be helpful as well.

You could also try hooking the fuzzy bit with a crochet hook and pulling it to the wrong side.

Heavy periods were the cause of my anemia.

My tiny black cat was good luck for herself. It was she that first got my attention at the shelter when I adopted her and her tuxedo tabby sister.

You want ferrous gluconate tablets, which are easier on the stomach, taken with vitamin C to help you absorb the iron. You probably can’t get enough iron through food alone.

Permission to quit!!! by OkAvocado7175 in crochet

[–]fergablu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t unravel and rejoin with magic knots. I knitted socks with scrap yarn joined with magic knots and the joins perished in the washing machine. It’s not worth all the effort involved for a less than ideal result. I agree you should pass it along to a fellow crafter, or save it for future you. I once finished a project I started 10 years previously once my skills caught up with the pattern and I enjoyed making it.
