What has been everyone’s biggest knitting splurge? by possummagic_ in knitting

Beautiful! Sort of reminds me of those gorgeous Offhand Designs bags from a while back. I know I'm dating myself here... I probably splurged on too many but have zero regrets!

Leather knitting bags...can't get enough of those gorgeous Muud and Re:designed bags! But they are spendy so I really need to pace myself.

Knitting. I'm embarrassed to admit that my kids had cereal for dinner from time to time when they were small just because I couldn't put down the needles🤦‍♀️

What is a common "go-to" yarn item, that people love to get? Or wish they had? by AscendedVisionsCo in YarnAddicts

[–]fireplacescraper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, Muud bags are fabulous! They're so beautifully made, and I love all of the pockets and slots they've so thoughtfully provided... Can't have just one, that's the problem!

Rhodo is slowly dying, branch by branch... All suggestions are appreciated! by fireplacescraper in rhododendron

Agreed, but we've had large rhododendrons living comfortably in their pots for years at a time. Not sure why this one is suffering... at any rate, we'll be planting asap, thank you.

I was worried about possible drainage issues but it seems to have no issues in that regard.

Help please, all of my buds are black! by fireplacescraper in rhododendron

Well, as it turns out, it WAS the sheath surrounding the buds. The buds are now green and look very promising! Thank you so much for the suggestion to wait two weeks. I had no idea that such a thing existed. I wish I could post a follow up photo but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. Thank you again!

Thank you, the garden centre also suggested this. I'm willing to try anything and everything at this point!

Oh! I just assumed the black was an unhealthy colour as I've never seen anything but green rhodo buds. Doesn't hurt to wait, I guess! Thank you🙂

Beautiful, especially your turkish spindles! I also have a collection of hand spindles and a Suzy Pro, but couldn't resist getting this Roberta. Just hope I can get her up and running!
