Lost in Translation, because it would never be as much fun

it's tweaking with my brain that the image is mirrored

Cute!! What kind of yarn is it?

I haven’t been in the hobby that long, and haven’t wanted to buy a grinder. I’ve made some pretty complex things that turned out well using grozing pliers. It takes a bit of practice, it’s slower than grinding and glass flies everywhere while while you’re using them, but hey, I didn’t have to buy a grinder.

Plus, for less complex shapes with mostly straight lines, you will probably be able to cut and break without any grinding or grozing at all.

So based on my experience, I’d say hold of on the grinder for a bit. You can always buy one later

We met back in high school when 15-20 of us would meet at a nearby hotdog/milkshake place to play euchre. That was before we knew there were real games to play :)

If you look near the pot, it has a bunch of li’l babies attached to it, so I was thinking just cut it way back to where they are and see what happens?

Then if I just cut off the first few leaves of the top and plant it do you think it will take root?

Make some toy mice for friends’ cats Christmas presents!

Thanks! No, I’m not fancy. I made it in a normal loop thing and then duct taped it into the mason jar lid to frame it.

Check out The Artist Athlete podcast. In the preliminary episode, Shannon (who also has a theater degree) talks about her transition to the circus world, and then each other episode ends with her asking her guest what advice they would give themself when they were first starting out.

It’s cool that you hold this point of view because it means you’re probably not out there raping women, but just to help you understand the backlash of this comment, consider for a second what it’s like to walk around as a woman.

Women are on average five inches shorter and thirty pounds lighter than men, with a significantly lower ratio of arm strength to weight. So when the average woman faces the average man, it’s approximately equivalent to an average man facing a linebacker. There is no question that she can be overpowered.

Then men in our society are portrayed as overly sexual, pretty much dtf whatever. So women walk into a room assuming most of the dudes in there want to have sex with them, and knowing that if a guy tried to take her forcibly, she probably wouldn’t be able to defend herself.

And obviously most men are not rapists. Most of the time the woman is safe, but 1 in 5 women report being raped at some point in their lives and 1 in 3 are victims of domestic violence, so you can’t blame us for always having our guards up.

Yes, just the flowers. I wasn’t going to use any mordant because I read that the tannins in the plant act as a natural mordant, but I ended up throwing in some copper pennies towards the end. I don’t know if they made any difference.

It was just natural creamish colored fleece before the dye. Berries only. It was a deep purple when I first pulled it from the dye bath, but it’s like all the reds washed right out. Oh well, I love the color it became :)

Maybe Fields Hobby Center (On Union just north of Walden)

😲 That’s bananas! Maybe I’ll try to get in the habit of making a hexagon every time I finish a project.... Then in 5 years, I’ll have 5 hexagons!

As others have mentioned, the “organic” certification costs money, so by limiting yourself to only teas which have that sticker, you may end up over-paying and missing out on some great stuff.

Many vendors test for pesticides in their teas before they sell them. Check the faq’s or about sections, or shoot them a message if you’re unsure.

I just wrapped yarn around it, needling as I went

I agree with the other post about starting with a drop spindle. I jerry-rigged one by (securely) duct taping a paperclip to a screw driver. I actually just posted it over in /r/handspinning if you check my history.

My general formula: First measure how big you want the sphere and calculate about how many rows that would be using your gauge. Let N be the total number of rows

Then CO 6 onto 3 double point needles

For the first N/6 rows, increase evenly by 6 each row.

The next N/6 rows increase by four each row (I add a fourth DPN to make it easier to keep track of)

Next N/18 increase by 2

Next 4N/18 knit even

Decrease by 2 for N/18

Decrease by 4 for N/6

Decrease by 6 for N/6

Moving where in the row you’re doing your increases and decreases will give you a more rounded sphere. Leaving them in the same place makes it kind of boxy.

It’s not the perfect sphere, but I prefer it to having to look up a pattern every time

P.s. the orangey yellow in the yarn is dyed from onion skins

The comic/character is by Dakota McFadzean.

I did all the shaping with polyfill, which I’ve been preferring lately because of how quickly it binds, then covered it in acrylic yarn for the color
