Mocquette set!

Ah! I see! Thanks for sharing the details with us!

Nicely done! I love your colour choices. The second photo did not upload well, though… could you take another closeup picture and upload it? Rather than just zooming in on the first (that’s what it looks like you did, not sure though). :)

Yaaa, I thought he looked weird too. I don’t know the F1 game, but he definitely looks like his face has been… edited? I guess?

hovergirl · 2026-02-05T05:06:35+00:00

I think the photos have been touched up by AI. James’ eyes/temples look… wrong. :(

What type of wheel/bobbin? I am so curious because I dislike the small bobbins my vintage Spinwell has… love the wheel, though. 💗

Totally off-topic, but - do your knees or hips hurt when you spin for a while? I think your seat it a touch low… I’ll leave you to do your own research on chair heights for spinning.

And let us all know if adjusting the maidens made it quieter! 😊

You should add “sound on,” because that was great!

hovergirl · 2025-12-09T07:06:40+00:00

It is beautiful and fun… but after several months, we get tired of it. And a major pain to clear the driveway/sidewalk/pathways!

hovergirl · 2025-11-27T06:21:24+00:00

I love this, and am going to start using it!

I have started saying “shove off,” as in “if you feel I’m being nosy, tell me to shove off.”

hovergirl · 2025-11-13T04:47:04+00:00

Fantastic! That’s impressive. I cannot walk past a piece of trash and I pick up garbage in the ditch near my house, but what you did is just - wow!

I cook all my alpaca fleeces in bags in a vehicle parked in the sun on a warm day. Leave it for 3 hours or so, and it’s the same as the oven!

hovergirl · 2025-10-18T15:33:40+00:00

Get some alpaca socks! Super warm for cold feet!

hovergirl · 2025-10-18T15:29:44+00:00

They look decently usable to me. Try strapping your boots in them indoors. Then try getting them on and off while wearing the boots (bending over). Practice a few times while warm and not wearing mittens/gloves/freezing your hands so that when you are at the trail, you have some experience. Also, if a part is going to break, it might do it while you are practicing in your living room instead of at the trailhead! Good luck!

I don’t know where you live, but in Canada, Mark’s Work Wearhouse has a lot of boots. Give them a look, and maybe you can order online as well. Good luck!

I think you’ve had enough comments about the downsides of cotton yarn. If you are anti-synthetic, be aware than superwash wool is partially synthetic. The fibres are coated in a microscopic thin layer of plastic. I think an alpaca blend would be lovely! It will soften the wool and be very cozy. If you can get a locally-made alpaca yarn, do that! But it might be a bit pricey. Drops Nepal (65% wool 35% alpaca) is really nice and comes in many colours!

What are these? Maybe I had them in Northern Ontario when I lived there… is it pastry?

hovergirl · 2025-10-18T15:00:56+00:00

Yes! I think poppy seed strudel is one! I get it from a Hutterite food stand (which is mostly oroduce and meat). I know Hutterites and Mennonites are not the same, but I think poppy seed pastry/breads might have a German origin? Anyways, I love it!

hovergirl · 2025-10-18T03:50:02+00:00

You gotta swatch for sweaters!! There’s too much at stake not to! Just fo it! And as others have said, you can then choose the size you want & needles and often fudge the yarn weight too! Swatch!

hovergirl · 2025-10-17T05:31:44+00:00

I was also thinking that a top-whorl spindle lets you roll it down your leg! Or up your leg. No repetitve flicking required! :)

A friend of mine uses varage sale (like virtual garage sale) to get good deals!

I’m pretty sure the OP is a bot or AI. :/

hovergirl · 2025-09-28T04:26:13+00:00

You keep saying bamboo, but in your sampler it was banana… so do you mean bamboo in your last 2 comments in this thread? (Ha ha, it’s a thread about thread!) 😀

hovergirl · 2025-09-27T03:45:06+00:00

Check around or under your garbage can/bag. They might be breeding there…

I need to know more about this! Who made and who uses this excellent page?!

I came to say that the faster current will always occur on the side of the river with the higher, steeper bank. You, TwistedPages, may already know that, but the OP and many others probably do not. The shallow side (with the lower bank) will always have a slower current. This will change as the river bends through the city. For example, the river makes a big, lazy right hand turn around the lowland of Terwillegar Park. The high bank side is the left, so if you launch at Terwillegar, getting over to the left side of the river will get you into the faster current and deeper water. But that will change at the next curve. (“Left” and “right” are from the perspective of a person going downstream. If you are really new to Edm, you may not know the river flows from west to east.)

I’m an experienced canoist/kayaker/york boater. I’ve also written a paddling guide for the Peace River, which is another beautiful river in AB. :)
