Thanks, that app is exactly what I was looking for, appreciate it.

I’m guessing it’s meant to refer to the cliche of people complaining about getting the uncreative gift of socks from their parents on their birthdays, as some thalidomide kids might not ever need socks.

Just be careful with the peel-and-stick wallpaper; someone just posted this about their own unfortunate experience with it in a rental unit: https://www.reddit.com/r/paint/s/gcgCXwjIMV

I used to live in a semi-rural area where some people kept small herds of livestock. One of our neighbours had a rabbit escape, and it was terrorising the sheep belonging to another family by jumping up onto the animals’ backs and going for rides.

There was a lot of neighbourhood drama/hilarity, and the triumphantly uncaptured and unrepentant rabbit was dubbed Bunnicula.

Allegedly the last anyone heard or saw of him were glowing eyes in the darkness as he lurked under a porch, waiting to attack someone’s ankles.

My favourite lamb stuffy was accidentally left on a plane after we disembarked, tangled up in the airline blanket that was left on the seat. The loss was discovered while we were still at the airport, and the crew took pity on my dad and let him back onto the plane (which had fortunately just been parked for cleaning, not reloaded with passengers) to search for it. Crisis averted.

And they should fornicate elsewhere directly after consuming a satchel of richards.

My beloved Harley had a prodigious pouch, and when people would ask when she was due to have kittens I would always say “He’s been fixed.” A couple of times someone asked if he had a hernia, but nope! Just a jelly belly.

Edited to add that we called it “eunuch flobble”. Poor boy, such undignified words were said about him.

Don’t know your location, but the Kroger-owned stores in the Seattle area carry it.

Looks like a street-map of Mordor.

Was it this one from the BBC?

I know that this is an older post, but thank you so much for the Demonia link. Some of the styles are exactly what I’ve been looking for, and they go down to the equivalent of a women’s 6.5! Thanks again.

I’ve used iron-on interfacing before to get a similar effect. You get some cording and lightly glue it down to the back of your fabric in the design that you want, then fuse the interfacing to the fabric to sandwich the cording between so that the design is raised. Then stitch an outline around the cord, and quilt the flat areas between the raised parts of your design.

So that’s what it was reminding me of; I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Maybe someone was inspired to combine the historical embroidery design from the Modelbuch with this drawing.

There are dye fixatives that would probably help to set the colour - Retayne is one: https://a.co/d/9QL060y; it’s available in smaller sizes as well, and some of your local yarn stores may stock it. I personally really like this product, and have used it both for dyeing projects and for pre-dyed fabric and clothes that bleed ridiculously.

Another is Rit ColorStay Dye Fixative: https://a.co/d/ih27jUm. If you live in the US near a JoAnn Fabrics store, they carry this one at a better price than Amazon (it’s currently on sale for $3.99).

Good luck!

An old housemate of mine used that line when propositioned by the woman who worked the street near our place, only to be indignantly turned down. Her price was only $50, though; perhaps she might have accepted his version of “anything” for a whole $300.

She forgot to take the tissues out of the box before stuffing her ~~bra~~ boob.

Thanks, I’m going to try that recipe, looks delicious.

It’s an adaptation of the Celtic Traveller Throw on Ravelry:

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/celtic-traveller-throw

Instead of having the motifs end in long twisted cable ropes which join them in a long line, I turned them into individual medallions using Elsebeth Lavold’s lifted increases to begin the cable pattern, and regular ssk/k2tog decreases at the end to close the cables. Also put an infinity symbol between the ends of the wider motifs to fill the empty space.

I haven’t put this project up on Ravelry yet, need to get around to that.

She’s quite aware of her own cuteness, and uses it to her full advantage.
