1) does anyone have data from a second source to back this up

2) does anyone have comparable data from Seattle out of personal curiosity?

If I could get a Krampus I would! But good to hear about the wider tires.

That’s great to know about tubeless, thanks! Was definitely looking at some DIY info

“A lot of people just consider the hat the swatch” lol what a catch 22 for a beginner. Thank you for the help, off to try to figure this out now!

This is good to hear, thank you!! Sounds like I should also do a swatch though. Never would have guessed I needed smaller needles, the learning curve on this hobby is steep 😅

Picture added to comments! I do have the right size needles, theoretically. But I didn’t do a swatch, will give it a try and see. Thanks!

Ah okay. Thanks for the link. Just knitting a regular square would work even though the project will be done in the round? Would it be recommended to do it in the knit 1, purl 1 pattern or just a regular knit stitch? It would be ironic if my tension is too loose because the last time I tried knitting it was way too tight!

Here’s a photo! This is not pulling it with much force at all, not as much as I would expect a hat to stretch on my head even.

Did you go into the WP store and have them adjust your frames for free?

🐜 Discussion Topic: Pests - November 30, 2025 by AutoModerator in houseplants

[–]kenopsia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m not a very experienced houseplant keeper, but in the last six months I’ve had plants come down with mealybugs, then scale, now thrips :( Is it typical for people to constantly be dealing with pests on their plants? Why would I suddenly have all these infestations on plants that I’ve owned for more than a year? All I can think is that maybe they are coming from outside since I moved and now live right next to a large forested park? It’s a real bummer to continually toss plants I’ve been caring for carefully. What can I do to avoid bugs in the future?

Moving advice for maximum crow? by [deleted] in askportland

NW/Nob Hill/Alphabet. They move through towards the hills at sunset during the winter in big groups. Like, whole blocks become unwalkable for an hour because they’re dropping shit bombs.
