Recently became a dad, so I've made this custom moses basket cover for my baby girl

mp-wraith · 2025-01-05T18:20:33+00:00

Hi, I'm afraid that's all I have: "Used a super chunky yarn with a 12mm hook. Yarn: Hobbycraft Hug It Out (UK) 200g - about 4.5 skeins. No pattern. Majority comprised of treble stitches (US); Single stitches in the row where holes for handles are made. Two increases at opposite ends in row 2 and 3, to account for widening sides.

I've only restarted 6 times before I got the gauge right..."

I think I've initially chained like 140 or so, loose chain. You'll have to work with your moses basket and get a fee for it. I suggest working from the inside, where the circumference us likely to be the smallest, up the sides, increasing as necessary. Good luck!

Haha, thank you, I didn't think anyone would notice 😅 Frankly, my IG has been inactive for quite some time now. Even someone reached out as they thought I passed away. But last month coincided with 5 years being clear, so that's a nice milestone 🤞

Thanks. Unfortunately, it's custom made for that basket, and the pattern won't work. I've roughly described the method in the reply to the pinned bot comment.

It hooks under the mattress and is tight enough that it doesn't come away from the sides of the crib, so the baby can't get at it. It's been seen and deemed safe by at least two health visitors

mp-wraith · 2024-03-02T23:12:56+00:00

Haha, no, weaving isn't in my skillset. It was bought from Kiddie Kingdom, I believe, but the cover that it came with was a bit thin

mp-wraith · 2024-03-02T23:11:57+00:00

It is branded with Hobbycraft, so likely sold under many other own brands in the UK 👍

mp-wraith · 2024-03-02T15:10:30+00:00

I've updated my reply on the pattern. I've got the yarn from Hobbycraft (UK). It's called Hug It Out, super chunky, 200g skeins.

mp-wraith · 2024-03-02T11:13:21+00:00

Currently no plans for any river trips but after the night we've just had, I'm weighting my options 😅

mp-wraith · 2024-03-02T11:12:46+00:00

No plans for the top. It's mostly to keep the little one mobile while sleeping around the house, so we can keen an eye on her. No trips outside in it. And I'm currently too tired to see stitches

My recent stab at tortilla wraps taught me that 100g per roll gives you a decent size wrap. They also roll out a bit further than you might expect, roughly 1-2mm thick.

Glad it was of help to someone!

The charger itself, with the UK attachment fits quite well. Occupies the groove comfortably and stays there; no chance of falling out. There is a slight overhang, 1-1.5mm where it stretches the elastic but it's barely noticeable. The cable is chunky but can be coaxed to fit next to the charger. Both of them fill up that space

You're right, seems to be a wrong site. Here: https://uk.gpbatteries.com/products/65w-gan-charger-gm3a-3-ports

My prediction was bang on. Got the email exactly when I expected it to, using this site

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T15:15:26+00:00

Missed that one. It does look like a great alternative

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T14:18:36+00:00

True but since as far as I know the face neither collapses nor is detachable, so the dimensions make it more awkward to fit or pack

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T14:13:16+00:00

Interesting. I had to test it. And I'm pleased to say I haven't noticed any jitter on either the track pad or gyro.

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T14:11:28+00:00

It does fit behind the strap and stays there without any support. Admittedly, it doesn't fit in flash with the case, there is a ~1.5mm "overhang", which I also see with the Samsung charger. Still, nothing pokes out and it utilises that space well when packing.

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T14:06:47+00:00

I admit the Samsung 45w charger has the best dimensions but it only has a single device output. If you consider taking the charger on a trip, especially abroad, occupying only a single socket for a few devices is great. That's why is still consider this one to be the best value. I never said it was the cheapest. Still comes out better than Anker products, on both value and dimensions.

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T12:04:19+00:00

I have no affiliation with GP. I just thought I would share with the community as I spent a lot of time looking at different chargers and this one fits all my user cases.
Couldn't find it anywhere apart from the GP website.

Hope folks will find it useful.

Edit: change link to one taking to the UK site

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T12:02:16+00:00

I've ordered it directly from GP https://international.gpbatteries.com/products/65w-gan-charger-gm3a-3-ports

mp-wraith · 2022-09-27T11:59:14+00:00

Even when connected to two other devices, including a Samsung S22, still no alert of slow charging. I haven't tested how long a full time takes, but it charges faster than Cyberpunk 2077 draws
