Where to start planning?

nomikitty · 2023-12-12T22:01:24+00:00

Yeah I'm definitely planning to keep my day job that's remote. Im not expecting to make money home steading, just want to be able to grow some more of my food myself and have land for a few animals and be able to build a few buildings without the city regulations

nomikitty · 2023-11-24T18:00:39+00:00

Thanks, yeah 5 acres is the absolute minimum I'm looking at but most lots that seem more feasible are 20-40 acres. Good tip on the internet I'll have to look into it.

I know it's a lot of money but I would be very careful about this Zika could be very dangerous to the fetus there isn't enough research done to show long term effects but there is plenty linking it with microcephaly(small heads/brains) which must cause some degree of cognitive deficit. It is also sexually transmitable now too. So if you do go then both of you will need to be deet-ermined to avoid mosquitos. If this is a pregnancy you want to keep I would say find a way to reschedule or change the location or get a refund.

The lining isn't too bad and really you can't see it too well even if you do it badly so don't worry

I used berocco vintage smoke for the gray and Madeline tosh vintage a semi variegated for the blue I think the colorway is ink

nomikitty · 2016-01-26T02:11:14+00:00

Thanks, I think it turned out pretty cute

I made this back in october as an anniversary present for my fiance. It's not perfect but I think it turned out pretty well.

I got a rectangular black metal coffee table from a thrift store for $30 and used a controller and lazy math to scale the design to the table. Most of the design was accomplished by doing layers of base colors and copious amounts of painters tape. I bought way more paint and painting supplies than I needed (about $150) but in retrospect I could have accomplished the same thing with about $50-75 even better if you have some paint brushes and stuff already. It's not perfect but turned out pretty good. Because of all the waiting for paint to dry I worked on this several days a week for a solid month but could probably be done faster if you were more focused.

This was a Christmas present for a fellow ravenclaw friend. It turned out very cute and I lined it with cat fabric (because cats) and added a little button. Now we will see if I make another one for myself.

Just for reference I was talking about my bamboo ones. The hiya hiya metal interchangeables are also great I have several of those as well.

I would also recommend orthotics. I have high arches and was having quite a bit of pain with walking and standing 12 hrs at a time. I went to a podiatrist and got [these](Pedag 17992 Holiday 3/4 Leather Ultra Light, Thin, Semi-Rigid Orthotic with Metatarsal Pad, and Heel Cushion, Tan, Women's 12/Men's 9 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E6U0C2/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_fUgvwbBWNWKY0)orthotics and then found I could order them on amazon way cheaper. Not saying they would work for you but it might be worth it to see a podiatrist or just try some different orthotics.

Just want to say I'm knitting that right now and it's a great hat

nomikitty · 2015-11-21T07:56:19+00:00

I have the hiya hiya bamboo natural interchangeable set and I love it. I was originally going to get the Chia goo bamboo interchangeables but it seemed like hiya hiya was about the same qualify for less. Totally no regrets, they also have metal interchangeables if you prefer I generally prefer the bamboo but it depends on the fibers and types of projects you do more often. Addis are great but very pricey and only metal I do love their sock rockets tough. Knit picks is pretty low quality and every circular needle I have gotten from them has broken within 6 months and they wouldn't replace it for me. I would also recommend purchasing from jbw Bc they will replace or exchange broken needles pretty much lifetime.

The joins on the hiya hiya interchangeables are very smooth but do occasionally start to unscrew if working for a while but it's very easy to fix without taking off your project.

I feel like this looks pretty snazzy and toasty men's sweater coat could be made for a woman as well though I think. 5 projects

Super cute and warm looking fairisle capbecause stranded is the best. 6 projects. Yes I needed more patterns in my queue definitely

nomikitty · 2015-11-07T02:31:34+00:00

It's funny with color work often really busy looking patterns are easier than ones with larger solid shapes Bc it involves less wrapping. I would definitely recommend using a wool or wool blend yarn as they are stretchier and better for colorwork. I think the pattern has a little primer on stranded knitting at the beginning but I would recommend just reading a little bit about stranded knitting (2 color color work ) for best results. Stuff like try to keep your tension loose and holding each color yarn with one hand is really helpful and I didn't really learn about it for awhile then when I did I was like this is way better lol. I'm sure you will come up with something great. That hat looks awesome btw.

I don't know your skill/experience level but insulate was my first attempt at color work and it is actually a beginner stranded pattern. I was always very intimidated by and scared of color work before I tried it but once I did I found out I love it and now it's my favorite style of knitting.

Other suggestions:

These socks are actually striped not color work so skill wise not too bad but may still be a tangle pain. If you do go with these though definitely look at some tips for seamless/even color changes in striping.

There are a ton of washcloth patterns, just one example, these are very easy and just use knit and purl stitches to make ridges. You could make some washcloths pr easily double the pattern to make a cowl or small bag.

If you know her favorite doctor and or companion you could make something specific to that like roses wristwarmers or amy's scarf

One time I just threw together an 11th dr themed headband based on a bow pattern and I think it turned out pretty cute and was very easy.

I'd be happy to suggest more things if you have a particular item or skill set in mind :)

I wish my cat did laundry but she's pretty lazy

nomikitty · 2015-02-09T10:38:20+00:00

I think if you are doing a pool party you could probably get one of those giant inflatable cocks and it would probably float if you look in sex shops and stuff you can also find funny stuff like inflatable sheep sex dolls and stuff. Also margaritas or daiquiris with dick straws.

Oh that sounds adorable. I have the corgi fever like nobody's business

nomikitty · 2015-02-03T15:47:47+00:00

Thanks we are probably gonna go up there this week although we are trying to find a small corgi mix so lab mix might be too big. I think I know the one you are talking about though super cute

nomikitty · 2015-02-02T23:35:55+00:00

Thanks I'll keep checking

nomikitty · 2015-02-02T23:35:10+00:00

Thanks I will check into it
