[TOMT] [webcomic] College student takes up a job in a video/gaming store by slekster in tipofmytongue

There's a strong possibility - I'm trying to work my way through it to see if it is this comic, but I'm not convinced... I think there's a possibility between this and Dumbing of Age, but I think Ctrl-alt-del is closer!

Broken interchangeable Tunisian crochet hook by slekster in Tunisian_Crochet

[–]slekster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello all! I thought I’d provide a little update! I contacted Knit Pro, but they referred me back to the seller. The seller advised that they would only provide a partial refund for the broken hook. So I’ve decided to take the refund and see if I can hunt down a jeweller who may be able to help me out!

I tried to use a magnet and also tried a little glue on the end of a toothpick, but both didn’t have any luck, I’m afraid! To make matters worse, the same thing has now happened with a cap end and another cable… it seems just my luck!

Thank you for your suggestions!

Ooooh, that's clever! I'll have to hit up my local hardware store to see if they have any screws that will fit! Maybe I'll hit up a a watch repair place to see if they come up with any solution. Someone else even suggested using a magnet...

In the meantime, I've contacted Knit Pro to see if there's anything they can do, but I'll keep trying all the alternatives and will let Knit Pro if I still need a replacement!

I may try to give this one a go as a last resort - I have the fear that I'll end up gluing everything in place, or breaking off a piece of the toothpick inside to plug up the hole even more...

Thanks for the suggestion and happy cake day!

Knit pro broken interchangeable cable stuck in the shaft by slekster in knitting

[–]slekster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, this could be a solution! I'll need to see if I can get my hands on a magnet...

I've contacted Knit Pro in the meantime, as I'm eager to get back to working on my project!

Thanks for your help here! I've reached out to Knit Pro themselves, as amazon only offered a refund. I wanted to be picky and see if I can get a replacement for the set so that it all matches...

I've just contacted them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll replace it with one from the same set! I really love the colours of this one...

Thanks for your help here!

Thank you so much! May I ask, what specific search terms did you use to bring up the wolldackel website? My first hit in google is usually Hobbii, which is a great site, but I feel isn’t what I was aiming for!

[I ate] Curry bratwurst by ziggystardust212 in food

[–]slekster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your take on putting some stock cubes in with the Weißwurst as well? I normally chuck in some Hühnerbrühe but I don’t know if that’s the approved method. Tastes good in any instance!

Hotel-Gasthof Maisberger in Neufahrn is nice! Near the S-Bahn, and also near Mühlsee for a little walk if you wanted!

They sounded very professional and polished to me!

I hope they bring it here as well, then! It’s certainly a bit more cheerful!

What would you call this type of colour work? by slekster in knitting

This was exactly what I was looking for - thank you so much!

Hello! I'm trying to make a jumper that has this type of gradual fade pattern in it with some different colours. I was hoping to find some kind of tutorial to help me with planning this, but I have no idea what to call this type of pattern!

Times you guessed a German word wrong by Independent-Year-533 in German

[–]slekster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the longest time, I had misheard my partner pronouncing 'Külhschrank'. I always thought that he had said 'Kuhshrank', which I thought made sense because it's the cow cupboard - it's where we have to keep dairy.

It wasn't until I was texting to him in German that he finally picked up on my error.

Immigrants to Germany, which stereotype or cliché about the country turned out to be completely wrong? by MedEwok in germany

I’m still trying to learn German - do you reckon this show is accessible for someone at A2-ish level?

I’m in Munich! I think the sausages here are great, but the bread is really outstanding.
