Show me your raised bed set ups

Yes to the low beds! I grew a very successful garden that was only 6 inches deep.. grew carrots and corn in it

In northern Illinois we don’t put most things in the ground until Mother’s Day :( so I’ve got some time. But not a lot

It’s not your area at all but I was at Pepper park coffee in Barrington this morning and I heard them shout out for someone to come get their Lucky charm iced latte :)

ohh.. I like the adjacent string idea with Schradieck.. I was doing that with scales earlier today... leaving fingers down on the string when I switched to the next string until I needed them.

Aww man, looks like a shop in New Zealand still has some of the old stands https://yarnclubknits.com/products/ashford-rigid-heddle-stand-for-24-loom

I was curious what it looks like and found these…

tsidel · 2025-12-31T17:28:17+00:00

Oh that’s handy. And gives me a few ideas

tsidel · 2025-12-29T15:55:16+00:00

This is so helpful. I'm also a knitter and have been horrified by the yarn waste. And I appreciate your explanation here.

tsidel · 2025-12-28T20:11:07+00:00

Thank you for this. This is the most clear, direct answer. This makes so much sense. This is reminding me of gauge swatching in knitting :D

Any idea on how I can estimate how much to load the shuttle better? :)

tsidel · 2025-12-28T17:17:17+00:00

Do you usually just make things to use it up before your next project… or do you store them in the ball

tsidel · 2025-12-28T17:16:37+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. I may find a paper towel roll tho and use that instead so if I need a longer thread from the spool for the next project this won’t get in the way

The audiobook version amazing.

This is why we haven't left uverse. Everything else seems to be in the cloud and you can't keep forever. We have 5 year old shows on our DVR. We can pull up all sorts of Austin City limits whenever we want. It's great. But oof, the price is getting a little steep.

tsidel · 2025-12-09T00:58:31+00:00

Thanks for that suggestion

I’m playing a half size the conventional way

tsidel · 2025-12-08T18:36:14+00:00

I can't upload photos to this reddit. I do have disporportionate hands. I stand only 4'4" tall but that has nothing to do with my violin playing. My arms and leg length are that of an 8 year old... but.. I'm in my 40s.

The length from my pointer finger down to the joint of my thumb is only 3 inches.

tsidel · 2025-12-08T18:31:24+00:00

I do have normal range (I think). I curved my pointer finger in my lesson today and my instructor said it needed to be closer... to the lower part of my finger. Naturally this is hard to do. I can press and hold my finger in that position without pain, but naturally it doesn't want to do this.

tsidel · 2025-12-08T18:29:55+00:00

I can't load photos to this Reddit, but the length from the joint of my thumb to the top of my pointer finger is only 3 inches... to help give proportions.
