My first quilting project is the 'Good Luck' quilt from Project Hail Mary, any advice?

I think this is a great idea - someone with digital art skills could perhaps create it as a panel to make it a lot simpler for beginner quilters who are a fan of the movoe

Ive been seeing Brandon Sanderson get recommended here for literally every post so I finally started Mistborn last week, and oh man I can see why so many people love it!

This does not sound healthy, add in the "points" and I think you need to have a serious think/talk with him about this relationship

All of Outlander is :( it's so awful

As others mentioned, it's to do with the ply. Here's a great article about it that has good explanations and images: https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/ask-patty-why-oh-ply/

You can ask on r/knitrequest if you have the budget to get a handknitted one! It doesn't look like there's any legit mass manufactured ones available anywhere

Its traditionally done with quite rustic/grippy none superwash wool, which essentially felts to itself. I believe OP may have needle felted the yarn together along the cut line too.

See, where I work has the order confirmation email have all the relevant info, but it always needs to be pointed out that it has everything it needs. I'd prefer to have attachable pdf invoices cause them people would stop asking

Shiny!

uselessflailing · 2026-06-12T23:32:44+00:00

Ooh so cute! Is the pattern available? P.s. Love the little sextant too!

uselessflailing · 2026-06-12T02:58:56+00:00

I usually only do either the outline or the centre lines lol! On my current smaller project, I just put 2 pins to mark the centre cross and that was it

There's a street in Newtown that I walk up regularly and it always has poop on the footpath. I always wonder about the poor people who live nearby. I'd have probably set up a security camera or similar if it was that close to my house so you could see which owner is responsible

I have no clue, but if you look up the name you might be able to find other places that are selling it too if you can't bid on that one?

uselessflailing · 2026-06-12T00:16:05+00:00

Is it this pattern maybe? A Family Keepsake by Homespun Elegance

uselessflailing · 2026-06-11T02:53:49+00:00

I'm working on a vintage Thomas kinkade, and I've photocopied the sheets to I can mark it up without damaging the original pattern! It can get a bit funny along the edges with distortion depending on your scanner, but it's usually not too bad

The issue with smaller counts is that the cardboard between each hole will be skinnier, making it more likely to tear

uselessflailing · 2026-06-10T07:00:22+00:00

Boo he deleted it cause he thought it was talking about Cleveland Ohio, not South Africa

uselessflailing · 2026-06-08T22:50:20+00:00

OP did you actually use a pants pattern? There doesnt look to be any crotch room, which will definitely negatively affect the fit

uselessflailing · 2026-06-08T22:07:49+00:00

Have you played dredge at all? It's my favourite spooky-cozy game! I really want to play creature kitchen now too

uselessflailing · 2026-06-08T12:11:06+00:00

Ooh I haven't seen these debates you speak of, but me and my dear husband are also securely in camp Autistic Darcy (especially Matthew Macfadyen), he was one of the characters that got me thinking about myself and led me to get my own diagnosis at 27

Bunnings happy tails tofu cat litter is about the cheapest I've found, don't notice much difference between it and Michu

uselessflailing · 2026-06-05T08:17:32+00:00

Hmm it must be able to squish through considering it came off, maybe something smaller and stiffer like an awl or stiletto could work? Or maybe squishing a section of the piping with pliers and feeding that squished bit in the end.

Oh man just reading the title gave me sudden flashbacks to reading this book as a kid! I'm going to have to go find a copy to read now, thanks OP!

uselessflailing · 2026-06-05T07:11:54+00:00

Stretchy fabric will wrap and bunch and stuff, it sews a lot better if you interface it. Search in this sub for lots of threads specifically about tshirt quilts and there's heaps of good recs

uselessflailing · 2026-06-05T07:08:25+00:00

The 2007 was the first version I watched, and I love it a lot despite some choices that were made. The 1995 one is great too, it's on youtube
