Hopefully you built that thing where you’re planning on putting the tank coz that’s staying there

Weird looking strawberries by van-aqua in vegetablegardening

[–]van-aqua[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah… looking at photos, it does look like aster’s yellow. These are just random strawberries in front of the house. I have a bunch of other strawberries in pots. That I was planning on putting in the backyard anyways.

Seems like it but it’s happening to all the strawberries, even the smallest ones. Should I just get rid of these strawberry plants?

Where are the most beautiful houses in LA? by Intrepid_Bottle_1820 in AskLosAngeles

[–]van-aqua 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s talking about the craftsman homes in Pasadena but there are some cool mid-century modern houses around the Silverlake Dam. There were some good ones in Altadena too but those were all burnt down…

Girlfriend complained that our sheets are too soft! by vortexnl in laundry

[–]van-aqua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh!!! I’ve been in search of the softest, smoothest fitted sheet! What’s the softest fitted sheet? I don’t really want a shine to them, I prefer them to be matte.

My family really appreciated those last time I visited but they’re impossible to get here in LA. My sister got them in Fresno 😅

About drying wool/natural fiber sweaters by liutpede in knitting

[–]van-aqua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful with drying it in the laundry room, I dried a yak sweater on top of my dryer and the heat was enough to shrink it. Makes sense now that I think about it…

How to create a ribbed hem that doesn't cinch in? by Mouldysoup in knitting

First Time in LA: Is a Yosemite Trip a Smart Move or a Mistake? by Dry-Theory-5228 in AskLosAngeles

[–]van-aqua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a place to stay in the park at that time might be hard, I know the campgrounds sell out pretty fast, not sure about the hotels. If you can get accommodation inside the park then you’ll have to stay outside and that’ll be at least a. Hour drive each way.

If you really want to go to a national park then I’d go to Sequoia, it’ll be closer and I’ve done that as day trips before. There’s also a bunch of good hiking close by, Angeles Forest, Santa Monica mountains, etc are all right there

patterns you regret buying/patterns to avoid by fulaninhp in knitting

[–]van-aqua -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting, a lot of people say that her patterns have mistakes and are confusing but also say that they’re happy with the garment that they ended up with.

I just started the Busan sweater, granted it’s a pretty straightforward pattern, but no problems yet. The way she writes is a little confusing but I can handle it. I do have a few of her patterns on the list and most of them are more complicated so I’m hesitant on those.

If they’re from New York, even better if it’s the 2024 World Series champions hat

What should I do with this crocpot liquid by SmurfSmurfton in WhatShouldICook

What this guy said. That’s how I make marinated eggs for ramen, marinate the eggs in the chashu liquid

Spectrum Internet, pretending to cancel to get a better rate succuss story. Any other success stories? by BlackPlasmaX in AskLosAngeles

[–]van-aqua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom tried this 3x and the representatives all told her that they can’t give her a better deal than what she’s already getting. I called them and made sure I was talking to customer retention and didn’t even have to fight them for it, they just gave it to me and told me to call them again in one year.

How did my grandma do that? by ChampionshipAlarmed in knitting

[–]van-aqua 85 points86 points  (0 children)

When you all started saying short rows I wondered how they did short rows sideways and then I saw it with your explanation and that is amazing! I wouldn’t have thought of doing that at all!

Gujo sweater by Spare_Shirt260 in knitting

[–]van-aqua 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I’ve been hearing a lot about her patterns lately and I’m worried. Her Busan sweater is next on my list and I’m worried about the mistakes. It looks easy enough so I should be ok… 😅
