Green + yellow + orange is a highly underrated colour combo

Heya! This is maybe a totally random question, but several years ago now, I bought a knitting project bag from your shop. I've been using it consistently ever since, I absolutely love it, but I was wondering: would it be safe to machine wash or submerge handwash it? I've just been doing spot cleaning but like I said it's been several years and it's been through a lot. I don't know what stiffens the bottom so I didn't want to accidentally ruin it! (thanks in advance!)

Oh yeah, it’s cotton and the bottom is just stiff interfacing. I’ve put it in the washing machine before and it’s come out fine (just not too hot water). If the bottom gets creased or doesn’t stick as it does before, just use a hot iron to re-activate the glue.

And line dry or pay flat to dry.

If you’re nervous or your washing machine is aggressive, hand washing is totally fine too. I just let it soak in detergent for a bit and then rinse it out. (I usually only do that for the fabric with gold appliqué though)

I dont really register teddy bears as toy depictions of bears. They are just some other creature named after bears like koala bears and water bears.

Why do some women hesitate to put their contact info on their dogs tags? Here’s why:

Not bad!! Done with great confidence though. Forgot the stupid British part but that’s because I fiercely hate the monarchy and pretend it doesn’t exist.

Jods relationship with the Resurrection Beasts is kind of like that immortal snail hypothetical when you think about it

Mutual hangout idea we all take an autism test and tell each other the % in the tags

Managed to use up most of the balls with plenty of solid orange left over for tassels! I decided to wet block it so I could better shape it during blocking. I definately didn’t get precious about getting the edges nice & straight either 😂

MY OWN THOUGHTS by Helena Minginowicz (Polish, b. 1984)

It’s not that Gideon is dumb and Harrow is smart. It’s not that Harrow is smart and Gideon is smart in a different way. It’s that they both have their own unique blindspots that rival those of 18-wheelers and they are racing down Stubborn Highway to see who can get to the Confident Idiot Baby Convention first. Wheels are falling off. Other cars are swerving. They are flirting via CB radio.
