Saw the pattern and knew I wanted to cast it on immediately. Saw a colourway someone in the ravelry projects did and needed that exact same colourway. Went to the store and got it and cast on immediately. Easy peasy. Here is the center panel, pretty cool.

[stoneantler]

I'm really surprised how many young fiber art people don't know that they can get pattern books from their local library. So as a PSA:

Your local public library has pattern books! They have crochet, knitting, weaving, and quilting pattern books! If they don't have the book you want, or the craft you want, you can ask for us to get it for you! It's free!

[riparianfruits]

Seconded!!!! They had Mr Rodgers knitting patterns, what kind of pintrest hole would I have had to been through to see that!!! Not to mention the local punks publish a little monthly news paper and you can see some local event fliers to get involved (i dont but its cool to see what ppl are up to)

Thanks for reminding me libraries exist!

in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying

[bunjywunjy]

well that’s just the risk you take if you decide to teach creative writing

[dragon-in-a-fez]

something you don't learn until you get really far into the making and tinkering life is that there's no such thing as "glue" really. there are so many kinds of substances that stick other substances together and they are all very different and if you just go look at the adhesives aisle in the hardware store the packaging never actually tells you anything useful. it's like "this is SUPER T-REX POWER GLUE" and the fine print says "good for use on wood metal and plastic". okay. but WHICH PLASTICS MY GOOD BITCH,

because SURPRISE, there's no such thing as "plastic" either. every kind of wood is basically the same on a chemical level, but the only thing every plastic has in common is "some of its molecules are long" and that is NOT a quality that determines how things stick together.

I just ordered some stuff I hope will permanently stick a circuit board to a steel sheet and withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees. by the way circuit boards are made of epoxy-bound woven glass cloth which is cool as hell but what the fuck do you glue that with? can any of the 12 kinds of adhesives I currently own do that? no of course not. if I want to stick two pieces of acrylic together so hard they become watertight to a depth of 3000 metres I have some shit that does that, but it does literally nothing else.

anyway. once you start learning how many kinds of sticking things together there are, the people at 3M start to seem like witches and I don't know if they're the kind we can trust with that level of arcane knowledge

[once-a-polecat]

Can I introduce you to one of the most useful sites from the early web? It’s thistothat.com and it tells you what kind of adhesives work to stick different types of substances together. It looks like it was designed in 1999 with some ads slapped over the top, because it was designed in 1999…. But like most things from the early web, it does what’s on the label: tells you how to stick this to that.

Arcane knowledge my ass, the internet used to be useful about shit.

How Ponify ruined my life

Possibly the most horrifying thing that has ever happened to me occurred today. So I’m in a creative writing class at university right now and we had to print out twenty-five copies of our first, one page assignment to distribute to the class. I had to print mine at the computer lab as I don’t have a printer, but here are the three crucial facts that made this the worst mistake of my life.

1. Sometimes, when you log into Google on Chrome, it activates all of your extensions, even ones you’ve deactivated.

2. In high school, my friends and I got really into Ponify (a words replacing chrome extension) and switched the preferences so we could read political articles and have congress get into a “rousing snow ball fight” and the like.

3. Ponify reverted to its original My Little Pony lingo when opened on a new computer’s chrome.

So when I distributed my twenty-five copies of this I noticed the word “everypony”, my heart seized up and dropped into my stomach, and with my imminent death approaching, I began furiously correcting all twenty-five of them. My teacher, confusedly, agreed to let me correct them as I was too infuriated and ashamed to say my mistake aloud. 

I just realized, however, that the line “as she watched the binding fall away in her hand” was changed to “as she watched the binding fall away in her hoof”. 

And I just had to send this email:

And basically I’m ready for death how was your day

[coulsonlives]

Nobody asked me to bring this back. I’m bringing it back anyways.

Hey if you or anyone you know uses a cane, especially balance, I recently had a really bad flair up and was without one, but I was near a outdoor supply store, and I ended up getting a small hiking stick with a cane handle and let me tell you

1. It's lighter than any cane I've ever used

2. Its telescopic so I can keep it in my car, unlike the "folding" canes that hate being folded

3. It has a spring suspension system to provide a bit of give to your arm, like suspension on a bike, my arm doesn't get sore

4. It COMES WITH different feet for it, you don't have to BUY them seperately

5. Has a wrist strap

It's such a massive upgrade from literally any mobility cane I've ever been sold. Is it as strong as a solid hardwood or steel cane? Hell no. But it can support my weight and I'm about 200 pounds.

Also it was 30 bucks! There are better ones that go higher in price but most canes I've had to buy are more than that and wear out

[oodles-of-boodle]

Do you have a brand name or store name or maybe photo? I'd absolutely love to get one but I can't find anything even remotely similar to what you've described 😭

[itseasytoremember]

That's basically the exact one I have.

Here is a link to it on amazon

I don't *love* amazon but it's accessible to a lot of people. Now I will say this one (like mine) has twist locks, and I'm seeing a lot of comments saying that it's better to buy ones with "flip locks" instead as they're less likely to fail

Here is one with flip locks. I don't have one so I can't speak for quality but L.L. Bean tends to have high quality stuff

Welp. Useful info for me. Maybe for someone else too
