Audiobooks all the way. I’m a crafter so I like to paint, knit, crochet, cross stitch or quilt while listening. Not possible with tangible books. I’ve listened to the whole Wheel of Time series and all of Brandon Sanderson’s cosmere novels. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ca94918e-da64-46be-9d53-313d624265bb.png
Could someone explain why it matters? Is microwaving water for tea akin to instant coffee or Keurig to snobby coffee drinkers? (I nuke water for tea, but when it comes to coffee I use distilled water, fresh beans, a scale and it’s kinda ritualistic)
I have a lot of runners up, like Amrito for Amy, or Bradinglesmirch for Briar, but I think the dumbest has to be Scott Von Scott of the Scottsdale Scotts Who Did Scott So Scottily in the Battle of Scotteen Twelve....
I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I worked at a software company in 2010 and was still actively coding web applications that work in ie6. They wanted web 2.0 flashy things… And also must work in ie6. It was not fun
I still use frozen juice tubes! The stores near me used to have a great selection but now it’s apple or orange. Honestly tastes similar to most of the name brand stuff.
I prefer subs but as a person who has to be doing something I tend to watch dubs so I can multitask. My husband thinks I’m a monster but that scarf didn’t knit itself ya know?
It’s weird but since quitting Reddit I feel like I lost all the connections in my life. I’m glad to be here with y’all, and I look forward to sharing more! I’ve been in a rut and seeing your beauties has inspired me to dust off the ole sewing machine and finish up my newest kitty’s portrait.
That pattern I actually purchased, I’m not sure who the designer was. I am working on another cat pillow, since I’ve gotten another cat, and this pattern I did make.
I used Quilt Assistant quiltassistant.com on Windows to take a photo and turn it into a usable pattern. The software takes a lot of patience as it’s an awkward interface IMO. I’ve tried making a pattern in Photoshop and that was a nightmare.
Once I have a completed pattern I visually QA by printing all the pieces cutting out and laying them out on a big cutting mat. Here’s the one I’m working on now. I make sure that there aren’t awkward joins or overly boxy corners. It’s easy to accidentally delete or move a line while editing, you may not notice that it’s not pieceable until it’s under the needle. Basically if you notice any concave shapes that pattern probably isn’t going to work out for you.
I have this hat (beanie type, I guess) that I've had for just about 20 years now. I've been wearing it regularly, and it still seems to be in good shape, but I know it won't last forever. I'm very attached to this hat, silly though it may sound....
