I’ve had ideas for cambrian knits for a looooong time, heh. Bad marriage, getting cussed out by a son for knitting, and chronic pains have made thinking loads of fun, yeesh, but I have made enough to know it’s very much possible.
3 sizes of trilobites (and, unfortunately the only pattern I was able to finish and publish, but I do need to record a video on attaching the heads).
Ammonite (Almost had it finished oh so long ago. Luckily, I do remember the important parts of making it).
Also, I’ve had halucigenia and other Xenusiids in mind, crinoids, tullymonstrum, and opabinia as well. I did have an idea for writing a larger anomalocaris, but it turns out someone was ahead of me, hah.
Unfortunately, it’ll be a miracle if I can ever finish any of them…My deltoid and bicep can hurt immensely with the small movements while knitting.
Ok! Ribbon looks like it’ll work, and I believe I found a way to keep the fins from being pulled out too easily, as well as making it possible to re-fin it if/when the cats pull the fins out.
I did make a couple videos on how to make them, but they are complete crap. Wife’s off tomorrow and I have a hell of a lot of anxiety while she’s home, so will try to get the videos done next week.
Although it’s a pretty sheltered location, but wouldn’t the baking soda dissipate with any moisture? Humidity, rain, and/or snow?
Edit: I just thought about it, and what I’ll do is run an experiment. I can place some near my kitchen sink’s handle. Water dripping from my hand and the humidity should give me a good idea how it’d work outside.
First issue I found, I needed to add a little water to the mixture so it would keep from pulling up the dirt as I tried to spread it on. Made it so I could just pour it over. Wtich means two things, I’ll see how moisture reacts to it, and have to wait maybe two days for it to dry…which, if so, might make it really difficult in that I’ll have to fill the unit with dirt before we move it (and it is quite heavy without the added dirt).
Next tests, I’ll need to try a two layer method. (one with a lower layer of baking soda, and another with a toilet paper bottom. That should help to deduce if the dirt was the cause of it).
Speaking of, I am spending way too much time on this, heh! I’ve got two hats and a pumpkin bag to knit, and a small painting to do ( Maybe more like these ). I’ll just stick to a cloth of some kind, and let her touch it up how she wants. 🤣 .
I used to drink root beer out of the licorice red vines, those held up quite well. Though, the lart was around seven years ago. I haven’t seen blaok red vines in ages around these parts.
Have no idea if the red ones would have held up. Never liked those too much, heh, and other than root beer, birch beer, I’d drink coffee instead.
Oddly enough, they are kind of bland with honey. 😶. Great with butter, though. Still trying to think of something else to try with them, but unfortunately brain is blank. Family won’t help me clean, and am in quite a bit of pain, and being one of the major holiday cooks, I’m kind of stressing a bit, heh. Got so much to clean…I’ll try to think of something to eat with these…I hope, heh.
Sweet Milk : Almond, buckwheat, unbleached flours
Water based : Almond, Rye, Amaranth
youtu.be/hNQaBOHT0EE 🤔 Hmm! A sweet paratha? Pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin seed, nutmeg, and molasses filling. (Using a little almond flour to thicken it up).
youtu.be/0roB5cuotEw Then there’s this 2 ingredient Sweet potato flatbread recipe that I could easily modify.
I’ll plan out cooking it around noon CST tomorrow. So I’ve got plenty of time to figure out what I’ll do, 😃
1/2 c. buckwheat
1 c. unbleached flour
6 Tbls. buttermilk powder (It’s what I happen to have, 🤷♂️ ).
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Tbls. Sugar
1/4 c. Ground pumpkin seeds.
Soften 1 tsp. yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Mix all ingredients with 1 Tbls. melted butter. Let sit covered for an hour, then place in the fridge over night. Can add more flour the next day if it’s too moist (Can’t remember the liquid to dry ratios, but unimportant for the first part. I can adjust for more/less when necessary).
(update: Ok, that was the perfect amount of liquid. I’ll touch up some more flour when I place it in the fridge…On the other hand. Should have been more pumpkin seeds, or less flours. Meh! Will have to do…maybe I’ll find the will to grind more seeds up before I fry/bake it, heh).
And I would mix it today for a deeper flavor.
Slept pretty horribly last night which makes my pains worse, so I’ll push it back for tomorrow. Which will give me a chance to let it sit.
Are you planning to publish the pattern or is it just a personal satisfaction type of project?
Oh, I’m definitely going to publish it. I want to test out a couple of things (as I’m wanting it to have at least three patterns. A cup cozy, a lidded bag, and a regular bag).
This is the first design I made, and i think it’d be a good one to add for a small simple bag.
I used to be, too, and still am registered as one (Only to keep myself from being counted as a Democrat or Republican which they love to lump Independents into them), but I’ve noticed the nonsense between 2008 and 2010 which is about the time the media focused on these pieces of human garbage over all the others.
I really don’t see an easy fix, and most of what I’ve seen in history, it usually gets much much worse before it gets better.

On Jerboa, I got a whole page of html code, but it vanished too fast for me to be able to remember anything. Also, it has a continual loading icon over the “upload image” icon.
Now, unfortunately, wearecapable is fairly dead, but I’d really like to see it grow, as I believe with all my heart it’s a very important thing to have out there. So I will always push/support it until it ceases to exist.
As I always told my kids when it came to eating mulberries, give them a quick once over, then enjoy. Because you don’t want to get a good look at them.
Final update. So it is necessary to cook the filling before hand. There’s just no way arround it. However, it’s not too bad, and is doable, just not as good as precooking.
Which, for a rhubarb blueberry pie, to keep the colors separted like this. One could cook the zucchini with the rhubarb, and then cook the blueberries separate. I do like the coloring of this. (was my second attempt for cooking the zucchini in the pie crust. I partially boiled the zucchini with ground ginger, the filled it in the bottom, and put the fruit on top. I had hoped the flavors would have blended in downwards. It did a bit, but still not as good as I hoped. Meh, nothing made in haste, nothing found in good taste, :smile:)
