I'm really happy with how this hat came out and also really glad that it was super easy to make a marketplace listing for it from Amethyst (thanks nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z!)

somethings are just not meant to be. perhaps they are coasters instead ;)
oof been there ๐ญ
As I try to build a more environmentally conscious wardrobe, I am convinced that I need to move away from cotton (it's used tons of water) but I love all those pretty cotton jersey prints. Oh, there's a company out there printing on bamboo jersey, you say?

bamboo isn't much better from an environmental standpoint either considering how much chemical processing it takes to breakdown the bamboo material into pulp to be used in viscose processing.
I use a combo cooker so it has a lid. I don't add anything into it other than the loaf when baking though.

I'm not sleeping in... I'm cold-retarding my sourdough ๐ด so easily tired these days. the baby is getting extra squirmy. sometimes it feels like there's three of them in there.
whoever is trying to nefariously influence Bitcoin by going after the people working on the code are seriously misguided and have a fundamental lack of understanding of how Bitcoin works.
we send them a copy of the white paper and remind them to do their homework. Also, extra credit for reading up on the block size wars.
I'm not sure. I haven't had any instances where I had to deal with stains on wool that were too obvious or stubborn that it didn't come out with wool wash. sorry I couldn't be more helpful here.
I do like superwash and knit with it quite a lot but I find that when knitting thicker yarns (DK and above) it seems to grow after wash (meaning I have to knit much tighter than I like) and pills with wear more quickly.
my system is air out woolens in an open basket (ex, wire basket) or on a line. once in a while, if airing out isn't enough, I gather the items and put it in my top loader washing machine for a soak with Eucalan (wool wash) about 40-60 minutes, swishing gently by hand every so often. Then I drain the washer and use the spin to spin out most of the water. Then air dry.
if I were to knit a hat or mittens for you, would you rather it be made out of...
100% wool yarn, requiring hand washing and air drying but it'd be all natural materials
or
a 80/20% acrylic/wool blend, which can be thrown in the washing machine and dryer for convenience?
me personally, I lean towards 100% natural fibers whenever possible because our household has a system to care for woolens, but I know not everyone has that habit.

meatball dinner ๐คค 50/50 beef and pork is the best mix.
of course, a slice of sourdough bread, baked fresh this morning. #foodstr #breadstr
haha yes. I'm planning to make a double or triple batch though
hey nostr fam! when making a big batch of meatballs, do you freeze them cooked or raw? #foodstr
knitters and coders aren't so different...
-get excited about new project ideas
-spend hours finding the perfect yarn
-get a cute bag to put it in
-start knitting a gauge swatch
-realize how much work designing the actual pattern will be
-go back to knitting beanies
this reminds me. I made chocolate chip cookies last night and promptly ate them before taking any photos ๐
still have more in the freezer stash so I'll try to remember next time.
earworms are said to be largely a modern occurrence because music is engineered to be catchy (think commercial jingles) and because we are in contact with music much more often (hearing a performer sing at a pub vs pursuing play on your music player)
as to why it happens, music helps us remember things and make memories. it just so happens that commercial music production has hi jacked it to remind us that we're ba da buh buh buhhhhh lovin' it.
gonna go get some mcnuggets now...
