I bought some evenweave a few months ago and finally decided to try it. I know you’re supposed to “stitch over 2” with this stuff but that seemed like it would still end up just looking like 14 ct aida so I decided to try this instead lol...
I’ve done both. I prefer even weave to aida, and I like stitching over 2. I don’t think it looks like aida at the end. IMO it looks like tapestry. If you stitch over 1, it’ll be very hard to do half stitches (if there are any in your pattern). Over 1 looks like petit point to me, so I guess each has their place depending on what you’re going for.
Another fruit/nut combo to try are craisins and slivered almonds. I’m not a fan of raisins unless they’re in cinnamon bread or bagels, but I love substituting craisins in salads and other savory dishes that call for raisins.

I originally posted this on the other site back when I took the picture, and it resulted in a lot of confused comments, especially from Americans, eventually getting removed by overzealous mods. Either way, I promise you that this date does not exist, and has never existed.
Not Guinea, but I saw guinea pigs raised for food in a village in Tanzania. The local who owned them found it hilarious that we keep them as pets in the U.S. He asked me what we call them, and after i replied guinea pig, he said they definitely don’t taste like pig.
Every Thanksgiving since I was a child, I’ve had to make something for Thanksgiving. Typically, and I think this goes for many Americans (and presumably Canadians cause they have a similar Thanksgiving), this involves sharing the kitchen with way too many cooks. It can be difficult to know what tools you’ll have in an...
Knitters and crocheters call that “plarn”. But I’ve not heard of anyone feeding it through a sewing machine first. We just roll up the strips. There’s a way to cut the bag so that it’s one long continuous strip.
A popular use for this material besides making reusable shopping bags is to make sleeping mats for homeless persons.
Edit: meant to say that I find the sewing machine use fascinating and will see if Google can shed more light on how to go about it and what machines it can/can’t be done with.
Skin picking can show up from other conditions such as OCD mentioned above, anxiety, and also ADHD. Try again to raise the issue with your therapist. If they are dismissive, find a new therapist. Sometimes it takes trying on a few therapists to find one who clicks with you and can be helpful.

Southern schooled in 80s & 90s, here. They let us believe John Wilkes Booth was a lone actor and not part of an organized plot by southern men to assassinate the president.
The first time one of my northern friends mentioned that bit about a conspiracy, my little naive mind was rocked that schools might bend or bury the truth.
The rest of the list was pretty accurate. Except nurses in schools was a Hollywood myth to me. There was no budget for such positions. We could go to the school office and ask to call our parents if we weren’t feeling well, and we’d better be feeling pretty awful.
As someone diagnosed ADHD (i.e. my relationship with dopamine is complicated) and a grandfather who had Parkinson’s, this is news to me and a little worrying, but perhaps also making sense because I’m pretty sure adhd may have been present yet undiagnosed in that side of the family.

When I was a kid, it'd have to be Memorial Day. All the extended family would convene at the old family cemetery to decorate the graves. That isn't the weird thing... the weird thing was we treated it as a family reunion and picnicked together among the head stones.
Yes, I found out from my Filipino friends that picnicking among ones ancestors was a thing. Or at least for their family, it was. I kind of like the idea now as a sentimental activity, but kid me thought it was macabre.
My MIL gives us all presents from "Santa". I'm pushing 50. She thought it was hilarious when I started doing it back to her ("why is Santa's handwriting different on this tag??")
I wish my in laws were game players. My grandmother used to get us all to play Rook together. It's like Gin Rummy but acceptable for Southern Baptists to yell out! ... it was a dry county...
haha, that sounds awesome! I recently set up an Echo for my aunt, her first Alexa device. I told her she could ask it to play music. I expected her to ask for Andrea Bocelli or something, but she asked for Abba and then the Beegees. I've never heard her listen to disco in all my life, and then she started dancing. So of course I'm not gonna leave her hanging; I got up and boogied down with her.
