Some hard blocking will definitely happen!

They are compatible, so you can always buy a couple :)
That is, if you live in one of the four countries they ship to. I don't, and although I'd love their lace set too, I don't want to ask my UK-based friend for a favour again.

Yay, WIP Wednesday! Although it is already Thursday in my time zone. This pic was taken yesterday, but then I got distracted and didn't post it.
Anyway, here it is, my late-summer top. There has been some progress, and alas, I just joined my last ball of yarn. It looks like it's gonna be a very cropped top, so I'd better start unravelling some swatches. (Did I lose a ball? Did I buy the wrong number? It's a mystery...)

And since we're nerding it: They could have gone the extra step to use the same metal for insert and screw. But as long as I don't bathe my interchangeables in salt water, we should be safe from galvanic corrosion.

That's knit-picking, you say? (I couldn't help it, sorry)

This little lemming, with its scarf and its button nose, makes me smile every time a knitting post appears in my timeline. Thank you!

Perhaps I'm mistaken. I thought I'd read something like that somewhere...

I'm thinking about doing the knot thing and weave in the ends. Which means four times weaving per ball change. Fortunately is it a small project...

I know what you mean (seen the video, not actually tried it). Unfortunately, this method isn't suitable for plant fibres, because they are too slippery and don't felt...

To be completely honest, I have zero ambition to chase a deadline with that, or any, project. It's done, when it's done.

The yarn only has a small percentage of linen, and I found it fairly pleasant to hold - but obvs nothing like a nice soft merino. However, it splits somewhat easily.
All in all, I think it's worth giving it a chance, if you like summer knits.

If others agree and find it useful, we could take the old-fashioned approach of [keyword] at the beginning of the post title, e.g. [fo], [wip], [question], [ad] etc.

Hi there! It's great that you took over.

Personally, I don't mind the occasional commercial post, as long as they don't take over the community. It would be nice to have them clearly indicated as such, though. BTW: Is there something like post flair on Lemmy?

[–] weirdsquid 6 points 2 years ago

Just a hypothesis:

Could it be, that post creation is synchronised between federated instances, but deletions are not?
If that's the case, nothing could ever be deleted from Lemmy - but that wouldn't be Jerboa's fault.
