Wedding Knits for my Sister
  • 2 things:

    1. Does she want a knit veil? I knit and crochet lace and I don't want either in my wedding outfit. Also, be sure what kind of veil she wants - there's different lengths, alone with a current trend for wearing capes made of gauze/tulle instead. Maybe ask her opinion on those motifs too.

    2. What color is her dress? That yarn will probably look ok with ivory, and will definitely go with cream, champagne, etc. It won't match a bright white dress, nor the sort of sparkle tulle princess thing my sister picked out.

    I think you can do it though. Lace knitting isn't that different from regular knitting, just more counting and yarn overs. Learn how to read lace charts before starting - I went in with a "how hard can it be, I do crochet charts" mentality and whoops, had to stop and look it up. Good luck :)

  • What are your go-to websites/chefs for recipes?
  • RecipeTinEats is one of my faves. Tasty, wide range of dishes up my cooking alley, and a little more complex than BudgetBytes, which is my other go-to but for dead simple and cheap but not bad food.

  • I created a webview shell for the kbin.social site
  • Thanks. I'm technologically dumb and have been working with a site link I made a button on my homescreen somehow - except I keep forgetting to close all the tabs cause it just opens a new one in my mobile browser everytime.

    I had 0 chance of getting op's thingy to work on my own but what you suggested worked.

  • what happened to my cherry tree? abd how to help him?
  • Not sure about the tree but hoping some engagement will help your post

  • Does anyone else have a specific word they type into a text entry to test if it has spellcheck enabled?
  • I use elephant. Who googles elephants on a work computer? Or really any computer?

    Never had a cached Google search for elephants come up.

  • Freight train carrying hot asphalt, molten sulfur plunges into the Yellowstone River as bridge fails
  • At this point it seems like the infrastructure has decided to speak for itself.

  • What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?
  • Buy a jar of msg to sit next to the salt. Game changer.

    Also, salt+fat+acid+heat = flavor. Sometimes a pinch of sugar. I was chronically underutilizing fat and acid.

  • 7.5 million Baby Shark bath toys are recalled after they cut or stabbed children
  • Oh, my friend's kid has one of those. Guess I'll pass this along

  • PSA: Upvote is not an upvote like you are used to (like Reddit) - "Boost" is the Reddit Upvote
  • Because kbin can interface with content from mastodon AND Lemmy.

    The boost is for mastodon/microblogs, the upvote is for Lemmy/threadiverse.

    It's just one guy. We were a bit worried if he was even sleeping when the first big wave hit and he kept everything up by cloudflare and prayer.

  • How do you stay interested in something for a long time?
  • Lol right? Came here to say, IDK I have ADHD. Spending 1000+ hours on anything not school or work ain't happening.

  • Missing Titanic Sub Once Faced Massive Lawsuit Over Depths It Could Safely Travel To
  • Oh...I didn't realize until now that there were actual people on board. All the headlines said the submarine itself was missing and I wasn't interested enough to click.

  • Reminder it's Father's day tomorrow!
  • A jar of chili infused garlic cloves

    Surprise snacks are a great gift for someone who just buys what he wants when he wants it.

  • Did you reuse your Reddit name or create a new one?
  • Reused...but this time with all the vowels. I am here for no character limit. Or at least more characters than reddit allowed.

  • Oh it won't?
  • And if you stop me while I'm doing it, it's not getting done EITHER way...
