Even if the reason for the change is fueled by anti-immigrant racism, it seems A) technically more accurate, actually, and B) NOT A BIG DEAL GIVEN THE CANCER RESEARCH FINDING CUTS, TREASURY TAKEOVER, COUP, REAL-ACTUAL INVESTMENTS IN DEPORTATION, TRANSPHOBIC PASSPORT CONFISCATIONS, ETC??? Right???

Since I've begun substitute teaching, I've been wondering the same thing. It's seriously exhausting!

This method doesn't really leave room for under-doing it, which is nice! ππ©·ππ€

Here's the link to buy one for yourself! It's not a super high-quality product, but I'm happy with it as an experiment, and it's very easy to use, mechanically speaking.

Finished that hat! Just in time for historic Florida Snow β shhh, no, it didn't snow where I live, but it's still definitely cold enough to justify a double-knit wool hat!

Recognizing that you might not see this reply, but β can you say more about what this means and/or why you're using it?

It's just double-knitting! You work two panels with two strands at the same time on the same needles, usually in contrasting colors. Then you can swap the threads on certain stitches to create patterns. It's deceptively easy but takes twice as long. Double thick, extra warm, reversible!

The Humane Society Thrift in my town seems to be the place where crafters offload their stashes β I just recently figured this out. There were maybe 8 balls of Sky there, three color ways. I don't knit much anymore since I live in Florida, but with the cold this year I couldn't resist!

By the way, I'm double-knitting using two skeins of KFI Painted Sky superwash Australian wool in "Gold Rush". I thrifted them for $3 each! Even though the yarn balls are from the same dye lot, they were wound out of sync from one another, giving the knit this effect.

Here's a reminder if my bathroom "before", though it already has the new shower curtain. Ugh!!!

Then, I designed a file in Photoshop in the color I wanted and added a ceramic glaze texture. I'd measured everything out to make sure I'd get enough material, then shipped the file to the printer. After that, each tile had to be hand-cut and applied, but that wasn't too bad. I spent about $50.

It took a lot of testing and design to make happen. First, I got a small sample of the unprinted material and stuck it to a tile in our upstairs bathroom, which is used 99% more often than our downstairs shower, to make sure it would stay put. It did for two weeks, and still removed easily!

Oh, this is definitely what is actually happening.

But yesterday I found a product that...._totally fixed it???_ With like, virtually no effort???
God bless Zep Acidic Toilet Bowl Cleaner. With a little help from a pumice stick, I will be using this product on my entire bathroom from here out. If you've got hard water stains, Zep is your guy.

There's a lot of overcomplicated nonsense out there, I found. This was the only video tutorial I could find that was both easy and effective!

First rag rug finished!! I'm super happy with how it came out and enjoyed the process. Maybe I'm doomed to make another sometime soon? π¬
