for when the tv knitting needs to be a shape, I have been referring back to this pdf for years for basic garter stuff. also handy when designing your own lace rot 😊

Knowledge for the knowledge hoard!

i get so freaked out by like. pictures of really big rope

I’d like to say that’s normal but I’m a frayed knot

i’m so fucking annoyed at this, just for that you don’t get photos of the rope

i changed my mind, this is just too horrifying not to share

it’s called a Hawser and is the thick cable or rope used for towing/mooring a ship

in conclusion, i have nightmares beyond description

NO it would NOT be cool

well i fucken disagree

@scumrunner do you have any cursed facts about hawsers to share ?

As a fiber nerd, i am personally very enthusiastic about them….

Ohhohohoho DO I EVER. Meet the “snapback zone,” not an area with cool hats, but instead the unintuitive range at which a hawser can kill you if it breaks under tension.

What if we kissed in the snap-back zone? 😳 😳 😳

I don’t think you guys understand how much force this is, a tow rope used to move a 20 foot boat snaps under tension with enough force to dent metal, shatter glass and seriously injure anyone in its way. A Hawser on the other hand… Well I’ve seen a concrete pier with a chuck the size of a sedan ripped out of it by a line failure, and anecdotally, I’ve heard of a 2 ton heavy cargo forklift being skidded sideways, then knocked over. These lines snap with enough force to noticably dent the hull armor of navy ships.

This is a line designed to hold in place a moving object that can be easily in excess of 10000 tons. AND THEY CAN BREAK FROM THAT TENSION ALONE.

THESE THINGS ARE TERRIFYING RUBBER BANDS FROM HELL.

Nope Rope

Hell’s rubber bands sound more like a nope rope nope.

this is what i mean when i type : P btw

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

Love how the cat is behaving for the camera, but clearly Not Happy about it.

Don’t forget we invade the Fire Nation today

Best reason to be happy that the path of totality is hitting the other end of the state.

Fuck

On further reflection, that reaction needs to be included if @itsapmseymour reads this in a video.

While dancing to music you jokingly reach your hand out to your cat and ask “May we have this dance?”, when suddenly your cat places their paw onto your reached out hand, turns human, and says “I thought you’d never ask”.

Turns out your “no thoughts head empty” orange cat was really a smart guy cursed into cat form, who actively played into every derpy stereotype in order to not have the curse made worse.

Purple, speckled, AND floral! “More Crocuses” is an understated beauty with small, well defined, deeply coloured speckles. It is similar to “Crocuses in the Snow” but has more purple, including some of the background.

i won yarn chicken.

now i have to win 'weave in the end' chicken, but that's fine probably.

For those who don't know how to play "weave in the end chicken", it's a lot easier, because you can do it with yarn that's too short to sew. You stab the needle where you want to go and THEN thread it, as it's part way through the fabric. You will need to repeat the process with every turn.

While it's easier to not lose this game, the only way to win is not to play. It's a pain.

Untwisting the plies and weaving them separately should help with Weave-In Chicken. A little.
