I need to do this for my craft table. I was shopping around for retail table leg extenders but they're pricey so I'm gonna make my own.

Frieda Thiersch with book she bound for the Reich     (files.catbox.moe)

submitted by NeedleStack to Bookbinding 7 months ago

10 comments

Frieda was dubbed "Hitler's bookbinder" in this garbage article by boing boing, archived so you don't give them the click: https://archive.ph/CU2ur

It's a good article as far as her life and work is concerned but of course it's dripping with normie anti-nazi hysteria.

DIY Notebook: Saddle Stitch Bookbinding Tutorial     (www.youtube.com)

submitted by NeedleStack to Bookbinding 7 months ago

From the video description:

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to saddle stitch with thread. This video focuses on just the saddle stitch binding method itself. FYI - The thread doesn't have to be waxed. I just prefer it because the wax protects and makes the thread easier to work with.

Hen house Ventilation - how much ventilation does your chicken house need?      (youtu.be)

submitted by NeedleStack to Chickens 7 months ago

0 comments

From the video description:

Where to place that ventilation is vitally important. The Golden Rules are:

- Include as many large openings as possible,
- and make them adjustable so you can open or close them as weather and wind direction indicates,
- always include high vents to allow warm moist air to exit,
- unless your climate is very cold, include some cross ventilation,
- but avoid drafts blowing directly onto the chickens,
- keep out the rain and other sources of water,
- and keep the manure cleaned out.

This rules. I'll have to find a similar knitting pattern for big projects like this. Maybe to protect a garden from deer?

Article on poor women in Hungary getting some much-needed income from their embroidery. Thankfully, there's still some interest in their traditional, cultural artistry and I hope it lasts.

1964: SHETLAND SHAWLS are more valuable than GOLD - BBC Archive     (youtu.be)

submitted by NeedleStack to Knitting 9 months ago

2 comments

From the video description:

Cathal O'Shannon reports from Unst, northernmost of the inhabited British Isles, where he has discovered a material more valuable than gold or platinum - the island's intricate gossamer shawls.

Shetland shawls are made from the gossamer wool that surrounds the neck of Shetland sheep, which must be hand-plucked, not sheared. There are fewer than half a dozen people left with the skill to spin this incredibly fine wool into thread, and a single shawl can use as much as six miles of the stuff. Allied to the relative scarcity of the material, there are perhaps as few as a dozen women capable of knitting these extraordinary garments - which can incorporate more than half a million loops - so they're probably only going to get more valuable.

This clip is from Tonight. Originally broadcast 5 May, 1964.

It's the little things     (TraditionalWives)

submitted by NeedleStack to TraditionalWives 11 months ago

32 comments

Every once in a while I'll want to bring my husband some extra cheer so I'll do little things like sew together a tiny stuffed animal and put it in front of his water glass to discover when he gets home. Or, I'll surprise him by patching the thinning elbow of his nightshirt or hang a charming framed print of mallards to brighten a room. Stuff like that.

He works hard and deals with a lot of nonsense to keep us in shampoo as they say and it makes me happy to take care of the nest so he doesn't have to lift a finger when he gets home and to show how much I appreciate him with tiny actions like I wrote above.

Take care of your sweeties and let them know how much you treasure them!

Here's a brief excerpt from a video on how to improve your cursive handwriting.

The original video is here: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=q6rfoRiWa8A or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6rfoRiWa8A

Writing solely on a computer every day has ruined my once beautiful cursive writing. Hopefully this advice will inspire you to improve or regain your handwriting.

Voats aren't "sticking"     (TalkDev)

submitted by NeedleStack to TalkDev 12 months ago

I tried upvoating a few posts in various subs and my voats didn't appear to count. I experimented upvoating in different subs and got the same outcome in each one. :(

Edit: The posts that didn't stick were older (around a month old and older) so maybe that's why?
