My 2018 kindle is dead, RIP bestie. While I'm waiting on its replacement Im wondering - since the screen is flashing and has bars and I can't reset it from the device, can I wipe it from Amazon or some other way so that I can give it to somebody tech-ish to tinker with? Thanks!

I am knitting the Mary Maxim Hail Mary fox sweater. I've got like 8 little balls of yarn rocking right now and they're getting tangled as all heck as I work and every time I set it down. Is there some way to manage this that I'm not aware of or is constant untangling part of my life now?

My husband got me a feast For Odin for Christmas and we finally played it. I think I get it even though it's complicated as hell (I won 36 to -9, yes). But I felt like I was all over the place, is there different strategies to try out like focusing on boats and exploring or focusing on raiding/pillaging or animals or is it a matter of balancing everything well that works? I feel like I only won because I noticed that he wasn't covering up any negative spaces so I abandoned going for increasing my income and just covered up my negative points knowing he would lose a ton at the end... had it been a game where everyone knew what they were doing I would've had a poor showing I think. I read thr

So I was on the 'zon looking at the silicone needle stoppers and I noticed that in the key words and titles of some of them were "focal beads" and "beads for pens." I changed my search criteria and they come in lots of 50 for like $12-20usd?! I bought a set of two for $10 at the lys and while I'm happy to support them that's also really bonkers markup when they work really well and Id like to have them for many of my wips. So if you like them and want to get a bunch cheap, search focal beads not stitch stoppers or needle stoppers and you'll get a much cheaper and wider array!!!!!

8 years ago I bought 2 kits from kitterly to make shawls. They were well worth the money, came with email downloads (that i still have, no problem there), and beautiful beautiful yarn. They did a super cute spider cowl kit I wish was still available that came up in my Facebook memories. They're apparently no longer around. Does anyone know what happened to them? Is there another company that does miscellaneous knit kits (not a yarn company that has a kit side hustle but that pretty much just does a whole lots of kits to choose from)? They were so good, yarn + download + nice addi needles all together.

The background music for today's episode is vaguely reminiscent of a lo-fi of Eiffel 65's Blue and now it's stuck in my head.

I'm so tired of people on social media getting bent out of shape at people referring to swing and knitting and crochet as grandmas hobbies. Most people don't mean it as an insult and MAYBE it's insulting to be offended to be associated with grandmas. When my grandma taught me to crochet she wasn't that much older than i am now, grandmas aren't exclusively 95 year old women who do nothing but knit. Before youtube the only way to learn fine arts was to find someone else who knew and learn it. Respect the wisdom, why are people so offended at the phrase granny hobbies? Grannies earned the free time they have to perfect the crafts. Learn the tips and tricks and techniques before they're gone wit

Hello! Do the red and purple hymnals have the same hymns/matching hymn #s and the same psalter? I have a red hymnal but am planning worship for a church using the purple hymnals and won't have access to a purple one before that service. Thank you!
