This looks amazing! Definitely a commitment to get this finished, especially with 1mm hook. But it’s beautiful so far. Are you following a specific pattern

Houseplants@mander.xyz•Understanding your Calatheas instead of killing them. This is how! [Guide]English
4·29 days agoI love my Calatheas but they are the biggest spider mite magnets ever. I’d have them in the middle of a bunch other plants, all fine except the Calathea which would have mites yet again…. So annoying.

Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? October 21
7·4 months agoI am on book 5 of Cradle series by Will Wight. They’ve been super fun and fast paced, like little popcorn books.
The writing is serviceable, the characters are not super deep, but the world and exploration and discovery have been great. I didn’t think I would like the series but I’ve been pleasantly surprised and I think it’s definitely a good read between more difficult books because it’s a breeze getting through them.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Whatever happened to cheat codes and guide books? They were the best part of gaming they just kind of dropped of the earth is there a rhyme or reason for this?English
2·6 months agoI think these were mostly replaced by art books due to the info from guide books now being on the internet. I collect a lot of art books from games I like, though not every game puts one out.
I’ve been working on an epistolary horror novel told in the form of letters. I was worried about it at first but It’s been pretty fun and interesting to use this format!
I think these might just be three strand braids put together in a way to replicate a knit. Knitting fondant sounds like an awful time!
It really doesn’t help that over the last few years I’ve been getting all sorts of ebooks on sale thinking I’ll get to them eventually, they’re on sale so it’s not so bad, it’s fine… hundreds of books later.
Ebook for fiction books. The convenience is amazing and i don’t have enough space for all the books as physical copies in my place. Plus generally much cheaper to buy.
I do however buy some non-fiction books (ex. books on writing/editing/crafting techniques/etc.) as physical copies as I reference them more often and searching is much easier in physical format.
That looks like scale to me. Using isopropyl alcohol and then wiping them off should usually take care of them. You just have to thoroughly search as they can also be hiding in the roots.

Books@lemmy.world•Genderpocalypse book suggestion without a sex-based lore explanation
5·9 months agoThe Beauty by Aliya Whiteley is suppose to be about a society where all the women died some time ago and the last generation of men are trying to survive and cope with that. I have not read it yet though so I am not sure if they include any trans characters and their fates, but maybe it will interest you.
If you have a spray bottle you can mix water and a bit of soap and spray down the flowers to knock them off. It also makes a slippery surface so they should have a hard time getting back on. Though tomatoes don’t usually like water on the stalks or leaves too much so be careful and try to target the affected areas only.

Houseplants@mander.xyz•A new patient arrived at the plant hospital. Do you think my grandma's Phalaenopsis orchid can be revived?English
9·9 months agoDefinitely already looking better! Plants are super resilient!
I also recently got a half dead orchid at a plant swap that I am nursing back to health. It has one leaf left and one baby one coming in. Had to cut off so many bad roots but it looks like it’s bouncing back.

Houseplants@mander.xyz•My current collection of Calatheas and their relatives (spring edition)English
2·10 months agoBeautiful collection! I love calatheas and have a bunch as well. The semi hydro setup is also smart since they do love their moisture.
The unfortunate part about having them though is that spider mites loooove them too and it’s a battle getting them under control sometimes.
You can do something like this cable washcloth! There are a bunch of similar patterns of various cable sizes.
That’s adorable! You did a great job with it and especially impressive this is one of your first projects!
Yeah my Pilea constantly did this and other more wacky curling. I moved it further away from the sun so it got indirect light and it liked that better.

Books@lemmy.ml•On Feb. 26, 2025 Amazon will remove your ability to download your ebooks to your computer or any other device except Kindle. (crosspost from !bookclub)
12·1 year agoAs an alternative Kobo offers price matching and carries almost all of the same books minus some indie exclusives (which is a huge shame, there are some good indie book series I guess I won’t be finishing)

Games@sh.itjust.works•With cheat/game codes mostly gone, what do people use instead for their single-player games (that don't involve microtransactions)?English
29·1 year agoMods can be an option but some are harder than others to use. I do find that a lot of mainstream games have a pretty good range of difficulties these days (including story mode etc), but definitely not all games.
This sounded great until the part where you can only read the ebooks using their app and you can’t transfer to kobo/kindle. That is a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.








My favourite addition is 10-20g of everything bagel seasoning into 500g of flour! So good. Also replacing 100g of bread flour for rye or whole wheat has als been adding a nice flavor change as well.
