I'm just thinking of when the star becomes a red dwarf. x'D

...that is a process that takes thousands of years. (very quick in relation to 14 billion years)

So, in theory, one can adjust it.

very true, so if they start working on it now there shouldn't be any issues.

Kitty update: Apparently, Maverick and Goose are more than half Ragdoll kitty, because they literally will ragdoll when picked up. It also explains why they're so big at six months old. I honestly thought they might be part Maine Coon, but hey, Ragdolls are still awesome. :3

I want a ragdoll kitty, it seems they were breed to do that to make them lap kitties. x'D Or that's at least what I heard on a show on animal planet.

Ragdoll kitties are sooo adorable o3o

Ragkitties!

...our cat turns to stone most of the time when picked up.

Hehehe the cat is showing how much it loves being picked up xD
kinda like me when someone tries to be affectionate.

Or me when someone says, "relax"
...though affectionate is a 50-50 chance or raglaw or stonetan (depending on surprise or not)

If I'm physically affectionate with someone, it's got to be on my terms. Otherwise I just tense up.

*wanders through with her mom's tablet, is playing Transformers Earth Wars*

I'm doing alright. Running two accounts in Earth Wars for an event. :)

Well, both accounts have helped their respective alliances get the basic event prizes, and since one of the accounts is what the big dogs call a mini, that's pretty good. Main account is helping main alliance climb the leader board rankings.

Thank you, Dragoness. Yours is very cute! (Or hearty!)

It's been so long since I've been on here. I'm glad to see the Library still up and active. :)

And sooo many new items!!! I've missed this place.

We like to yap about stuff. lol

That's a good thing though.

Den, you're the knitter (yes??) who made the 4th Doctor's scarf, right?

Yeah, I made a Fourth Doctor scarf. I'm not the original knitter for that (I wasn't even alive back then. lol), but I did make a version of it with wool yarn, and I've got an acrylic version in rainbow colors on the needles now.

i've crocheted a Fourth Doctor Scarf... well, a few of 'em, actually.

*Pay It Forward Scarf
*Ben's Doctor Who Scarf
*Season 18 Scarf
*and a shawl based on the the scarf XD

they're all crocheted and they're all acrylic

Acrylic is awesome for easy care. it just can't be blocked the way wool can, unfortunately.

I was just excited that I actually remembered somebody other than Law, lol.

I think you're the one I got my BBC pattern from for the 4th doctor's scarf. Or maybe you referred me to the place I got it from. :)

And Yay! Another hooker! I'm always excited to see other crafters. Makes me feel less.... weird? I'm seeing more and more though that younger people are crocheting and knitting.

Den - yes this is true. you can 'block' acrylic by tossing it in the washer and dryer.... or killing it. i've never actually killed acrylic though.

Kilala - yep, i'm another hooker! and i'm used to being the weird one. XD

"Good day!" Says the dragoness from an unknown cubby "Working on Midterms..."

*A plushie falls on Kilala's head*

Yeah, 'killing' requires a steamer... so I usually stick with just tossing it in the washer and dryer.

i have an iron with a steam setting. i tried it once, but it ended up not really working

@Law - *squish hugs the plushie*
Mid-terms. I haven't had that pleasure in a few years. I can only imagine how stressed out you are right now.

@Trystan - I've never tried actually blocking my works. Most of the things I make (easily 99%) is for me and my kids. So I've never felt the need to try and block anything. I've seen different methods in my Crochet groups on facebook though.

it couldn't get up to the temperatures needed to "kill" acrylic. a garment steamer would be what would... but I can't afford one of those right now, so I don't bother...

Kilala - i know what you mean. i make things for my girls and me too - and like 95% of it really can't be blocked. i've learned a lot from the forums over on Ravelry.

Den - i know what you mean there, too... i can't really afford much either.

I mainly only make stuff for myself... it's by sheer dumb luck that gifts for other people don't need blocking.

well that's cool to, Den. =)

what do you mean by blocking? xD

blocking is when you take a knitted or crocheted item and stretch it out so you can see the pattern or design, or it won't curl back on itself. and then it needs to stay that way. i found some pics on google~

before blocking:

then the item was wet (spray bottle, soaked in water) and stretched out on foam boards or cardboard and allowed to dry~

it 'opens up' the design and is better seen than in origial knitted item (pic 1).

I tossed my Doctor Who scarf in the wash when it was done, then set it out on towels in the living room (only room in the house long enough to block it out in. lol). and then I started rolling it up in the towels to squeeze the water out of it.
