    Worth noting that I moved both my personal blog and @RoaldDahlFans to WordPress on Lightsail two years ago, and they’re still running just fine. (And with price drops in Cloudfront, my bill is now half what it used to be!) https://t.co/KD26Y33OA3


    Re: loom mystery – consensus is that A) it’s definitely a needle from a knitting machine, and B) no one knows why it was included. Someone suggested it can be used as a “pick up stick” for complicated weaving patterns, but I can find no actual documentation of that anywhere. 🤷‍♀️


    Spargelzeit is here again! We aren’t going quite as hard as we did last year. Tonight the Snook made Asparagus Risotto from @epicurious. 🍷 @ Munich, Germany https://t.co/CQkU4PHiJ0

    I bought my first loom! This is used for mending holes in woven and knitted garments. Very useful… but what is that extra piece on the right, with the sort of latch hook on it? I cannot find any explanation how that is used. Anybody know? 🧶🧦 https://t.co/lo24uVqC99


    @LiaSae @Xavier_Ho That was my guess too. What’s weird is that they give you a long darning needle in the package (It’s stuck into the foam) so I have no idea why this extra bit.


    @TheRealBnut Those are the instructions I have, and I’ve watched several videos. None of them actually explain what the “loom pick tool” is actually for though!


    @gilmae Watch it.
