Fortunately that means the failure is the thread holding the pieces together, not the fabric itself...It's a bit tedious to fix, since I'm trying to use existing holes rather than introduce new points of weakness. And I'm doing each seam as two lines of alternate running stitches, so if the threads break on one line, the other will hopefully hold it together enough for me to fix it more easily next time. I got through both lines of the joining seam and one line of the edge-tape seam before I ran out of time (and patience) today. Should go a lot quicker tomorrow since the edges and tape are already lined up, so it'll just be a simple running stitch!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sewing</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/handsewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handsewing</a>

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/makeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makeShitMonday</a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> edition...I'm making good progress on the cat scarf for my ex-roomie - despite multiple rounds of frogging! My mom gave me a gorgeous new set of [Dyak Craft crochet hooks](<a href="https://www.dyakcraft.com/shop/p/tunisian-crochet-set" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dyakcraft.com/shop/p/tunisian-crochet-set</a>), so I switched from my old bamboo hook to the equivalent new hook - and the action is totally different, so my stitch tension is different, so I ended up frogging my entire first 11 rows and starting over. 😭(It made a nice diversion on a rainy morning during our caving trip to TN last week...)Then on the way home I was listening to an interesting podcast and missed a cat leg, which cost me another round of frogging. So now I check each row when I finish it, and double-check before I break the yarn and switch colors. 🙄 But despite all that, it's starting to look scarf-like!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crochet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@crochet</a>

Thanks for cluing me inSo I swapped out the two testing <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/NVMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVMe</a> drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/windoz10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windoz10</a> demanding for the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/bitlocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitlocker</a> recovery key. 🤦‍♂️ Well, time to wipe & install <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/windoz11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#windoz11</a> then.

IrishMASMSOk, I spent yesterday afternoon trying to get <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RAID</a> configured on my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/lenovo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lenovo</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/P70" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#P70</a> - to no success. I found this video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyCC1NGe8a8&t=36s</a> of the similar <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/p50" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#p50</a> and configuring <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RAID</a> which shows the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/BIOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BIOS</a> interface but my P70's only show the "non-raid physical discs" I do not have an option for RAID volumes. Note I have upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version on lenovo's web site. Any thoughts?I have attached 2 <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/screenshots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#screenshots</a> of what the BIOS displays - I'm trying to configure the RAID on the two 512GB <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/NVMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVMe</a> sticks. <a

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MakeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeShitMonday</a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> edition!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@mbroome" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mbroome</a> and I took a roadtrip out to the Outer Banks this weekend - which meant it was time to start a new crochet project. This time it's a scarf made using the [cat stitch](<a href="https://craftinghappiness.com/how-to-crochet-the-cat-stitch-step-by-step-for-beginners/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://craftinghappiness.com/how-to-crochet-the-cat-stitch-step-by-step-for-beginners/</a>), for my ex-roommate from boarding school - who is a childless cat lady par excellence.We discussed dimensions and design and agreed that it's best for the cats to go in short horizontal rows... Except that I'm lazy and *not* enthusiastic about having to weave in ends every three rows for a 5' scarf. So I decided to try carrying the yarn vertically - despite literally no Internet resource suggesting this. 🤷🏻‍♀️Sadly, it's because the result looks like ass. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The edge stitches just look totally scraggly... So I frogged that whole mess and started over, and now it's starting to look respectable!<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crochet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@crochet</a>

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MakeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeShitMonday</a>, crochet edition...Baby's first <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> design! 🎉 (Well, adaptation really. But I'm still proud of it!)I had a full skein of yarn left over from the [Winged Wrap^Scarf](<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/113824081839727708" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/113824081839727708</a>) I made for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@mbroome" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mbroome</a> over the holidays... and he was commenting about one of his winter hats not fitting well... so I thought, surely Moogly has a hat pattern to go with that scarf!Except that [the original pattern](<a href="https://www.mooglyblog.com/winged-wrap/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mooglyblog.com/winged-wrap/</a>) was for a wrap, not a scarf... So no matching hat. But that's okay - I made her [Fallen Leaves hat](<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/111915799536362127" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/111915799536362127</a>) a few months ago, so I understand generally how hats work. How hard can it be? (Famous last words...🤦🏻‍♀️)Normal, sane people crochet hats top-down, starting with a magic circle. But I wanted a particular color pattern at the edge, so I started at the bottom and worked my way up! 😁 And after a couple false starts and enough frogging and reworking to make *at least* three hats, I finally had a decent start...<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crochet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@crochet</a>

🎤🧹Pop quiz: There's a costume party in 2 hours, and all you have is a pair of cat ears and a 3D printer. What do you do?We were invited to a birthday party over the weekend, and the hostess wanted everyone to come in "party animal" costumes, even if you "just throw on those old black cat ears you got for Halloween".<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@llorenzin</a> and I would be masking, since the party would be a bunch people in a small apartment, and I got to thinking about what I could do to add to those "old black cat ears" from the Halloween box...One of my protective masks has a SIP valve for drinking using a small straw. While out running on Friday, I thought about how could replace the SIP cover with one of my own design, adding an arch that could be used to hold some pipe cleaners as whiskers.We ended up with a very busy Saturday, but with a couple hours to go before the party, I pulled out my calipers, pulled up Tinkercad, and threw together a simple design for a cover with an arch (made of just 3 basic geometric shapes plus cutouts).My first two prints failed because I didn't slice it with supports under the arch, and the "arch" ended up as a big ugly glob of plastic. Doh! After re-slicing with supports, it printed great. The fit over the SIP valve was good, and it worked just the way I had hoped!

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MakeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeShitMonday</a>, crochet edition...This week I finished edging my two <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> WIPs! 🧶🎉 (<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/113903652876847512" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://infosec.exchange/@llorenzin/113903652876847512</a>) I bought two skeins of this base colorway intending to make a totally different project, but the variegated colorway didn't work with that pattern (too busy). So I figured I'd see if I could make two of this one-skein shawlette pattern that I love - one for myself, one for a friend. But it's a larger gauge yarn, so needs a bigger hook for the lace to look right, so I only had enough in one skein for the body... 😣I didn't want to use some fraction of the second skein to edge it, and not have enough left over to be useful. 😬 But I realized I had leftover yarn from two other projects that might coordinate... And I'm really happy with how the two edging colors worked out with each individual skein - the two skeins were clearly from different dye lots in that colorway, and I matched up the more colorful edging yarn with the brighter of the two bodies, so the edging doesn't overwhelm the body. Total luck that I could use stash yarn for this, and I'm thrilled with how it ended up!As I was finishing the first edging, I noticed that the pattern as written results in a very subtle asymmetry at the corners. And I know I'm the only person in the world who would ever notice this, let alone care... 🙄 But I tried modifying the second edging to make them match, and I do think it looks better that way. So I ended up frogging the entire damn first edging and redoing to make it symmetrical, and now it won't bother me *every time I wear it for the rest of my life*. This makes me deeply happy and was well worth the ~3 hours of extra work! Anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right? 😊<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crochet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@crochet</a>

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MakeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeShitMonday</a>, crochet edition...I'm making good progress (for me - never been fast at this!) on the second Fortune's Shawlette body from re-purposing this variegated yarn...Is it just me, or does the color balance look different on the second skein? I personally think the yellow is a bit more prominent in the completed body (upper right) than in the partial body (lower left).I'm curious because very soon I'll need to decide which to edge in teal vs which to edge in the dark brown / forest green, so I'm trying to figure out whether it matters which color edging goes with which body...<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crochet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@crochet</a>

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MakeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeShitMonday</a>, crochet edition...So remember that scarf I made for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@mbroome" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mbroome</a>? Turned out it wasn't quite as long as he would like - and it's made horizontally, rather than end-to-end, so I couldn't just add more rows. No problem... I'll just block it for length! Except that blocking it made it feel more airy / less cozy, and the chevrons didn't show up as well. 😬<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/crochet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@crochet</a>

Lisa Lorenzin (she/her)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MakeShitMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeShitMonday</a>, mending edition...After my success hand-hemming my new pajamas over Christmas, I dug around in my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/mending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mending</a> pile and rescued a tshirt that's been languishing there for weeks. It's from the Uwharrie Trail Fall Thru-Hike - a 4-day, 43-mile backpacking trip we did back in October - and I haven't worn it yet because the hem was coming undone... Looks like the machine that coverstitched it ran out of thread before running out of shirt. 🙄The right-side thread was still in place, and even mostly still tucked into the fabric, so I poked at it a little and realized that the simplest fix was just a whip stitch to capture the raw edge of the hem on the wrong side and lock down the existing thread on the right side. Didn't have an exact color match, but what I did have was close enough! (And it was helpful to be able to identify my stitches on the wrong side when I realized I had a loop of slack I hadn't pulled all the way through and needed to snug up about 20 stitches to move the slack to the working thread... 🤦🏻‍♀️)Very excited to finally be able to wear this shirt! 🥰<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@cannibal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@cannibal</a>
