Woodrow PeelTook a break from yelling at the goddam squirrels to read an exchange on Nextdoor that I was yelling at the squirrels again and now I’m “That Guy Who Yells At Squirrels” which is bullshit cuz I yell at a lot of other stuff.
Appagal Crochet@woodyluvscoffee That's ok. I yelled at popsicle sticks when they were splitting instead of allowing an eye for crochet needles. I have gotten pretty good at whittling them though. lol
@AppalachianCrochet Those were popsicle sticks? Very cool. But yell at them anyway.
@woodyluvscoffee Yes, my grandpa was a great whittler who taught me how to cut away from myself and make snares among other things like whistles and even rope from stripped bark. I still have an old canebrake chair that he weaved the seat for in 1988 with me. The hard part is not having the wood split down the center when making the eye. Trick, soak your popsicle sticks in water overnight.
Full on East TN geek! lol (Although I live in OH now.)
@AppalachianCrochet east tenn? Old friend was from Goosepimple Junction, near Bristol.
@woodyluvscoffee Oh yes, I know where that is. My grandpa is out of that area of the sticks and I grew up in Hamblen County.
