During my youth, the Blanket Stand was always the first game of chance one encountered upon entering the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall.

Weird History Of The Space Blanket

#Refugee crisis symbol to #conspiracy theory, this shiny blanket means many things to many people

Before #space #blankets were human #first-aid essentials, they were basically interstellar ponchos, designed to shield Earth-built machines from harsh environment of #space

First deployed in 1973 to keep #Skylab from overheating, they’re now an essential part of most crafts, custom-cut to fit everything from the #Hubble Space Telescope

Yes, You Need to Clean Your #WinterGear Before Storing It for the Season

Here’s why and how to clean and store six winter essentials so they'll last for years.

"As we move into warmer weather, it’s time to tuck away cold-weather essentials, including winter coats, boots, mittens, and bedding. However, stuffing stinky or stained items away for months is a surefire way to permanently damage them. Dirt, grime, snow, salt, and ice can ruin your winter gear and even attract pests. Here’s why and how to wash six winter essentials before storage."

[...]

It's important to clean off corrosive salt and dirt off of your snowshoes, skis and other winter gear before storing it!

"Winter footwear includes boots of all kinds—galoshes, hiking boots, moccasins, snow shoes, and everything in between. They tend to pick up more than slush and mud. Salt and bacteria can be much worse. "

#SnowWashing Is Everywhere—Fabric Experts Explain When It Works and When It Doesn’t

From #rugs and #blankets to #sweaters, this old-world laundry trick can refresh fabrics without water or detergent. Experts break down how to reap the benefits—and when to skip it.

By Terri Robertson, Published: Jan 30, 2026

"I can barely scroll TikTok or Instagram these days without coming across a post about the latest laundry trend—snow washing, or #snötvätt in Swedish. This traditional cleaning method is sort of like taking your #wool clothing, blankets, and rugs to #MotherNature’s #DryCleaner.

"It’s free, completely natural, and nothing new to those who live in Nordic countries. Many knitters are hip to the process too. But everyone else might be wondering, does this really work?

"Enter Fran Kozen and Larissa Shepherd, experts in fiber science and apparel design at #CornellUniversity who are demystifying the trend—and as it turns out, it’s a really good one."

Winter Warmers

I have completed two crocheted afghans in the last few weeks and through them I was pleased to learn the corner-to-corner technique. It is surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it, although I had to find a YouTube video in order to get started. Come to think of it, YouTube should probably be renamed TheHangOfIt because that’s what most of us go there to get.

#NorthernLightsCollege held a #Kairos #BlanketExercise Wednesday as a way of #speaking on #Canadian #history using an #Indigenous approach.

#KairosBlanketExercise is a #workshop that #explores the #relationship between Indigenous & #NonIndigenous peoples in Canada. During the workshop, #blankets are laid on the floor to represent land, and participants are invited to step into the roles of #FirstNations , #Inuit & Métis peoples.
