  1. 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

  6. Well, maybe not quite yet...!

    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. "

  11. #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."

  16. The #Palestinian #baby who died from #hypothermia Tues in the #Gaza Strip is among the >100 #children who have died since the start of the “ceasefire” in Oct.

    The “ceasefire” allowed a surge in #humanitarian #aid into Gaza, mainly #food. Residents say shortages of #blankets & warm #clothes remain, & there is little wood for fires. There’s been no central #electricity in Gaza since the first few days of the war in 2023.

  28. 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.

  36. My Posts Escaped. And So Did I! Or: Math is My Blanket!

    I did maintenance work on my blog, touching all the posts. As my blog is also a Fediverse instance needed to take great care that changed blogs did not get posted there again. Of course, some of them escaped, and I had to post - again - writing about this! I found a workaround to keep posts from escaping, but it was error-prone.
