#ProTip: A weighted blanket can be turned sideways over summer. Achieving the same pressure on the torso, but venting heat from the neck and feet, covered only by a sheet.
It's getting really cold here, and I just remembered, and turned it back to lengthwise. Looking forward to warmer feet tonight.

Dear fellow handcrafters: has anyone of you tried to crochet a weighted blanket? Any tips or recommendations? I'm starting with thick wool for socks and plastic pony beads.

Why buy a weighted blanket when you can just dump your clean laundry on your blanket and never fold it?

If you don't have to struggle to pull your blankets on top of you for bedtime, what are you even doing with your life?

Stupid shits.

I'm a bit baffled by my blanket. Someone said that we should look at the weight per surface area to determine what blanket we need.
Guess what?
I found that this 10lbs blanket has the same weight per area as the 20lbs blanket that I had bought earlier.
I like this one better, but what's the difference? Maybe the materials, and the size. This one is kid's size. The one I had was king-size. The one I had was also more cumbersome to put together. It had a housing, and then you had to tie the blanket proper to a bunch of places.
I used my blanket last night and I have to say that my sleep was so-so. I was overheating at some point. I may need to rethink how many blankets I have on me at night. I just put it on top of all my other blankets. That's fine for naps, but maybe not for a full night of sleep.

Oh, I did get my 10lbs blanket today. For the record, going by the rule of thumb, my blanket should be 18-20lbs. I did order one like this before and I did not like it.
I napped earlier under my 10lbs blanket, and I slept pretty well. So much so that I had a bit of sleep inertia afterward, even though I timed it at 30 minutes.
I'm optimistic about this one.

Semi-related aside: my #4yo has to be constantly in contact with me if we're sitting side by side (they have a #SensoryProcessingDisorder). Which is fine but lately they're a freaking space heater little ball of sweat.
Might be time to get a small #WeightedBlanket for them.

#WeightedBlanket tested and approved! A much lighter experience than anticipated but not too light with its 7–8 kg (ca. 15% of my bodyweight I think). I do feel a bit hit-by-a-truck but hey it's a look!

I treated myself to a weighted blanket and if I don’t make it to work tomorrow then you know where to find me.
-
I find that hepls me too.
Have you any experience of weighted blankets or similar? They're supposed to help.
I haven't tried but I'm seriously considering it. I don't want to waste my money on something that is a fad.

Thema: #WeightedBlanket (Gewichtige Decke?). Was sind eure Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen? Wie groß, wie schwer? Lohnen diese super teuren gestrickten?

I would like to send a shout-out to my weighted blanket for being the only one that holds me as I am when I feel as I do. 🤗

CW: Looking for a weighted blanket
Ok so I'm looking to buy a #WeightedBlanket and wanted to see if there were any people on here who make those or know where to get them? I want to try and support #smallbusiness #blackownedbusinesses
Are there more hashtags I can use? #latinaowned? Is that a tag? I'm just gonna add more tags to try and reach people. #handcrafted #sewing #blankets #crafts #weightedblankets

Need better sleep? Two words: WEIGHTED BLANKET.
Total game changer. Went from restless to a deep sleep instantly. Can't even describe why or how it's just so good.

CW: An asexual, autistic fox's interest in: feet/paws, stepping on
Continuing from the prior post, I've often said I'm not interested in #feet / #paws for sexual reasons, and slang like "pawslut" is off-putting to me.
So.. what's got an #asexual #autistic fox intrigued here?
In short: Weighted Blankets.
In person, I can be negatively overwhelmed by traditional arm-based hugs - it often feels off, and there's complicated social norms around how long to hug, how tight to hold, etc. I usually prefer too tight of a hug instead of too light - the latter tickles and makes me feel uncomfortable and sometimes not as wanted.
Much like snuggling under a #WeightedBlanket (they're awesome!), stepping on this data-fox with one's feet/paws bypasses all of the above.
* Feet/paws are naturally heavy/forceful – they're how one's weight transfers to the floor
* No social norms to fret about for these hugs (asides from those assuming sexual intent)
* Doesn't obstruct one's hands, great for multitasking (e.g. under desk play), so I don't feel like I'm selfishly monopolizing one's timeFurther reading:
