    For the future, the best skunk off ever and highly recommended from vets (including me) (yes, don't bathe first): 1 pt H2O2, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon Dawn (is the best anti oil). Don't mix ahead, it foams like crazy. Use as shampoo (I do twice), then shampoo off. In vet school, I also checked with toxicogist and dermatologist and it's safe. Sorry (ugh!!!) but very glad he didn't swallow the spray --- it's deadly toxin.

    The light effects on your hat are so interesting Ray!
    On the outside, the darker blue is up so it gets more light and seems therefore lighter. The lighter blue is in the shadow and is therefore darker. So the two colors become more similar. On the inside the opposite happens so the contrast is actually enhanced.
    Loved the video as always :)

    Completing your degree is a Big Deal and you should be proud! To do it while working, maintaining a UA-cam channel, and having a life is very impressive. I do remember that feeling of "is that all there is" when I completed my degree. It does feel weird that the last assignment or test signals the completion of all that work. Congratulations!

    I’m so happy you reunited the roses on your sweater. I didn’t like the lack of contrast before, but didn’t want to say anything because it was your sweater not mine. Really like it now.

    Ray, congrats on completing your degree. A great accomplishment. I am a diploma nurse now retired after 42 years of working as a bedside nurse in many different areas. Nursing is very interesting as well as rewarding. My daughter is now in nursing school so I had someone to pass my stethoscope on to.

    • @NeedlesattheReadyPodcast
      @NeedlesattheReadyPodcast  Рік тому

      Aww that’s so sweet! Thank you so much for your years at the bedside! Your patients and their families are so grateful, I’m sure! Sending lots of hugs your way! 🥰🥰

    Congratulations Ray on completing your BSN degree! Kevin love your color choices on your Max colorwork flower sweater, can't wait to see it finished! I love your dyed yarn, especially the blue fade collection as well as your others. Keep up the good work boys.....always look forward to your episodes.

    Thank You for another great show for me to watch , while knitting. Currently working on the Tyntesfield top by Mary Henderson for The Wooley Thistle sweater KAL. Ray congratulations on your BSN! Ray your sweater came out so very nice. Kevin having to rip out and redo color work is painful, but it is usually, as in this case, for the best. This sweater is going to be a stunner! Aw, getting sprayed by skunks is never fun, for anybody! Once upon a time, both of our dogs got sprayed, even after washing neither one would sleep next to the other or even get close to each other.

    Hi, guys from Oregon! So glad to see you today 🧶. My Le Pouf cardigan in Kevin’s beautiful green “Druid’s Grove” yarn is on hold until the weather cools. I’ve finished the bottom edge ribbing and have one ribbed cuff and half of the other cuff, but with the heat, it was like sitting under a blanket! Congratulations, Ray, for your completing your classes! Pat yourself on the back! Keep on keepin’ on….👍🥰👍

    This old retired RN is so proud of you . Thinking I’ll have a wine spritzer in your honor. Only another nurse and maybe a spouse get how amazing this accomplishment is. Add a pocket , it draws attention to your manly chest. This old lesbian loves her handsome brothers.
