Petition to merge the Banff subreddit with r/Redditlake:

Seeing as 4 of the first 10 posts in the Banff subreddit are photos of Redditlake, and two additional posts are asking/complaining about how to get to Redditlake, I think they should just merge at this point. Because we all know the only thing worth seeing in Banff National Park is Redditlake! 😆

In all seriousness, I love Moraine Lake and go up the road multiple times a year (usually on skis). I was watching some family video from a visit in the 90’s and there were only about 15 cars in the parking lot, despite the time stamp saying it was noon in mid-July! It’s a little weird knowing that this lake is now internet famous and not just a local gem anymore.

Obligatory photo of the lake, and one from a cross country ski on the road this past winter (you can’t actually go all the way to the lake due to a big avalanche zone)

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation on what hook brand is the best for beading with 8/0 beads. I got a set of really small ones off amazon, and despite saying they are size 0.5mm hooks, only one of them works for my miyuki 8/0 beads (I like having a few hooks loaded with beads at a time so I don't have to keep dipping into the pot which slows me down). My favorite thing to knit is beaded lace shawls, and usually I use 6/0 beads, but sometimes will use 8/0 beads for contrast (little burgundy ones in the photo).
