Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

Knitting pickups lines:
I’m like wool, I’ll keep you warm even when wet.
Want to get felt up? Because I got some warm water and friction.
Ever heard of a Russian join? Because I want to tie our ends together.

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

2021 Knitting Year in Review, 7/14
Radiata by Nim Teasdale, made for myself before the Summer Soltice! It reminds me simultaneously of sunbeams and phoenix fire, and it makes me happy.

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure about the names I've given. There are multiple ways to do a crochet provisional CO and multiple ways to do a provisional CO over a cable or piece of scrap yarn, and they don't seem to have different names. So some of the options may actually describe more than one technique. (I know of at least three ways to do Judy's Magic CO.) If people want, I can try to find photographs illustrating the different techniques.
Please give more info in the tags or comments! Also I'd love to hear your reasons for why you like or dislike a particular technique.

#kiki bakes#lemon squares#additional info: i forgot my browser password a few months ago#and thus lost all of my bookmarks i’d collected over the years#including the recipe for these#luckily i have a habit of writing down recipes i love and storing them in the family cookbook#so while i am still searching for the og site#at least the recipe was written down!#also reminder to keep hard copies of beloved recipes somewhere#just in case

Had a revelation recently and thought it might help other people too.
There is absolutely NO shame in having a ton of projects on the go and switching between or even dropping them on a whim.
Hobbies are meant to be FUN.
You can have 20 writing projects, or knitting, or whatever your thing is, and putting them down for a bit or abandoning them is a-okay.
I personally would never think that someone who started playing a video game and then decided to play another before it was finished was a quitter, so why am I so judgemental towards myself?
Doing your hobbies in a way that brings you joy isn't selfish or weak, it's...literally the whole point of them. Go nuts!

Me, in my own voice, under my breath, while knitting, in plain view of Partner :
one...two...three...two together... one
Partner:
Hey did you see this!!! LOOK!! LOOK AT IT!!!
Me, in my Mom's voice, LOUDLY:
TWO....THREE....FOUR....TWO TOGETHER...YARN OVER
Partner:
Oh sorry; you're knitting.
