You guys really liked my last poll so

bro, the me inside your head is kind to you, right? haha? 🤨

I have finished a pair of socks!

I like the pattern of the first sock more. I think the chaos suits the colors. But I like the second sock a bit more in general, because the cuff isn't as chaotic.

All in all it doesn't matter, because they are at home socks, and all the need to be is warm and comfy 😌

Thank you @roboticchibitan for making these socks possible with your hand dyed yarn 💛

Just going to nip this in the bud now, but I will not be entertaining any "but what about/have you tried" suggestions in my inbox re: plastic straws.

If you message me about this, I'll be soft-blocking you.

I don't care how well-meaning your intentions are; your intentions don't mean shit when what you're actually saying is, "I am uncomfortable with your clearly stated needs as a disabled person and would rather you harm yourself than do something I have deemed immoral based on corporate greenwashing."

This is not up for debate. You either need to unpack the problematic elements of greenwashing on your own time and continue to be an ally to disabled people, or you need to own what you're actually saying and fuck off.

Anyway. Peace and love. Don't be ableist. Save a sea turtle, kill a big oil CEO ✌.

Everyone stop what you're doing and look st this meme @the-heart-witch made me

Dying laughing about this.

Since I sometimes make posts about gauge swatches people sometimes expect me to be able to tell them why their swatch lied to them and sometimes it's the resting step but sometimes it's not and gauge can be affected by a LOT of things like mood and stress, among many many others. And I'm good at knitting lace but I don't consider myself an expert knitter! There's lots of stuff I don't know! I am constantly learning new things!

So I've decided to join the "I don't knit gauge swatches I just suffer" people and get Catholic about it. The swatch lied to you because it was possessed by that guy who denied knowing Jesus. That's why it betrayed you.

Oh nice! Glad you're having fun!

When I make posts about gauge swatching half the replies are "I refuse to knit gauge swatches and yeah my stuff never turns out right but I just suffer lmao"

What are you, Catholic? Knit a swatch!!

OK I am the gauge swatch guy now I guess (I know I brought this on myself but how did this happen). I'm thinking about running an experiment about the resting step to see how long things need to rest. I'm thinking of knitting a bunch of different gauge swatches, some stockinette some lace maybe some cobweb for the fun of it. Maybe in different fibers also. And block them and then measure them an hour later, 6 hours later, 12 hours later, 24 hours later, and then once a day for a week. Just cuz I'm curious and people keep asking me how long to rest their swatches and I don't know!

I 100% cannot help with machine knitting, unfortunately. Never even been in the same room as a knitting machine.

Is the Cardigan in the round? If so you need to swatch in the round cuz most people's knit and purl stitches are slightly different. I'm actually considering running a week long experiment about swatching and how long you should let things rest because I couldn't tell you but I suspect the answer is "it depends" on things like pattern, fiber, etc. I know some people recommend letting a swatch rest up to a week but that seems excessive.
