I need a sugar daddy to buy me a fancy interchangeable knitting needle set 😌

“pattern level: beginner”

me trying to read the pattern: guys i think i might be pre-beginner. guys i don't think i can read anymore. guys–

Listen I am not going to name anyone specifically, but pattern makers need to talk to one (1) fat person before they can post their patterns online.

I am so sick of finding a cute pattern, getting all the supplies, checking my gage, and starting to knit, only to find that my sleeves are a foot longer than a normal human because the pattern maker just multiplied all their numbers by 10 when they sized it up. I can't believe I have to say this but, just because my ass is fat does not mean my arms go down to my knees???

day 10: love is devotion ♡

isn't it weird how if you get up at 7 or 8, do your work all day, then have free time and go to bed at 11 that's absolutely fine

but if i said i get up at 10, do fun stuff in the morning then work in the evening and go to bed late, i could be called lazy, nevermind that i'm getting just as much or MORE work done as i would in a traditional work day

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 :)

So I have a nervous stim where I rub the palm of my hand and I’ve rubbed it completely raw. I’ve been really struggling to find a way to not do it so my hand can heal. I made this, super simple, single crochet in a round that fits around my hand, attach a chain around the thumb and then more single crochet. So far it’s worked pretty well. I can still rub it, and I don’t damage the skin more. So yeah this is a thing

the main problem with making things is finishing the projects you start

Crafting is really just a series of going:

"No, you can't start a new project. You need to finish an old one first"

"But I **promise** that I'll finish this one!!"

"Okay, fine"

And then you add another unfinished project to the pile

Me: Ugh, fingering weight tops for my size take FOREVER to make, I'm just going to use up what I have and never make a fingering weight top ever again!

Also me: I want to be able to wear hand knit clothes every day in summer, and I only have five short sleeve fingering weight projects planned, which means I need to get yarn to make three more to have eight to cover laundry day every week. I Will Not Regret This.

cause i see the words on the page, read each word in my head, and simultaneously see it all play out like a movie inside my head, but im recently finding out that not everyone subvocalizes and it's tripping me up

once again i am posting hand-woven images!

One of the great things about fiber arts (at least to me) is that... you outright own the things you make. It's hard for me to comprehend actually owning something, and that's that. The item you have created doesn't need to come with strings attached (pun intended).

In a world where you are constantly buying things but not owning any of it, truly, it's such an odd experience to actually have ownership of your labour, time, and love like that.

Anyway look how cute I am!!!!

Subaru not being an aggressively masculine straight boy isekai protagonist is so precious to me. The way he admires Emilia's outfits and hairdos and told her she could opt out of their first kiss, the way he's good with kids and loves small animals, the way he isn't petrified of things that might make other people question his manliness – he does have some toxic traits he's needed to work through that could be tied to gender ideals, but truly the ingredients for a wholesome man are all here.

Also he's bisexual and we love that.
