Man, God's providence is gonna eat every time!! Just trust Him; everything will ultimately work out for your good as He promised. He knows what you need and He knows what's not right for you according to the season you're currently in. Nothing He does is to harm you, but to prosper you. While it may not be clear now, remember that you can only see one piece of the puzzle at a time. God holds the answer key, knowing where each piece belongs. He merely asks for your trust in placing the pieces in their rightful spots, rather than struggling to put it together on your own.

Hello, my lovelies!
For some reason I don't post here often as just... me - the person behind NestingTendencies. I'm not quite sure why this is; I guess most of my crafting needs are catered to by Ravelry, as a platform. But I do realise that I have many, many wonderful followers, who have been regularly reblogging both the patterns that have piqued my interests and my own creations. And for that I am very grateful!
So I'd like to try and be a bit more social here; get to know you a little, learn what projects you're working on, and show you what's on my own hook!
First up is the Mariposa Sweater which has been the bane of my existence sole focus of my work since January!
You see, one of my new year's resolutions was to grow as a crafter beyond shawls, which are my specialty, and make sosme sweaters and jumpers! I've been having urges for those since last autumn and by now the craving cannot be ignored any longer.
So this is my first ever crocheted sweater, right? Do I bother with a gauge swatch?
No. Gauge swatches are for the weak.
Pretty soon I realise that my crochet is much, much tighter than the author's. Do I go back and try a size bigger? Do I increase the hook size to obtain the right gauge?
No. I decide that I know better, and I understand enough about how raglan works to just wing it. The joy of making a garment yourself is that you can make it fit your personal body contours perfectly, right?
So long story short, I am now on Mariposa the Second (First one is here) and I have frogged SUBSTANTIAL NUMBERS OF ROWS (like, all of the yoke for example) - wait for it - upwards of 20 times. Yes, 20. Not an exaggeration. If I hadn't done that, I could have probably about 4 completed Mariposas by now.
But no. The Gods have cursed me with a perfectionist streak. So we live and we learn and we carry that burden with us.
The photos in this post are the latest of the most correct version of this top that I currently have. My New Hope. My baby. I'm going to be sharing more WIP photos in the future.
The only good news is that as soon as I figure this sweater out, I'm going to have meticulous notes, which will give me the exact stitch sounts for my measurements and unlock the door to other jumpers like this one, of which I want to make at least 3.
And then there are other sweater patterns. 74 of them currently in my library. At least a dozen literally burning a hole in my consciousness - I want to start them immediately right now yesterday!!! Look look!
Elara Pullover - This is want in gradient purples, like an autumnal sunset
Chevie Sweaer - This I want in greys and golden ochres. I love the stitch used.
Don't Scrap That Raglan - Aaaah, Moss Stitch my favouritest stitch ever and I've almost improvised a sweater like this before!
Cosmopolitan Sweater - This I want in solid teal. Alpine stitch could well become my new mistress. It's also probably THE sweater I should have started with as my first project...
Peony Tee - I am in love with the funky-coloured contrasting sleeves and the raglan concept
Bridgette Ballet Neck Pullover - Ballet necks are my weakess...
Cap Sleeve Top - This I had a little romance with before, oh, about 8 years ago and it was shaping up beautifully in navy - I have all the yarn that I need for it.
Isop Sweater - I really want to learn this fair isle technique of making yokes, because I saw this pornographically beautiful set of 2 knitted sweaters in just the perfect colours and I'd like to do equvalent crochet versions, no I'm not at all trying to run before I can walk, why you ask?
Many of them much easier than Mariposa. Many of them not so tailored to the figure.
But no. Mariposa.
I have been buying up yarn in bulk again. This is how I know I'm in trouble.
But what about you guys? Do you have a Nemesis Project that has been kicking your ass for ages? Do you get overly ambitious like me? Or do you make your gauge swatches and avoid pissing off the Gods of Yarn, like sensible people?

Lately I've been playing boardgames, and yes they are a whole thing, it's not just Monopoly! 🤡
Anyway, every Friday, my sister and I go to this place that holds something called #meetncompete and it's there where I got started with this whole thing. But if I to backtrack, it would be cause of this dude who introduced me to a whole world of games and such.
But the point of this post is, today I went to this place called ( Drawphase) and they did like a giveaway, and the place is usually for ppl who play card games, like Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokémon and such... Aka, not me😬 and guess who won!🤭
I needed up taking a pack of this card game called Magic: the gathering and do my first exchange of cards, lol.
So, I think it's safe to say, that in 2024, the chances of me entering the card game league are close to " for sure!"

When I was watching Star Trek, I didn't think much about it. It was new to me, apart from general knowledge of what Star Trek is, I didn't know about this, I hadn't watched the old series. I knew these films weren't masterpieces but they worked for me, it was ok. When I started watching Heroes last summer, I developed an embarrassing phase of liking Zachary Quinto (I better not mention anything about his eyebrows because this post is already embarrassing). I started looking through stuff and came across ZQ!spock. I thought I'll look at a ship I used to like spockxnyota (I don't know what it's called) and I thought I didn't remember it being that nice. Basically, the essence of this post is that I like this ship.
I think spock is sweet

Thank You for 2022!
YO PEOPLE, I’M BACK. I actually don’t even know how long I was gone for, and I’ve changed my username again. Hopefully y’all remember me?
Anyway. I just wanted to do a quick recap of 2022 because damn, it has been one wild ride. I’ve have a career change, which I’m super grateful for.
I got sucked into the black hole of Stray Kids and Stayville. This is where I live now. I have had so much fun fangirling and bonding with friends over these eight guys, and have made some great new friends because of them as well! My bias list went from Chanlix to Hyunlix, and now it’s mostly Chan with the entirety of Danceracha being my bias wreckers.
Gazette still manage to have a hold on my bank account somehow. Let’s just blame Ruki’s fabulous designs because evidently, I’m weak against him and can’t say no.
Although I had some really rough moments in 2022, everything ended up changing for the better. It’s been a great year, and I can’t wait for 2023! February is going to be jam packed with Stray Kids concerts with friends, and that’s only the beginning! Hopefully I can also squeeze in a trip back to Japan in 2023. If not Japan, then maybe South Korea.
Thank you for everything, 2022! May 2023 be blessed for everyone 💕

Letter for him - 30/12/2022
"We all search perfection, in others or ourselves. In eyes, we seek something pure.
But there are littles dots all over my skin, small scars of my past wars. It is in small things, that you can find imperfection. You look at someone and see they're limping, they have crooked teeth. We said that the true beauty is inside, but even inside, i feel a chaos in me, a storm that startle everything.
I believe that Perfection is Imperfection. The same way you can find tears in happiness and laugh in sadness. Did you never like something in someone, something you used to hate, to dispise? But this person made it pretty, beautiful. And every single thing that make this person is pretty. And suddenly they are enough. They complete you. Their imperfections become pretty. Everything becomes balance, beauty and voluptuousness.
My little dots on my pale skin will look like stars in someone's eyes and my scars will be embellished and kissed. Someone will love what i hate the most. Someone will adore what i despise the most. They will find beauty in me, the same way i will find beauty in them.
I hope you will find someone pretty like this, perfect like this. Because that's how i value my love. It's the way i can love tiny little imperfections, accept it."
-Ashley

You know what sucks, is that you want to share so much and you have no problem with sharing, but you don't have anyone who actually cares or even gives a single fuck, and then, they ask why you didn't say something...
As if you even faked interest.

I honestly want to cry bc the supervisor has been overbearing and shes been hovering so fucking much i think she thinks i have no idea what im doing. She interrupted me in front of a customer to assist them while i was already helping them. She made the process so much longer than it needed to be. She made it so difficult for them.
You bet your ass im documenting all of this down because im so close to bringing this up to the branch manager.

Today I was busy. Spent most of the day cleaning my apartment. Never did get around to doing the laundry but I'm sure I'll tackle that tomorrow. I did manage to do a majority of the dishes, aside from the few pans I forgot. Rewarded myself with some fridge pizza and watermelon. Not together. The watermelon was a late night treat.
My mum came to visit which was nice. She then told me the reason behind my headaches. Mothers must have superpowers because they know everything. Well at least my mum does. The reason for the debhilitating headaches/migraines are caffeine headaches. Well, lack there of. I'm lactose intolerant and my grocery store rarely has lactose free products which can be quite infuriating. I also took a wee break from coffee and now I'm paying the price.
So tomorrow morning, I'm making coffee with oat milk and we're going to deal with it. Damn me and my pickiness, though I am working on it.
Its chilly tonight, on my balcony smoking my evening joint. Haven't felt like editing lately. Been trying to write but mostly I just daydream about countles ls storylines. Then the existential dread sinks in and I fear I'll never be a successful writer.
Goodnight lovelies,
~Eve

[july 2nd]. it’s july and i deleted those facetime pictures of you. i think i’m realizing it is over, or maybe not, and i’m taking yet another jab at making a decision and following through. you said you suffer from a broken heart, that it is the reason why you couldn’t and cannot love me. humans are ironic that way, aren’t we? staying away— far from love— when it’s the only cure for brokenness. you sound just like my grandma who refused to take her medicine. pills on pills piling on piles of peppermint on top of the plates i broke playing restaurant with my kermit the frog. i named kermit after my dad’s friend who gifted it to me. i wonder where it is now. is it collecting dust in my dad’s wooden closet in that abandoned house that was never home, holding mere silhouettes of a fixed family? i don’t think i want to know the answer. i miss being miniature and not being seen or taken seriously; which was nothing far from horrible parenting at the time. i do miss the way my stuffed panda accompanied me at all times, those times when solitude wasn’t even a recognizable concept in my brain. loneliness wasn’t an option, even though i begged for required company (siblings.) it’s july 2nd and i wonder what franz kafka would’ve thought of this diary. would he have called you a waste of character or taking up just the perfect amount of space in my mind for me to re-surrender my experiences back to writing.
