let's play the game, how many scarves (and one dressing gown) can jeremy brett fit on one small circular mirror in the most theatrical manner possible? it's 6! although i'm not convinced the ones slightly off camera actually stayed on...

#our theatrical queerio #i love his scarves #his favorites are a very simple knit stitch and i always wonder if someone in granada knitted them for him #especially cuz his scarves are unnaturally long #also the playful pat on the shoulder kills me #as does his smile at the end #sherlock holmes #john watson #granada #granada holmes #granada watson #jeremy brett #edward hardwicke #wisteria lodge #original post

I always try to mentally justify my oc’s things because of my own insecurities, like “oh aliens think knitting is impressive but also the human they see knitting is actually really really good at knitting” and I think it’s about time I outgrew that

Aliens seeing Humans knit a really basic scarf and losing their minds and thinking it’s really impressive and sexy of those Humans, and they’re right, it is sexy and amazing of those Humans to be able to make a simple scarf, that’s a handmade thing that they made!!! with their hands!! an item they created!!!

#no fandom #aliens #humans #knitting #gotta get out of my ‘aliens like humans because humans are impressive’ mindset #because I just know it’s connected to my ‘people will only like me if I can master something’ insecurity #my ‘if I can justify my existence’ insecurity #simple things are amazing #I’m amazing #humanity is amazing

Green Cloth / Towel

Time: About 120 minutes or 2 hours.

(beginners should expect it to take longer)

Video: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Material used: Cotton, 3 1/2 needles. (I like my cleaning towels loose, size 2 1/2 or 3 needles will make them tighter.)

Knit 6-7 rows.

Knit 4, then purl, X *[knit, purl, knit], purl, knit last 4.

Do this for about 45 rows.

If I was going to go back in time to disrupt history with a single technology the temptation would be incredible to make it knitting.

Like I don't know how much that would really do to alleviate human suffering en masse so it's not the heroic option like idk an understanding of germ theory on the level necessary to improve child mortality in the long term? But it would be so cool to see what happened.

Because knitting in the form we know it is basically a 20th century invention.

I hate that! It doesn't seem right at all, huh?? Knitting is over 1000 years old, that's all we know we don't have the artifacts to say more precisely than that, but it spent most of that time being pretty exclusively a means of making socks, and not a viral sensation of a sock method, either. The purl stitch was figured out and then forgotten again.

That's nothing. That's like 0 time, in the history of string.

And then, almost every knitting technique of any serious elaboration, all the complicated stitches and the cable knits and all that: less than 150 years old. Cannot believe this. Wild. What is humanity.

Anyway I just want to see what would happen if you went back to before the proliferation of the loom and taught knitting to a bunch of different communities across the mesolithic world. Some of them would keep it up, if you seeded it widely.

Knitting is way more nomadism-friendly than weaving, so at the very least the early proliferation of knit fabrics would alter the economic balance of pastoral and agricultural communities. i feel like it would also have interesting impacts on the fishing net.

#hoc est meum #knits are not suitable for all the same purposes as woven cloth #and if you want a fine dense fabric it's much less efficient #but stretchy fitted garments...#quick simple lace #the interesting cultural angles opened up by like #linen mesh #being relatively efficient to make

...for once finished a yarn and have an idea with what I want to do with it the same day. Initially, before plying, I was thinking it would be a bag at best, but given the colors and how much it puffed up (from a very light sport to worsted) and the colors and how much softer it got... I wanna make it into a shawl.

Have never made a shawl... was poking around ravelry and it looks like with the yardage I've got I could probably make a small one. Would love to do some sort of feather motif... might challenge myself to try it for once

#stockinette or other simple stitches are my mainstay bc they require no brain #and i dont have a brain #but also ive been feeling like... idk man ive been knitting for 9 years now and almost everything is stockinette #granted i also usually spin the yarn and thats the best part where i try a lot of fancy things sometimes #but i do look at the intricate shawls ppl who have only been knitting a year or so make and i get a little jealous lol #shawls are so pretty and i am often cold

Diagonal Stitch Dice Bag

I finished the dice bag! This is the first knit through of a pattern I designed. If I have the motivation, I'm hoping to knit it at least one more time so I can catch any kinks in the pattern in preparation for sharing it!

#crafts #description in alt text #knitting #knitblr #knit #diagonal stitch bag #dice bag #if i share the pattern it would be free #it wouldn't feel right to charge for something this simple

Baffled by how the general perception of programming is that it's not a creative hobby, as if it doesn't involve making countless decisions based on your vision for the finished product just the same as any other art form >:U

When you live on computers like so many of us do, programming is literally bending the fabric of reality. It's MAGIC! You can do LITERALLY ANYTHING* with it!!! I cannot stress enough how much the world opens up when you realize what sorts of things you can write or use programs to do. Sure, you can make tools that are generally practical (and yeah, those can be really nice), but you can also make things that are really only useful to you, or not useful at all and just fun! It's not like you're limited to only making boring things you'll never use, no matter how dull and confusing online programming tutorials make the process seem.

((* Except tell when a program will run forever. You can't do that. You can do most other things though!!))

And even when you only have one specific thing you want to do, there are as many ways to implement it as there are people to give it a go. While there are generally accepted "good ways" of doing certain things, really, there are no hard and fast rules. If you write something that does what it needs to do, it's usually fine no matter how you accomplish it. I always end up putting a lot of myself into programs I write, and I imagine it's the same for other people. Programming is EXTREMELY creative, and artistic, and fun!!!

For such a popular thing, the public perception of it as a hobby is horrible, and I think that's just a shame. Not only is it not too hard for most people to learn (the usual worry), it's ALSO not boring (or for professionals only, for that matter)! Programming as an artistic hobby deserves better rep fr

#hunny rambles #programming is probably my most creative hobby tbh #I knit and I draw and I write sometimes #but I mostly only knit from patterns and draw the same few things and write short simple scenarios #not to knock any of those things ofc. theyre obviously creative too #but i usually put WAY more consideration into programs i write than something im knitting from directions #and im always really proud of the products :D #this post has been sponsored by me spending hours thinking over how I want my personal site im making to look and act #if this isnt the kind of suffering that only comes with making art idk what is

I've been completely out of the crafting game for a while. I burned myself out, taking on too many projects all at once. But the other day I decided to jump back into my crafting and WOW! I fucking love knitting and crocheting!!! So here's to new beginnings with old hobbies!

#knitting #simple mojo shawl #imagined landscapes #simple mojo #i started this 4.5 years ago to get my mojo back. . . it didn't work #but it's working now!
