More Yarn Please

asking someone to make you clothes means getting so many requests to be measured…

Pinhole cast on

The pinhole cast on allows you to start knitting in the round from the centre outwards without getting a hole in the middle.

Questions I ask myself while scrolling Ravelry:

Very proud of this pumpkin sweater I was able to finish just before the start of Spooky Season!

One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it's done.

Sometimes (oftentimes), when a creative project is "misbehaving," it's because it is tired, and overstimulated, and just needs a time out to rest -- like toddlers often need.

And sometimes, you should give your creative projects time to talk to each other, as well as to you.

Instructions unclear; my 17 ongoing craft projects have unionized against me.

was having a discussion with a friend im teaching to knit and she had a big breakthrough when she switched from metal to wood, whereas i absolutely prefer metal.

if anyone's wondering why i haven't been craftposting lately it's because i've been chipping away at a tv color bar blanket:

just 75% of the blanket to go lmao

important QA testing going on

haven't gotten as much done in the last month as I wanted but progress pic anyway! I'm just over 1/3 of the way through

2/3 of the way done and the long bars are COMPLETE! it's time for the next section of colors!

done with this mercifully short section! into the home stretch with 75% of the blanket done and moving on to the last color section

FINALLY

Crying tears of joy.... in a knitting facebook group someone's selling four balls of a discontinued yarn that I only have two balls of. And I havent touched them for ages because two balls wasnt enough for anything I wanted to make LMAO. Miracle of miracles!

THEYRE FROM THE SAME BATCH AS MINE TOO??

Reblog to find the discontinued yarn you need, in the correct dyelot.

if you want to learn crochet or knitting, ask yourself:

can i count?

am i prepared for the answer to be hell no?

You also have to ask yourself:

Can I count under adverse circumstances?

Am I prepared to do it three dozen times in a row?

The pros about crochet/knitting with dark yarn: it's gorgeous.

The cons about crochet/knitting with dark yarn: can't see sh*t.

took me 8 months and very approx 380m of embroidery floss, and I’m now finished. going to have it framed soon :)

simply in awe of this jaw dropping insane amount of perseverance

it’s beautiful

they love me for my consistent and even stockinette stitches and my perfect gauge

me: moving and detangling my yarn before I start a new row

my cat: *entranced*

me: My Love, I will end you 🙃

realising how much yarn it takes to make anything

"Do you have any high intensity hobbies?" well you see i play a mean game of yarn chicken sometimes 😬
