Not my posts but an interesting thought.

[image description: screengrab of a series of tweets from @ rootsworks: “When I was in college, part of our university’s graduation requirements had a community service component that they called service learning.

One of my service learning classes involved work at a local homeless community center, helping people write resumes and cleaning bathrooms.

Our instructor told us to expect to see the bathrooms trashed a lot–like you will clean the bathroom and immediately someone will wreck it.

And it’s not because they disrespect your work or don’t value having access to clean bathrooms or whatever, but because of control.

When you feel like you have no control over your life or your environment, your brain is going to want to assert control however it can.

Which results in trashed bathrooms.  It’s control exercised over the one small part of your environment that you still have the power to affect.

I see kids on tumblr using the language of social justice as cudgels on people who actually do care about and listen to them

or holding the creators within their communities to an impossibly high standard that they never apply to mainstream media properties.

I just see trashed bathrooms. ‘These are the people my voice will reach,’ they rationalize, ‘so these are the people I’ll hurt.’

But the guiding principles of social justice are aimed at correcting and dismantling systems.  Stop using them to dismantle people.”]

The chain cable sweater is done! It is indeed intended to be a crop top, by request of the recipient. The yarn is 100% alpaca so it's super soft and cuddly.

The chain cable came from this video tutorial. There's no written pattern, so here's the instructions I transcribed (just for the cable, not for the sweater itself). It's a bit fiddly and you need to be careful about row counting, but it came out looking so good!

Chain cable

9 stitches across

  1. Knit right side/purl wrong side for nine rows
  2. Chain (RS):
  3. K 6, turn, (slip 1, p 2, turn, slip 1, k 2, turn) x 2, slip 1, p 2, turn
  4. Transfer 3 stitches to cable needle and hold in front
  5. Put next three stitches on cable needle also and hold in front
  6. Transfer 3 stitches from right needle to left needle
  7. Knit last three stitches from cable needle
  8. Knit first three stitches (with short rows) from cable needle
  9. Knit 3
