#yarn problems

[averyannoyingenby]

I love to crochet so much but it causes me physical pain when I have to play yarn chicken. Like the fuck you mean you’re gonna run out BEFORE I’m done, I fucking own you, you’re down when I say you’re done

Confessions of a Hand Knitter: I Still Buy Store-Bought Sweaters

In which I confess...I still buy sweaters at stores. A bad thing? Maybe not.

“Did you make that?” Someone asked me recently, admiring a new cardigan with intricate cable work, made of tiny laceweight yarn. “Uh, no,” I replied sheepishly. My admirer gasped. “YOU bought a sweater at a STORE?!” Yes. I, an avid knitter and maker of pullover and cardigan sweaters, still buy sweaters at stores.  It all goes down to eyesight. I’ve worn glasses since I was seven years old,…

Does anyone know of a good DIY replacement for a Loops and Threads yarn winder table clamp? I lost mine and Michael's (which is the parent company as well as the retail store that carries it) doesn't sell replacement parts for it :/

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

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

PROGRESS!!!!!!

#out of queue #ani rambles #so the problem i had earlier was ‘i made 2 chains when i wasnt supposed to and everything was whack’ #but i fixed it so now its Less Whack. #this is gonna be the hood i have like 12 more rows to stitch which might be a full ball of my yarn #also im understanding how motherfuckers listen to podcasts #i listened to like 4 video essays dissecting hozier lyrics and comparing them to dantes inferno #like my other hobbies (drawing and writing) require imagination and concentration and Specific Vibes #crochet requires a different kind of concentration #but so far its good for listening to new music and videoessays so maybe i’ll try a podcast tomorrow. or friday #tomorrow meaning later today because ITS FIVE AM #AAAAAAAAA

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.

I’ve been taking crocheting lessons for the past few weeks and I finally made something and I’m legit so proud I can’t stop thinking about it 😭😭😭😭😭😭

#the only downside is that. it’s a pair. so I have to make the other one ALSJDKDJDJD #TORTURE!!!!!!! #but sooo worth it omg #it’s very relaxing for me which is good bc I have so many Problems #but the only thing about doing this is it takes quite a while #and I wanna read and write some fics but I keep getting so focused on crocheting 😭 #I’ll post a pic once I’m done! <3 #I wanna try a blanket next since I have some thick and fluffy yarn :3 #—in store chit chat! 🍫

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.

#art #fiber art #crochet #honestly that's how i feel with my blanket still #like i don't own my subscription to spotify or the games i virtually purchased fullprice (which. why)... #...but when i get my yarn and i use the crochet hook i have been abusing a little i OWN the things it and i make #that's honestly kind of intimidating to me because i haven't truly felt i owned anything. like not even my life. it's a problem. #i just got some pretty yarn to use for a cardigan. they told me to use acrylic but i can't wear acrylic and i like cotton #<it's insane that i can just Decide to not use the pattern recommendations. like that's still crazy to me #anyway fuck capitalism and adopt a craft if you can #it's SUCH a freeing experience and it will make you feel crazy once you know what it feels like to actually own your labour. lol. #like it doesn't matter WHAT craft it is. could be knit. could be wood burning. could be abstract car manufacturing... #...as long as you can do it safely to your standards and you are satisfied and fulfilled with it then it can change you. let it change you.

Thinking about my neurology appointment again, I have another weird question for y'all! My neurologist was surprised and said it was weird I was right handed, which I am assuming is because of the reflex and grip tests she did, not because I give off a left-handed kind of vibe Wait I was going to ask if it was weird that I, a non-ambidextrous person, hit and kick evenly with both right and left sides, open doorknobs with whichever hand is closer, and use the foot pedal for the sewing machine with whichever foot it ends up nearer but can't write with my left hand But I just tried it and I can write with my left hand??? Like, not as neatly or as quickly as with my right, but it's clearly legible and not difficult to do. Have I been ambidextrous this entire time??

#the person behind the yarn #this post went off the rails in the middle #but I genuinely thought everybody could do that #like. I knew it threw people a bit when I was in martial arts and sparring #because I actually prefer to kick from my left side a bit but use whichever leg makes more sense #and also because I could change my stance for which leg was forward very easily and that was difficult for this one guy to do #but I thought it was just a that one guy problem! #I did not think I was potentially the odd one out #wait do you guys open doors with your off hand? #people who sew use both hands so they have one hand one each side of the cloth #and just use the hand on the far side of the cloth to push the needle back up. right? #I worded that poorly but I'm hoping it still makes sense

actually though, related: real fiber arts bitches know that lion brand just did a 6 skeins for $12 sale. and you know my ass stocked up

#it's sort of like the ep of spongebob where they find the baby clam. and they're blowing through so many diapers #and they peel back the wallpaper and there's diapers behind it. it's like that. but it's skeins of yarn #storage is going to become a problem but $2 skeins of yarn is Crazy and you are not gonna find it cheaper than that Anywhere #sergle.txt #and then they ran it a Second time but for ONLY one type of yarn. and I took advantage of it a Second Time.

54 axolotls!!!!

Different colors same cuteness. It took me like a month but now that I see them together I feel so happy 😊 I hope they sell at the Christmas bazaar in my city, I hope people find them as cute as I see them ✨

( This is my own pattern, inspired by some google images)

Trying to finish something I was supposed to do ages ago--spinning a contrast color for this sock yarn. The fleece (southdown babydoll) had a pretty wide range of grays, most of which I blended together. But I intentionally left the darkest gray out of the mix so that later I could spin up just that, and have a dark gray for the toe and heel. So, now I'm doing that.

One thing I did not realize until now (due to intentionally avoiding working with the darker gray locks) is that they are all much shorter than the other colors of gray, and a lot of them are way finer too. That's not ideal, so I might not use it for the toe--it won't be as hard-wearing of a yarn and the toe/ball of the foot is what wears out the fastest on my socks by far, so. It's fine though, I just want some kind of decorative element that uses the fact that this fleece had lots of nice colors.

I'm also not that surprised, I guess. The longest locks were always the very light gray ones. Hard to know why without seeing the sheep though.

#spinning #handspun yarn #southdown #hand combed top #sock yarn #ive been trying to work on the hat but i need to frog and debug and also come up with some new peeries #and all of that requires brain which i do not have #and i realized actually i just wanted to knit socks and not think abt stuff #the distaff spinning... i am also having problems with #holding it is killing my hands. didnt realize quite how much until i switched to spinning this #which is not usually painful unless my hands are already fucked #so while i love that distaff i dont think i can really use it RIP #next model i might try one of the longer ones that can be held in place a variety of ways rather than exclusively held in the hand #i dont know what theyre called but ive seen tons in paintings of spinners. usually like the length of an arm maybe ? #could work better. we'll see #supported spinning
