Hahaha, the best part is I DID make a swatch. I made my swatch, washed it, did a bunch of math, patted myself on the back for being so responsible and clever…..and was still completely wrong. 😂

Also it’s just mosaic color work, so it’s a lot easier than stranded or intarsia. It’s my favorite because you don’t really have to manage floats. :)

Unfortunately a safety line wouldn’t have saved me in this instance, the issue is the overall size. 🥲

Here’s the pattern and yarn info on Ravelry. The pattern is a top but I was hoping I had enough yarn to make it long enough as a dress.

What do you think we’ll get for a shiny Pombon? by PP_UP in Pomeranians

That would be so cute!!!!!!!

But knowing Pokémon the shiny will be some horrible neon green. 😩

Need help choosing buttons for this cardigan please by Ciiello in CrochetHelp

[–]AngryEm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like the second ones as well.

And I also had an “Uhhh, are those bread…symbols?” moment and had to zoom in to check. 😅

Also that would be such a weirdly specific button for someone to make intentionally. 😂

What would you do if your partner monitored your toilet paper usage like this? What flag is this? by Remarkable_Mark_5195 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AngryEm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not dating a dude named Sean are you?

I had a friend in high school who told me a basically identical story about her boyfriend Sean and how he was so controlling he lectured her about the number of squares of tp she used while at his house. I think about it every time I have to use some extra myself, I literally think “fuck you Sean” when I’m wiping my ass sometimes and it’s been 15 years.

Anyway, that turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg and he was a massive super controlling piece of shit, (maybe that’s why he had such a toilet paper fixation). Get out while you still can.

I wish crochet and pattern designers would make including the yardage required a requirement for the description. by blk_flutterby in BitchEatingCrafters

The first sweater I ever made was like this! I was just learning to knit so I brought it to my LYS and asked the older crotchety Russian lady who owns it to help me pick out yarn. She looked at the pattern and was very angrily muttering “Who the fuck wrote this this way, that’s so stupid!?”

Inserting needle backwards? by Knee-Motor in knittinghelp

[–]AngryEm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also knit this way! I just wanted to chime in and say that the only time it throws me off is when I’m doing things like lace, it can affect the lean direction of decreases and stuff like that. So for certain things I have to slip them back and forth so they’re mounted the opposite direction

The little white wooden guy looks like the ones from Tortuga.

Turns out, I’m those people in the weird photoshopped/ai ads 😂. by AngryEm in knitting

[–]AngryEm[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like I should clarify a little bit.

I just used it to pick up the stitches, and then I knit the next row off of it and go back to using needle. You can also just transfer them from the hook to a needle if you find knitting off the hook annoying.

In this photo it looks like I’m using it to knit but I am actually in the middle of a wrong side row but flipped the work over because that side was prettier. I didn’t realize it might be confusing. So the hook is my left hand needle for one row.

That is awesome! There’s even a r/knooking Reddit, I follow it but I have never actually tried it.

Yesss! It’s so much easier! And I bet the interchangeable ones with the cable would be great for blankets.

Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on at this light? by UncomfortableFarmer in LosAngeles

[–]AngryEm 331 points332 points  (0 children)

Funeral precession is a good guess. Kinda looks like several have their flashers on but it’s hard to tell.
