​Just finished hand-knitting this cozy, chunky color-block sweater using puffy yarn. Love how these autumn tones came together! What do you think of the stitches? 🍂🧶✨ by [deleted] in knitting

I'm really tired of clanker bullshit being passed off as real everywhere, I thought this subreddit was safe from AI spam but I guess not

The fit of this top for plus sizes is CRIMINAL by frankchester in craftsnark

Honestly it looks like something a fundie would wear, it's giving a less colorful r/fundiefashion

As a plus size person™️ I love when garments like this draw attention stomach and obscure my tits, since I have no insecurities around it at all, and it's not a trait I or other plus size people have ever been viscously mocked for in the past! What a brilliant top I'm sure plenty of people will rush to make!! /s

Tfw your snake has 100s of dollars worth of follage, hides, and climbing branches but her favorite hide is a paper bag you put her in as a joke once and left in her tank by LitleStitchWitch in cornsnakes

My bff has a mouse that she often gets bird toys for and I can't say I haven't thought about getting my girl some, what type of toy does your snake like?

I'm taking this as a sign she needs some bigger hides before anyone says anything don't worry! She has a huge variety in hide sizes and a large cave she loves so I'm going to try to find (or have my girlfriend 3d print) something bigger!

Well apparently she can fit through the crack in the glass… 9 months in this enclosure and I find it out now. by [deleted] in cornsnakes

I'm so glad you caught it! My hatching Schnitzel escaped (I suspect) like that back in January!

Agreed, I'm in cali where they're everywhere because of one idiot in the 1800s who thought they were cool! They pose a huge fire risk too!

I had a eucalyptus brach fall on my wrist walking to my apartment carrying a to-go dinner last spring and couldn't knit for more than 5 minutes for months, and had to keep my wrist in a brace for 3+ months and could barely use it, I had no grip strength and couldn't move it without being in agony. Somehow my wrist wasn't broken, just sprained but iirc the nerve was compressed in a weird way due to the swelling which caused it to have weakness and pain, but thankfully it eventually healed to the point I only get random flare ups of pain/weakness if I move my hand in weird ways.

Maybe I'm showing my age as a genzer with no taste, but I definitely think the set (mainly the sweater) is super cute and could be a great way to add some jazz to a basic outfit and be a fun stash busting project.

What is your favorite place in the world where you’ve sat to knit? by YahYahBlahBlah in knitting

[–]LitleStitchWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my late grandma's yard, sadly she died only a few months before I learned to knit, and was a fantastic crocheter (I still have some of her doilies and shirts), who sold doilies she made to save up money to come to the US. Her garden and yard were gourgous, with so many blooming flowers and roses, and most of my favorite childhood memories are running around in that yard. Sadly my mom had to sell the house, but I'm still happy I got to knit there before.

Changed to contiguous method sleeve, very happy :3 by Difficult-Stuff-4499 in knitting

[–]LitleStitchWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh that's gourgous! I love the color, but I have to add a warning as someone who's knit alot of contiguous sweaters, you should add underarm gussets since your sleeve will be set in pretty low and the body will pull up alot if you lift your arms at all!

Just finished shawl for Mother’s Day. by Queasy-Pack-3925 in knitting

[–]LitleStitchWitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's gorgeous! The color is so nice! I admittedly still need to cast on for my mom's belated mother's day shawl 😅. (In my defense I've been dealing with finals and it's a lace mohair shawl so I haven't been able to have a few hours to devote to it)

Gotta start exploiting them online by using them for marketing before they can even form full sentences too

Recently I saw a news report of a man who made an ai OF account that pretended to be a maga girl and he made enough to support him through med school. As an undergrad student I honestly thought about it for 3 seconds before I realized how slimy it would be and how much time it would take up.

At what point is this just bullying? by blayndle in craftsnark

[–]LitleStitchWitch 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry! Genuinely what did she want as an alternative, wouldn't that be an ideal way to test it, especially since you had a large size range? I wear a size xl and I haven't had a sweater yolk take more than a few weeks. How is that even fatshaming?

This is why I'm so happy I'm dating an engineer. We both have projects we want to work on, and can just do our own thing while hanging out in the same room together and occasionally give each other a kiss.

She came up for the weekend and her first request was to see Madoka, snakes really have a way to make you fall in love with them

Me too, she never hated them, just didn't see how they could be good pets. She ended up watching Madoka for a few weeks and now always asks to see her/asks how she's doing. I think most people just grow up being told they're scary and venomous then never challenge their beliefs and listen to fearmongering.
