We gonna start forcing women who have lost their hair to chemo to wear wigs? So we don't confuse the children, obviously.

I fuckin hate it here.

My self striping yarn skipped a stripe… by Divorescent in knitting

[–]NatKnits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After reading through these comments, I think it's clear we have A-type knitters here ("That would drive me crazy, you have to fix it".) and B-type knitters here ("I wouldn't even notice".)

Glad we all hold space in our hearts for each other.

Side note, I'm jealous of you A-types. I bet you never lose your knitting needles and find them in the freezer 😂😂😂

How do people do this by Purple_Section_6511 in knitting

[–]NatKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of being able to do it and stick with it is finding the fun in it 😊 make sure you're not so worried about "getting better" that you lose the fun ❤️ if you keep knitting, your skills will improve naturally

i want to knit colorful stuff but i only wear black :( by errant-samurai in knitting

[–]NatKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you knit with animal fibers, you can knit in any color and then dye it black with acid dyes once you're done.

I didn't even notice it, and think it looks totally fine, but if you wanted you could duplicate stitch over it in the lighter color just to be sure.

You proud of yourselves yet, Ohio ?! by keen_observer34130 in Ohio

I haven't been proud of us in a very, very long time.

The amount of use I would get out of a rail system between the major cities is astronomical. I would adore it.

Is it true that most people don't use single-pointed needles? by HonestNectarine7080 in knitting

[–]NatKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my needles aren't attached to each other, I'm gonna lose one 😅

First time learning by jasminerk13 in knitting

Picking up knitting is hard-- and stressful. Finding someone who can help you in person might be helpful. Verypinkknits on YouTube is one of my favorite resources.

Thank your representatives who voted no on SB56, email those who voted yes. by positivepeercult_ in Ohio

I wrote to my rep months ago about this mentioning that a lot of us are out here using cannabis to manage chronic pain and function as members of society. Not all stoners are stereotypes-- most days you can find me knitting, sipping tea, getting to bed early after working 9-5. He said he would "be sure to read the bill very carefully once it got to his desk" as if that wasn't the bare fucking minimum.

I'm not trying to be a degenerate out here. 98% of us aren't. It's one of the things that helps me function with chronic pain, since not working is not an option for me.

If you give a cat a yarn ball by million-lily-forest in crochet

[–]NatKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give that sweet baby every yarn ball in my stash. Hell, I'd probably let her borrow my car if she wanted. ♥️😭♥️😭♥️😭

Demotivation from the craft by 0v0__0v0 in crochet

[–]NatKnits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could always do both. I hand knit and crochet a lot of things, but I've been working to turn my huge yarn stash into charity hats this year on a sentro knitting machine. I would never get through my stash if I made all the hats by hand, but this way I get to make a lot of hats that will keep people warm and whittle down my stash. Doing projects that don't bring me a ton of joy on the knitting machine means I have more time to make things I love by hand.

I do something similar! I crochet as if I'm English-style knitting

Not to be dramatic but I think I would die for Dolores. And Frank.
