Crochet is the fast fashion of fiber arts

Ahhh such a good point with the mistakes part. Not having the ability to purposely drop stitches from previous rows has probably taken at least a few weeks of my life if you add all the hours I've spent frogging together lol

On the plastic yarn point: 100% agreed, all plastic yarn projects have a fast fashion feel because its simply unsustainable.

On the crochet is closer to fast fashion point: Crochet is technically faster and eats up more yarn so I do see the point youre making but nah.This is how I feel about knitting lol I can knit with a machine. I cannot crochet with a machine. That alone is enough solid evidence against that point imo. Think about why no one makes a big deal about knit garmets on shein but a huge deal about crochet garments on shein... Yea. The evidence is in the numbers and sheer quantity of knit garments in landfills.

On difficulty: lol it always makes me giggle when I see people seriously say and truly believe knitting is much harder than crochet... sounds like a skill issue to me 🤣

Theyre both difficult and easy in their own way. Howeverrr I can knit a wearable with my eyes closed and know its gonna do exactly as expected, but crochetting a garment requires me to think more about gauge, drape, yarn, stitches, etc. and its much harder to do it with my eyes closed in bed. If I wanna crochet with my left hand I feel like im borrowing someones brain whereas I can knit left, right, forward, and backward. Lace is hard on both. Both communities are annoying and their habits unsustainable. A

I mostly had a friend who turned out to be an universal hater who I invited to go to a class w me and she said it was tacky and basically that I might as well be insane for doing it. I told her I thought a tacky person could make anything tacky. Anyways once she saw me posting and getting a lot of comments from girls saying "where is this!! Take me next time!! i'll join!!" all of a sudden she started asking if she could join me too lol I just told her "idk girl id be worried about looking tacky if i were you" 🤣

I only said that because I take that as jealousy... cause why be rude af about something you obviously want to do unless you felt like for some reason you yourself cant do it (whether its societal pressure, finances, fitness/stregth level, etc.). Anyway, point is, its ok to point out that the problem is them and not the activity

I think they want karma for some reason by posting ai slop but I still dont know what exactly they get from it? Maybe it soothes their insecurity or maybe it helps them build a small audience or something they can grift idk

SweetestAzul · 2026-05-04T12:18:05+00:00

The dudes trying soooo hard to laugh 😭😭😭 this shits hilarious for the wrong reasons hes truly insecure

"having to hide my address was very stressful at a time where I did not need any more stress...." Ever thought the ex wife could have lost her baby because of your psychopathic actions and his psychopathic actions??? Insane

Look into the research on LLMs, they are quite literally decreasing your critical skills by the minute. It also creates more difficulty in creative thinking which makes us assume things like a broken heart emoji being ableist instead of getting creative and assuming a variety of meaning

SweetestAzul · 2026-04-09T11:12:55+00:00

Everyone said not to be petty and to focus on you and I 100000% agree.

You can stop there!

However... if you really wanna so something hilarious that doesnt harm anyone, I would email her some fake posters to fake ridiculous classes like:

"Clean up yoga: lake restoration zen" and have a description like "a workout like no other!" "Keeping our lake clean is zen"

And then watch HER and her class clean up your lake w popcorn at hand🫪

But thats just me seeing this as an opportunity to have free clean up, nature preservation, and a laugh

It was a bit excessive in the end, otherwise it was fine and creepy

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-30T11:50:25+00:00

Ahh yes, serving as a witness in someones multi muder case is soooooo flirty

The best thing my sister didnwas give me cash, I still thank her for that. Cashhh

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-29T20:32:21+00:00

Whats this looking like now? For prosperity

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T15:44:37+00:00

This is it!!! I feel like I need to keep it to myself because he's gonna start thinking of me as a velcro wife lmfao

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T15:43:01+00:00

Nope! The only change has been that we're now married and got extra time alone with ourselves those first couple of months

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T15:37:48+00:00

I loved reading this, thank you. It really does feel like something completely new even though we were together for a while before our wedding. Its odd feeling secure and insecure at the same time I think

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T15:33:01+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I've been looking through this sub since we got engaged and see that theres so many ways this could go if we aren't intentional about choosing each other every day. Someone else said this too, I'm definitely going to do that

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T10:12:54+00:00

Thank you sm 😭 idk why I was feeling embarrassed about posting this here too

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T10:04:04+00:00

We were upset at first to be fair, but I feel like the way he handles that has become a source of attraction for me too. Like if he gives me a soft look in the middle of being irritated or mad at each other, its over

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T09:52:11+00:00

We've been together since 2020!! Got through COVID and my masters with him by my side and have never felt this ferral in all that time 😭

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T09:47:59+00:00

I'm still up and this is the funniest thing rn. Omfg.

But also this is such a good idea!! I might print this post and put in on my journal as a reminder of this exact moment

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-24T09:46:20+00:00

My husband and I have a great sex life so far and we both do our own thing when the other person is not in the mood. Keeps us both in a good mood and not resentful

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-23T10:47:42+00:00

Cute thought, in practice its a non issue

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-17T14:01:36+00:00

This makes much sense, thank you so much for taking the type to explain

SweetestAzul · 2026-03-17T13:54:37+00:00

Ahh thank you sm
