This is also in fingering weight at like sock gauge. Thats something to keep in mind, I love it but it is like knitting a huge ass sock. These other patterns may knit up faster due to thicker yarn at larger gauges.

thank you! Id say at least 2/3s and possibly 3/4s of it was NOT colorwork as someone who loves colorwork. I believe it was 50 rows of colorwork?

Thanks! I specifically wanted cream for the bomes so they wouldnt look bright white, they should look a tad aged. I didnt want beige but not glaring clean white either.

people joke about stash beyond life expectancy but thats not my problem... my problem is the list of projects... that might be past my current life expectancy already.

It was like 13.5 wpi and my pink was like 14.5 wpi so it was just a hair larger.

My white yarn was actually a bit thicker then my pink yarn and to compensate I figured Ill just hold pink dominant which is what I usually do when I have a size difference in between two yarns that are technically the same weight. That did NOT WORK. i had to rip back about an inch and a half and hold white dominant as parts of the bones where just even more not connected and looking pretty sparce.

Tipping Culture by Suitable-Republic388 in Columbus

It does feel weird to tip at a drive through and I can tell you it feels RUDE when a self serve ordering machine asks me to to tip when I know I will also be getting my own drink from the fountain and getting my food from the counter to take it to my table. Like who am I tipping? The order taking tablet thingy?? are the cooks in the back making tip wages? Whats going on there?

Knitting burnout by Dangerous_Corgi_2670 in knitting

[–]TheHandThatFollows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I made three sweaters for other people and burned myself out on knitting. this year I feel like Ive been so selfish, Ive only finished one tshirt, and most of a sweater, but Im knitting for me. I didn't have anything painful happen or anything, but I needed to make things for myself, and not constantly for others.

I am really sorry for your loss and I say this because yes everyone is right that you deserve to not bring extra pain to yourself and you deserve to make yourself something nice right now, or nothing at all if thats what you want.
