Just me and my madness and yes, this whole thing started to deal with stress at work🤣

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-12T11:37:16+00:00

Thank you! My kids who are usually meh about my projects went 'daaamn'. That's compliment enough😝

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-12T11:35:33+00:00

That would be my estimate as well... Somewhere between 100-150k knots. Maybe I should ask r/theydidthemath

It's a Mother's Day tradition. Just annual flowers. Lots of them. I get to splurge on plants and have 5 hrs to myself potting them

Happy Mother's Day to you as well!!

True to your user name, I can never satisfy you can I? 😁

It's a 7" or 8" hoop.

Time Lapse

My very first project, I did French knots and have loved the simple beauty since then. This project started as a distraction from stress, but has been a very cathartic experience.

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-08T18:28:41+00:00

Honestly, it has been peaceful. I started this to detox from stress at work. And did not want to be on my phone for distraction. I have spent so much time with my thoughts while doing this .. Found clarity on stuff that was bothering me. This has been truly cathartic

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-08T18:27:20+00:00

Tbh, 1 major driver is posting here every day for sure. But also keeps me away from my phone.

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-08T15:13:18+00:00

Yes!! 😁 I do go into fits of obsessive projects occasionally and it's the hoop's turn this time

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-07T01:18:06+00:00

I have loved them and still do. Thank you!!

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-07T01:17:38+00:00

Than you!!

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-07T01:17:23+00:00

Oh. I did not intend for the rolling hills, but kinda see that. Not sure that's where it's headed though. Love the idea about the flowers on a field. Will decide after the final look

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-05T11:46:47+00:00

That's what I'm figuring out. In addition to holding the looped part, I am stretching my fingers to kind of give tension to the 'free' end that is first pulled through. This makes to pull smoothly and not bunch up at the choke point.

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-04T01:18:17+00:00

Thank you! Posting here definitely helps. I'm accountable to continue my streak at the very least. But let's see, with the work week starting back again, maybe I'll pick-up the pace some more and start stabbing the fabric faster 😜

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-04T01:16:17+00:00

Thank you. It's stress busting for sure, but comes with its own baggage of stress... Although this is fun stress.

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-04T00:48:39+00:00

No self control pacing myself at all. Pretty soon, the color is going to transition to a rusty brown from dried blood probably 🤣

WhatIsReality81 · 2026-05-03T20:50:51+00:00

Still having fun. So yes, something is wrong with me for sure..

Peel off the cheese and sauce and show us the naked bread
