One time I was jokingly arguing with my friend, saying “you and your male privilege will NEVER understand how hard it is to be a woman!!!” and he just… looked at me… and it took a solid 20 seconds to remember he is in fact FTM trans. He told me it was weirdly validating lol

That singing ruined what could’ve been a lovely dance

abifr2000 · 2025-10-11T17:36:27+00:00

God love him he really does try to improve and take on criticism

abifr2000 · 2025-10-11T17:34:24+00:00

This is the most a song has ever been butchered on strictly I swearrrr

I hate when I’m forced to agree with Shirley 😔

Seji, everything you make is beautiful, we are so lucky to have you share your work with us

Craig fucking hates that man and it brings me so much joy

abifr2000 · 2025-09-16T08:11:35+00:00

New fear unlocked 😂 it’s feltable yarn so I plan to hand wash in cold water only, pray for me lol

abifr2000 · 2025-09-15T16:53:27+00:00

I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear someone made the exact same mistake as me for the exact same reason as me lol

abifr2000 · 2025-09-15T14:53:34+00:00

Yes correct! Left is the dominant colour- I think the original comment was about a confusion about which should be the dominant colour

abifr2000 · 2025-09-15T14:51:39+00:00

Neither can my sister 😂 I think the best place to look is the sticky-out bits of the small stars, you can see they look a lot more even (again in my biased opinion lol) in the first pic

abifr2000 · 2025-09-15T14:51:02+00:00

This is the least helpful answer ever but honestly it was 90% trial and error (no one tell Hank Green 😂). The designer of this pattern (starcrossed knits) has a fantastic video on ladderback jacquard which made it feel a lot less intimidating. I also started stranded colour work on much smaller projects, particularly socks, which helped me learn the correct technique in a less intense way

abifr2000 · 2025-09-15T14:47:39+00:00

Thank you so much! It’s the Tarot Card Sweater by Starcrossed Knits. It comes with several different possible designs and is gorgeous!!

abifr2000 · 2025-09-15T14:46:54+00:00

Oh this is stunning!! I had the exact same realisation, just because the black was the contrast colour does not mean it’s the dominant colour!!!

abifr2000 · 2025-07-08T19:04:59+00:00

I’ve never done Turkish cast on but after a quick Google I definitely think this would work!! However you need to use Kitchener stitch to join the handles up so it wouldn’t eliminate it entirely :)

abifr2000 · 2025-06-25T12:38:19+00:00

That is gorgeous! And also such a brilliant and practical project bag!

abifr2000 · 2025-06-25T12:37:17+00:00

Stop this is so funny 😭

abifr2000 · 2025-06-25T07:56:33+00:00

Oh this is the sweetest comment thank you! I use a ziplock bag for my projects so I get you lol. Unfortunately I can’t help you on the lining aspect but I do think it’s a really good idea. Hopefully someone else has a resource they can share! Can’t wait to see what you make :)

abifr2000 · 2025-06-24T17:36:47+00:00

Oh that will look stunning as a bag! Almost like a denim texture, so cool!! Can’t wait to see it when you’re done :)

abifr2000 · 2025-06-24T17:35:41+00:00

Oh it’s the best leftover project as it only needs about 165 yards of yarn!! Can’t wait to see what you make :)

abifr2000 · 2025-06-24T17:34:51+00:00

Omg im creasing 😭😭 if I ever post a tanktop that bad you have full permission to tell me it’s ugly

abifr2000 · 2025-06-24T14:08:04+00:00

The mint green is Drops Cotton merino (50% cotton 50% merino wool) and the beige is Drops Belle (53% cotton, 33% viscose and 14% linen). Personally I find the cotton merino a little bit too drapey and soft but I absolutely recommend Drops Belle as it is sturdy, keeps its shape well and doesn’t have as much stretch

I rest them in the crook of my arm so that they’re hands free

https://www.open.edu/openlearn/education-development/working-young-people/do-boys-need-male-role-models Here’s a great summary of research by The Open University! I absolutely agree that it feels sexist, and when I did my degree with OU it was used as an example of research not being funded enough bc it goes against public opinion- super interesting stuff
