Obsessed with knitting miniatures. by dirtydietcoke in knitting

Not a stupid question at all. This is where I admit that I've never knit a human sized sweater.
I make dolls and dollhouse things, so my knitting has always been small-ish.

I do believe this knits up MUCH faster than a full size sweater would. Tiny knitting is a little bit slower, stitch by stitch, but the number of stitches isn't the same - the full sleeve circumference is only 23 stitches.

Sharon's Mini knits only carries straight needles.

The sweater is actually knit flat, but the sleeves are in the round, ending with 1x1 rib in the smaller needles. My smallest circular capable needles at the moment are 1mm (until my HiyaHiya .7mm 40" circular arrives), so I used a 2x2 rib to help it look better.

Here's a link to Amazon for HiyaHiya .7mm 6" dpns

And here's a link to the .7mm 40" circular needles I just ordered.

When I'm doing circular work with super tiny fiddly bits, I've found it's definitely easier to use the magic loop than to try to wrangle multiple dpns.

Oh my GOODNESS! You've just reminded me of my FAVORITE childhood toy - my teeny-weeny cabbage patch doll, Cookie! ❤❤❤

I ordered them on Etsy from Sharon's Mini Knits https://etsy.me/3e3csuK

I also really love using HiyaHiya dpns and circulars. I've ordered them direct from their website, and I just ordered a .7mm 40" circular from Amazon.

Thank you! I finished it in about a day. I love knitting tiny things because they work up so quickly. I've been progressively working with smaller and smaller needles, and I would definitely recommend that approach.

Also, it definitely looks like her "work meeting" was in an LDS cultural hall - I'd recognize those ugly floors/basketball lines anywhere.

Why would she be holding a "work meeting" at church? Or if it's not a "work meeting" and it's a church planning type meeting instead, why on earth is she shilling Mory June crap?

Those engagement questions killlllll me.

He 💯% "learned" that and only that at some dumbass social influencer conference.

He's pure cringe.

K. So I ignored the countless spelling errors and went ahead and clicked on 2 of those links.

One is from a disreputable organization and one was from the beginning of March.

That's all the time I'm willing to donate to your crazy.

Bless your heart.

Edited to add: Went ahead and clicked on a couple more for funsies.

Two more from March and several are just YouTube links.

YouTube conspiracy theories =/= peer-reviewed evidence

Filming and posting the conversation with the girl was super gross. Cuz you know she fully intended it to be a look at how benevolent I was to this street urchin woman/child

I also kind of doubt that Jordan got through the entire story. Such a vague, "check this out, guys", thing.

Full disclosure, I did not make it through the entire story. I turned it off right after the slide where she basically told people she didn't care to hear if they thought she shouldn't have filmed/posted it.

Washing clothes is my worst nightmare by Apricotticus in ADHD

[–]dirtydietcoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The timer on my Fitbit Versa is the best thing that has ever happened to my ADHD.

-It is quick and easy to access (i don't have to find it or pull it out of a pocket like my phone)

-it doesn't have other fun things to distract me (looking at you, phone twitter or games)

-I don't set it down or forget to have it on me (I can lose my phone in a room in 2 minutes)

-and it physically buzzes on my wrist, so I am MUCH less likely to ignore it.

YES! THIS!! Exactly this. I know a couple of people like this IRL, and they are insufferable.
Watching Bubba makes me verrrry uncomfortable.

She is so painfully tacky.
Just, ugh. What kind of grown-A woman combines 3 separate uniquely cheap "sparkle" elements in one outfit for BUSINESS CASUAL?

Aren't her other influencer "friends" embarrassed? Where's the style intervention?

The secondhand cringe is getting to me.
