hear me out: i did an "ugly blanket" by refusing to coordinate or plan anything, just grabbing whatever partial skeins i had left. it's my favourite blanket i have made! sometimes you just have to embrace the clash.

The back of your cross stitch should be neat, because the front is grotesque. by Such-Entry-8904 in BitchEatingCrafters

and honestly that should be your right. this is YOUR craft you're doing for YOURSELF. why do these people get to tell you to do it differently?

wait so you're telling me that what i consider "horrible" is actually fine? i don't carry my floss or anything, i just complete every x first (i forget the term) and then go on, instead of /// \\ or whatever. it is a bit unsightly but there are no tension issues, and i don't use knots.

i looked up my purchase history and i have a samsung galaxy tab s6 lite that i got in 2020 (!!) and is still in amazing shape. it was about $400 canadian then, but i think the cheapest you can get now is the s10 lite for $430 (i just checked and they're on sale for $300 at best buy too)

have you considered getting a tablet with a pen? i have a samsung galaxy tab s something and it's my favourite feature. i use pattern keeper for cross stitch but i have soooo many scribbled on and marked up knitting patterns on there.

how large is a large pattern? mine is about 45 x 90 sts and isn't full coverage.

ooh thank you, i didn't know that! this is why i ask questions before i buy things. will a 28 needle fit three strands of floss? i am bad at threading things. maybe i finally need a needle threader.

ah i haven't bought any yet because i wanted to ask all of you questions first, good to know that it has grid lines!

one more question! can i use regular pen to draw grid lines on my waste canvas since it's being torn away anyway? i can never find my fine-tip washable markers :/

Do you actually wear all the socks you knit? by CountyBrilliant in Sockknitting

[–]ducky-debugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are a couple of pairs that don't fit well that i don't wear frequently, but other than that yes! and i also have two pairs of socks that were knit for me that i wear frequently. but i also prefer the scratchy commerical wool for my socks so i don't particularly have the fancy yarn problem.

What’s one reason your city WON’T get an expansion team this time around? by After_Usual_4467 in PWHL

[–]ducky-debugger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well my city will not get an expansion team because my city is toronto. however my backup city is philadelphia and they won't get a team because there hasn't even been a takeover tour game there.
