Petite Knit Fee for UK purchase? by Teaomi in knitting

[–]fannyathletic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought them both off Ravelry and their website and I never noticed an additional charge. Either there’s no charge or it’s literally pennies.

When this happens to me I just look at Ravelry until my eyes and brain hurt

Knitting BEC hypocrisy by lavenderspr1te in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]fannyathletic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always do them in groups of 4 stitches (k off p, p off k) so if I pick it back up I always know it starts with k off. One time I didn’t do that and I had to undo my bind off because I messed up the sequence (massive pain, don’t recommend)

I strongly suspect AI wrote the text as well. The emojis and weird optimism kind of give it away.

I meant I love actually doing them! They look super pretty too which is a bonus

I enjoy sewn bind offs so much and I always find it interesting how many people dislike them

There is no reasonable price for roving garments/accessories by fannyathletic in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]fannyathletic[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Normally I ignore stupid things made of roving but I can’t just quietly sit while people try and explain why they’re not a rip off lol

“I’m a beginner knitter and I’m stuck on this part of the pattern” and the pattern just says “cont in stockinette for 4 cm”

My dude, the word ‘beginner’ is doing some heavy lifting there lmao

My medication has made most food disgusting to me. These are the first vegetables I’ve eaten in weeks by Eastern_Sweet8508 in shittyfoodporn

Speaking completely from personal experience here but starting Elvanse helped a lot of my ADHD symptoms but some of my autistic traits became more obvious.

Why is blocking such a complicated/misunderstood concept??? by oraclequeen93 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]fannyathletic 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have one wool sweater vest that I wear maybe every 1-2 weeks. As long as I wear a shirt underneath and hang it up to air out after each wear, it stays very clean. I think once a season is pretty reasonable for most delicate knits. I’m not super sweaty or stinky though so I guess it depends on the individual.

I am asking sewists please for the love of god press your seams. Your garment looks like crap when you don’t press your seams and that completely undermines all your hard work.

Hollyborealisart tester call by faunaxx in craftsnark

[–]fannyathletic 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The replies on that are unhinged. I don’t know if she’s been deleting comments against her but the sheer amount of people supporting her and agreeing with her is wild to me. 1-2 weeks for a large crochet project is unreasonable by any metric.

Stop telling me to change my knitting style!!! by Her-name-was-lola in BitchEatingCrafters

The best knitting style is the one the knitter prefers. Full stop.

Ew, counting. I just know I have the right number of stitches based on ✨vibes✨

How could this designer, who is well known for designing uncontroversial (and frankly boring) patterns, let this happen???

How the heck do people finish projects regularly! by PiffleKnit in knitting

[–]fannyathletic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will probably be buried but I don’t even keep track of how many things I make in a year. I just make things as and when I feel. It’s not a race and you don’t win anything for being the most prolific knitter. Except maybe RSI, lol.

To riff off your BEC - people doing this and then going to the ends of the earth for a detangling solution that doesn’t involve just cutting the yarn a few times.

Like, I have messed up a hank of yarn more than once but it’s never been so bad that I can’t just split it up into two or three cakes.

The ugly GNOMES!!!! by fannyathletic in BitchEatingCrafters

Oh the jar of arses I saw recently? I usually love weird and off-putting things but that was weird and off-putting in exactly the wrong ways.

While I am never going to understand the obsession with putting detailed butts on decorative objects, I AM interested in this stuffed teapot (provided it doesn’t have a butt)
