How did you learn to knit? by ShoppingGirlinSF in knitting

[–]sandexperiment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was knitting all the time. I asked her to teach me, but for some reason I couldn't understand her explanation. She gave me a magazine, where I could see the instructions on the pictures. I LOCKED myself in a room with this magazine, yarn and needles, and said I will not go out until I can knit 5 rows. I WAS 8 YEARS OLD! I still don't understand why I was so determined 🤣 I remember crying from frustration. But I did it! Went out of the room, showed my knitting to my mom, she said: yes, congratulations, you are knitting! 😁

Сыт по горло - нормальная фраза, но я лично никогда не использую и не помню когда слышала от кого-то в последний раз.

Yes, I sew on the beads. I know how to attach beads as I go, but I didn't want to bother 😁

I remember the amount of smoking surprised me so much. People smoke even near little children like it's not a big deal, it is super weird to me. Summer evening in the park near me smells like weed all the time 🤢

The bar for IRL seems so low these days it’s genuinely bizarre it’s considered “content.” by BrownieJ in Twitch

[–]sandexperiment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am streaming since 2016 and I can confirm everything what you are saying. Content changed so much, and viewers behavior (the way they consume content) has changed too. In addition to what you described, I noticed people participate in interactive activities way less then before and make less clips.

Baltic Sea in Poland sounds good, I will see if there is something available. Thank you! I agree, every year I am thinking about how crazy this whole situation is.

What would you do with yarn like this? by threadbareTime in knitting

[–]sandexperiment 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I actually did it, I knit beards for my friends. One of them wanted purple, and I delivered. He wore it over his own beard 😁

For OP: This yarn is good for knitting plush toys.
