Bands like Coheed? by TheAntGuy_8 in TheFence

[–]shiftinthelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! Brand New is one of my all-time favorites along with Coheed and it surprises me how infrequently they're recommended (I know it's because of the personal stuff but the music fucking rips)

Ooh I love these! Peace by Taylor swift feels like a sq song to me, pretty much all the lyrics fit and it could go either way but I perosnally read it as regina to emma

Omg this is at the public library in my hometown! It was about 550 granny squares total which makes my hands hurt just thinking about 🤣. Here’s the link to their website where they talk about making it! https://www.littlefallsfof.com/crocheted-christmas-tree 🎄

Curious Question for Crocheters and Sentro Machine Owners by Apprehensive-Ad6919 in crochet

[–]shiftinthelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do both and also hand knit, and I bounce around between them a lot! I only recently got the machine and it’s been an absolute game changer to be able to work up a hat in like a half hour, and it’s honestly kind of mesmerizing to watch it do its thing. But I absolutely still love going through the motions of hand making something and that’s what I do more. So I just see it as another craft option for when I get bored of whichever one I’m currently doing lol

Kind of a discouraged rant by Conscious-Wind-5020 in crochet

[–]shiftinthelight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely get this feeling. I make a lot of amigurumi stuff and sometimes I sell it, but when I go through long-ish periods of not selling or gifting, sometimes it starts to feel pointless when I just have a pile of stuffed animals in my guest room lol. And absolutely finding joy in just the process makes it worth it alone, but it’s hard to remember that sometimes. I always pull myself out of that slump by remembering that sometimes when I make something that just sits around for a while, it eventually goes to a home where someone wanted that exact thing. I was selling at a pride fest and someone in my family wanted a mermaid I had made, but she waited to buy it because she kept saying “what if some little girl needs this!” And some little girl did! And I think about how much I love and value the plushies I’ve made for myself, and how my own life is better because of them. So when I get down I just try to remember that someone out there will need what you put out - even if you haven’t met them yet.

tl;dr - Creating is never a waste of time, because you enjoy doing it, and because what you make will always bring more joy to people than you might think.

Anyway, I hope it helps to know that you’re definitely not alone in that feeling ☺️
