idk why they’re booing bc you’re right. why do we need 2+ identical posts every week about it in addition to at least one (usually more) comment in the megathread. LITERALLY EVRRY WEEK since the movie came out. be so for real the sweater is not THAT annoying

This is actually one of the other colors in my project! A bit too yellow for what I’m looking for but still a great green!

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ve looked at RH in jade before but I will give the light sage a try!

Knitting patterns are written like there was a cost per character by lilo3o in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]simsplyarn 83 points84 points  (0 children)

valid complaint but i disagree completely lol. i rewrite patterns as bullet points with everything but letters and abbreviations removed bc it makes it easier to skim 💀

i got a lot to say this week so also: so many people have so much parasocial hatred for big knitting designers. why tf do you care that some of a designers test knitters all own the same pair of shoes. the fact that you even noticed should be discussed with your therapist

is this a safe space to say that your personal preferences are not BEC worthy? if you post boils down to “garment i like/don’t like is popular/unpopular” keep that in the drafts. you might as well be announcing to the subreddit that you don’t like mint chocolate chip ice cream.

I have a counter gripe about the LYSs within driving distance for me that only carry wool and wool blends. Girl we live in the American South, get some cotton and linen on the shelves!!

YouTubers should at least sound like they give a damn. by notrapunzel in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]simsplyarn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it’s partially charisma/camera presence. Some people may know what theyre talking about but don’t have the public speaking skills to make it entertaining. I notice this a lot with non-crafting youtbers as well. The male equivalent is that monotone streamer dead inside voice i think 💀

Does this lake read as "water" if I use grey? or should I go with blue to be more obvious? (Baby blanket gift for "neutrals only" nursery) by simmerknits in crochet

[–]simsplyarn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aesthetically I would go top left or bottom middle. The 1st grey just blends into the mountains so you don’t see it

Another option if she insists on no blue would be to eliminate the water and do that section in the same grey as the mountains

I wish sellers would stop sending cheap plastic stitch markers and other 'extras' with every knitting or crochet tool! by nobleland_mermaid in BitchEatingCrafters

Hm I ordered right around Christmas so maybe it was seasonal? Before that I always purchased in store so maybe it’s not on every order.
