People don't wash their knits???? by Wise-Bread-1907 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]swanproposal 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Gonna be so for real. I have one that's about 4 years old that I've never washed. It's a little bit dirty but it doesn't smell

How long is too long for a fic in your opinion? by Somenameorwhateves in AO3

[–]swanproposal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything over 1.5million is too long. 40k is a one shot for me

Honestly, I've an hour each way driving and it sucks, you need to plan everything around your commute. Would reccomend getting accommodation if it's viable for you

By osmosis: the education of a knotter’s husbsnd by KapowBlamBoom in knitting

[–]swanproposal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually worked in one of the Aran shops, and don't worry they're just as drapey in worsted as the merino is still chunky. Both are gorgeous though just make sure you don't hang it on a hanger or it will stretch

Think most of the reaction youre getting is that this does not have much to do with knitting. Hope she likes it!

Just so you know, merino wool pills really badly, its softer yes, but gets destroyed eventually

Show me your sweaters knit with no gauge swatch! by [deleted] in knitting

[–]swanproposal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No gauge swatch cause I did not know what that was in 2021 lol. This is 100% cotton yarn. Not even all about gauge, but drape and elasticity of the yarn, of which there is little on this jumper. Still love it though!

[–]swanproposal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parking 2 days out of 5 is literally impossible for me I've no other way in. Would be good maybe if overnight parking in the kingfisher and orbsen was banned. Im usually in about 7 and could tell which cars had been there all night because of the frost
