skoden
2024-01-04T07:01:58.000Z

skoden
2024-01-04T07:02:17.000Z

OH MY GOD DO I TRY
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:03:00.000Z
now I'm upset and wish I knew how to knit!!!!
skoden
2024-01-04T07:03:10.000Z
not too late to learn
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:03:15.000Z
because I just KNOW this won't look half as good crocheted
skoden
2024-01-04T07:03:18.000Z
it's really not that hard
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:03:27.000Z
yeahhh I just have problems keeping the tension even
skoden
2024-01-04T07:03:28.000Z
if you can crochet, you can knit
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:03:47.000Z
also i am a bumblepaws and have poor coordination but I just need more practice
practice practice practiiiiice
skoden
2024-01-04T07:04:04.000Z
yeah tension can be a problem. i tend to just hold my yarn, i don't wrap it around my fingers
skoden
2024-01-04T07:04:21.000Z
i find that doesn't let me have the control i need
skoden
2024-01-04T07:04:55.000Z
i finally finished teagan's spiral throw, even though i haven't blocked it yet
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:06:00.000Z
i should just teach myself, there's too many cute things I want to make but can't yet
skoden
2024-01-04T07:06:19.000Z
ChromaDestino okay but if i get this job managing the strip club, i bet you can 100% imagine me bringing knitting
I CAN ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SEE IT
skoden
2024-01-04T07:06:51.000Z
ZiriO: i'll ask teagan for the videos she used! or i can maybe do a discord call with you and teach you
skoden
2024-01-04T07:07:02.000Z
i can't teach rn i am....... not having in the time department
skoden
2024-01-04T07:07:05.000Z
but!!!
skoden
2024-01-04T07:07:19.000Z
also i can get a collection of books i use regularly for casting on and binding off
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:07:26.000Z
yiii no worries!!! I will Make Attempts(tm) off youtubes
skoden
2024-01-04T07:07:32.000Z
once i find them
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:07:39.000Z
since that's how I learned crochet and it worked out pretty okay for me
skoden
2024-01-04T07:07:43.000Z
oh! and look for your local stich n' bitch circles!!
Ziri✖O
2024-01-04T07:08:20.000Z
ohhh I should do that those always sounded fun
skoden
2024-01-04T07:09:18.000Z
tbh knitting is nowhere near as complicated as crocheting, you could even make a transition from crocheting to tunesian knitting (aka it's a super long crochet needle)

oooohhhh
skoden

knitting it just literally binary, with some variations that can look complicated, but with practice, really isn't-- granted i can't read charts super well (thanks learning disabilities), but there's all sorts of written patterns and people will usually translate if you ask ravelry
skoden
2024-01-04T07:12:09.000Z
also i highly recommend investing in chiagoo's knitting interchangeable circular needle set if you decide knitting is for you
skoden
2024-01-04T07:12:26.000Z
i use those whether i'm working flat or in the round (meaning making tubes)
skoden
2024-01-04T07:13:03.000Z
plus the steel cable in the center gives bigger pieces structure and room that straight needles can't
skoden
2024-01-04T07:13:55.000Z
......nope i totally haven't sunk hundreds of dollars into this hobby and rarely finished any projects /sweats
skoden
2024-01-04T07:15:03.000Z
(also if you haven't checked out eat.sleep.knit, it does knit/crochet alongs for stuff and in general is a great place to order yarn)
skoden
2024-01-04T07:16:04.000Z
Amazing. I actually crochet. I can't get my hands to work for knitting
skoden
2024-01-04T07:16:23.000Z
it's mostly knitting focused, but people who crochet also flock to eat.sleep.knit
skoden
2024-01-04T07:16:46.000Z
they support a lot of indipendant yarn companies
^^ what I am working on finishing
skoden
2024-01-04T07:17:04.000Z
oh my god that's so pretty
skoden
2024-01-04T07:17:10.000Z
it's gonna look super good
skoden
2024-01-04T07:19:28.000Z
unrelated: i'm so sad that one of my favorite yarn companies folded-- despondent dyes
skoden
2024-01-04T07:19:41.000Z
my favorite colorway from them was "picking sprinkles out of my cleavage"
skoden
2024-01-04T07:20:26.000Z
and i still have a skein of "i like long walks on the beach and burning bridges" around, too, but all the projects i wanna do need more of it than i have
skoden
2024-01-04T07:22:56.000Z
and i also have one from them in worsted (i usually work in fingering or sport weight) called "who's crying now??? me... it's me" (really pretty variegated pink and cream with purple speckling)
I got the front panels attached to the back, both sleeves attached and one side fully seamed tonight.
need to finish the other side and crochet the collar
That is an amazing sweater. If I didn’t have like six projects on my needles and like two sweaters queued up... lmfao I say as I start a temperature blanket
