granted i still have a billion other projects i haven't finished and i don't have the yarn i need for that (yet)
skoden
but i need this sweater
skoden
i need it bad
𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠, 𝕤𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕪
I SAID A HEY-YEAH-YEAH-YEA-YEAH
skoden
also i haven't worked with this level of color work yet
skoden
I SAID HEY
𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠, 𝕤𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕪
WHAT'S GOIN' ON!!

Ziri✖O
OH MY GOD DO I TRY
Ziri✖O
now I'm upset and wish I knew how to knit!!!!
skoden
not too late to learn
Ziri✖O
because I just KNOW this won't look half as good crocheted
skoden
it's really not that hard
Ziri✖O
yeahhh I just have problems keeping the tension even
skoden
if you can crochet, you can knit
Ziri✖O
also i am a bumblepaws and have poor coordination but I just need more practice
𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠, 𝕤𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕪
practice practice practiiiiice
skoden
yeah tension can be a problem. i tend to just hold my yarn, i don't wrap it around my fingers
skoden
i find that doesn't let me have the control i need
skoden
i finally finished teagan's spiral throw, even though i haven't blocked it yet
Ziri✖O
i should just teach myself, there's too many cute things I want to make but can't yet
skoden
𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠, 𝕤𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕪 okay but if i get this job managing the strip club, i bet you can 100% imagine me bringing knitting
𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕠, 𝕤𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕪
I CAN ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SEE IT
skoden
Ziri✖O : i'll ask teagan for the videos she used! or i can maybe do a discord call with you and teach you
skoden
i can't teach rn i am....... not having in the time department
skoden
but!!!
skoden
also i can get a collection of books i use regularly for casting on and binding off
Ziri✖O
yiii no worries!!! I will Make Attempts(tm) off youtubes
skoden
once i find them
Ziri✖O
since that's how I learned crochet and it worked out pretty okay for me
skoden
oh! and look for your local stich n' bitch circles!!
Ziri✖O
ohhh I should do that those always sounded fun
skoden
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)
skoden
*tunisian
Ziri✖O
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
also i highly recommend investing in chiagoo's knitting interchangeable circular needle set if you decide knitting is for you
skoden
i use those whether i'm working flat or in the round (meaning making tubes)
skoden
plus the steel cable in the center gives bigger pieces structure and room that straight needles can't
skoden
......nope i totally haven't sunk hundreds of dollars into this hobby and rarely finished any projects /sweats
skoden
(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
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆 OH TACO since i saw you do fiber arts!!!
skoden
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆
Amazing. I actually crochet. I can't get my hands to work for knitting
skoden
it's mostly knitting focused, but people who crochet also flock to eat.sleep.knit
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆
skoden
they support a lot of indipendant yarn companies
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆
^^ what I am working on finishing
skoden
oh my god that's so pretty
skoden
it's gonna look super good
skoden
unrelated: i'm so sad that one of my favorite yarn companies folded-- despondent dyes
skoden
my favorite colorway from them was "picking sprinkles out of my cleavage"
skoden
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
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)
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆
I got the front panels attached to the back, both sleeves attached and one side fully seamed tonight.
𝕿𝖆𝖈𝖔𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆
need to finish the other side and crochet the collar
ColorOfAbsence

Ziri✖O
