eugh colourwork

[bugtheclown]

Cross stitch is crazy and I don’t have the mental capacity or patience for it I say as I power through a full adult sized garment made up entirely of intricate colourwork using fingering weight yarn

Me when I'm struggling to interpret instructions in a knitting pattern

[andy-hates-colourwork]

me, from my bedroom: "is knitting at the work party socially inappropriate"

My dad, from the kitchen, without hesitation: "yes."

me: "DAMNIT."

making my baby sister a jumper and goddamn it is hitting me hard how short my faint is compared to most people. what do you mean she's in the 2y/o sizing range she's in prep.

what do you mean I COULD FIT THE 8-10Y/O RANGE ON THIS PATTERN

broooo

sorry I disappeared again y’all. I had plans I could not share with you cause the haters (me, trying to focus on one wip at a time) would sabotage me 😔

I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:

Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed

and now that my weird Wide Pentagon™ exists, it's time for the most tedious part of this entire thing. making Rocky's body. what if I start yelling incoherently

[andy-hates-colourwork]

mmmm should I do four more rows to match gauge length or start decreasing now and risk Wonky Rocky shape. hmmm

[andy-hates-colourwork]

I fear I've made Rocky's stitches uh... a little too tight. but 😔 that is okay 👍 it just means more stitching for me later

[andy-hates-colourwork]
