Knits for Spoons

Whether you’re a physical health spoonie or a mental health spoonie, I want to knit you something. I take requests for colors, type of garment, fiber type, and anything else you like: cables, lace, fair isle, etc. I’m also hoping to have a stash of hats ready to ship out sometime soon. Every package comes with a knit, a handful of paper cranes, and maybe a few surprises, depending on what's lying around. Current waiting list: 8

Hi friends :)

I just wanted to let you all know I’m doing a lot better, and also that I’m taking some time off for me. I might still be around some posting dumb shit and reblobbing and stuff, but for the most part, I’m not really gonna be here. I don’t imagine I’ll be gone more than a week tops, but I’m telling y’all this because a) you’re my friends and I want to keep you updated and also b) I don’t want you to think I’ve euthanized myself. I’m in a much better place and I’m okay :)

A few more things:

The CBD experiment was 85% huge fail but 15% wild success. I’ll write up a real post about it sometime soon but not this second.

I got myself a new 2DS XL and Pokémon Y and that’s where most of my time is going. I’ve been a huuuge fan since it first came out when I was in 4th grade and it’s been amazing going back to it. It’s perfect self care.

I will be knitting again soon and/or on and off a little now, but mostly I’m busy playing with my pokes. This is part of my break and I’ll be back soon, I promise.

If you need to reach me for whatever reason, you should message me here using the messaging thing and not asks, for some reason I don’t get notifications about those anymore. If it’s not urgent, I’ll probably ignore it for a little while as part of my disconnecting, but I will see it and I still love you and  we’re still friends <3

Okay I think that’s about it. You can also comment here if I missed something or you’re worried about me or whatever, I’ll try to reply to all comments as I get them :)

I love you guys so much, thank you all for sticking with me through the good and the bad and the disappearing. You’re the best <333

Heyo, this is from my main blog but relevant here too. I’m not gone forever, I just need some me time. I’ll post again when I’m back to it ^_^

In the mean time, feel free to still send requests, and I’ll get to them when I come back. I still love you and love this project and am committed to making it happen, just like. Next week xD

~ matching hat and fingerless gloves for kirazy ~

Update no.1:

Up next: more of the same :D

p.s. the color is weird bc I’m in bed with only my bedside table light on, I’ll get a better picture soon.

[bees-knits]

Update no.2: First glove finished

Up next: Second glove.

Notes: I’m having a really really hard time right now but I haven’t stopped, just a little slowed down. Also, for the record, I have tiny wrists, it’s not a stupidly huge glove, I’m just stupidly narrow (in my wrists and nowhere else 😅).

Edit: forgot to tag @kirazy so they can see how their knits are coming along ^-^

{ the worst day }

I’m having the worst pain day I’ve had maybe ever and I don’t think knitting is going to happen right now. I’ll get back to it ASAP but rn there’s a short delay. I’m sorry :(

In the mean time, here’s an excellent picture of my cat Susie and her toe beans to make you smile:

If any of you want more info on your knit, feel free to ask! I have patterns picked out for all of you and yarn for about half. In any case, I thought you might want to see where you are and approximately when I’ll get to you :)

p.s. if there’s a specific reason you need your knit sooner rather than later, feel free to message me and I’ll see what I can do.

{ spoons what spoons }

I am an Exhausted and Everything Hurts ( even my hands D: ) and I did many hours of homework and got all finished projects ready to go and right now I just need a break a nice relaxing break and I’m probably still gonna knit but I can’t deal with @adorablepolyglot‘s bun right now ( the pattern kind of makes me want to die but then is super duper cute so y’know pros and cons ) so I’ll probably work on fingerless gloves or a hat for whoever’s next ( my Ravelry knows this not me ) but I also might work on something for myself I’m not really sure right now but I’ll get back to work soon for reals promise.

[bees-knits]

This is what my dining room table looks like right now. All four of these are ready to be shipped as soon as I can find the spoons to go to the post office (and as soon as I have the money for shipping >.>). I’m really excited to mail these out and I can’t wait to send them to you!!

@migraine-marathon @my-dreamingtree @pagingdrspoons @thecosmosknowsitself

I’ll send out another notification when everything is actually in transit ^_^

{ a day }

I’ve had a bit of A Day that included things like not having enough pain meds and having to rip out and hour and a half of knitting because I’m an idiot and everything is just a Lot today and just.

I’m sorry I wasn’t productive today. Nothing got mailed, or packaged to be mailed, I didn’t get stuffing, the knitting I did I had to undo, and I’m so sorry. I’ll try to do better tomorrow.

The only good thing that happened was that I was cocoon and my cat snugged me:

I’ll be better tomorrow, I promise.

Heyo all. I made a Ko-Fi in case you want to donate. I want to stress that every knit is free, from yarn to shipping, but I’ve had some requests asking if people can help out with costs, so I made it easy. Tbh I feel weird doing this but if you want to help, I’m not gonna say no :)

[bees-knits]

People have been asking for this, so here’s a reblob.
