So, I took my little puppies outside today for the first time and they’re so unbelievably brave while simultaneously being the biggest morons I’ve ever seen. I’ve decided to name every one of them Jaime Lannister.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Jaime Lannister #1 just ran head first into a tire, backed up, and did it again.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Jaime Lannister #4 just tried to fight my 90lb lab.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Jaime Lannister #2 been laid out in the driveway for a straight 15 minutes. Thought he might be dead. Nope. He’s alive and drunk on sunlight.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

The puppy formally known as Jaime Lannister #5. She hasn’t done anything stupid so far. Just catching up on her beauty sleep.

Name changed to Brienne of Tarth.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Brienne of Tarth thinks the cat is her mother. I said “that not your moms, Bri. He’s a dude.” No reaction. Renamed Jaime Lannister #5

[sassbewitchedmyass]

You are so right, friend. Brienne of Tarth reinstated.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

How could I forget that doofus! So sorry #3! Jaime Lannister #3 ate a beetle after I yelled at him not to and then immediately proceeded to throw it back up. Beetle was still alive. JL #3 ate it again.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Behold, 4 dumbass Jaime Lannister’s and 1 Brienne of Tarth(middle puppy)

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Update: Today, Brienne of Tarth got stuck in a hole and didn’t know how to climb her way out of it and Jaime Lannister #1, forever the knight in shining armor, jumped into the hole after her!! Now, they’re both stuck. But they’re together.

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Update: They like to sleep in the ‘bear pit’ now

[sassbewitchedmyass]

Update: Jaime Lannister #3 and Brienne like to sleep in the food bowl

The other Jaime Lannister’s prefer to nap on an old broom

me using the thick part of a thick-and-thin yarn: ooooh lookit so fluffy!! so floofy!! so great!!!

me using the thin part of a thick-and-thin yarn 3 stitches later: holds breath, moves slowly and methodically as though disarming a bomb because if I work at my normal tension the yarn will snap and explode in my face and I Will Die

Yarn Gothic

-Your pattern calls for size 8 needles. You have all the size 8 needles in the world, you buy extras to teach people. You go to grab a pair. There are no size 8 needles.

-Your scarf is 3 feet long. It’s been 3 feet long for a month. No matter how much you knit/crochet, it will always be 3 feet long.

-You made a gauge swatch. It is perfect. The project you’re working on is nowhere near the right size. Your gauge still matches.

-You find the perfect yarn for a pattern you’ve been wanting to make. The craft store doesn’t carry it. The local yarn store doesn’t have it. It may have been discontinued years ago. It may never have existed. You no longer remember where you learned about it. 

-You’re running out of yarn on a project and go to buy more. The dye lot number is different. Is it close enough? Maybe. Pray to the yarn gods, they are sometimes gracious enough to grant small prayers.

-You vow to only buy yarn for planned projects, your stash is getting overwhelming. It doesn’t matter what you plan, your stash will still grow without your help.

-You have yarn you bought for a project once.It didn’t work out and now it sits in your stash. Forever. There will never be another project that’s right for it.

-You took up spinning to curb your yarn habit. Your yarn habit is now your fiber habit and you have dual stashes. You may never actually make anything out of most of the yarn you spin. Both stashes continue to grow when you’re not looking.

-Your wip basket has things in it from years ago. You’ve forgotten about them. You’ve forgotten the patterns. You’re not sure you ever made them in the first place.

-Somehow your 3 foot long scarf is finally long enough. You run out of yarn before the end.

Reminder for all frustrated knitters and crocheters:

It’s ok to mess up on knitting/crochet projects

it’s ok to make mistakes

it’s ok to make something and not like it

it’s ok to practice and make scraps, not all of ur work has to be a project

You’re learning, it’s ok. No one starts out as an master crocheter/knitter.

We're having a baby!

We’re having a baby!

In November we will greet a new human in to our lives!

And because of that there will probably be a lot if baby knits and other crafts from now on. But hopefully not only baby knits, I will most likely create other stuff as well.

So far I have knitted two sweaters and a pair of socks for the baby.

Annoying knitting things

Nearing the end of a long tail cast on and realizing the long tail is about two inches too short.

Patterns that don’t have row numbers.

Forgetting a yarn-over.

Yarn snobs (not everybody can afford to buy $25 skeins, dammit)

Realizing the size needles you need are the one size you don’t have.

Having to go to work instead of being able to stay at home and knit.

Splices in the middle of a skein.

Realizing halfway through a project that you really should have taken the time to make a gauge swatch.
