Being an asexual with food sensitivities is one of the worst crimes you can commit in social situations. Every interaction is like no I don't like it. No I haven't tried it like that, but I think I get the idea. No I'm not saying there's something wrong with it, I just don't like it. Seriously, me not liking it doesn't stop you from liking it. I'm not trying to criticize your enjoyment. Like, this really doesn't affect you. No I don't think I should just try it. I think being pressured to try it makes it worse actually...Yeah I've survived without it so far but thanks for the concern.
Has anybody, in the entire fucking history of knitting, ever correctly judged the tail length on a long-tail cast-on? Supplementary question: were they immediately burned as a witch?
Melt the ICE Hat Pattern
In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.
All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to local immigrant aid organizations who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.
Approximately 200 yards of RED yarn of your choice in fingering, DK, or Worsted weight.
The sample shown was knit in Blue Sky Fibers Skyland for the DK version
Suggested Needles
Fingering weight yarn: US #4 / 3.5mm
DK weight yarn: US #6 / 4mm
Worsted weight yarn: US #8 / 5mm
There is also a crochet pattern available HERE

As is tradition in tumblr culture the locals unearth the corpse of a long deceased figure and drag it across the streets merrily, laughing at what is preserved of the person’s words. This custom, seen as morbid in other cultures, is instead done gleefully and with an unmatched enthusiasm

Wisdom of the Sock Knitter
Happy Yule, friends and not yet friends! Tis a season of joy and community. I hope it's treating you well.
A couple years ago I made a post with a compilation of tv-friendly sock knitting patterns and people loved it. It's mostly forgotten about these days but I was reflecting on it recently and came to a conclusion that I'd like to share another lil something with the knitters of Tumblr this year. While I unfortunately don't have a new pattern compilation, what I do have is a bunch of personal knowledge as someone who knits an above-average amount of socks.
For background, this is my 3rd year of sock knitting. I average a pair a week. I'm no expert - I have never, for example, knit a pair of stranded colorwork socks - but I'm definitely on the high end of intermediate. I hope that in sharing my tidbits of random advice and knowledge this can help other sock knitters, too.
So, yeah. Here's an assorted box of chocolates about (almost) all things sock knitting. In no particular order, lessons I've learned thus far (under a read more so it doesn't clog your feed)
Is it just me or has tumblr been flagging a lot of knitting posts lately as “potentially mature content” - like no that’s a scarf what are you talking about?
"I got that dog in me"
The dog in question:
My dog is 40% idly spinning in a chair and 60% knitting angrily.
Knitting the Chinkapin Pullover pattern by Irina Anikeeva. Love how the lace is turning out and the yarn is amazing to knit with - merino/silk blend. I had high hopes this would be done in fall but probably not going to be wrapped up until Jan. I hadn’t knit a pattern from this designer before but it’s super well written and is size inclusive. Not sure that saddle shoulder is a construction I’ll do again the in future - sort of felt like I was knitting an octopus in the beginning lol - but glad I’ve tried something new! (It’s also definitely supposed to be lace under the arms but I read the pattern wrong and only realized two inches later after joining in the round and was like yea no I’m not going back this looks fine 😂)
If you expect someone to knit or crochet for you at ikea prices then you’re getting it in ikea style: total assembly required. And the knitting pattern in Swedish.
Have fun heartless cheapskate.
Sadly, “hope and vibes” don’t count as a gauge swatch.
This has been the best Thanksgiving I’ve had in a long time and I owe it all to going no contact.
Two years ago my grandma called my daughter the “r” word at Christmas and said it was my fault she was “like that” which is just absolutely horrible. When it happened I didn’t say anything mostly from the shock of it, I just immediately calmly took my family home, and never spoke to her again. The day after I told my mom I won’t be attending any family events again where my grandma’s attending. I expected push back but I think this was so appalling that even my mom, who usually pretends nothing bad ever happens while it’s happening, couldn’t ignore it. She agreed, and she picked me; said she wouldn’t be inviting her mother for holidays anymore.
At Easter dinner this year a relative who’s known to want to “debate” and “play devil’s advocate,” loudly talked about how awesome RFK jr is and saying he’s right about vaccines and autism. And I just can’t with this shit. I don’t want to be around it, I don’t want my nonverbal autistic kid around it. This guy always comes to my parent’s for Thanksgiving, so the day after that horrible Easter I decided to rent a beach house 3 hours away from us and told my husband we’re going to spend Thanksgiving at this beach house and said my husband’s family and my brother and my parents are welcome but no one else from my family can come. And guess what, those people we invited came with us (people we love and who treat my daughter with respect and love) and we’ve had a fun, relaxing, cold Thanksgiving weekend at the beach. Fuck that guy I hope he had fun alone watching his favorite politicians on the news by himself this Thanksgiving.
I am done giving my time to people who make me and my kid feel bad. She is clever and funny and stubborn and sweet and if you can’t see that then you can fuck off.
Without the dark clouds attending Thanksgiving dinner we’ve all had a great time. My mom looked around last night and just said with an air of surprise and so sincerely, “this is really fun!”
genuinely I loathe American sizes because they tell me absolutely fucking nothing. Ohhhh knit this with a size six!!!! Use a size H hook on this pattern!! That’s meaningless. Six of what unit. Letters??? Why are there letters. Meaningless. Stupid. Don’t even get me started on lace sizes. ‘Grab your 0000 needles’ why are they called that.
“this needle is three millimeters” this statement makes sense. Number ✅ unit ✅ and easily verifiable. You know exactly how large this needle is (three millimeters across) and I could go get my measuring tape right now and check. Simple. Easy. Because it’s a real object you never have the issue where you put the zero in a random location and now have to play negative sizes.
Unfair of my job to expect me to show up when I have arts and also crafts to do
