All Things Cool, Queer and Crafty

Queer cutie without the booty, just trying to MAKE ALL THE THINGS because why not?! This blog is 90% crochet/knit, 10% other crafts, and 100% geeky and weird.

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.

Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie Brandon, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.

This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

a coworker just texted me that Marie brought in even more yarn for me today, I’m going to be crying into my knitting until the day I die 😭💕

Them: So, how many languages do you speak?

Me: 4

Them: 0_0 Fluently?

Me: Yep.

Them: Wow! What do you speak?

Me: English, Spanish, knitting, and crochet.

Them: What? But...those aren't real languages.

Me: *slides across the table a simple knitting pattern*

Them: What is this? I can't read this. It makes no sense!

Me: Actually it does. You see...it's a simple lace pattern. All you do i cast on 20 stitches and then work in a 4 row repeat. The first row you work a yarn over and then knit 2 stitches together. You do that all the way across and then purl evenly back on the wrong side of the work. Then on row 3 you knit 2 stitches together and then yarn over. Do that across and then purl back on the wrong side again. Repeat that 4 row repeat for the length desired and bind off loosely.

Me: Would you like to see a crochet one?
