The Boopening has given me more interaction than the last month combined and Tumblr honestly feels more fun than it has in a long time

So I thought it’d be funny if I finished homestuck on 4/13 but I’d have to read 178 pages a day for that and uh okay I don’t think I can.

someone: this character is a hufflepuff because they're sweet and kind!

me: that character uses sweetness and kindness to mask their need to be adored and revered. that same character is also ambitious and has goals that they would do anything to achieve. they're a slytherin.

someone: oh yeah this hothead is a gryffindor

me: that character is hotheaded, sure, but they're passionate about the things they create and are constantly striving to learn more. ravenclaw.

someone: but, what about this evil guy? such a slytheri-

me: gryffindor. puts themself in harm's way, fights for what they truly believe in despite the world saying it's impossible.

I hate taking time off from my knitting cause restarting is always the hardest part. But after a week of covid I'm so ready to get going on this shawl. I really hope I can work fast enough to get it done before October hits.

I finally got the first chart repeat done on the Guernsey shawl I'm making for @kalgalen! Now that I can see how it'll all look I'm incredibly happy with it. My measurements are a bit wonky to be perfectly honest - The width is slightly short and the length is longer than it should be - but my tension is always weird no matter what I knit or how. A good blocking will at least fix the width issue and a good long wrap is always nice.

I do think that if I make this again I'd choose a different yarn. The one I got to fit my budget is very loosely spun and it makes some of the finer details (like the honeycomb at the top) a bit indistinct. The acrylic/wool blend is also a bit rough. Not overly so but definitely enough to warrant a good vinegar wash and steam block to soften the acrylic dominance and give it a better drape.

Remembering how genuine self expression and care into executing that self expression helps with depression is changing my life for the better. Doing two happy dances while getting ready and looking forward to being seen is something I had forgotten was reasonable to want.

To celebrate weed being legalized in Germany as of today, I'm proud to say my 420th boop goes to my wife.
