Finished a thing!

Edit: I posted the Etsy shop in the notes, but gonna put it up here too in the finished project pic. It’s GameOverStitches and all their stuff looks awesome.

I’ve been working on a hoodie inspired by stained glass. It’s not done, but I think it’s worth posting anyway!

Pivoting to cross stitch for a moment, I wanted some pseudo mindless busywork. Pattern by TrunkyStitches on Etsy, they do lots of really cute black work patterns.

Reading the comments and tags on a crochet post from last night. It makes me just wanna...guys. Gals. Nonbinary pals. Creature-friends. Please, if you're crocheting and you're having a difficult time, there are a TON of us on here, just on tumblr! Who have been doing thread/yarncraft for literal DECADES who would love LOVE LOVE LOVE to help you figure out what went wrong and how to fix it!

I AM ONE OF THEM. I SERIOUSLY AM ONE OF THEM. I don't know everything, I'm STILL learning new stitches 32 years in, but I am so very happy and willing to help you figure out what went wrong. I have been crocheting for 32 years. I have been knitting for 4. I taught myself to knit. My Mama'aw taught me how to crochet. I am not a snob about it, I want to help. I know for a fact that a lot of others on here do too. Please, blow up our ask boxes, message us, mention us in a post, ask us for help, we'll happily give it! There's no shame in not knowing, and heck, I know a lot of us have a TON of resources we could share. I have an entire youtube tutorial playlist that I can send to people that ranges from basic stitching and problem solving to some pretty advanced stuff, for both crochet AND knitting.

I WILL TRY TO TEACH YOU HOW TO CROCHET FROM SCRATCH IF YOU WANT ME TO.

I know I am not the ONLY ONE!

We want to share our threadcraft with others, not hoard it. We are dragons, but we are dragons of sharing, not secrets kept to ourselves. No matter your age or skill level, we want to help, we want to share, please, please just ask!

A chairde, I would like to present for your amusement & edification, An Argument Within My Brain. *************************************** Ahhh crap, I tore my seál. Tried to pick it up off the sofa & didn't realize the offspring was sitting on it. Ugggghhhh. Okay, nbd, I have the threadcrafting skills to repair this, and I'm cold without it, so let's hop right on that.

MATCH THREAD

Okay, which side, this bitch is two-toned.

… NO TONE. ONLY MATCH.

What about contrasting thread.

… ACCEPTABLE.

What color, we literally have every possible color of embroidery floss.

NO COLOR, ONLY FIX. MATCH THREAD.

sigh *Kill Task* *Limit Color Selection* *Pick Pretty. Result: Lavender* Here is your thread. Put it on a FINISHING NEEDLE, yes, that one right there, and mend the gorram seál.

... FINE

Things I have created with thread and determination as I learn how to make my own patterns and use up SO MUCH extra thread from premade kits
