I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! 🍀 If I could, I would wear a moss shamrock mushroom hoodie everyday
I finished a pair of socks! They are cozy.
Pattern is Usak by Hunter Hammersen
Yarn is The Farmer's Daughter Fibers Pintler Sock in Lupine (2023 sock club)
I promised I would find the name of the yarn! I randomly tried this yarn and its very nice! Evergreen yarn studio on etsy. They have an Instagram too. First pair of socks I ever knitted
They are still going strong after being worn and washed many times
Hey sock babes
I just made a free "tv knitting" level sock pattern compilation. My genius plan is to knit down the list in 2024, marking them as done as I go.
But since it is the season of Yule, Christmas, and general gift giving,
If you would also like 32 sock patterns to go ham on (without spending 2 hrs of work finding patterns) here's the Google Drive.
Merry met, my friends!
Really wanna finish this dang pair of socks so I can start my next project. I have ideas
This list was created consulting Year in Reviews, Fanlore articles, user feedback, vintage pinterest posts, and my own knowledge. Don't worry about not seeing the shows in their entirety, vote based on your judgement. Enjoy!
How long do you have to be casually dating someone for until you can knit something for them?
A month?
A year?
30 years, 3 kids and 2 trial separations?
He is not my boyfriend so I cannot invoke the boyfriend curse.
But also he likes Deadpool and a black and red striped scarf would be piss easy to knock out in a month.
