when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.

thank you, landlords, for everything you do.

im not sure what it is you do, but you make significantly more money than me so it must be something, right?

Blocking this doily was an experience! It took a little over three hours and a bit of my sanity. I’ve told myself I’ll never do this again, but I feel as if that might be a lie..

Photos of the doily are of it while being blocked. I totally forgot to get any pics after I took all the pins out. The finished size was 51 inches in diameter.

the universal college experience, no matter your major, is learning how remarkably fucked everything is. except business majors theyre having a great time learning to do basic arithmetic and and staring at that one supply and demand graph where the line goes up

Go, Snorlax!

This massive friend is my first original design! He’s far from perfect (there’s a reason he’s only being photographed from the front), but after 11 years of knitting stuffies from patterns, I figured it’s about time I stretched my wings a bit.

Pattern: From my brain!!

Stranded colorwork is pixel art that you can wear. Anyway here’s a sock I’m working on

It’s my first time doing this sort of stuff, so I’m making a bunch of mistakes lol

Embrace Octopus Sweater, completed in march 2023

this was the pattern that got me into knitting sweaters, and the pattern that got me into knitting color work. it took years and several sweaters, shirts, and other color work projects to work my skills up to the point I felt comfortable with this, but for a while this was what was guiding my knitting journey. now that I'm on the other side, I do feel a bit lost. it's really fun having something that consumes you like this—I feel like I'm always chasing something that can be that light, that can answer questions about what to do next, that can give me a metric to measure against. until I find that again, I'll just be making what feels right in the moment

also, wearing this sweater feels like you're getting a big, warm hug from a tentacled beast, which I'm sure some of you freaks are into

Work in progress Wednesday. Yantar glove pattern by Anna Zhuravleva used to make fingerless gloves.

The instructions say to pick up extra stitches between the fingers, but I’m still getting holes or gaps when I do that. Anybody know how to fix that?

#very neat pattern

The contiguous shoulder/sleeve method slaps if I may say so myself
