i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist

#not a shitpost #related: the most powerful crafters alive are crocheters who spend 7+ years making an intricate table cloth no one is allowed to eat on #all that arcane magic into making a display object primarily for their own enjoyment #and that of the blessed few lucky enough to be invited into their home to behold what is by rights a sacred object #if you spend a certain number of hours crafting something u have the right to have it put in a shrine or museum of your choosing i think #you have imbued it with your Life Essence by sheer force of concentration and obsession it is Holy now #anyways. old ladies who knit/crochet/embroider etc are a thousands times more powerful and intimidating #than old white dudes who are obsessed with war memorabilia or whatever #i have nothing but respect awe and appropriate amounts of fear towards crafters. my liege

This might be the most intense color-changing stuff I’ve done so far. I never looked into tapestry vs intarsia techniques before this. Learnt something new.

The pattern is here on Etsy. As the designer TheKottonKaboodle mentioned, this is not a beginner pattern and can be a bit overwhelming if you are not used to change color.

Blessing of the knitter/crocheter: may your hands never have cuts, bruising, sores, hangnails, or any other nuisance that would make your craft painful. May your hands and wrists never ache 🪷💛

#art #knitting #crochet #i just figured out that the reason i feel like my yarn is burning me is because i have a cut right where my yarn goes #AND it's on the knuckle. this is so fucked up.... #hate and sadness on planet earth #and yet i have still crocheted my rows. i get knocked down but i get up again. you're never gonna keep me down #that cat meme of that song has stayed in my head since i first saw it. i think it's saved my life actually #also this blessing goes double if you have a disability especially of the hands 💛🪷💛

It's interesting that crochet is regarded as much easier to fix mistakes, while knitting is very difficult to fix mistakes. I think that's true only when you're a novice--it's easy to just undo stitches with crochet by pulling the yarn, and more difficult to tink back or frog part of jt and put back on the needles.

But once you're comfortable fixing stitches in knitting, it's really not so bad. Laddering down allows you to fix stitches many rows ago, and if you can stomach it, you can undo big and complicated mistakes with some surgery. But with crochet (at least as far as I know; I welcome correction from more experienced crocheters) you can frog, but... that's about it. Want to fix a stitch 10 rows back ? Either make peace with it or frog 10 rows. I find crochet less fixable than knitting by far.

when you start a new thing of yarn for a knitting or crocheting project and you think "i'll do this as a center-pull this time" that's the devil talking. if you try this it WILL get tangled and you WILL cry.

Made a clam. The pattern is here designed by ComplicatedKnots. I’m a huge fan of her designs.

The pearl is one of my earrings. I considered just using sparkly white yarn to make the pearl but eventually dropped the idea. For some reason my shell insides ended up bigger than outsides when I lined them up. So I had to reduce 1 round for both insides.

#i'm aware that there are probably 500 gifsets exactly like this but *shrug* life is too short for me not to go after my passions #and my passion is every time that dumb mf puts his head right in her face. girl that's hot. it's also probably an hr violation #txfedit #msredit #danascullyedit #foxmulderedit #xfilesedit #tvedit #tvandfilm #tvgifs #fox mulder #dana scully #mulder x scully #90sedit #also i specifically chose scenes where he does it to her because there's something about the looming. something about it. idk #don't analyze me pls #and in fact. don't analyze these gifs either because the coloring/lighting is NOT consistent and. well. that's just life #on the bright side gillian anderson looks good in all lights so. that certainly makes life easier #anyway i just finished rewatching s1 because i'm not over it. about to move on to s2 while i work on another crochet project sooooo #the xfiles phase is not over babes <3 soz

One of the great things about fiber arts (at least to me) is that... you outright own the things you make. It's hard for me to comprehend actually owning something, and that's that. The item you have created doesn't need to come with strings attached (pun intended).

In a world where you are constantly buying things but not owning any of it, truly, it's such an odd experience to actually have ownership of your labour, time, and love like that.

#art #fiber art #crochet #honestly that's how i feel with my blanket still #like i don't own my subscription to spotify or the games i virtually purchased fullprice (which. why)... #...but when i get my yarn and i use the crochet hook i have been abusing a little i OWN the things it and i make #that's honestly kind of intimidating to me because i haven't truly felt i owned anything. like not even my life. it's a problem. #i just got some pretty yarn to use for a cardigan. they told me to use acrylic but i can't wear acrylic and i like cotton #<it's insane that i can just Decide to not use the pattern recommendations. like that's still crazy to me #anyway fuck capitalism and adopt a craft if you can #it's SUCH a freeing experience and it will make you feel crazy once you know what it feels like to actually own your labour. lol. #like it doesn't matter WHAT craft it is. could be knit. could be wood burning. could be abstract car manufacturing... #...as long as you can do it safely to your standards and you are satisfied and fulfilled with it then it can change you. let it change you.
