I’m thinking of making a discord server for crafters with disabilities/chronic illnesses
It would have multiple channels for generic chat about knitting/crochet/other fibre arts, as well as channels dedicated to venting about illness, asking for advice or tips on dealing with pain while crafting etc.
Please like/reblog this post if this is something you’d be interested in!
I will set up the server if there are 10 people interested, and we can see if it grows from there :)

This is such a pain in my butt but OHHH isn't is beautiful? People have like my post about my selkie shawl so here it is. It's hand dyed merino yarn (which was titled selkie yarn) and light grey merino yarn. I used an Irish moss stitch for the bored and regular knit and pearl for the body.
Feel free to steal the idea if you find your own selkie/seal inspired yarn.

maybe someone could make something make sense to me, perhaps if you’re of the witchy/magik or something otherwise adjacent and not specified persuasion
okay so like, here’s what’s good:
I broke my leg when I was 11 and taught myself how to crochet while recovering but I had actually wanted to learn how to knit and went with my mothers advice of “learn to crochet, it’s easier”. which, whatever (funny and ironic since my mother never knit or crochet, her further reasoning was “one hook how hard can it be”)
anyway, since I’ve been very focused on on knitting this year with minor hiatuses of crochet in between, something has felt different while knitting like.. like I was supposed to be doing that all along? I just keep having these strong feelings of when I look at my hands they’re not, my hands? like obviously it’s Me and That’s My Body, but more of This Isn’t The First Time These Hands Have Crafted Like This
my first instinct is that maybe it’s my lineage and connecting way back with some of my ancestors, and them reaching out somehow or way and that they knit and knit for necessity. maybe explaining my batshit obsession with socks, but?? I would kill to hear if someone else has had similar experiences
which granted, the whole thing Is An Experience but *shrug* pleabe send help lol

I am so boring that I am excited about loom knitting. Knitting!
Anyway. I bought a Flexee loom so soon I should be able to do all the cable knit! And increase and decrease, of course.

also amidst uncertainty and feeling less than themselves, to all my fellow moots and writers: i hope u know how amazingly all of you write, whether it’s smut or angst or fluff. even if interactions are lacking (some of it can be blamed on t*mblr’s shitty ui/ux and programming) or the writing just feels off for some reason, it’s perfectly normal. it’s part of growth and improvement and it’s like yadda yadda yadda we’ve all heard this before and don’t really implement it because the brain has funny ways of making us feel like shit and it absolutely sucks but it will pass soon. i won’t have a set time on how long this will last and i cannot tell you how long of a break you should take but at the end of the day you should be prioritising yourself first and when you feel refreshed, you can come back to your wips and requests and first drafts. sending all my love to u guys cause we do this shit for free. give yourself more credit and take care of yourself fr <3

speculation about how much a show is faring based on trending tags is so weird to me like sometimes people just like shows a normal amount, happen to see it on the PLATFORMS trending tab/recommendations, then talk favorably about them to their friends/coworkers/family afterwards. it's not that complicated. word of mouth is so underestimated here tbh

Tarot: Libra, ruled by Venus and some weird desire to flirt with the idea of everything in existence while suppressing your most base emotions.

What I'm Currently Reading
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you've never read this masterpiece, you're missing out. It's one of the first historical fiction novels, yet there's no smut. It's set in both London and Revolutionary France.
This is my first time reading it in 23 years.

I used to go to a local Knit Night each week after work. I loved that community. But since I had a baby earlier this year, I can't reliably go to Knit Night each week. I really miss it. So! I'm sharing more of my knitting on here instead. Knitblr community gimme your best well-intentioned batshit advice, yarn snobbery, and extremely political humor. I'll feel right at home.

I used to go to work at a 9 to 5 job and enjoy it. It made me feel like I had a purpose (I'm a Capricorn, we live to work)
Now I'm on social media all day looking for followers and customers for my business and knitting my shawl in the off time when my back isn't killing to death.
I should have sued that doctor who did the lumbar puncture...I maybe might have felt a little less worthless then.

In the last 48 hours, three artists I followed on twitter and fucking TommyInnit have announced their new, shiny, tumblr accounts
I wasn't taking the "everyone's gonna migrate from twitter to tumblr" shtick very seriously but now I'm starting to get concerned
Guys we gotta work faster-
